Reading Plan (Basics)

!!!! 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 (or number of sessions), 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. The [[/Chapter/ Reading Plan >> # Starting a Chapter Reading Plan]] and the [[/Flexible/ Reading Plan >> # Starting a Flexible Reading Plan]] are the main /ty (…)

 In a /Flexible/ 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 it offers a great deal of flexibility, you might find that Logos will divide your readings across the specified time frame in a way that you did not want. So you should consider the [[Plan with /customizable/ sessions>> # A Reading Plan with Customizable Sessions]] as it allows a variable number of readings frommultiplebooksin a session.

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

 Except for the /Chapter/ Reading Plan, 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, and the /Flexible/ Reading Planallowsyoutospecifythatitwillbe/read/bychapterorpericope.Otherwise,Logoswill try to divide your reading into equal parts over the timeperiodthatyouspecify.

 If your non-bible book is /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.

 

!!!! Setting up a Reading Plan

 Logos provides a Reading Plan /editor/. You will use this when setting up your reading plan, and you can make further changes until you commence reading. After that, Logos will /restart/ your Plan. So it is best to complete editing before you actually start your reading.

!!! Manually Adding Readings & Sessions

This affords the greatest flexibility as you can create sessions, or *add* readings to existing sessions without restriction i.e. you can have sessions with a variable number of readings.

You can add readings via *Drop a shortcut here*, *Choose an open resource* and *type in a reference*. If you type a reference, the /preferred/ resource will be used for the readings. The others can use a specific resource for the readings.
