Configuring what data is visible
LogTen is loaded with hundreds of data fields which you probably do not want to see all the time. You can customize your app to choose what fields are displayed (and which ones are not).
To change the visibility of a field, please select any flight in your iOS logbook, and tap the Action button (3 dots on the top right corner) then select Configure fields.
Tap Configure Section for the section that you want to add/hide fields from and turn on/off any of the fields you want to be displayed.
While in this "Edit Mode" you can rearrange the order of the fields within their section by dragging the "triple equal" symbol on the right of each field.
When you're done configuring a specific section, tap "Back" which will take you back to the original detail view for the flight and then repeat the process for the next section you would like to configure.
You only have to do this on one flight then all of the fields will also display for all of your other flights when they're opened.
This same action applies to the Types, Aircraft, Places, People tabs. For example, if you can't find the Timezone field in the Places tab, then select the three dots button in the top right corner and configure the fields. If you can't find the Hobbs field in the Aircraft tab, then select the three dots button and configure the fields. etc.
Configuring what data is visible
LogTen is loaded with hundreds of data fields, which you probably do not want to see all the time. You can customize your app to choose what fields are displayed, and in what order.
To make a field visible (or invisible), please go to the LogTen menu at the top of the screen, and select Preferences.
The Preferences dialogue is broken down into categories with a *General* settings section, and another tab for each type of data field (e.g. Flight, Time, Crew, etc). Select each field to make it appear in your app, or deselect to hide it (note: even if data is not displayed, it is still saved).
Back in the main Logbook table, each column can be rearranged and resized by clicking and dragging its column header, and the right-hand "detail" section will automatically update to reflect the new order.

Is there a way to save field configurations and switch between them. The defaults are nice but I really want to have multiple custom ones to switch between so I can use the interface efficiently whilst on duty but then edit nitty gritty details later or make corrections. Thanks.
Hi danieljonbayley
This is not currently a feature in the app, but thanks for the feedback! I can see how this would be good to have. I'll pass the request on.
