How to make a table of contents, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Apr 27 14:06:34 2007
|
For those people who have not fully understood the discussion of elog:2218, here is an example table of contents.
First Chapter
The table of contents consists of a set of [url] tags like this:
[url=#first]First chapter[/url]
[url=#second]Second chapter[/url]
[url=#thirs]Third chapter[/url]
Then the chapter header contains a tag like this:
[ANCHOR]first[/ANCHOR]
to which the browser ups if you click the corresponding entry in the table of contents.
... empty lines to full up some space ...

Summary view: View only most recent entry for all values of a given attribute?, posted by Dennis Seitz on Thu May 17 02:12:52 2007

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! |

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!
Cheers,

Too many logbooks during user registration, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Aug 6 17:43:52 2007

Stefan, we require registration with elog. We have quite a number of logbooks and when someone requests a login account AND elects to register with all of the logbooks, the resulting URL is apparently too long for browsers to handle when the admins click on the link embedded in the email notification. For example, FireFox (latest ver) appears to truncate the URL *after* submission (the correct URL is there before submission).
My question: Is it possible to limit - or remove - the checkboxes that the user can select during registration? I realize that this is a browser issue but I doubt I can persuade those guys to fix FireFox.
Thanks. |

I changed the current SVN version (#1909) to show only the list of logbooks if there are ten or less logbooks, in order not to make the URL too long. On the activation by the administrator, the list of subscribed logbooks appears as previously, but all are unchecked. So it's the task of the administrator to enable subscriptions or not. |
