- All required fields including hardware are given default values when
click New button. Looks good
- Two clear buttons have been distinguished - clear all, clear client.
Much clearer...
- New Find Open scripts - all seem to work, though not as much data in test
database as in production so some came back with "nothing found"
(mainframe, housecall, DCS, unix/vms). All seemed to run REALLY slowly.
Also, what if you still want to occassionally find all open logs - could we
keep old functionality as one of the options?
- Status Information area of screen nicely cleaned up.
- Next step field there and functional.
- Old "History entries" now called "Add entry" which I think is clearer.
Also more closely visually associated with log history field.
- Thaw changed to Close on Thaw. Couldn't test this because couldn't get
#Freeze until field to store any data. I would type in a date in Freeze
until and as soon as I saved it would disappear. When I called log back up
the date would not be there. This field appears to not be saving to the
database.
- History button changed to Log Trail which is a clearer description of
what it does.
- Clipboard changed to Copy Log and works well even on the Mac!
- There was a "touched" field that was appearing behind Title/Address.
Peter R. came and looked at it on my screen, went away and apparently fixed
it.
- Hostname field appears in Network screen.
- When creating a new record, now fills in modified by user and timestamp
with same information as is used for creation date.
- Taken field still shows legacy users.
- IP address does not yet appear as read-only on network screen.
- Find Open script is still showing frozen logs, regardless of date but
that might be because the freeze until date is not being written to the
database.
- Status no longer appears to revert to New if required field is not filled in.
- Switching between main log and network screen, old data no longer appears
to show on network screen when selecting new main log.
Overall, I think the screen looks and functions much better. Good work,
Peter, David, Debi, Steve!!
