For our application we have a lot of very common events we would like to log. It would be preferable that for certain events/entries we could setup a single button / quick entry method. Is there away to accomplish this?

This would be of value for me as well. I'm trying to develop a event log for a research ship. Thanks. -ben

There are several ways:
1) Use conditional attributes (see https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#conditional). If you have several standard entries, put the into the option list of a "type" attribute. Then depending on that value, you can pre-populate other attributes/options. This is then not a single-button solution, but a single-click plus one selection from a drop-down list solution which should be pretty close.
2) You can make a bookmark in your browser. Take the URL of the logbook, add "?cmd=New" and then for each attribute you can select a preset value using "&p<attribute>=<value>". So for example on the demo logbook you can use
https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/?cmd=New&ptype=Routine&pcategory=General&pauthor=Ellis
which opens the new entry dialog, and pre-set values for Type, Category and Author. Then you can make several bookmarks for different standard entries.
