Passage Guide
Apparently the passage guides that we run are being saved. This has caused some of us confusion because (as far as I can tell) there is no indication that our passage guides are being saved. When we want to run a new report, L4 first checks to see if we ran a report on the same verses. If so, it pulls up the old report.
Because I use different guides for different studies, this auto saving is very confusing because what I run a new report using the passage guide for a different study, what I expect to be in the new report is not in the guide, and what is in the new report guide should not be in there.
Here are my suggestions:
- provide a way for us to delete our old passage guide reports
- give us an option to turn this auto save feature off
- give us an on demand option to save the report
- when an old report is being used, provide some information stating that the report was created on 01/01/01.
- provide the same options for the exegetical and word study guides.

Tom,
You may want to be more specific on these steps
[quote] 1) provide a way for us to delete our old passage guide reports
There already is a way to delete a single saved guide (Delete in the guide's menu, per your other post). i'm guessing that you want to delete all saved guides? If so this would conflict with step 3. Not sure on your thought (so the Logos staff might be too) here.
[quote] 4) when an old report is being used, provide some information stating that the report was created on 01/01/01.
This already exists, but it's hidden under the title tool bar (as shown below). It would be nice to have a red icon or something showing in the main tool bar for the guide (just my thought here).
i'm not trying to resist your changes, just point out some things you might want to detail better in your list.

Thanks Steve again for your feedback

.I am not looking for a button to delete all of the saved passage guides at one time, but a way to pick and choose which saved passage guides to delete.

I have not noticed this date/time before. Then again, I bet a lot of people do not know that this time stamp is here because it is hidden. Something needs to come out and slap the user in his/her face. If they just open the passage guide with this panel open with this data/time stamp in a larger font and a different color would be fine with me.

you can delete guides individually.
Run a passage guide with only a "My Content" section. If you add anything else you'll lock up your computer
Run the guide with a range of "gen-rev". This will show you, among other things, all your saved guides.
If you want to delete a guide, open it.
in the resource menu for the guide, select "delete guide".
You can also export the list of My Content items into excel (with a bit of work) and sort everything according to its type (e.g. group notes, passage list, etc).
<EDIT> I take back that last sentence. You cannot export the mycontent section of a guide. :-( Bummer.

I've said it before and this seems like a good time to reiterate it...
ANYTHING not named should not auto save. Period.
If I care about it...then I name it....but this autosaving everything is irritating.

We at least need a good way of organizing these guides. I want to be able to sort it by the template it uses, whether or not I have added any notes, reference, name, etc. I can pull up a list of all the saved guides that use a given template but there needs to be a tool that does this.

Help a brother out here: I am not connecting with this. I had no clue PG's were "saved", if by saved you all are referring not to the general template, but the actual content that was pulled up. But even if they are saved, what is the problem? Would a PG run for, say, Rev 12:1-6 not always pull up the exact same material, save for newly added "my content" or notes added within it? Where is the problem (just clueless, help me! [:)]

Dan, take a look at this post. This is when I found out that passage guides are being saved: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/27453.aspx
The problem that I had came from the fact that I changed the template, and L4 kept bring up the saved passage guide, not using the new passage guide template.
