Is there a way to look at the resource information and be able to tell whether a particular resource is tagged for the Ancient Literature tool in the Passage Guide? At the moment I'm wondering about the "Ancient Egyptian Literature" multi-volume set, ed. by Lichtheim. It's not in the Rick Brannan post a couple of months ago, but maybe it's in the works . . . ?
If there's some identifier that I could incorporate into a rule, I'm also thinking I might want to create a Collection for resources that I might consider "ancient literature" but that aren't yet tagged for the Passage Guide tool, something like "mytag:AncientLiterature ANDNOT [????]" Is this possible?
Love this tool! And quite a few other new Logos 6 features that have automated and put on steroids what I used to try to figure out how to do manually myself. Great enhancements for the "academic" user.

Hi Mary-Ellen,
Here is what I have done:
I tagged my library with all resources I deem to be "ancient texts" as "ancient"
I then used the list provided by Rick and tagged those resources "ancientlit"
I then created a collection with the following rule: mytag:ancient ANDNOT mytag:ancientlit
I had an ancient literature collection already so it wasn't hard to retag the ones included in the ancient literature section of the PG.
Here is Rick's list if it helps:
I hope this gets you started.
Thank you, John -- and great to see that you continue to master the software and share your findings -- wishing the riches of Advent to you and yours!

Hi Mary-Ellen.

At present, Lichtheim's work is not referenced within the Ancient Literature dataset. The Ancient Literature material is currently constrained by needing to refer to items that are indexed by work-specific data types, and Lichtheim's work is not indexed in this manner.
Thanks for your encouragement about this tool! In the future we may be able to include items like Lichtheim's, but we have no time frame for such enhancements.
