| I would argue VERY strongly against SELect... does an Index list that
include that document mean it is selected??
Or does moving the cursor to that document on the index form mean it is
selected, even if the user immeditely moves to another document??
For reading and printing... then I think the only way is to modify the
R and P options to add to a log file the document name, the date and
the username...
BUT... do they provide the same restrictive logging on PAPER copies of
documents??
Will they do anything USEFUL with the statistics that they gather!?

I think the way to go on this one is to get VMS to track access
dates on the underlying files (in the shared areas or the .DOC
subdirectories), then add a customisation to display the info.
Making VMS track file accesses can be done with a trick on a
per volume basis using SET VOLUME /RETENTION=(...). This is
discussed in detail in the VMSNOTES conference.
I'd love to see this done, and I'd like to see a mail janitor
that refiles stuff in a special wastebasket based on access
dates, and empties the special wastebasket after its been there
a month. You could set it up for IF NOT ACCESSED FOR 2 YEARS and
it would still junk lots of mail...

| 804.3 | How about this... | AUNTB::BOUDREAUX | | Thu Jun 04 1992 18:53 | 33 |
| Hi,
After talking with the customer more in detail, they really don't care
about each document within the SHARED FOLDERs, only insterested in the
SHARED FOLDER itself.
I'm thinking to provide them with a output file look something like
this:
USER NAME [SHARED 1] [SAHRED 2] [SHARED 3] .....
USER1 24 51 20
USER2 5 12 9
.
.
.
Each time a SHARED FOLDER is SELected (they only care about when user
selecting the shared folder), the counter should be incremented by 1
depending on which one of the SHARED FOLDERs has been selected.
I'm thinking of extracting the USERNAME from the profile.dat and create
a data file with the folder counter fields and modify the SELect
function to do a post function just add 1 to the correct counter etc.
Do you think that's doable? Then again I'm open for suggestions.
Thank you again for your support, it is greatly appreciated.
Theresa

| 804.4 | Consider the implications of V3.0 | IOSG::MAURICE | A few follicles short | Thu Jun 04 1992 20:34 | 13 |
| When your customer upgrades to V3.0 they may very well wish to use
shared drawers instead of shared folders. This does not solve your
problem, but it does mean that you have to consider whether much effort
is worthwhile if it is wasted soon after an upgrade. I would recommend
that you ask the customer when they plan to upgrade.
It is a shame that requirements like this do not seem to have made
their way into the list for the next release. Indeed there is not one
request for File Cabinet enhancements on the list.
