: : : : Hi,
: : : :
: : : : From the small desk that the bunny has permitted me to use in the back corner of his super burrough somewhere in Fleet 6, I wanted to bring up a couple of small things with regards to SURF :D
: : : :
: : : : 1) In the CO/XO form, there are checkboxes for just about every position, with the exception of one. That position being GM. I know that there's space to add in extra details in a larger text box down below, but a checkbox for GM might be nice for the sake of completeness ... (not to mention for the assistance of forgetful COs such as myself who might forget to write in GM down the bottom if I decide I need one.
: : :
: : : Done.
: : : :
: : : : 2) When reports from COs and XOs enter my in box, I get the following as the subject:
: : : :
: : : : Ship Report: Command Staff
: : : :
: : : : When reports from GMs enter my in box, I get the following as the subject:
: : : :
: : : : (no subject)
: : : :
: : : : If the (no subject) Subject could be changed to Ship Report: GM instead, or even Ship Report: Command Staff instead, that would make it easier to make sure that nothing gets left out from monthly reports or deleted accidentally by AFComms like me. :D
: : :
: : : Done.
: : : :
: : : : Anyway, as I said, both of those are small things.
: : : :
: : : : - Russell
: : :
: : : Both good points :)

: : : ~Wail
: :
: : Thanks Wail ... that now will enable me to use my Labels/Filters in GMail to bring them all together :D

: 3) I've also just noticed that reports from Fleet Command Staff also have the topic of (No Subject). IF that could also be changed to something more descriptive, that too would be appreciated.

Now that I'm seeing some fully compiled Fleet reports, I'm finally noticing a redundancy that I personally find a bit annoying :P

The CO/XO and GM forms have drop-downs for Fleet, and then Ship. That's fine and all, but do we need a "Fleet" field to show up fifteen times within a report entitled "Fleet X Report?"

Again, I know my timing is awesome - but it simply hadn't occurred to me until now. However, in my defense, as a member of the IDept staff I can at least take part in fixing it...
