why many fields not selectable anymore

Post by PE5TT »

I really don't understand why i can not filter on QSL status anymore in V2. used to be easy in V1.

I want to filter QSL received = no AND LOTW received = no, i can 't do that

Why hide these filer options in V2 ???

The structure has changed and now provides a more powerful and dynamic interface.

When you use the filters you will now see that there are four tabs, one of which is 'Confirmations' this is where you filter for the sent and received status.

You can also select these confirmations in the QSL manager when uploading and downloading the various confirmation types.

These changes are documented in the user guide, make sure you download the latest version! and demonstrated in the many YouTube tutorials we provide

I can not filter QSLreceived = NO AND LOTWreceived = NO

i can only filter QSLreceived = NO OR LOTWreceived = NO

what i don't understand is why not give the option to filter on any field, it doesn't hurt

Marcel,

I'm trying to understand why there is a need to filter a "paper" QSL status (IE: yes or no) AND an "electronic" LOTW status (IE: yes or no)?

They are two separate External Services such as: Clublog, Eqsl, HrdLog, etc., etc..

I can see what you are trying to do, but I'm trying to understand why?

What result/goal do you have in mind?

Have we overlooked something is the massive search capabilities that are currently provided?

For me there are two official ways to get a QSO confirmed, either via paper or via LOTW, i don't care which.

What i want to look for is QSO's which are not confirmed via either, so i can make a decision if i want to send a paper card. I don't sent paper QSL for every QSO (any more), i do respond to all QSL's

While where on the subject, it would be nice if i could see in the QSL manager if the dxcc/band/mode is confirmed for the QSO.

Have you watched the three video tutorials about confirmations?

Yes, i did watch the confirmation video's, they do not provide what i am looking for.

For me LOTW and Paper QSL are one thing, and the only valid way to confirm a QSO.

if either of them is being confirmed and i am happy, if neither of them is confirmed i might want to sent a card.

it is really not clear how i can get an overview of these QSO's.

Does this not provide the information and if you need to chase for instance Uruguay in this example, which has not been confirmed by either method you can see the QSO's by clicking on the matrix.

And if you want to send QSL cards to those that have not confirmed then this.
