Timeline Question
I have yet to come to appreciate the usefulness of the Timeline tool in Logos. It looks like a slick tool, but whenever I try using it for something useful, I fail.
Here is an example: I was trying to search for Pilate in order to pin down the date of Pilate bringing into Jerusalem the Roman standards as described in Josephus, Antiquities 18.54-59.
The timeline did return no results. But then, through the Factbook I came across the LBD, which does mention a date for the event, and even includes a timeline flag for 26 A.D.
Why does this date and event of at least Pilate's arrival not show up in the Timeline Tool?

What ... is this a test for Advanced Placement at Logosian University?
I spent 10 minutes before throwing in the towel. I can't imagine a worse UI design. Oh wait. The previous one was .... well, similar. I don't know why Bob's book keeps coming to mind.
It seemed like Whack-A-Mole ... selecting choices to see what would pop up. And no prize either.
Added:
Not one to 'just give up', and trying hard to think like a Faithlife'r, I tried out 'Jerusalem' concerning the Josephus account. That brought up Herod's Siege of Jerusalem in 37 AD. What? I clicked on it for more info ... yep, a book I don't need. Probably Herod may be been resurrected by Logos!

Flag empty = tagged in resource but not linked to timeline
Flag dark = resource tag linked to timeline
As to why FL apparently stopped the linking project, today my sense of humor says corporate ADHD. More seriously, I don't know but have my suspicions of overcommitment of resources.
