Favorite Visual Filters

I am under-utilizing the Visual Filter tool. Anyone want to give me some good ideas for what to use it for?

Hi! I am sure the gurus of the forum will have very strong examples that will be useful to you but I thought I would get things started. I used to highlight a ton but now I create a visual filter for each Bible book and create highlights in it for key words. I can easily turn each one on/off depending on what I am doing. I have one to show plural "you" so I can tell if the text means one person or more than one. I have the Hebrew names of God in a visual filter so I immediately know which is behind the text. I have one that identifies which "Herod" is being referred to. I have more but those are the ones I use most. I hope others chime in for you! [:)]

Plural "You"
Inserted "You" (inserted by the translation).
Signs of the End (key phrases like "signs of the end" OR "nation? will rise" OR "hear of war?" OR "false christ?" OR earthquake? OR betray OR hat*ed OR abomination)
Lexicon Formatting e.g. highlighting glosses with gloss:*, or NT references in an OT lexicon (one VF per lexicon)

Those sound great. Do you mind if I use those same ideas? I think I got the plural "you" one (Plural Pronouns). How do you do the Hebrew names of God?

Here is the Hebrew names filter:

You can take a copy and add to it as you need to. And you'd have to create highlight styles since you don't already have mine [:)]

Some of my favorites are:

Repetitions and usage of words with theological themes easy to miss (especially in OT) such as:
'Third day' or 'Three days'
'Seven'
'Rock'
'East' or 'West'
Preaching Theme: "Prophecy about Jesus"

Thanks!

Probably not OP desired, but for anyone else:

- A visual filter for monographs, to highlight logical relations, and argument dependencies

- A filter to colorize estimated mss dates and usefulness

Search PUBLIC in the Documents tool and select Visual Filters under type.

What is the basis of how visual filters work and how do I download them to my software? I have never used these before.

Visual filters are a built in feature of Logos. See the following brief explainer video:
