Research Log

The Research Log is used to record items to be researched associated with a Notebook entry. The information recorded can include;

•	The name of the repository holding the research item.

•	The title of the item to be researched.

•	The call number for the research item

•	A check box to flag whether the item has been research.

•	The date that the research item was checked

•	The results of the research effort.

The Research Log page (similar to that displayed below) is accessed by selecting the RESEARCH Tab at the bottom edge of the Note Details view.

Research Maintenance Dialog

Maintenance of the Research Log is managed through actions taken at the Section Bar. By selecting the ADD or EDIT buttons the Maintenance dialog as displayed below will become active. Down the right side of the view are a collection of buttons typical to Input Dialogs.

Research Dialog

When adding a new research item a resource may be inserted from information held in the Address Book instead of manually adding it by click selecting the INSERT Button or a Repository only by selecting the button at the right of the REPOSITORY field.

This action will cause the Available Resources List to appear displaying all available resources in the Address Book. Scroll down the list, choose the required item, then click on the SELECT button to return the information to the Research Maintenance dialog.

To quickly find a Repository in the Available Resources List click in the Repository column then press the keys representing the Repository name and the cursor will jump to the first matching record to the key combination entered.

Sort the Available Resources List by clicking on a column heading. Click a second time to reverse the sort order.

Available Resources List

If the Research Log screen is open while adding an item, the entry will be displayed in the background but will not be saved until the Save Button is pressed.
