Per default, a page containing the the last entries from a logbook is
displayed. By clicking on an entry, its complete contents is displayed. One can use the browser buttons
to display the first, previous, next and last message.
The New button creates a new entry. After clicking on New select
- Instrument (sampling device)
- Action (Start, End or Other)
- Author (person entering this event information)
- Enter the appropriate Transect, Station and Cast number (just the integer)
- Adjust the local time if necessary. (if local time is being recorded)
- Enter the depth of the seafloor if that needs to be entered manually.
- Add an optional comment. Please be as brief as possible.
To Duplicate an event, select the event you wish to duplicate,
e.g. the Start of the current event that is about to end. Select Duplicate
change information as needed, perhaps only changing the Action to End and Submit.
With the Edit button one can edit an existing
message. One or two people on the cruise
will be authorized to edit the event log.
Select the event to Edit, modify it and then click Submit.
Use the comment if necessary to document the change.
The Reply button creates a reply to an
existing message, similar like a reply to an email.
The Find button opens a query page, where messages from a logbook can be displayed based on
filter rules. Each non-empty field works like an additional filter, which is and-ed with the other
rules. If no filter is selected, all messages from a logbook are displayed.
If you want to see the full list of events while you are entering a new event,
simply open another browser window and List All events in one browser window, and
enter the new event in the second window. It is easy to subset the list of events by using
the quick filters in the upper right of the window.
