Shortcut Edit
This dialog lets you enter or edit a shortcut.
A shortcut is an operation that you can do on a prayer to make a
whole lot of changes in a single action. Shortcuts
appear as buttons on a toolbar on the Prayer
Details screen. When you press the button, the
shortcut makes the changes to the current prayer.
Shortcut Name
This field lets you type in the name for the shortcut.
This will appear as a button on the Prayer
Details dialog (so it is a good idea to keep the name fairly
short). For example, the Prayer to Thanks shortcut could
be called "Answered".
New Prayer Type
You can use a shortcut to change the prayer to a different
type. For example, you might want to change a Prayer to
a Thanksgiving if the prayer is answered. If this
shortcut should change the prayer type to Thanks, then select Thanks
from the combo box here. This combo contains all of the
prayer types.
If you don't want to change the type, select "<None>" from the
combo box.
If you change type, the prayer will have its schedule set to the
default schedule for that prayer type
(unless you use "Modify Schedule" below).
Modify Schedule
Shortcuts let you modify the schedule for the prayer.
The modify schedule combo has 4 options:
- No Change - Makes no changes to the prayer schedule.
- Add Urgency - This lets you add an amount to the
urgency. If you select this option, a field will
appear, labeled "Add". Put the amount that you want
to add in here. If, for example, you want a shortcut
that makes a prayer urgency go up by 5, then put "5" into the
Add field.
- Subtract Urgency - Works like Add, but subtracts from the
urgency. If you choose this, you will see a field
labeled "Subtract" where you put the amount to subtract.
- Set schedule - This lets you set the prayer schedule/urgency
to a set value. This will replace the
schedule/urgency that the prayer already has. To
change the urgency that it will set, use the
button to open the Schedule Edit form.
Pray Today
This combo box lets you choose what will happen with the prayer in
terms of praying it today.
- Leave Automatic - Makes no change, and lets the app decide
whether to pray the prayer or not.
- Pray Today - Marks this prayer down as one that will be prayed
today.
- Don't Pray Today - Marks that this prayer will NOT be prayed
today.

You can set this if running the shortcut means you have finished
reviewing this prayer.
