Wiki page on setup

MJ. Smith

Do we need a wiki page on setup/customize Logos? Activities that come to my mind are below - what would you add?

favorite Bible
favorite lectionary
home page ribbon entries
predefine search ranges
reading plans
collections
layouts
priority lists
hidden resources
customized guides
short cuts - internal and external
visual filters
highlighting palettes
favorites - internal and external
prayer lists
book abbreviations

Note: most of the items would link to the appropriate wiki page not duplicate it.

Seems we already have pages for most of these. Are these insufficient? Have you viewed them?

No, the pages are not insufficient. What I thought was missing was how they fit together to customize your application - that they are basic setup functions rather than everyday use functions.

Guess i am not seeing this the way you are.

For instance:

Shortcuts: this walks you thru setting up internal and external shortcuts

Creating Shortcuts

Then once you have your shortcuts built:
Opening a Shortcut
Deleting a Shortcut
Rearranging your Shortcuts
Popular Shortcuts of forum users

priority lists: This walks you thru setting up priorities
Prioritizing

Prioritizing Basics
What is Prioritizing?

How do I Prioritize books?

Which kind Prioritizing should I do?

How do I move a whole commentary series?

Prioritizing Advanced
Can I move a single book from a series into the prioritize pane?

How do I setup Advanced Prioritization Limits?

Example 1: customizing a priority of a commentary for specific books

Example 2: prioritizing a specific dictionary to a specific resource

This identifies which resources and how many to prioritize
A Sample Prioritized List

These Logos videos walk you thru how to do it and how to use it

Feature Video Library
Tutorial Video Library Basics
Tutorial Video Library Advanced Features
Feature Video Prioritizing Resources

Layouts: this takes you thru pretty much everything but reading your mind to know which resources and location/size that you want

Logos videos show you dynamically how to create layouts (videos show rearranging panels where static images don't work so well)

Feature Video Tabs
Tutorial Video Layouts
Tutorial Video Layouts Management

Exactly - you're looking at the trees. I'm asking if a forest is needed. But your response is informative and useful.

I do think we need that "forest," something which guides people through the initial setup to make Logos to work best for them. However, as we've all discovered, nobody is going to go through the entire setup process at the very beginning before getting down to work, or it would be weeks before they'd be ready to actually do anything in Logos. A lot of the "how do I want to set this up" decisions come after you've learned the power of some of the features. I'm still doing "setup" work (tagging things in my Library, making collections, making visual filters, etc.) after using the product for nearly a year.

MJ,

Perhaps if you could be more descriptive of what a forest is, then you could get others interested in adding these pages.
