Library Collection Filter

Can some one help me with the syntax involved in writing a rule for library collections. I watched the video several times, and can mimic the example in the video, but when I try to develop another rule, nothing happens. I guess what I need to understand is exactly what elements are necessary to write the rule and where do I find those elements to make the rule understand my request.

Thanks,

Tom

What are you trying to achieve with the rule you are working on?

Thanks for the response.

I'm trying to pull out various books, commentaries &/or documents that may be pertinent to a particular topic that I'm studying at the moment. I may know that want all the commentaries that pertain to the book of Luke, but don't know their actual name or author. More recently I downloaded the SDA library in an effort to assist in my study of the differences between the SDA's and mainstream Baptist theologies.

The filters are the same as the ones on the library page.

A simple one would be: author:“Wesley, John”

That would create a collection with all resources by that author. The collection would be automatically updated if you added more to your library with same author.

Small Issues with the Courses Tool
I was looking at the Courses Tool and noticed a few things, not all of which are potential bugs. :) First, I found it a little odd that there is not a filter for license type.
