Logbooks
Logbooks serve as the primary means to organize log entries.
While the home page provides an overview of activity that spans logbooks, most users will be interested in the contents of a specific logbook. Logbooks are created for a specific audience as a way to segregate entries of interest to that audience. For example the Cryogenics Logbook and the Hall A Logbook serve the users of the Cryogenics Group and the Hall A users respectively. The list of logbooks may be accessed from the menubar of the logbooks web server.
The list identifies the currently available logbooks and provides a description of each.
When a log entry is created, it must be assigned to at least one logbook, but it may be entered into multiple logbooks when its content is of interest to the audiences of multiple logbooks. When an entry is entered into multiple logbooks, only a single shared copy of the entry exists -- it is not duplicated. Every logentry can be accessed by its unique URL in the pattern /entry/lognumber
