I am under-utilizing the Visual Filter tool.  Anyone want to give me some good ideas for what to use it for?

    Hi!  I am sure the gurus of the forum will have very strong examples that will be useful to you but I thought I would get things started.  I used to highlight a ton but now I create a visual filter for each Bible book and create highlights in it for key words.  I can easily turn each one on/off depending on what I am doing.  I have one to show plural "you" so I can tell if the text means one person or more than one.  I have the Hebrew names of God in a visual filter so I immediately know which is behind the text. I have one that identifies which "Herod" is being referred to.  I have more but those are the ones I use most.  I hope others chime in for you! [:)]

    • Plural "You"
    • Inserted "You"  (inserted by the translation).
    • Signs of the End  (key phrases like "signs of the end" OR "nation? will rise" OR "hear of war?" OR "false christ?" OR earthquake? OR betray OR hat*ed OR abomination)
    • Lexicon Formatting  e.g. highlighting glosses with gloss:*, or NT references in an OT lexicon (one VF per lexicon)

    Those sound great.  Do you mind if I use those same ideas?  I think I got the plural "you" one (Plural Pronouns).  How do you do the Hebrew names of God?

    Here is the Hebrew names filter:

    You can take a copy and add to it as you need to.  And you'd have to create highlight styles since you don't already have mine [:)]

    Some of my favorites are:

    Repetitions and usage of words with theological themes easy to miss (especially in OT) such as:
    'Third day' or 'Three days'
    'Seven'
    'Rock'
    'East' or 'West'
    Preaching Theme: "Prophecy about Jesus"

    In addition to many shown above I have one for Greek and Hebrew Hapax Legomegon. I found a listing of all the lemmas that qualify and then pasted it into the VF. I think it was provided by someone in the Faithlife groups.

    Probably not OP desired, but for anyone else:

    - A visual filter for monographs, to highlight logical relations, and argument dependencies

    - A filter to colorize estimated mss dates and usefulness

    What is the basis of how visual filters work and how do I download them to my software? I have never used these before.

    Visual filters are a built in feature of Logos. See the following brief explainer video:
