The journal information can be printed using custom report scripting. You will need to do a LOOP of the Journal table. Then you can use any of the fields as required within the loop:

JournalID

Unique database record ID (used internally by the software).

JournalCongregation

Congregation associated with the journal entry.

JournalDateCreate

Timestamp when the journal entry was created. See JournalDateEdit for details about field formatting.

JournalDateEdit

Timestamp when the journal entry was last edited. You can use the existing date formatting parameters for this field. However, there are 3 more formatting parameters that you can use to represent the time portion of the timestamp:

  • %H - Hours in 24 hour format (00 to 23)
  • %I - Hours in 12 hour format (1 to 12)
  • %M - Minutes (1 to 59)
  • %p - AM / PM time indicator (this is determined by your operating system regional settings)

The # character can still be used with these format specifiers to remove leading zeros (see the Date Formatting Parameters help topic for full details). Also, they must be entered using the correct case! For example, %m (lowercase M) represents the month.

JournalEntry

Journal entry details (up to 255 characters)

JournalFlag

This is the Set as Important flag

JournalDateCalendar

The schedule date in the Away/Home Talks calendar, on which this journal entry will show as a tooltip.

JournalCalendarFlag

Flag set to -1 to identify journal entries associated with the talk schedules. Otherwise, the flag is set to 0 (zero).

There are a couple of sample report scripts that have been included with the software to show how you might represent the journal data. They are called Journal 01 and Journal 02 and are available from your computers Start menu under the Public Talks\Sample Scripts\Management & Planning menu.

Note IconWith respects to scripting, note that looping through Congregations will not find journal entries for (None).  See the sample script Journal 02 for more details.
