    Is there a way in the sermon manager to include the description in the export? So, because I cannot share my sermon manager with my staff, I have been exporting it as an excel sheet and sharing that with my staff. However, I usually write a little description of the sermon so that they get a better idea of which songs to pick...etc. However, if I write it in the sermon manager, I cannot export it, it isn't listed as an option on the drop down.

      While there currently isn't a way to export the text that's put in the "description" area, do you have any other available fields that you could utilize as a workaround? Basically, I'm recommending using a separate field for that purpose, and then once you have it in Excel, you could change the column title to a different wording of your choosing. Here are the options that could be exported and used. If you're not using one of those currently, that would be my advice for now. These can be seen and added from the menu within Sermon Builder that has the three vertical lines. Let me know if you have any other questions and thank you for writing in regarding this.

        I would like to re-highlight this suggested feature. Currently, to make this work, I need to go through a whole process. It would be super efficient just to be able to share something, even if it is just a link to view my sermon manager.

        It would be great if the sermon manager could be shared with the whole teaching team. This would be especially great even if there was just a view option, so those without Logos could still see the upcoming calendar. Or even an export option would be helpful to export as a csv file.

          Question: I created a new Sermon doc but it doesn't allow me to go to the Preach mode. That icon is greyed out. This sermon doc also doesn't show up in sermon manager. Wondering what I might be doing wrong. Has anyone else experienced this?

          2. Jehu Hernandez 13 days ago

            First of all, I was mistaken about one thing. The sermon does show up in the Sermon Manager but it still won't let me click on the Preach icon. To answer your question, I click on Tools, then Sermon builder to get started.

          3. Jehu Hernandez 10 days ago

            It turns out it was a synchronization issue. I called support and they resolved it for me.

          While in Dark mode if you copy a chart straight to a slide or export it to Powerpoint (as the attached image shows), it reverts the background color to white but keeps the text colors. I would prefer it keep the original background color OR make it a transparent background. Thanks.

            Question...Running Mac OS 12.0.1 and Logos Bible Software 9.8 SR-1 9.8.0.0008. When I am typing in a Sermon Document every time I hit the "F" key my Logos goes to full screen. Next time I hit the "F" key it goes back to normal. It disrupts my typing and I have not had this in the past and have no shortcuts set up that I'm aware of to cause this to happen. Any help???

              Hi Brad, I think that Gregory Lawhorn's post here https://community.logos.com/forums/p/201886/1174187.aspx#1174187 seems relevant to this problem, and provides a workaround. Also https://community.logos.com/forums/t/203496.aspx https://community.logos.com/forums/t/203466.aspx Hopefully this will help you.

            My version of Logos is 9.8 SR-1, and for about a month it will not complete a single cycle of indexing. It will run all day and/or all night and never get past around 50% complete, and then the indexer icon disappears and goes no further, though upon restarting Logos it indicates it's still running the indexer. Currently it's been running for about 10 hours today and is only at 36%. I can leave it running the rest of the night and get up tomorrow to find the icon gone and have it start all over again at 0% if I close and open Logos. I have tried manually starting various types of indexing. I have exited and restarted Logos. I have rebooted my computer. I have adjusted my computer's memory. I have cleaned every cache I can find on my computer. I have deleted the index file and started it again. Even if I add resources, it has the same results. All of this I have tried many times over the last month to no avail. I have no idea what caused it because up until some particular day about a month ago it was fine. Any suggestions or comments?

              I would ensure diagnostic logging is enabled and submit logs showing what is going on - details at https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027869132-How-to-Enable-and-Submit-Log-Files. Hopefully the indexer.log file will provide some information about what is happening

              I really appreciate this help, Graham Criddle, especially the link, as I have never submitted a log file before. Hopefully, the support team can help. Blessings!

            In LOGOS 9, when preparing my sermon and creating slides, is there a way to do "Fade in Text" when creating bullet point slides? This is a function in Proclaim, but I can't find a similar one in LOGOS 9.

            1. Graham Criddle a month ago

              No - this is not possible in the sermon builder

            2. Austin Bush a month ago

              Scott, There's not a current way. However, our team is looking at more ways in the future to make the experience between Sermon Builder and Proclaim more consistent. Thank you for writing in regarding this.

            3. Austin Bush a month ago

              Scott, We did a big more digging on this, and while there's not a way to do it just like you can in Proclaim, there is a way to add progressive text in the slide media tool within Logos 9. It's definitely not a true "fade in" action but it will create a new slide with just the next text added to the following slide in addition to what was on the previous slide. Please see the attachment. But essentially, if you add the "++" at the beginning of the line, it will perform this action. Perhaps this will be of some benefit for now, but as I said earlier, we will continue to explore ways to make the Sermon Builder and Proclaim experience more consistent.
