!! What is a Reading Plan?

!!!! Overview

 A /Reading Plan/ is a tool of Logos which allows you to setup the reading of a Bible or book in a specified time period, and aids you in tracking your progress. You can setup as many reading plans as you like. This wiki page will provide the basic information in setting up a reading plan and using the reading plan. Notethat[[the/Chapter/ Reading Plan >> # Starting a Chapter Reading Plan]] is the leastflexible,whilstyoushouldusethe[[Reading Plans]] wikifor specific customreadingplans.

 In a /Reading Plan/ you can read a whole book or a part of a book, and you can choose which days of the week to read the book e.g. daily, every weekday, or on set days; which means you could have another Plan for the remaining days of the week.

 Whilst there is a great deal of flexibility in setting up your reading plan(s), you still might find some limitations e.g. the way that Logos will try to divide your reading across the time frame that you specify may not be the way that you wanted to read the book.

 

!!!! Selecting the portion of the book to read

Logos provides a method for breaking up what you read in a bookorBible. If you are setting up a plan for a Bible, then you can break it down by Bible book/chapter/verse, and you canalso specify that it will be /read/ by chapter or pericope,oracceptthe/default/, whereLogostries to divide your reading into equal parts over the time period that you specifye.g.byselectingpartsofchapters/pericopes.

 Exceptforthe/Chapter/ReadingPlan,Logos provides a method for breaking up what you read in a book. If you are setting up a plan for a Bible, then you can break it down by Bible book/chapter/verse, andthe/Flexible/ReadingPlanallowsyou to specify that it will be /read/ by chapter or pericope.Otherwise, Logoswilltry to divide your reading into equal parts over the time period that you specify.

 Whenbreakinganon-BibleintopartsobviouslyyoucannotdothislikeaBible.ButifLogoshasyourbook/indexed/ by page number, you can specify which pages that you want to read. So if you want to read a multi-chapter section of a Systematic Theology book, you could specify which page number to start with and which page number to stop with. Or you could let Logos handle this as a [[/Chapter/readingplan>>#StartingaChapterReading Plan]].

 Ifyour non-biblebookis /indexed/ by page number, you can specify which pages that you want to read. So if you want to read a multi-chapter section of a Systematic Theology book, you could specify which page number to start with and which page number to stop with. Or you could let Logos handle this as a /Chapter/ Reading Plan.
