| [09:38:18] | <ludwa6> | g’day room. Am trying to retrieve some data that is stored in the Description field. Is there no way to search based on Description, i wonder? |
| [11:05:11] | <mstenta[m]> | Hi @ludwa6 you're right there isn't a search field specifically for asset description (or log notes) at the moment |
| [11:05:22] | <mstenta[m]> | It wouldn't be too hard to add |
| [11:05:35] | <mstenta[m]> | Could you create a feature request? |
| [11:06:59] | <mstenta[m]> | I've also been excited about the possibility of integrating a real search engine like Apache Solr |
| [11:07:23] | <mstenta[m]> | That's probably the "best" long term solution to searching in farmOS |
| [11:07:54] | <mstenta[m]> | But a simple description/notes search would be good to add in the short term |

| [13:59:27] | <ludwa6> | mstenta: yes i can write a feature request; will do. Strange thing i just noticed: created a bunch of assets (plantations) yesterday using the QuickForm… And those descriptions i entered don’t appear when i view the record (this is why it thought maybe if i searched for them, they might appear, even if not in the default view). I wonder if it’s a bug w/ the quick form. |
| [14:02:36] | <ludwa6> | Then i wanted to export my asset list as a .CSV -and could not find a way, tho there is a CSV button for export on the bottom of other list forms (e.g. activities -among others) it seems. Am i missing something -or does this also need a feature request? :-) |

| [14:44:02] | <mstenta[m]> | Oh the quick form descriptions may have actually been notes on logs |
| [14:44:07] | <mstenta[m]> | Not descriptions on the assets |
| [14:44:45] | <mstenta[m]> | I forget but I don't think the quick form has a field for the asset description |
| [14:45:00] | <mstenta[m]> | I know there are notes fields for the seeding and transplanting logs |
| [14:45:17] | <mstenta[m]> | Re: CSV export... |
| [14:45:33] | <mstenta[m]> | Were you looking at the All Assets list? Or the Plantings list? |
| [14:45:48] | <mstenta[m]> | Plantings should have a CSV export button |
| [14:48:58] | <ludwa6> | mstenta: yes, i was looking at all Assets list. But now i see that i can export the Plantings. Satisfies my immediate need. But: why not all assets, i wonder? |
| [14:49:23] | <ludwa6> | It’s a common-enough need, to pull a list of all one’s assets. |
| [15:25:22] | <mstenta[m]> | You're right, we should add that option |
