Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the great work. We have been using elog for a year as inventory management.

[quote="Juliana Peng"]I may have all the attributes in logbook to keep a full record of all the machine. But for daily use, some of the attibutes we are
not using so often. 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.

But you can partly obtain what you want by having two logbooks. Make one logbook which has fewer attributes, and which will receive all SunOS entries.
