Group Details
This screen shows the details of a prayer group. It is also
used to gather up the group prayers for a prayer session.
The Form
The name field shows the name of the group.
The Default Schedule shows the schedule
that group prayers get when you add new prayers in the
group. For example, you might have prayers start with a
default urgency of 5, but for group prayers, you want to start them
with urgency of 10, but have then drop down by 3 each turn using
"decrement" (see Prayer
Schedule Edit). You don't have to use a different
schedule for the group - You can just let the app use the default
for that prayer type. See Group
Edit.
The Default Prayer Type shows what prayer type is created by default
when you add a prayer to the group. (See Group Edit). If this
is not shown, then that means that it will use the default prayer
type for the app.
The list shows all of the people in the group. You can
press a person in the list to see the Person
Details (and add prayers for them). The
button to the right of the
group adds more people to the group.
The Toolbar
The toolbar has the following controls:
- The
button lets you delete the prayer group.
- The
button lets you edit the
prayer group.
- The
button open the Person List.
If you click on a person in
the list, you can add prayers for that person, and that prayer
will be included in the group
prayer (without them needing to be a member of the group).
- The
button lets you send a summary of the group prayers to any other
group members who have an email
address recorded. Pressing the button opens your
main email app with the recipients already filled in, and
summary as the body of the email.
- The
button starts the group
prayer.
- The Close button just closes this screen.
Adding People to Groups
There are 2 ways to add people to a group:
- When you are in the group prayer window, press the
button to
select a new person to add to the group. This will
open the Person List screen,
where you can select existing people, or add new ones.
- Go to the People list, and then select a person, press the
button to
edit the person. This will open the Person Edit screen.
From here, tick the box next to the group you want to add them
to.
Gathering Prayers
When you are in the prayer gathering time of group prayer, you would
usually find out what each person's prayer are. For each
person, just click on that person in the list. That will
open the Person Details
screen. From there, you can add a prayer for that
person. You can also select on an existing prayer, and
use the "Pray?" checkbox in the Prayer
Details screen to mark that you want to pray that prayer in
the group.

To start praying, press the
button, and the Group Prayer screen will
