There is a menu/filter bar hidden in the code that should be activated.  This 
will not answer all of the points here but will help organize the infolog 
record views in general.

There is talk about modifying the notes and todos apps to support features 
currently in Infolog for those types and then either drop the infolog view 
entirely or provide a way for infolog to access data from those other apps (ie 
each app would store it's own data and infolog would just become a linking and 
display system .. currently it stores all of the notes, todos, and phone 
entries in it's own tables)

Summary:  InfoLog made Similar to .16 AddressBook

Original Submission:  
Hi, 

After using the AddressBook in .16 it dawned on me that InfoLog 
could benefit from a similar level of depth. 

I've had great success in InfoLog creating custom entry types. In 
addition to the standard entries i've made a few others.. adn 
would like to make more... However InfoLog is limited to 3 events 
attached to any one Application's object. This is cool, as things 
can get cluttered and lengthy if > 3.

As a solution to this problem, I thought that a list of all possible 
InfoLog Items would be good to replace the standard growing 
table that accompanies applications that support InfoLog.. Buttons 
or text links that list all the possible InfoLog entry types (including 
any custom entry types that could be made) and a report of the 
number of InfoLog entries that exist for that particular record. Say 
an AddressBook entry, may have a number of Notes, and some 
PhoneCall entries. A Project entry may have more, say every major 
PhoneCall during the course of working with a client.. 


AddressBook's Organization, People and their various information 
fields, broken down by category is very similar to what it would 
look like, except perhaps InfoLog entries would have the number 
of records of that type and (if taking things to their farthest point) 
status level. 


InfoLogEvent (Number of Entries, StatusNotices)


ASCII art rendering: 


[Notes (3)]     [PhoneCalls (1)]    [ToDo (2, 1 open)]
[CustomEvent1 (5, 3 open)]   [CustomEvent2 (0)]



InfoLog already has great strength in X-Linking objects, making 
the interrelations that make groupware come alive, It'd be nice to 
see InfoLog grow as 'the' way to make any sort of amendment or 
reference or note or relation to the objects it already supports. 



dig?


--hope this helps

an update to this would be to include the Contact and Subject of the info 
log notes in the summary of all items attached to another application

ie:

InfoLogEventType (open/total)
Contact1: Description1
Contact2:Description2
etc.. .
