Journal on a Solo account

 
Avatar Ben Mills 31 posts

I have a Solo account and the new journal feature doesn’t seem to work as shown in the demo video. There’s no status feature (which I understand might make sense for a single user account) and I can’t edit or delete my journal entries. I’d like to enter journal entries to keep track of what I do over the week and I’d definitely like to be able to edit them. Is this a bug or by design?

No status on my solo account either which makes sense as there’s no-one to see it! Can’t edit entries whereas I can on my multi user account.

All of a sudden I can edit the entries. It looks like someone has fixed this.

It seems that one can only edit the entries of the day : i can’t edit neither delete the “yesterday” entries.

I’m seeing the same thing. I can’t edit yesterday’s journal entries.

That’s correct. You can only edit the current day’s journal entries. Restricting editing of historical entries helps keep them honest.

Please let me choose if i want to be honest or not ;-)

I jumped right in and added a test journal entry that reads “blah, blah, blah.” So, I can’t delete that? I have to look at that forever?

I agree. This is sort of annoying. Why enforce that we be “honest?” I mean, should that really be Backpack’s job? Seems silly.

I like the idea of a lock down but I’d also like at least a day’s grace. Perhaps the current day and the previous day’s entries could be editable.

The editing policy should be configurable by the administrator.

I’d at least like a delete button even if you can’t edit it. I have also posted some stuff I don’t want on there and I can’t remove it, seems silly.

Does anyone (like an administrator) know if there are any plans to change this? It really does seem like a ridiculous limitation. I’m all for “less”, but shouldn’t this at least be an administrator’s option, as randian suggested above?

+1 for oscar7g’s idea. I often want to add entries for the previous day and end up with a lot of entries tagged [yesterday] which looks crappy and makes it more confusing. Personally I don’t need to go back more than one day (keep me honest for everything 2 days ago!) so I’d be really happy just to edit/add items for yesterday.

I’d like to +1 for removing the lockdown completely. I want to upgrade add new users to my account, but I have old journal entries which I don’t want these users to see. At least allow me to delete the entries, if not edit them. The only way I can erase my journal seem to be to delete my account.

So I guess the Status part is only available if you are part of a team? So no use for the Solo account, hence the Logbook feature has lost 50% of its usefulness for soloists.
