To protect the logbook selection page, you put the "password file = <file>" into the [global] section or the [global <top group>] section. So "hide" the top group selection page, you put a "show top groups = 0" into the [global] section. |

Too many attributes will make the window so big that can not be hold in one screen which is the reason why I want to hide some of them. Of course the hidden attributes have data, but those data are rarely used so we'd rather hide them.
Since "show attributes" prevent from inputing attributes, may not be suitable in this case. We appreciate if you can impletement a new feature like "view attibutes" which do not affect adding new entry, just hide attributes at summary view. |
Use "list display = <attribute list>" to specify which attributes to show in the listing page. RTFM. |

I already had the "password file = <file>" in the [global <top group>] section but I was still able to see the logbooks in that section. Neither moving the password line to [global] nor setting Show Top Groups = 0 helped. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

I'll try to put this together in the next week or two. Thanks for all your help,

If you move the "password file = <file>" entry around, you can get fooled by stored cookies. So after each modification, make sure to delete all cookies in your browser. |

This didn't work, but after corresponding with Stefan privately, the following did:
[global]
Show Top Groups = 1
[global top_group]
Protect selection page = 1
Password file = papers.pwd
Thanks again, Stefan.

Thanks. "List display" is what we need.
But is there a way to control to hide or view the attributes? so that we don't need to change the elog.conf file each time.
For example, add a menu "expend" in "Find menu commands", we can click to view all the attributes or just view the attributes defined in "List Display"
Or use "{1} List Display = ....", we can view all the attributes at list page, but if selecting SunOS, only show attributes in List Display |

In that case I would suggest two separate logbooks, for for SunOS and one for others. This way you can manage two separate sets of attributes. |
