# Prayer Dashboard

> Manage prayer requests, prayer cards, public wall visibility, and answered prayers.

The **Prayer Dashboard** centralizes prayer requests from staff, members, and scanned prayer cards — track active needs, mark answered prayers, and moderate what appears on the public prayer wall.

## Quick Start

1. Open **Care → Prayer Requests**.
2. On the **Requests** tab, review active, answered, and public counts.
3. Click **New Prayer Request** to log a need manually.
4. Change **Status** to **Answered** when God provides — `answered_at` is stamped automatically.
5. Switch to **Prayer Cards** to bulk-scan or review submitted cards.

## How-to Guide

### Requests tab

| Control              | Purpose                                                       |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Status tabs**      | All, Active, Answered, Closed                                 |
| **Search**           | Title, description, member, or submitter                      |
| **Public / Private** | Whether a request can appear on the community wall            |
| **Prayer count**     | Increment how many people prayed (manual or member-submitted) |

Cards show thumbnails when a photo attachment exists (e.g., from prayer card intake).

### Prayer Cards tab

When your church collects physical prayer cards:

1. Open **Prayer Cards** and use **Bulk Capture** to photograph multiple cards.
2. Review the **Pending** queue — OCR and staff review turn cards into structured requests.
3. Approve or edit before they join the main request list.

### Portal submissions

Members with portal access can submit requests from **Portal → Prayer Requests**. Those appear here with source metadata and respect the same public/private rules.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log or import">
    Add requests manually, from prayer cards, or via the member portal.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Shepherd the list">
    Keep active requests visible; move answered items to celebrate faithfulness.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Moderate visibility">
    Toggle **Public** only for requests the member approves for the wider church.
  </Step>
</Steps>
