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! |

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,

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!

Hello,
when using the summary view, the text field displays umlauts as HTML-charachters, for e. g. diesbezüglich.
Is there a chance that also this view displays umlauts as ä, ü, ö?
Thank you!

I fixed this in svn revision #1971. The fix will be contained in the next release. You can test it already in the demo logbook. |

Just another thing I would like to admit. We are often using the summary view. Sometimes the summary view shows the text like the following:
This is just a test
When using the Full view or clicking on the entry, those html-codes are not shown. Thanks again for the great software!
