Visual Filter - Bible Study Notes

On the Wiki page I noticed that it is possible to link the Net Bible notes and the ESV Study Bible notes to the text. So that you can check the box and the notes will appear. How do you set this up ? I couldn't find any instructions on how to do this. Is there a page that explains this some where?

I'm not sure what you mean by "you can check the box..."

Also not sure which wiki page you were looking at. If you can find that one again, could you provide a link? The fact that you were confused by it probably means it needs to be explained a bit better and one of us wiki editors should do that.

In the meantime, all I can guess is that perhaps you're trying to set up a layout that has your Bible text on one side of your Logos window and the Net Bible notes and ESV Study Bible notes (linked to scroll in tandem with the Bible), in layered tabs on the other side.

You would do that by opening all three resources one by one from your Library (do you know how to do that?), then dragging their tabs around to arrange them in whatever layout you want, for example this one:

Notice that the notes tabs are layered over each other in the right side, so you can click on a tab to bring the other set of notes to the foreground.

For help on how to position tabs within layouts, see the Logos official Layouts and Layouts Management videos, and Mark Barnes' Unofficial Tutorial Video on Layouts.

Once you've got the tabs arranged the way you want them, set them all on the same Link Set (say, Link Set A) and then whenever you scroll or jump directly to a scripture reference, the linked windows will scroll accordingly. For more info on using link sets, see http://wiki.logos.com/Linking_Resources

EDIT: I just noticed that you titled this thread "Visual Filter - Bible Study Notes" so perhaps you were thinking you could turn on/off the ESV Study Bible notes and NET Bible notes using the Visual Filter menu. Actually, you can't. You're confusing two things. Notes that have note markers within the text are the kind of notes that you attach to the Bible verses yourself. You can turn these notes on and off using the Visual Filter menu:

But there are no note markers to turn on/off for the study bible notes. You can only see them in an adjacent (optionally linked) window.

Steve, this is simple to do. You have six possible link sets that you can create between resources. They are found in the drop-down menu under the large resource icon. A screen shot below points to the menu and the links you can set. To do what you want select the same link letter for each resource you want to scroll together. If you select A for your Bible select A for the NET notes and for the ESV Study Bible notes and all three will scroll together.

EDIT: Rosie gave a more complete response, but she is right that your question is a bit confusing. A bit more information about what you are trying to do or exactly where you read about this feature would help.

I may have misread the ESV Study Notes and Net Study Notes to mean the books by those names when in fact they are some one's personal notes for those two bibles. The Wiki page is Visaul Filter and the sub heading is Toggling Visual Filters.

The use of any of these Visual Filters can be enabled or disabled from the Visual Filter button in the resource pane.

Ah yes, it looks like that's the explanation. It was Kevin Becker who created that screenshot so he'd be the one to answer for sure. But the names on that VF menu don't match the resource names "The ESV Study Bible" and "The NET Bible First Edition Notes" (unless he renamed the resources, I suppose). There is no way to get the resources to show up on that VF menu. It's just a list of user-created notes files.

Sorry my screenshot confused you, I have a note file for the ESV and one for the NET Bible to specifically comment on those versions' wording specifically. I made that screenshot before the ESV Study Bible was released so I didn't even think about any confusion could be possible [:)]
