I forgot to mention, I also have Password file line in elogd.cfg file. Because without password file line, I wouldn't get login screen. I know my test account is not in the main.pwd file. I believe elogd does go to kerberos server to compare password. I just don't get why I get invalid username and password when I entered correct password, while kerberos error (expected) when I enter wrong password.  

Authentication = Kerberos

Kerberos Realm = xxx

Password file = main.pwd

Actually there is no good secure way. What I usually do is to give users admin rights on individual logbooks, then they can change the config of that logbook. Many times adding some attribute is as good as creating new logbooks. Like if you need two logbooks "home" and "work", you can create an attribute "type" and let the type be "home" or "work". With conditional attributes you can make the logbook behave differently for the two values of "type" and get most functionality of two separate logbooks.

This is possible with conditional attributes. An additional trick would be to not show the text body of an attribute is not selected. This way the user first has to select the attribute, then the text field with the specific preset will show up. The configuration would be something along these lines:

Attributes = Type, Subject
Options Type = One{1}, Two{2}, Three{3}
Show text = 0

{1} Preset text = text1
{2} Preset text = text2
{3} Preset text = text3
{1,2,3} Show text = 1

Of course you have to supply proper text files text1, text2, text3.

Hello All,

The subject is roughly what i'm asking about so here are the details. I have combed through the forums for an answer and didn't come up with anything regarding what i need.

Issue:

Below is what the logbook is setup as. However once there are more than 10 entries on the page, when a user views the logbook, elog automatically puts them to the higher value page # (ie entry number 11 is on page 2).

As I am sorting the entries by status and by Dist or Beat to organize entries for quicker viewing and access, I would prefer that elog always shows on page 1 when a user views the log book. The statuses are setup for sorting properly but when reverse sort is turned on, status "3-Closed" appears at the top instead of status "1-Open" to appear at the top, Status "2-Sent to Next Shift" next, then "3-Closed" after that.

Is there a to just view page 1 without doing the reverse sort?

Theme = default
Page Title = ELOG - $logbook
Entries per page = 10
Attributes = Entered By, Call Type, Date/Time Reported, Customer Name, Customer Phone Number, Location, Dist or Beat, Description, Badge, Updated By, Action Taken, Report Time, Status
List Display = Entered By, Call Type, Date/Time Reported, Customer Name, Location, Dist or Beat, Description, Badge, Updated By, Status
Locked Attributes = Entered By, Updated By
Preset Entered By = $long_name
Preset on edit Updated By = $long_name
Options Status = 1-Open, 2-Sent to Next Shift, 3-Closed
Preset Status = 1-Open
Cell Style Status 1-Open = background-color:red
Cell Style Status 2-Sent to Next Shift = background-color:yellow
Cell Style Status 3-Closed = background-color:green
Type Date/Time Reported = Datetime
Type Customer Phone Number = numeric
Type Report Time = Datetime
Sort Attributes = Status, Dist or Beat
Reverse sort = 0
Use Lock = 0
Summary lines = 0
Self Register = 0

Thanks in advance.

Hello Kay,

I had to look it up in the source code: yes, you are right, it is hard-coded in elogd.h

elogd.h:#define MAX_N_LIST      100

You can of course change the limit and recompile.

As an alternative, you could have sub-menus with less than 100 entries  (disclaimer: the following is untested example):
