As a variant of what Stefan has suggested:

Perhaps a simple comment is set up as the pre-loaded reply - perhaps including date and time.  Maybe include the author's name in the comment, but all that is available anyway (see documentation for that).  This bit isn't vital.

Then each user simply has to *reply* to the message concerned, and you then get the list of who has read it, available in threaded view of the comment and replies.

Of course this works best with small numbers of users, and where threads are never very long.  Also, it means that you can lock the original message (prevent it being edited) which may be a particular concern depending on what you are using elog for.

You might also want to define an attribute that a reader can tick to say that they have taken action if it is important that someone has to take further action (as opposed to just reading) - and maybe that changes the colour of the background or the icon in front of the topic.  Then there would be a record as to who has done the necessary, and later readers will know the matter is for information rather than needing attention.   For example,. who kicked the power supply to the ion source on Monday morning to "wake it up" (this is true, but pre-elog, so was a paper record).  John kicked it last Monday, and the power supply respects John, may be a statistic one could find from such information recorded as suggested here.

You may want a second attribute people have to explicity select so as to show they understand what they've read, rather than just reply/submit without having read... e.g. they have to select a digit of the ticket number, or some auto-generated number (or letter, I'm not characterist) that is within the original comment.

We all know people who click on things they've never read, and come on, we've all done it at times...

Unfortunately a read confirmation is not foreseen in the Elog system. You would have to define one attribute for each shift worker, like "John has read", "Steve has read" and so on. Then each of the shift workes has to "Edit" each message an check his/her checkmark manually.

Hello.

Today I wanted to download latest elog version, and got information from Eset Endpoint Antyvirus, that downloaded file has trojan horse "Generic.GQWFFXB".

Hi Daniel,

you're the first one reporting about this virus. We have different virus checkers here at our lab and none of them triggered. So I guess it is a false alarm.

Best,

Stefan

icon4.gif   elogd service crashes after windows update, posted by Tom Roberts on Fri May 18 00:57:33 2018 

We have been using elog on Windows 10 for a long time. Today, after a Windows update, the elogd service started crashing (error 1067, unexpected termination). It ran fine just before the Windows update (which took > 1 hour, so it was a major one). Uninstalling and re-installing did not help, including replacing my elogd.cfg with the default. Installing on another PC (that also has this update) fails in the same way. I have a good backup of my logbook.

Any suggestions?

I'm using that page to upload employee schedule in elog, and i copy-paste the schedule from excel table with color into the page.

The only browser that allow me to do above activity was only Microsoft Edge, it can keep the excel rich color table smooth and stayed with the color when i paste it.

If i'm doing above activity using different browser such as Firefox or chrome , everytime i paste the color rich excel table , the color always missing and only the text that pasted on the page.

But recently i update my Windows 10 and the Microsoft Edge browser also updated, and since that i the microsoft edge browser cannot read the "preset-text" template anymore and the page just blank.

Can you help

 

Thank you and regards


 

icon5.gif   Interfaced with SSO, posted by Patricia Mendez Lorenzo on Fri Mar 22 09:53:39 2019 

Dear Supporters,

 

I am evaluating the elog software as lobgook for high energy pgysics and I was just wondering the interface with SSO from the login point of view. Once euthenticated with SSO, can this authentication be also recognized by elog?

 

Thank you so much

Best Regards,

PAtricia

    icon2.gif   Re: Interfaced with SSO, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Mar 22 11:52:46 2019 

ELOG understands kerberos authentication (See https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#access).

If your SSO works with kerberos, then your SSO user name and password can be used to sign in to ELOG. But I'm not sure if that is what you are asking for...

Cheers, Andreas

icon5.gif   field selections persist across new log entries?, posted by Anthony Krishock on Tue Sep 8 14:22:11 2020 

All,

 

I am using elog as an observation log for amateur astronomy. I have a form configured, but I would like to know if it is possible to make certain fields persist across new entries.

What I mean is this:

When I make an new observation, I select a value for sky conditions (say.. "1"). When I make another observation, "1" is already selected.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks
