Timeline Resources
Other than the "131 Christians everyone should know" resource, are there other resources thta have the Timeline flag filter built in?
Is there a list of these resources?
How can you tell which are keyed other than searching the filter for every book you open?
Trivia I know in light of the all the issues people are having but I'm just trying to get to know this new version.

Timeline tagged events (in the resource list Kent provided) show a solid blue filter flag.
There are many more resources have been tagged with simple Date References, the timeline filter flag shows as hollow blue flag.

Thanks for this list.
Where is the timeline tag for these? I was trying to make a collection of resources that are timeline tag but could not find the tag to use.
I started the collection by simply adding the books I wanted for now, but if more books get added i would like the new resources to be added automatically.

I don't think there is a way to automate this collection. There is no special tag applied to the resources that work with the timeline that would let you select them. Perhaps Logos could think of adding that as they are created.
For clarity, any timeline tag referred to above is in the resource itself, it is not in the resource's metadata (where it would be helpful for creating a collection).

Just to make it official, let me recommend to Logos that they indicate this somehow in the resource metadata. We should be able to look on a resource's "Info" page, as with "Indexes" and "Search Fields", and see that it has timeline data within it. And it should be accessible so that it can be used to create an automated collection.
Thanks,
Donnie

I have some of these resources but do not see the "flags." Are they there but just not visible to L4?
My concern is if I wait to get the "cross grade" and just keep my resources as they are.... my library won't really be tagged for the new features???

The Timeline flags are a visual filter implemented in L5. The Timeline visual filter is not available in L4. The metadata tagging (with dates, biblical references and other tags that the software uses) is inside each resource and already available and working on L4 and L5.
The DateReference tags within the metadata from these resources have been added to our new Timeline database (L5 only). The solid flag Timeline visual filter represents these matched events to locations inside the resource.

So how functional will a crossgrade be without upgrading to a L5 package? Bob seemed to mention about certain resources "lighting up" when used with L5. Will these be included?

At some point in the future, we will have the L5 engine (just the software) available for free, this will not include the datasets and databases that drive a lot of the new L5 features, including the Timeline.
The "crossgrade" will upgrade to L5 and include some/all of the datasets and you'll be able to use new features such as the Timeline. Pricing/Configuration has not been determined yet.
If you have any of these resources listed above and the Timeline database, the Timeline visual filter flags will light-up when reading that resource (if you turn the Timeline visual filter on).

I noticed today that History of the Christian Church is not listed in any timeline events as indicated in Kent's post. Anybody else notice this?

I have just purchased Christianity in the British Isles (6 vols) as it was on discount, but disappointed it is not tagged for the timeline. So is there a way to know what historical books are tagged before they are purchased? Or could Logos share a list of what books have been/or being tagged for the timeline. Thanks
