How do I set a default list option?
 I have an attribute called Active with options yes, no
When I do a list I want to see just the records having yes.
When required, the quick filter allows me to see records with option = no or all the records.
Thanks

Dear all,

I am trying to get elog used in our company but I need some help.
I have two small questions:

-1- how can I restrict the access 
of a certain user such that he can only see certain logbooks. 
But also not showing the other logbooks on the selection page.
So we could have a tree like this:

Stage one
|
|->Stage 2
       |
       |
      / \
     |   |
    Co1 Co2
    /     \
  job     job

So when Co1 logs in the should not be able to see Co2 and the attached job

-2- How can I have a login page instead of the logbook selection page.
When I insert the password statement the config, I get a blank page.

That is what I found in the mean time. And it works like a charm.

I'm now using this (I had to redesign our tree for that)

This is not working for me, in Mozilla Firefox I'm still getting a blank page, where IE is giving me an error
stating
that the page is unavailable

something simular but not so sensitive)
