Hi Stefan,

Roptions, or Radio Buttons.  Do you recall that on old
radios, if you gently pressed a button you could release whichever
button was already in, without selecting the new button; in other
words no selection made.

I'd like this same facility with elog.  Now I know that it can be
done by (for example) in the config file preselecting one of the
selections on reply- or indeed one that does not exist to "clear" it, 
but in this case that is not the route I'd want to take every time.

What I'd like is a (optional) button along with all the others, which 
if you click on it, it will clear any selection for that particular Roption.  
At present, once an Roption has been selected, it will persist in all 
replies unless or until an alternative choice is made.  Alternatively, if 
no selection has been made, then there is no selection on the reply, either. 
[Unless something in the elog.cfg file].

Regards,

David.

What about defining an additional option "unspecified". So you have

Roptions attr = option1, option2, option3, none

Whenever you click on "none", the selection is removed from the other options. The HTML standard unfortunately does 
not foresee radio buttons not being selected, so I would have to tweak it somehow to get exactly what you want.

Hadn't realised the standard was written that way.  
What you propose seems fine to me.

David.

I want to implement the following feature in my logbook:
selecting an Option related to a specific Attribute produces a filter on the Options related to the other Attributes.

-----
Example:
I have the following configuration:
" Attributes = Project, Category
Options Project = Agenda, Software
Options Category = General, Data, Result, Meeting, Status, TODO, DONE,
Reminder, Result, Other
...
Quick filter = Project, Category "

I want that: if on the Quick filter I select "Project = Agenda", then the entry "Category" displays only the Options "Meeting, Status, TODO, DONE, Reminder, Other"; if on the Quick filter I select "Project = Software", then the entry "Category" displays only the Options "General, Data, Result, Other".
See the attached JPGs (they are edited printscreens from my logbook).

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you in advance!

That's possible with conditional attributes:

Attributes = Project, Category
Options Project = Agenda{1}, Software{2}
{1}Options Category = Meeting, Status, TODO, DONE, Reminder, Other
{2}Options Category = General, Data, Result, Other
Quick Filter = Project, Category 

Attributes = Project, Category
Options Project = Agenda{1}, Software{2}
{1}Options Category = Meeting, Status, TODO, DONE, Reminder, Other
{2}Options Category = General, Data, Result, Other
Quick Filter = Project, Category 

Thanks a lot for the prompt answer!

Hi,

I have logbook A and logbook B.  Is it possible to move one type of entries in logbook A to logbook B?  If yes, may I know how you do it?  Thank you.

•  You can add the "Move to = B" command in logbook A.
• Then you add "select" in "List Menu commands = ..., select, ...".
• Now you "Find" all entries of the type you want (for convenience choose "Display 9999 entries per page").
• You press "toggle all" and then "Move to B"
