Well, I am not sure what is going on ...

So I just updated to 7.14.0.0024 and it says that Atlas is only available online. I did have an Atlas tool that worked in the past, but now that is "grayed out". Do I need Verbum Now to use Atlas under the new release?

Daniel Radke

I just upgraded to 7.14.0.0024 on my Mac and now the the Atlas icon is no longer displayed under Tools in Logos. I must admit I rarely used this tool, but I do not understand why I now lost access to a tool that I previously owned. If the new Atlas tool must be used online only, can there be at least a link to it within Logos?

I find that you can click on 'Atlas' even if is greyed out. It opens up a window with a more information plus a video ...

Yasmin,

Thanks, that seems to be a video of the Atlas tool when it was active under the software on your computer, i.e., the old help video. The new tool seems to be different and also only seems to be available online - and not working either.

Yasmin Stephen

And I'm not seeing any maps at all [:^)]

Yasmin Stephen

And I'm not seeing any maps at all

Not even in the web app am I seeing any maps [*-)]

Bobby Bosler

I also have lost all access to the Atlas tool in my tools menu. It is not grayed out; it isn't even there. I am online, but have a slow connection.

MikeG53

And I don't want to jump the gun here, but if this enhancement/update to the Atlas tool is going to require us to switch back and forth between desktop software and the Web App or even "Verbum/Logos Now" I would not consider that much of an upgrade. It seems that changes such as this will slowly force us to shift from a PC or Mac based package to an online version or a subscription version. And after spending thousands on a PC/Mac package, I wouldn't want to have to start paying for resources I previously had already paid for.

Or maybe it's just a glitch in the update!

Are you on a Mac? Daniel also said he's not seeing it at all and he's on a Mac so I'm wondering if it removed totally for the Mac people.

The maps need to index and this has to be done online. If your internet is slow it could take a little bit of time to show up.

Daniel,

You should not have lost access, there is some indexing work that needs to be done while online so that it can work. This can take longer depending on your internet connection and speed.

This feature it available on macOS and Windows, as mentioned earlier it might take a few mintues depending on your internet connection to show up.

Thanks for the quick reply, but is there any indicator of this "background indexing" that is going on? I have no indication that anything is happening in my UI.

Randy W. Sims

I get the same message I saw during beta:"We couldn't connect to the internet. Please check your connection and reopen Atlas." Indexing or whatever cause, it should display something useful and correct so it doesn't look broken.

Hi Bobby,

I'm sorry, this is actually a different issue than I first thought. There is an issue with with an internal server that we are getting fixed. We'll get it up and running soon.

Philana R. Crouch

Everyone,

Thank you for your patience, the Atlas Tool should be working properly now.

Simon’s Brother

The maps need to index and this has to be done online. If your internet is slow it could take a little bit of time to show up.

If the indexing is done online, why does each individual user have to index online? Why are they not prepared earlier so that each user simply has to download the indexed file? And if there is a reason you have to absolutely do this why not post an aprropriate message in the interface and also the release notes to reassure users the software is not broken but behaving as expected? One would think by now FL after all the software releases they have done that transperancy and clarity i.e. communication with users is an important part of the process. Maybe I expect to much but I really don’t think it’s too much.

Philana R. Crouch

Because it has to be stored locally for each user. Like I said the issue everyone was seeing was a seperate one, which is now fixed.

Darrell

I opened Logos with holding the control key while it booted making it start up with out the Internet. Then shut it down and restart as normal allowing it to use the Internet, the Atlas started working again. You might try doing this also,,

DOC,

If we had been aware that there was an issue we would have alerted users. At the time of shipping we did not know it was broken. We fixed it as soon as we were aware of the issue.

Though I'm now seeing the maps in the web app, in the desktop app the Atlas tool is still greyed out and when I click through I don't see any maps:

Or is this what I'm supposed to see? I'm confused ...

(Edited to add: I have restarted the app)

Daniel Radke

Everyone,

Unfortunately, the Atlas tool is still missing for me. I have downloaded all of the available updates and waited for visible indexing to be completed. I have restarted Logos a few times. Still missing.

Yasmin and Daniel,

I think there is a separate issue going on. I've asked CS to reach out to help troubleshoot further.

Thanks Philana; I'll wait to hear from them.

Thanks for working to get this fixed! I look forward to using the new Atlas tool.

Leo Wee Fah

I am getting just this... can't get anything out of Atlas Tool [:'(]

Joseph Turner

I am also only seeing the video as in Leo's post.

Mattillo

Same here... only getting the video. When I hover over atlas it says unavailable. Internet is connected and working

Matthew Sheridan

UPDATE: Now working in Logos desktop app and web app. Thanks for the quick fix :-)

ORIGINAL POST: I'm also experiencing the 'greyed out' 'feature unavailable' atlas icon in Logos 7 on windows since updating to 7.14.

When I go to the atlas feature on the web app, the atlas tab opens but nothing loads inside the tab.

I'm a Logos Now subscriber - I'm wondering if the issue might have something to do with permission settings tied to the change over to faithlife connect? Just an idea.

Leo Wee Fah

At last the Atlas Tool is working fine, thanks FL.

Yasmin Stephen

It's now working for me as well. Thanks [Y]

Disappointed with the speed of the new atlas. Used to be able to go make myself a cup of coffee while the map loaded. No such luxury this time. [:P]

Dave Gifford

Good morning

SO far as of this morning it is not working. Would you mind looking into it?
Dave

Dave Gifford

it literally started working when i hit send!

Thanks it looks nice

Steve Maling

It's working well for me. I'm very pleased. Thank you all!

Mike Tourangeau

Still not for me......I don't need it right now, so I will leave it, but I hope it starts working eventually

Reuben Pitts

I do not have the Beta, but have noticed comments about hardware on this thread. I have a Lenovo laptop with an Intel HD Graphics 520 and an NVIDIA GeForce 930M attached to a Lenovo Thinkpad USB 3.0 Ultra Dock. Can I expect my Atlas to work when you release your next version? I am teaching through 2 Samuel this summer and really need the maps. They worked on this machine until earlier this year, so you must have done something. I have been with Logos since version 1b and don't remember something like this.

Reuben Pitts

I have downloaded 7.17, have restarted Logos several times, Have rebooted my machine twice. Atlas still does not work. Are you working to fix this?
