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
