A couple of problems in setting up a collection

I have just purchased the "Exploring the Old Testament" series and want to update my collection definitions to reflect this but it didn't work as I expected.

The screenshots below outline a couple of areas where I am getting confused.

Why in the first case (above) do books which don't seem to match the series name appear?

Why in the second case (above) do all of the books disappear when I close the quotes?

I assume I am missing something obvious but I just can't see it!

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

    I don't have that series, but the reason it 'works' without the quote is because the invalid syntax means Logos ignores the series keyword, so it's matching the title.

    I would suggest pressing the 'view' button and making sure the series column is shown. You're almost certainly mistyping the series name (or perhaps its even missing). Changing the view will enable you to see exactly what the series name is.

    Thanks Mark for explaining both points.

    For reference the series name is "Exploring the Old and New Testament Collection".

    I forgot that the series - as published - covers both testaments whereas the collection I have bought is only for the Old Testament.
