ELOG Electronic Logbook Help

The Electronic Logbook (ELog) can be used to store and retrieve messages through a Web interface. Depending on the configuration, the ELog system can host one or more logbooks which are stored in separate sections on the server.

Quick overview

Per default, the last entry in a logbook is displayed. One can use the browse buttons to display the first, previous, next and last message.

If one of the checkboxes next to one of the attribute fields is checked, only messages of that attribute are displayed with the browse buttons. This can be used as a quick filter to display only pages from a certain author or category.

The New button creates a new entry. With the Edit button one can edit an existing message, if this is allowed in the configuration file. The Reply button creates a reply to an existing message, similar like a reply to an email.

The Find button opens a query page, where messages from a logbook can be displayed based on filter rules. Each non-empty field works like an additional filter, which is and-ed with the other rules. If no filter is selected, all messages from a logbook are displayed. The Last day and Last 10 buttons display all messages from the last 24 hours and the last ten messages, respectively.
