Help me understand my Advanced Timeline issue - is it me or Logos?

I'm preparing my adult Bible Study lesson and would like to capture a timeline view that contains the prophet, Micah in context with other individuals of his era. So....

I searched on "Micah" and got two hits: they fall with in the span of 735 - 700 BC.
I then removed "Micah" from the search and entered the relevant time span expecting to get the same two items along with other contemporary items. But that is not the case; the two Micah items are not in the second timeline view. (See images below)

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Ralph

Can't help you understand. Don't understand myself! I tried Micah out.

At first, there was a bar for Micah's career. Only by zooming in, was there the book Micah wrote. So, that tells me either (a) they don't make sure events don't cover each other up, or they just say "boy am I tired ... 2 is just too many to show".

Then after I was successful getting 2 events, I did as you indicated; removed Micah. Well, that didn't go well at all. Suddenly it got excited and showed everything in the time period ... except Micah. Amos was there. I think Jonah too. Just not poor old Micah.

But all of this was after I locked up Logos clicking on 'Micah'. Big mistake ... had to hard-kill the software. I feel like how they treated the prophets.

I still say, get a new UI designer. The current one is hard pressed to do the obvious and wastes both the staff's efforts (tagging) and the customers' (thousands). Lay off the cutesy for a while.

I have found that the timeline is easier to use when you set Group to none. Then all the timeline items come up together toward the top of the view. It could be that the Micah event is in a lower grouping. When I set mine up like yours I had to scroll down to the Biblical Studies group to see Micah. See below. Even when I set Group to none I still had to scroll down a screen's worth to see Micah.

See my timeline grouped by Subject with Micah circled:

What do you have selected in the left panel?

Well, that's pretty bizarre. Micah and Isaiah and Hosea (early) are 'Biblical Studies'. But Hosea (regular) is Biblical Events, along with Jonah (all careers). And the right-scrollbar isn't matched up to the display-limits.

Not questioning your advice; just the UI design, combined with odd tagging.

If by "left panel" you mean, the Filter, I did not have anything selected.

I find the "groupings" somewhat confusing.... for example... If I choose "Common Divisions" (and nothing else checked) then choose "Pastoral Epistiles"... I would expect to get things about 1-2 Timothy and Titus.... but instead... I get "Apr 3, AD 33 Pilate Questions Jesus for the First Time" which make no sense in looking at the "Pastoral Epistles"
