Browser for the TMS LogBook table

Description
The LogBook browser is a special purpose browser for the TMS LogBook. The LogBook browser's GUI differs slightly from the other TMS table browsers by the addition of two text boxes below the browser list box. These boxes display the Message and Feedback fields of the currently selected entry in the browser's list box. All other columns from the LogBook table are displayed in the browser list box. These columns are:

EventStamp

Date entry entered into the LogBook.

EventOrigin

Person responsible for the entry.

DoneStamp

Date entry ``handled''.

The default query performed on the LogBook table at application startup is to display the items entered today. However, this can be overridden by setting the Glish variable logbook.ndays to the number of days you would like to view at startup. This should be set in you .glishrc file. The following line placed in the .glishrc will display the last 6 days of entries in the LogBook browser at startup.

logbook.ndays := 6
