QSL search

Post by G4DWV »

Hi,

I would like to be able to do the following. I would like to find those QSOs for which I have received a QSL card via the bureau, but have not sent one yet. I would then like to print labels for that list.

Thanks in advance.

Qsl rcvd via (equal to or starts with) B

Thanks very much Terry.

Attached is the search parameters window that I constructed. There are several places that use search parameters and I had to be in the QSL management window for the search to work. I had expected the search to work everywhere.

How do I cancel the search without deleting the contents of the search box (the only way I have found to remove the search parameters*)? Once I have got a filter to work, I cannot find any way to cancel it in the manual.

*Closing and reloading works too. I would expect the "search parameter" button to act like a toggle.

Cheers

Guy

Our YouTube tutorial covers the subject here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLXQwM-2uQ0 starting at 10 mins 55 seconds into the video and page 56 of the user guide also covers the subject.

Use the saved searches area at the bottom of the window to save for future use

Select the parameters to delete and use the bucket or - (Minus sign) to delete

Closing the QSL print manager window also deletes the search

I have just checked every @Search Parameter' window in Log4OM and the facility works in every window, my example was from the label print window as you asked about sending QSL cards!

Note that using equal to may not always work if the string contains more than a N, B or Y like N-No that's why I suggestes 'Like' because that is the same as 'Starts with' and just searches on the first letter in the field
