Labels are one of the most powerful tagging provided by Logos but one of the hardest to remember to use outside the Bible browser. Even when you become comfortable with the Context Menu it is easy to miss some of them as your selection must start on the first word tagged for the label to show in the Context Menu. Therefore, it is worthwhile building a visual filter for the labels to have a comprehensive view of them on the text.

On the upper left, the Concordance section of the Passage Guide shows all the labels in a passage, one kind of label at a time. Setting allow you to select the label to be shown.
On the lower left is my filter for labels. I usually set accents, semantic features, and syllables to a pencil underline as I don't wish to have the display overwhelmed with them. A simple change to the palette style returns them to the display
The middle column shows my preferred Bible with all other labels marked. The label has a 2 character abbreviation with a + following if the data also supports an interactive.
The right column shows the information panel in which the labels are expanded to show content.
I have marked a Figurative Language label in each panel.

My layout to explore labels so I remember enough to recognize when to go looking for one is:

The Concordance Guide section of the Passage Guide
Label documentation manual or glossary and the Help file
The Bible with my label filter turned on
The Bible Browser so I can easily play with the parameters. Note not all labels are supported in the Bible Browser.

This seems really interesting. I'm intrigued. Would you be willing to share the palette and visual filters you have set up for this? I've spent the past couple days looking at doing something like this and frankly I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I think I've figured out part of it but there's just a lot that I don't know and that will take me a long time to figure out.

Thanks for this. At first glance I can tell I was trying to make it more difficult than it needed to be. I'll spend some time getting more acquainted with it and then likely I'll be back with some questions.
