1711 - Summary/Objective
1712 -
171201 - Follow up ref SDS 6 0000, ref SDS 5 0000.
171202 -
171203 - Completed work begun on 990505 to improve the doc log system for
171204 - display on web browsers and delivery via Internet, suggested by Tom
171205 - Keesling on 990505. ref SDS 2 3150  An initial version was created on
171206 - 981015 using pre. ref SDS 1 9120  Experience showed improvements were
171207 - needed.  The html table command improves utility and appearance of the
171208 - doc log.  This is a potential selling point for Communication Metrics.
171209 -
171210 -      [On 990514 Tom Keesling reported this improvement increases
171211 -      utility of Com Metrics on the Internet. ref SDS 7 1450]
171212 -
171213 - Work on the Doc Log led to improving conversion of documents to html
171214 - for display on browsers. Having figured out how to apply the table
171215 - command to improve the document log, it became clear this method could
171216 - help ordinary correspondence, documents and memos.  So this was done.
171217 -
171218 - A lot of cross-coding and adjustments were necessary to get everything
171219 - to work corretly, for example on 990511. ref SDS 6 8799
171220 - ..
171221 - Major changes...
171222 - 
171223 -     a.  On 990505 custom doc log improved for display on web browsers.
171224 -         using table command in 0123. ref SDS 3 3432  A null or empty
171225 -         report is supported so Users are not confused by a no URL
171226 -         found if there are no records in a report. ref SDS 3 2964
171227 -
171228 -         This effort took about a week.  Some work on applying the
171229 -         table command is reported on 990509, ref SDS 5 4032, but most
171230 -         of the work is reported on 990505, to keep everything
171231 -         together.
171232 -
171233 -         Planning and background are explained at ref SDS 3 7708.
171234 -
171235 -         Process is at ref SDS 3 5906.
171236 -
171237 -         F4 calls 0123 after 06113 creates a doc log.
171238 -
171239 -         Procedure is to configure a regular Doc Log report spec, run
171240 -         it, then press F4 in the report file to convert to html.
171241 -
171242 -         The file is converted, then 0122 is called to configure the
171243 -         title command, and to save the file to the local web site
171244 -         directory, and to the temporary directory for uploading to the
171245 -         web.
171246 -
171247 -         Editing of Doc Log is supported by a series of switches based
171248 -         on counter 119, 60 and 61. ref SDS 6 1750
171249 -
171250 -             The doc log file stays in memory, so it can be edited, if
171251 -             desired.  Pressing F1 F2 again, saves the changes.
171252 -             Editing can be evaluated by opening the html file on the
171253 -             local web directory.
171254 -
171255 -     b.  On 990511 Doc Log multi-report feature was developed to
171256 -         supplement the custom report operation. ref SDS 6
171257 -
171258 -         Planning, background and process are at ref SDS 6 6656.
171259 -
171260 -         It integrates 06113, 0123 and 0122 to produce a series of
171261 -         related and linked reports that are all in sync.
171262 -
171263 -         F6 in 06113 calls an operation that creates 3 cross-referenced
171264 -         report.
171265 -
171266 -         Have to start report with Primary Selection set to...
171267 -
171268 -                      Received, Pending Response
171269 -
171270 -         This requires setting a subject for the multi-reports.
171271 -
171272 -         Reports are cross-referenced.
171273 -
171274 -         Procedure is to call a multi-report, then do a custom report
171275 -         if needed.
171276 -
171277 -         An example is the need to provide direct access to a series of
171278 -         specific documents in a short list, per Tom Keeslings request
171279 -         reviewed on 990505. ref SDS 3 7708
171280 -
171281 -             Key documents can be set to Received, Response Due, going
171282 -             back several years.  A custom report will get these
171283 -             documents, so the customer has a simple direct path to get
171284 -             them when needed.
171285 -
171286 -     c.  On 990507 conversion of documents for display on web browsers
171287 -         was improved in 0122 to apply html table command for a variety
171288 -         of correspondence and memo fields. ref SDS 4 5145
171289 -
171290 -         On 990511 0122 was modified to run as a subroutine under 0123
171291 -         so we can do multiple reports at once. ref SDS 6 4681
