- Is there a limit to the amount of text that can be entered into the
Summary Field?
- Printing is REALLY ugly. When you click on the print button you get this
printout that's totally unformatted listing all the fields and their values
from the log you are viewing. I assume that this is because getting a
screen shot or a more formatted printout was determined to be too
difficult. I am also assuming that this will be a hot issue when I do the
training on Tuesday evening so would appreciate any defense amunition
anyone can offer.
- Can you sort on more than one column with a results set window. It
appears to me that you can only sort on one, but multiple sorts might be
nice - first by category then by status for example.
- Running Scopus on my SparcClassic is REALLY slow. Running the Find Open
script took a really long time. Then sorting the result set was reaaly
slow. It appears to be trying to constantly repaint the screen whenever
there is a result set window open. Has anyone else encountered this?
- In testing how record locking works, I encountered some strange behavior.
I was first logged into two different machines, but under my account on
both. I called up the same log on both. Modified the log different on
each machine, and was able to save without getting a record lock message.
When I went to take a look at what had happened, Scopus had actually split
the log into two with duplicate information except the updates - one record
had the update from one session and the other record had the update from
the other session. I then tested record locking logging in as two different
people (myself and Peter Lee) and it did the right thing - locked the
second access to the log out.
- What did we ever decide about the use of the child windows and procedured
for mainframe, network and housecall? Did we decide anything?
