SUGGESTION: Predefined collection for easier search of Help PLEASE MODIFY AND VOTE
Make it easier for all users to search all help resources by creating a predefined collection covering all manuals, glossaries, training materials ... etc. My own rule is type:(manual, glossary) OR series:("Faithlife Biblical and Theological Lists", "Faithlife Dataset Documentation", "Lexham feature glossaries","Lexham Research Lexicons") OR author:("Proctor, Morris","Morris Proctor Seminars", "Roza, Devin") with
- the interactives with internal documentation,
- Catholic Topical Index,
- Andersen's Biblical Hebrew Grammar Visualized,
- Bullinger's Figure of Speech Used in the Bible,
- Aubrey's Greek Prepositions in the New Testament,
- Lexham Survey of Theology,
- SESB Editors' Introduction,
- Understanding BHS
all added individually ... there are a couple of exclusions such as Fr. Devin's book.
You may well have some additions or corrections to my rule

I voted for that one and made the collection for myself. Very Helpful, thank you.

The problem is who defines what should be in that predefined collections. I disagree with a lot of what you have put in your collection as being help resources. For instance LST is not a help file but what the title suggests - a Survey of Theology., Faithlife Biblical and Theological Lists are topical concordances not help files.
i have no problem with them concept but would not want such a broad definition of what constitutes a help file as you define it. So at this point I really can’t support the idea if this is to be what was included in such a collection.. Users are better off creating their own collections.

Agree. But I can understand the suggestion ... I think MJ's picking up on the intro's to some of the volumes, which is the only source of help on those respective areas.
I already have this, except using layered myTags. The plus/minus is trying to narrow to actual help. Not disagreeing with MJ, but I'd think a 'system' help that includes all the nooks and cranies (subsets of books ... not whole books) makes sense. As an example much of Andersen-Forbes help was/is in old PDFs on shipped CDs that most don't know about.

Faithlife defines it. Period.
My definition, based on what I have used and kept up to date for many years, is based on the principle of being able to find the definitions of as much of the Faithlife added data and tagging as possible.

That option would remain open. But many users do not know how to create such a collection and would not know what to put in it.

I have added this note to the Feedback entry as a result of this thread:
[quote]
For those who need an explanation of my own collection, it includes:
1. the glossaries and manuals (data set documentation) provided by Faithlife.
2. resources explicitly for training
3. documentation that exists only within the tool itself (interactive "abouts").
4. resources that provide training on specific resources (Understanding BHS and it's ilk).
5. resources that provide translations for Logos tagging (Louw-Nida, Andersen Hebrew Visualized Grammar, ...)
6. the Help fileIt's content is visible at Verbum 9 Tip 8aa: Aside: Verbum documentation and training - Faithlife Forums (logos.com)
