groups tool - i'm lost

John Kaess

Today's Logos blog is about groups to join using the groups tool.  Unfortunately it does not in any intelligible way tell me how to join any groups.

When i open the groups tool, it pops up a side bar.  Since I have never joined any groups it is blank/empty.  I see no obvious way to get a list of groups so I can choose ones to join.  when i click on the My Faithlife it takes me to faithlife.com and has me logged in.  from this point, I still can see no way to get a listing of groups or to join a group, though there is a button to create a group.  This is completely unintuitive.

I'm compelled to ask why there is a blog post today telling me I should join groups without telling me in any way how to do this.

frustrated.

It is recommending that we join four particular groups

1. Logos Author Collections
2. Logos Sample Documents
3. Logos Library Theology / Denomination Tags
4. Logos Product Collections

If you click on any of these in the blog you will be taken to that group within Faithlife where you will see a "Join" button

If you press that button you will be given access to documents and discussions in those groups - and they will then appear in your Logos 6 Groups Tool

Hope this helps

Thanks guys.  Clicking on the links works.

however, are you guys saying there is no way to see a list if groups?  I am intrigued by this tool, and i'm joining some if these groups, but i feel that i might be interested in other groups, too.  Is there no way to get a list of groups?

Hi John,

I'm sorry your frustrated. You can visit each of the 4 groups listed in the post by clicking the links below:

• Logos Author Collections
• Logos Sample Documents
• Logos Library Theology/Denominational Tags
• Logos Product Collections

Or you can search for groups on Faithlife.com using the search box.

Once you find a group you'd like to join, look for these options in the sidebar.

Here's a post about the privacy settings and what each level of involvement means.

At Faithlife.com (the top level page for these collaborative capabilities) there is a search box which does enable you to search for groups - but you really need to have an idea of what their names are first

The philosophy behind this - I believe - is that you are either going to create a group or to join a group to which you have been invited by someone you know in "real life". So there isn't any mechanism, that I am aware of, to get a complete list.
