I have use computer logbooks for a long time, Logbook Pro since 2009, but prior to that another program well into the 90's. While I like logbook pro there is one item I seriously miss about my older program.
Recently I received some news concerning an individual I thought I may have flown with in the past. I went to logbook pro to search his name and discovered that the only way I could find him was to scroll through entries. A long and tedious task when you have almost 8500 entries logged. Since my logbook represents a personal story of my career, I have made a few personal columns and entries that I like to log. Like who I flew with, atlantic or pacific crossings, ect.
In my previous logbook if I wanted to know how many hours I flew with Jimmy John, at night, in 2011 across the Atlantic, I could build a report that told me exactly that information. Since it was nothing more then a database record all you needed to do is build a query that requested that information. Any information that had a column in your logbook was fair game for a report, and the report would filter that column information for specifics like names if needed.
I would like to see logbook pro have more report flexibility to include the ability to build reports containing information in personally added columns and filter that information if needed.
TY,
