Beginner question: Factbook, Dictionary, and Lemmas
I'm just starting on my Logos journey and watching and working through the Getting Oriented in Logos videos (specifically just watched "Getting Started part 1." While working along with the video, we searched the Factbook for "Vineyard" and selected the Geographical Objects and Features option. In the video, the trainer went on to click on links to a dictionary and later scrolled down further to see the list of lemmas. Although I have dictionaries in my resources and lemmas are also supported in my resource, my entry for Vineyard/Geographical Objects and Features didn't have either of these sections.
I then tried a search in the Factbook for "Feast" and selected "Love feast/Concept" and dictionary entries show up.
I don't understand why Dictionary entries are not showing up for "Vineyard" when they clearly exist in my resource. I also don't understand why lemmas are not showing up in the Factbook (at least none of the entries I tried are showing that). Perhaps the feature of lemmas in the Factbook is not supported in the Starter package, but that wasn't mentioned in the training video.
Appreciate the help. Thank you.

Hi Win

For Dictionaries to appear here, they need to have been specifically tagged by Faithlife. Can you give some examples of the dictionaries you have?

Lemma support is introduced at the Bronze level - you can see what is in which feature set at https://www.logos.com/compare/featuresets

Different types of entries you select from the autocomplete list will provide different kinds of information in Factbook.
The dictionary articles are associated with the Vineyard (concept) entry. I suspect these two entries are supposed to be merged together so that there is one entry with all of the associated content. I've reported this.

I have 29 resources tagged as "dictionary." Some that show up on other Factbook entries include: Baker Encyclopedia of the Bible, Lexham Bible Dictionary, Dictionary of Biblical Imagery, Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary, and Easton's Bible Dictionary.
But from the comment posted by Andrew, it sounds like between when the video was made and when I tried it, a small glitch showed up on tagging and that is why there is a difference in what shows for me and what the video demonstrated.
Thank you for the prompt and helpful assistance.

This may be the issue that I am having. I have the Bronze package and I'm following along with the Logos for Beginners, part 1 video. When I open the vineyard example in the Factbook, I don't have a Lemma section.
I'm using version 9.1.0.0018 and this is a new installation.

Which vineyard option are you selecting - you need the Geographical Objects and Features one to get lemmas displayed.

Yes, Geographical Objects and Features, just like the video. I just tried again to verify and still no Lemmas.

There is no such thing as a "Lemmas" section. Take a look at the "Referred to As" section.

Ah, I see it now. It must be a version difference in the tutorial because Lemmas is listed with an expansion arrow. In my installation, the same entries are under Referred to As. Thank you for the clarification!

I'm having a hard time finding the video you are referring to. Can you be more specific? Which resource is the video in, or which course? Can you use the panel menu to copy the url and paste it here?

The second video, Logos for Beginners, part 1, about 7 minutes in.

Ah, that's what I thought. That video was made for Logos 8.
I'll report that.

Makes sense. I'm sure it is a bear to keep tutorials up to date. Thank you for looking into it.
