Identifying "type" of Personal Book
I have been delighted creating a number of personal books this afternoon as I've been introduced to a new world.
I have a question about identifying the type of personal book. For instance I have created a PB for the Wycliffe Bible and identified it as type:Bible but when I call up my collection of bibles that is sorted by type:Bible this book does not appear in the collection as well as a few others I have done. I've checked this for accuracy many times and can't figure out why it doesn't work. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

No. A screenshot of your collection, or a copy of its rule would help.
I see the ASV and the SENT Bible (the latter made under L5, the former in February in L4) under type "Bible" in my library

You have to set the type before you compile the book. If you do it afterwards, it won't work.
If you did do it before, can I ask what Type is it set to?

That is exactly what I did. I realized that I forgot to choose the type and went back and chose it again. I thought it would apply so I restarted Logos but it didn't work.
Actually I just left the default on when I first created the book so the default was monograph. Is there any way to correct this? Will I have to actually delete it and then create it again?

By the way the collection is simply type:Bible

Okay, since Mark said I did it incorrectly I deleted the Bible and then added it again, this time identifying it as type: Bible. Unfortunately it still doesn't show up in my collection of bibles that is identified as type: Bible.

Just rebuild the book.

maybe the indexer takes its time. I just compile a sermon file document as tape bible, just for curiosity. after quick indexing it showed up in my library, but I asssume that buzilding and indexing is a bit longer in case of a "real" bible.

I have now waited long enough that the book should have indexed but it still is not seeing the type:Bible in my collection - Frustrating! I wonder if this is a bug or at least it is a weakness of L5. I think someone should be able to change the type after it is created.

The type will probably with some resources make the compiler do different things, so not being able to change it may be purposeful (it has requested for Logos resources in the past).
Maybe you could post screenshots of what you're seeing, the PB compiler log etc. How does your resource show up in the library, what's its information page? Do you use a self-built document or one from the files forum?
As I said, I compiled an arbitrary doicument as well as the SENT bible in L5 without any issues (see http://community.logos.com/forums/t/58928.aspx for the file) both show up:

Okay, it works now. I guess that it just took a long time to index the whole Bible. Thanks for your help.
