This screen can be used to display any monthly log file in the '''CumulusMX/data''' folder. None are displayed until you select date (defaults to current month) and click '''Load'''. The selector will find any file in the folder, including those those for dates before when MX believes is earliest date (StartDate= xxxx, in Cumulus.ini). The only proviso is that the file naming must obey that currently defined in the current locale supplied to MONO (or defined in Control Panel for Windows operating system). Obviously, if you choose to load the default (the current) log file, what you see loaded from the api mentioned above is how the file was at time of creating that api, more lines may be appended to the file while the screen is open, but as far as I can tell the contents shown are not refreshed, so you can only edit those available at time of load. | |||
Highlight any one row and the ''datatables'' software used here will offer '''Edit''' and '''Delete''' buttons that operate on that row. The Edit button pops up a dialog showing all fields available in the version of MX you are using. If the log file has fewer fields because it was created by an earlier version of Cumulus, the excess fields will not show any value. Make any edits, click the '''Save'''(prior to MX version 3.6.1, it was "Edit") button and hopefully you will see a ''Success'' message. | |||
