Collections based on Denomination​?

When I look at a passage in Factbook, the Commentaries section allows me to Group by Denomination. Is there a way to create a Collection based on Denomination? Obviously, the data is there since it's available in Factbook, but I can't figure out how to access it when building a Collection. Can someone show me the syntax for this? If it's not available for end-users, I'll submit a feature request.

I've built Collections for commentary types (Application, Devotional, Exegetical, etc.) based on community tags, and they come in handy. I think having Collections based onf Denominations would also be useful. (I realize having too many of these can slow down Logos startup.)

    I could not find a Public/Group collection satisfying that criteria (in Documents menu). So:

    • right-click a commentary in Factbook (or Passage Guide)
    • it might reflect a Title or a Series name
    • paste a Series into the Start... box of the appropriate Collection
      • prefix with series: and adjust as necessary
      • e.g. PNTC • Matthew 9:1–8  ==>  series:PNTC  ===> series:Pillar
    • paste a Title into the Library Find box and drag the title from Library to the Plus... box of the collection.

    I can elaborate, as I am pressed for time at the moment. The assumption is that all books of a series have the same denomination. If not so, paste the series name into the Library Find box, convert to a series: name as per the above example (series:PNTC  ==> series:Pillar) and drag the appropriate Title from Library to the Collection.

    Have you checked Andrew Baguley's spreadsheet? He has done most of this work already. Here's his latest update of it.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    The post with Rosie's response in another thread is what prompted this question. I'd guess I'm not the only one who'd be interested in this capability. I've added added a request for this feature; please vote for it.
