L/V 10 Tip of the Day #37 Labels for sermons and sermon outlines

MJ. Smith

Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum post: [RESOLVED 12/11/22] ATTN: KYLE: Apparent Lack of Tagging - Lost Spurgeon Sermons - Logos Forums and generated this forum post: BUG: Sermon Outline fails to populate - Logos Forums

In order to appear in the Sermons Guide section, the text must have a Sermon label. Similarly, in order to appear in the Sermon Outline section, the text must have a Sermon outline label. The data contained in these labels in documented in the Help file.
