# This is the configuration file for eLog #
# After changing this file you must re-start the elog daemon by, as root, running: #
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/elogd restart #
# The command also recognises "start" and "stop" options #
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
# Standards
# ---------
# Please follow the implied standards in this configuration file
# Especially:
# Separate logs clearly
# Start each log with the 'global' items for the log (menu lists, security etc)
# List all attributes before defining them
# Define all attributes (even those with a blank definition) in the order in which they appear
# in the main form - it makes it much easier to navigate

# Amendment History
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Date Who What
# 21/01/2008 SW New RFC form for Change Management
# 25/01/2008 SW New Bid Management form for MS
# 20/02/2008 SW Amended Change Management after review
# 03/03/2008 SW Changes SMTP relay server from x to y
# 08/04/2008 SW Change Log - updated and simlified
# 29/04/2008 SW Change Log - added Downtime Required and Downtime Comments fields to Section A
# - added Status Comments field to Section B
# 27/06/2008 SW Removed Standard Change from Change Log Change Type
# 13/08/2008 SW Change Log - added Time field to Proposed Target Date
# Now sends email to x@y when RFC created
# (but not when one is edited - needed to create Change Manager
# field which is displayed below contacts to implement this)
# 13/11/2008 SW Change Log - Added Hardware/Software field for Rob Walker
#
# NB: Interesting bug found - attribute (field) names containing
# special characters (e.g. / or :) cause elog to fail to deliver and the
# browser gets a:
# "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded"
# message and the URL is messed up
# Will report this to Stefan Ritt, the developer.
