Prioritize Multiple Books at Once
July 26, 2011 at 4:16 PM
In our Logos Library we have a lot of Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, and so on. Within all of these books, however, we have our favorites: favorite Bibles, favorite commentaries, favorite dictionaries, and the like. Within Logos, we call these favorites our “prioritized” or “preferred” books. Logos places these prioritized books at the top of various lists on the Passage Guide, Exegetical Guide, etc. Here’s one way to prioritize and use preferred books:
- Open the Library
- Click Prioritize in the upper right corner of the Library
- Place this text in the Library’s Find box: type:Bible
- Logos displays all of your Bibles
- Right click on the title of a Bible
- Select Prioritize this resource
- Logos places this Bible in your preferred list of resources on the right
- Repeat these steps for additional Bibles
To see these prioritized Bibles in action:
- Type a biblical reference in the passage box on the Home Page
- Click Go
- Logos open the default Home Page Bible study screen which includes your first 5 prioritized Bibles
Prioritize additional books like commentaries which show up in the Passage Guide and Hebrew / Greek dictionaries which appear in the Exegetical Guide.
As you can see and perhaps have already discovered with your own use of Logos, prioritizing books is not difficult; it’s just tedious. Here’s the shortcut I really want to show you: prioritize multiple books at the same time!
- Open the Library
- Click Prioritize in the upper right corner of the Library
- Place your text in the Library’s Find box like type:Bible OR type:lexicon
- Hold down the Ctrl (or Cmd) key on the keyboard
- Select (click) a book in the Library’s list, but don’t click the tile of the book which opens it
- Select another book with the Ctrl (or Cmd) key still pressed
- Notice that both books are now selected
- Continue this process until you’ve selected all the books you want to prioritize
- Release the Ctrl (or Cmd) key
- Right click on any of the selected resources
- Select Prioritize this resource
Logos places ALL of the selected books in your preferred list on the right!
