The midas documentation has moved. See [https://midas.triumf.ca/docs/develop/reference/reference/web_pages/#elog-page Elog page] in Built-in web pages and [https://midas.triumf.ca/docs/develop/features/monitoring_and_control/elog/ Logbook (elog)] for the new documentation about the Elog web page.

= Purpose =
The purpose of a [[mhttpd]] ELOG Page is to visually present the '''Built-in''' [[Electronic Logbook (ELOG)]] for the experiment. If
an '''External''' Elog has been installed, the external ELOG  will be displayed instead
(see [[#External Elog|External Elog ]] below).
 
= Access to the ELOG Page =
The ELOG Page is displayed by clicking on the <span style="color: #444444; background-color: #CCCCCC; font-style:italic;
font-size: 90; padding:0.25em;
padding-left: 0.5em;padding-right: 0.5em;border:1px solid #808080;border-radius: 5px;margin-bottom:1px;">ELOG</span> button on the mhttpd [[Status Page]] or other mhttpd web page. <br><br>
 
;Note
:If  the "Elog" button is not present on the Status Page, it may have been [[Status Page#page-switch-buttons|suppressed]].

The first time the <span style="color: #444444; background-color: #CCCCCC; font-style:italic;
font-size: 90; padding:0.25em;
padding-left: 0.5em;padding-right: 0.5em;border:1px solid #808080;border-radius: 5px;margin-bottom:1px;">ELOG</span> button
is pressed, the Elog page will appear as in Figure 1.
 
 
The appearance of the Elog Page can be customized by editing keys in the [[/Elog ODB tree]] . By default the run number appears in the message, and users are not allowed to delete messages. The drop-down list of '''Type''' and '''System''' also contain defaults, all of which are controlled by keys in the  [[/Elog ODB tree]]. Similarly the Elog can be configured to send out email when messages are added to the Elog. 
 
Pressing the <span style="color: #444444; background-color: #CCCCCC; font-style:italic;
font-size: 90; padding:0.25em;
padding-left: 0.5em;padding-right: 0.5em;border:1px solid #808080;border-radius: 5px;margin-bottom:1px;">New</span> button
will allow you to create a new message. The Author field is required. Select a Message Type and System from the drop-down list. Files can be attached if desired (see Figure 2).
 
Figure 3 shows that the new message has arrived.
 
 
 
= External Elog =
If an '''External''' Elog has been [[Electronic Logbook (ELOG)#Installation of External Elog|installed]], the external elog login page will be displayed if a username and password have been configured (see Figure 4). Configuring the external Elog is done using the
[[Electronic Logbook (ELOG)#Configuration file elogd.cfg|configuration file]], rather than the  {{Odbpath|path=/Elog}} tree.
 
An example of an external Elog  is shown in Figure 5, where three logbooks are defined, accessed by clicking the tabs at the top. Clicking the tab labelled "mBNMR" returns the user to the mhttpd [[Status Page]] of the experiment.
