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,

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! |

 | Dennis Seitz | dseitz@berkeley.edu | Question | All | | Summary view: View only most recent entry for all values of a given attribute? |
We are using Elog to track status of hardware assemblies. One attribute we've created is the serial number of an assembly. Other attributes are items like "location" and "status". We have set up these latter attributes with presets to make entry easy and keep entries consistent.
I would like to filter the summary view so it only shows me the most recent entry for every value in the serial number attribute. This would be very useful for quickly viewing the present status and location of every assembly, for example.
I can't find a way to do this in the documentation. Is it possible? If not, may I submit a request for this feature?
I am very impressed with the Elog and it has become an essential part of our record keeping. Thank you for a very useful and well implemented application! |

it's a pity... |
Ok, I implemented the XML import which also includes the text body. However there are currently two limitations:
- If you want to import entries which contain replies, it only works if import them into an empty logbook, where the imported entries can obtain the same entry IDs as in the original logbook.
- The names of possible attachments are correctly imported, but not the files themselves. These you have to copy by hand.

| Alan Stone wrote: | | I would also like the option to add additional email addresses on the fly. |
There is a simple way to accomplish this. Define a new attribute, let's call it "cc". Then add to your config file following statement:
Email all = $cc
In you entry form, you can now enter comma-separated email addresses in the CC filed, to which a notification will be sent. |

The location of top.html has been changed from the ELOG root down into the loogbook directory. If you want to keep it in the original location, you have to specify the full path. See the documentation for where to put the file for "Top text". |
