I don't know if that is what you want, but have you tried clicking on the column headings in the summary view to sort the table according to that attribute:

Rather than simply sorting, I would like to actually reduce the number of entries listed to show only the most recent entry for each serial number. In this way, I can see at a glance what the present status of each serial number is. This is similar to Quick Filters but would be a "Most Recent" filter that could be applied conditionally, for example: "Most Recent" -> "By Serial".
Here is the display now:
Here is what I'd like to have the option to view (I used a graphic editor to fake it):
It would also be nice to have the option to then sort the resultant view, for example, to group together all serial numbers that have the same status.
Is this a little clearer? It's just a suggestion - this is not terribly important, but if it were possible I think it would be useful.
Thanks! |

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | All | | Re: Summary view: View only most recent entry for all values of a given attribute? | Ok, now I understand. Well, your request is very special for your case. Usually I implement things only if several independent people ask for it. What you can try is to save your logbook in CSV format, import it into Excel or another spreadsheet program, and achieve the filtering there.
Best regards,
Stefan |

OK, I've done that before and it works fine. I'd rather be able to do it in Elog but I understand if it's not worth the effort. It never hurts to ask!
Cheers,

 | Mark Bergman | mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu | Question | Linux | V2.6.5-186 | how to supress checkboxes of all logbooks at registration? | Is there a way to suppress the listing of all logbooks on the New User Registration page? We've got 100 logbooks (one for each server, cluster node, or major software package). The long list makes it difficult for users to find the bottom of the registration page, and no user needs to subscribe for automatic e-mail notification for every logbook.
Thanks,
Mark |

| Mark Bergman | mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu | Question | Linux | V2.6.5 | config settings to ensure replies to author, thread contributors, admin? | I'm having some difficulty configuring elog to ensure that the original author of an entry, any contributors to the thread, and a desginated administrator get e-mail notification for any change to the thread.
Here's a subset of the current elogd.cfg:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Severity, Subject, Entry ID, Status, CC E-mail To
Display Email recipients = 1
Email All = $CC E-mail To
Email All = mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu
Email Format = 47
Suppress default = 0
Type CC E-mail To = museremail
The "Suppress default = 0" setting is used because many people mistakenly subscribe for automatic e-mail notification of all our logbooks when they self-register. I was hoping that the "Email All" directives would override the suppression of default mail.
This configuration works partially...in that if a user specifically selects addresses in the "CC E-mail To" field, those people do get mail.
The documentation states that there can be multiple "Email All" directives, so I thought they would be additive--causing the admin address and the author to always get mail.
Is there a setting to ensure that the original author of the thread is always notified upon any change?
Thanks,
Mark |

There can be multiple "Email All" directives, but they have to be on one line, like
Email All = $CC E-mail To, mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu

You can do something like:
Attributes = ..., Author Email
Preset Author Email = $user_email
Email All = $Author Email, $CC E-mail to, mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu
...
An alternative (and that's what I usually do) is to keep "Suppress email to users = 0" and tell the users to remove their subscription if they don't like it. Note that you also can edit the password file manually (it's a XML file), and remove all subscriptions easily with an editor. Note that you have to do that when elogd is stopped, then edit the file, then restart elgod.

No, this is currently not possible. But I wonder why you have so many logbooks. Instead of having an individual logbook for every server, you could have the server name as an attribute of a single logbook:
Attributes = Author, ..., Server
Options Server = server1, server2, ...
Quick filter = Server
...
Using the quick filter, you can select the subset of logbook entries belonging to one server very easily. In general it will make your life much easier if you have less logbooks.
