Create a Collection Rule for Newly Added Resources

Ed Sponsler

I add more books to my Library than I can keep track of. Free books each month, greatly discounted bundles and so on are a great way to grow a library. However, I don't have an easy way to browse recently added books within Logos software. 

I can look at recent orders in my Account, but that isn't the same as having a collection built in the software that I can browse and search like any other collection.

So....

How can I create a dynamic collection of all the newest books and resources added to my library, say, in the last 6 months?

Ed, welcome to the Forums. 

Faithlife does not tag our books with the date purchased. It does tag them with date updated, and that might be of help. 

I normally sort my Library by Last Updated. That's a column that may not currently be in your Library pane, but if you open it to details view and right click anywhere on the column headings you can add that column. Sort on it and your recent purchases should be near the top.

There is no dynamic way to create a collection based on date purchased for the reason given above. You could tag your books individually or as a group with date purchased data (say JULY18, AUG18, etc). You can then create a collection based on one tag or a series of tags, but that is the closest I know you can get to what you want and involves taking time to tag your books as you purchase them.
