Hi David,
Thanks for doing that testing. I think that in fairness, you should
report the difficulty you had in creating a new log (and finding a log? I
seem to recall that there was trouble here too). The new log button didn't
seem to work for quite a while and gave you a blank log screen with no
indication of whether it was creating a log but not showing you, or whether
it was not creating a log and simply showing you a blank screen.
Your report is accurate except that it conveys the impression that we
experienced no difficulties (bugs). I think that you should include that
bug and any others as it will surely be experienced by at least one of the
50+ studentsand staff who will be using the Scopus utility.
