Linking Resources

What is Linking ?

• Please watch Mark Barnes video Layouts
  and the Logos Feature video Bibles and Commentaries.
  
  
• Linking ties like resources together so that they track each other as one is moved.
  • if you have two Bibles open you can link them so that they will track each other.
  • you can link Dictionaries together, since they are indexed by words.
  • you can link Lexicons together as they also are indexed by words (Greek and/or Hebrew).
  • you can also link Lexicons together if they are both indexed by Strong’s Numbers.
    
    
• You can use a different link letter to link different resource types (e.g. use A for Bibles, use B for Lexicons).

How many resources can I link together?

• You can Link each resource that you have open. Remember they need to be like resources for them to track each other. So you could have 12 Bibles open and have them all linked together with the same Link letter.
  
  
• Logos provides six links denoted by letters A to F (see below)
  
  
  
  

How do I link resources?

1. Click on the icon in your resource.
   1. A drop down menu for the resource will appear. Notice the linking options.
      
      
      
      
2. Click on a link letter that you want to use.
   
   
   
   
3. After setting the link, notice the link letter appears next to your icon for that resource.
4. Now repeat steps 1 to 3 for another resource using the same link letter. (remember your resources need to be of the same type)

• See Examples for step-by-step details and other ideas.

How do I turn Off a Link on a single resource?

1. Click on the resource’s icon found in the upper left area of your resource’s window.
2. Click on None to the right of the Link letters.
   
   
   
   

• Notice that the link letter disappeared from the resource’s icon on the upper left of the window.

How do I clear all links?

1. Click on the resource’s icon found in the upper left area of your resource’s window.
2. When the window’s drop down menu appears, click on Clear all links.
   
   
   
   

• Notice that all link letters disappeared from all the resource’s icons in each window.

How can I save the way that my resources are linked?

• When you save your Layout (how all your windows/books are organized), it saves your resource linking. (this is the safest way)
  • See Layouts
    
    
• Logos will save your current Layout when you close it. Thus your resource linking is saved.
  • But if your computer crashes or Logos crashes, you might loose the way your resources were linked (if they were different that the last time you closed Logos).
  • So saving your Layout is a safe way to ensure that your resource linking and windows/resources layout is saved.
