Thanks again for your help!

Thank you for the fix and the quick solution!

Uwe

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.

I found that this is indeed an Internet Explorer bug, since it works with all other browsers I tested. There is however a
workaround: I added some code to the current version of elog which shows a "Search" button whenever the page is accessed
through the Internet Explorer. Then the behavior of hitting <return> works again. The change is in revision #1970 and will
be contained in the next release.

Hello,

I installed the latest version (2.7) of ELOG and having the problem that the quick filter only works when hitting the 
enter-key when there is only one free text field (subtext). Whene having two or more free text field you have to use 
the tab-key or click onto the elog icon. We are using Internet Explorer, not tested on Mozilla right now.

Thanks!

Uwe

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!

Uwe

Stefan,

Thanks for this, I had already implemented the Preset Ticket Nr = TT-##### but I didnt use the threaded and Select to close the ticket, very nice tip thanks. I think this program can be have several uses, and working very well. The trouble ticketing will work for us.

Once again thanks for the very speedy support.

Lance

First of all, ELOG has been designed having shift logbooks in mind, so it probably will never be a perfect trouble ticket system. Nevertheless, there are some options which can help in that respect:

• Use attributes Ticket and Status
• Preset Ticket with a running ticket number via
  
  Preset ticket = TCK-#####
  

  This will increment the 5-digit ticket number whenever you create a new ticket, but will not update it when you do a reply

• Use Status to determine the status of the whole trouble ticket chain (initial entry plus replies)

  Options Status = open, closed
  Preset Status = open

• Once a ticked chain is closed, do the following:

  • Go to the threaded list display
  • Click on Select
  • Select the trouble ticket chain
  • Click on Edit
  • Now change Status from "Open" to "Closed"

This will then modify the Status of the whole chain from "Open" to "Closed"
