Changing multiple resources' Tags or Types as a group

As you can see, the books in the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers collection (same with the Ante-Nicene volumes) are Typed as Bible Commentary, Monograph, or Systematic Theology, even though I think they should all be Typed as the same Type of resource (maybe).

Is there an easy way to group make their Type be the same other than to open them individually and add Tags to each volume/book?

    You cannot change the Type, however you can bulk tag all at the same time. To do so select the first resource in the group you want to tag. Then select the last one in the group while holding the Shift key. This will highlight the entire group. Enter the tag you would like to use.

    The types are different because the indexing and tagging differs which affects where they appear in the Guides.

    I can group highlight them, but I can't figure out how to enter anything into the My Tags or Community Tags fields for the group.

    Bring up the little information panel on the right side of the library — click the (i) to do so. Bulk tagging is done from there.

    After selecting them you should be able to enter Tag information into the box outlined in red below. 

    or Community Tags fields for the group

    Community Tags are not set by users but automatically on Logos servers when a number of people have assigned the same Tag to a resource

    I don't/can't get the box/15 resources selected window on the right in which to group manage my selection. How does one make it appear?

    Assuming that you have the information panel open (click on the circled i), I'm not sure how you could hide it. So could you post a screen shot so we can see what's going on?

    I didn't realize I had to click on the i/information panel. That did it. Thanks!
