# Type Edit

This dialog lets you edit prayer types. It works in 2 modes:

- View Mode: Lets you see the fields but not edit them.
- Edit Mode: Lets you edit the fields. When you are in view mode, press the button to switch to edit mode.

## Name

This is just the name of the prayer type. It will appear in the lists on the Main Screen, and as a choice for prayer type in the Prayer Edit screen.

## Schedule

The schedule field lets you set the default schedule for new prayers of this type. If for example, the default schedule for Prayers is an urgency of 10, and the default schedule for Thanks is an urgency of 5, then when you create a Prayer, the urgency will be 10, and if you create a Thanks prayer, the urgency will be 5. To change this, press the button to open the Schedule Edit form.

## No to Review

This field lets you set the number of prayers of this type that you want to review each day. The app will pick the prayers that are to be prayed today, as well as the prayers with the top score, until it gets to the number you want to review. If you set the number to review to 0, then it will not do reviewing for this prayer type. If you set this to -1, then you will only review prayers that are on a schedule (but none that are urgency-based).

## No to Pray

This field lets you set the number of prayers of this type that you want to pray each day. The app will pick:

- All prayers that are on a set schedule that includes today.
- All prayers whose score is above the maximum score (see Always pray above this score).
- Then it fills up to the number using the prayers with the highest score.

If you have lots and lots of prayers, then the app may pick more each day to make sure prayers don't end up getting neglected.

If you don't want to pray this type at all, set the number to 0 (for example, you may have a prayer type that is just for finished prayers). Setting to 0 will ignore prayers that are prayed on a schedule as well as urgency-based prayers. If you want to ONLY pray prayers that are on a schedule, then set the number to pray to -1.

## Set as focus if selected

If you tick this box, when this prayer is selected (either manually or automatically), it will be set as a focus prayer.

## No of times to pray

When the prayer is selected, then set the default number of times to pray during the day to this number. Trick: If you set a negative number, the number of times will be "Base Score / This Number" - i.e. if this field is set to -5, and the prayer base score is 17, then the number of times to pray will be 3.

## Reminder Time

The app can pop up a reminder to pray this prayer type at a certain time. Set the time in these fields for the time you want the reminder to be. If you don't want a reminder, at all, just clear the fields.

You can set how the reminders appear using Settings.

##

## Always pray above this score

There are times when you have a lot of urgent prayer, and perhaps you would like to pray for more things when this is the case. If you set a maximum score, then the app will always pick prayers whose score is higher than this number.
A good guide is this: The prayer's score goes up by 1 each day, so if you set a max score of 10, then a prayer with an urgency of 1 will be prayed for every 9 days. A prayer with an urgency of 8 will be prayer for every 2 days. A prayer with an urgency of 10 will be prayed every day.

## Shortcuts

The shortcuts list lets you add shortcuts for this prayer type. Shortcuts let you make quick changes to the prayer by just pressing a button at the bottom of the Prayer Details form. Shortcuts let you:

- Change the prayer type.
- Open the form to add an update.
- Mark it for prayer today.
- Change the schedule.

To add a shortcut, press the button to the right of the list. That will open the Shortcut List which lets you select an existing shortcut, or add a new one.

If you press on a shortcut in the list, you will see the Shortcut Details form, which shows everything that they shortcut does.

## Toolbar

In view mode, the toolbar has the following:

- The button deletes the prayer type. You can only delete types that have no prayers.
- The button switches to edit mode.
- The Close button closes the form.

In edit mode, the toolbar has the following:

- Ok - Saves the changes and closes the form.
- Cancel - Discards the changes and closes the form.
