I would like to create a paper waste logbook. I need to have a column that 
shows a weight in pounds and another column with a calculation from those 
pounds to dollars.  pounds x $4.00 = cost  I was wondering if this was 
possible? 

All other fields would be just Date, Batch#, Operator, Reason, Process 
Operator, Manager, Lbs, and Cost,  I would also like to total this cost if 
possible, on a search selected basis. Similar to Excel.

Thanks for any input

Unfortunately not. But your request is on the wishlist since some time, I added
your vote.

Is there an option that elog creates one logfile for one entry in the
database? It seems that there elog is creating one logfile for one day.

No. One file per day was chosen in order to keep the number of files small.
For which purpose would you need such an option?

I want exchange the logs as files and not with the mirroring function. My 
collegue and me are already exchanging all our project files, so the logs from 
ELOG could be included in this exchange.

If you do not want to use the mirroring, then you can extract a single entry with
the "hidden" download command. Like for this entry:

Tell your browser to save the result locally and you have a file with just this
message. Note however that if you ship these files around, and combine them with an
existing logbook by copying them to the logbook directory, you could have two
entries with the same ID, in which case elogd would produce unpredictable results.

Hello,

Tried to use the copy to version, just to create a new copy of a old case in
the same logbook
(e.g, support logbook, user with an old problem, to copy it to a new entry)

What I want is to have the Entry time to be updated to the time it was
copyed, not the original entry time. Moved To should perhaps retain its
original time?

Somethings that is possible or a new feature that has to be implemented?


Thanks for this great software Stefan!

Best regards

You can achieve that by using "Edit", and then check "Resubmit as new entry",
then click "Submit".
