I am trying to schedule some living books along side my spine (Child’s History of the World ~ CHOW). The Spine is organized by chapters but I can’t get the Living books to “line” up with the chapters.
Right now I keep getting this lengthy list of books to “use with CHOW” (I didn’t put them in to use after CHOW because then they don’t show up until we are done with CHOW!) but I don’t want them to show up on the daily assignments until we reach the corresponding chapters.
Is there a way to be more specific and avoid this daily lengthy list (and ink 🙂 ) by specifying , for example, I enter “Joan of Arc” and “Use after/with chapter 38 of CHOW”?

Currently, the Use With and Start After features are set up for resources, not individual chapters within the resources. Here are a couple of ideas that I have used to make the situation you described work.
1. You can split up your spine into the segments that you want to use and schedule them as separate entries. For example, you could schedule CHOW and designate your chapter range for 1-38. Then schedule Joan of Arc to Start After that CHOW entry. Then schedule CHOW and designate your next chapter range, for example 39-48, and schedule your next extra book to Start After that CHOW entry. It takes a little longer, but the Organizer will think that each of those CHOW entries is a separate resource and you can use the Start After feature to get all the books in queue in the exact order you want.
2. The quicker way, but not so exact, is to schedule CHOW as one whole resource and schedule your first extra book to Use With CHOW. Then each additional extra book can be scheduled to Start After that first extra book. So if Joan of Arc is the first one you will use, schedule it to Use With CHOW then set up a chain, as it were, of extra books, each starting after the one in front of it. In that way only one extra book will be displaying at a time along with your spine.
Maybe others have additional ideas. Those are the two that have worked well for me.

I just started with the Organizer and I think I have this same question. I am wanting to put in the books I plan to use with Gen-Deut/Ancient Egypt and would like to be able to “start with” a particular lesson. Same goes for 106 Days… I’d like to schedule the resources to correspond with particular lessons in the spine book. Is this a feature that is on the wish list or in the works? If not, can it be?

On the wish list, yep.
