So now that you understand how prayer functions in Rock, let's look at the details of entering and managing requests. Adding a Request Most people will enter prayer requests online through the Prayer Request Entry block on your website under Connect > Prayer. Prayer administrators can also add prayer requests internally from People > Prayer > Add Prayer Request. About Default Configurations Don't forget to check Rock's settings. Our out-of-the-box configurations will be a great fit for most organizations, but they are all customizable. Modify the configuration on the external website under Connect > Prayer using the Prayer Request Entry block settings. Block Settings Here are some of the settings for these request blocks, right out of the box. SettingDescriptionExample Category SelectionThis controls which categories the requestor can choose for their prayer request. Selecting a top-level category enables all the categories underneath as options. Leaving this option blank will hide the category control from the requester and assign all prayer requests entered here to the Default Category you choose (see the next option).All Church Default CategoryThis is the default category that will be assigned to the request unless it is changed at the time the request is entered.General Enable Auto-ApproveThe system can be configured to auto-approve any prayer requests entered by people on the website. This means a request will be immediately available for the prayer team. Otherwise, you will have to approve (and optionally edit) each request before the team will see them.Yes/No Expires After (Days)This controls how long a prayer request remains active once it's approved. This setting is only used if auto-approve is enabled.14 Default Allow Comments SettingIf Enable Comments Flag is enabled, then this setting controls whether the checkbox the requester sees for "Allow Encouraging Comments?" is checked or not. If this is set to "Yes" then comments will be allowed by default.Yes/No Enable Urgent FlagIf enabled, the person entering the prayer request has the option to mark it as urgent, which keeps it at the top of the prayer stack.Yes/No Enable Comments FlagIf enabled, requestors will be able to set whether or not they want to allow comments on their requests.Yes/No Enable Public Display FlagThis allows the requester to say whether their request can be shown on the public website for a wider audience to pray for.Yes/No Character LimitThis controls the maximum permitted length of the prayer request. Setting this to a reasonable value will cause the requestor to focus their request on the essential details.250 Navigate to Parent On SaveChecking this causes the website visitor to be returned to the page they were on before they entered the request.Yes/No Save Success TextThis text will be shown after the request is saved (unless the previous setting is checked). You can use both HTML and Lava here.Thank you for allowing us to pray for you. WorkflowIf a workflow is selected here, then the workflow will launch following a prayer request being submitted.
