Todd,

I can't seem to get a list view of my collection. From form view when I click the list view button, I'm only getting a listing of the one form that I was viewing in form view. This function has worked properly earlier tonight but isn't now.

Also, how to I change the personal information that appears at the bottom of the screen? My area code has changed. It appears correctly in the listings of my collections but not on printouts and such. Thanks!


There are a couple of things you can check.

Go the List View, and at the bottom of the screen, click on the button that says List All. This makes sure that you have more than one item in the found set.

If this doesn't work, then you may have changed one of the settings under a pull down menu. You normally don't have to change things with the pull down menus, since everything can be done by using buttons. Go to the list view, then look under the pull down menu called Select and make sure that View as List is selected (not View as Form).

To change your name and address information, go to the Utilities Menu (this is a choice when you get to the opening screen or there is a Utilities button at the top center of the form view). At the Utilities Menu, click on button that says Name and Address Changes. You will be able to change your area code there.

Hi: I've been working with the YuleLog program a few weeks now & am very pleased with it. I started out by alphabetically grouping ornaments by series name. Can you insert a new record# into a grouping like that in order to keep the series together?? What about next year when a new one is added to the series? Or if a series or individual ornament in the series was forgotten in the original entering process?? Does record# matter or should I just always sort on ornament name & the series will be kept together that way?? Thanks for your help.


As new items are added to YuleLog, they are placed at the end of the list...

But, there is a way around this. If you go to the list view screen, you can sort the ornaments in lots of ways, by simply clicking on the column heading. Since series ornaments are listed first by their series name and number, sorting by name, will group the series properly. Then you can click on the button in the upper right hand side of the list view screen that says, SAVE SORT. This may take a few minutes on a large collection, but the result will be that your items will be sorted the way that you like!

All you need to remember is that anytime you add new items, you need to resort and SAVE SORT.

When I try to save my collection to a disk, it won't do it because it says the file is too large. How can that be? I need to put it on a disk so I can print it out on my other computer that has a printer.


The files are pretty large if you have a large collection. The best way to move the information is to use the Backup function on the Utilities menu.

Start YuleLog and go to the Utilities Menu. Click on the button that says Save Backup Data Files. This creates 3 files that hold all of your data. They are much smaller and may fit on a floppy (depending on the size of your collection). These files are saved in the YuleLog2 folder, which is in the Program Files folder on your C: Drive. Copy these 3 backup files (backup1, backup2, & backup3) to a floppy disk or zip drive.

After you have installed YuleLog on the second computer, copy the backup files from the floppy disk to the YuleLog2 folder, in the Program Files folder on the C: drive of the second computer.

Start YuleLog on the second computer, go to the Utilities Menu, and click on the button labeled Restore from Backup Data Files. This will read the information from your backup files into YuleLog.

How do I move items from one collection to another?


To move things from one collection to another,(assuming you have already created the second collection) go to the item you want to transfer, click on the yellow Price Info tab, and look in the lower right hand corner of the screen for a button labeled Transfer Ownership. Click on this and you will see a list of the collections and their numbers at the top of the screen. At the bottom of the screen, you will see a list of the ornaments, showing which collection they belong to. You can then click on the collection number of each ornament and list of collection numbers will pop up. Select the number for the collection you want, and the next time you open that collection, the items you moved will be there. When you are finished transferring items, click on the Done button in the top right hand corner of the screen.

I would like to know how to enlarge a photo that I have scanned into YuleLog. It comes out small...


To work with YuleLog, the picture you paste in, needs to be about the same size and shape as the frame. If it is a lot larger, YuleLog has to shrink it down to fit. If your picture is much taller or wider than the frame, it will be reduced to fit. If it is a lot wider or taller, this results in much reduction. Try to start with an original that is proportioned as much like the frame (portrait and not landscape) as possible, and close to the size of the frame. If you copy very large, high resolution photos, you may make the file too large. YuleLog files have a 2 gig limit, and if you are pasting in large photos, you can hit that limit.

I am a collector of Anri Woodcarvings and Enesco Ornaments which I would like to enter as separate collections on my Yule Log data base.

Would you please give me the steps to be taken in order to enter ornaments which either are not Hallmark or are not in the data base.


YuleLog allows you to keep up with many different collections. These collections can belong to one or many different collectors. Every collection has to be associated with a collector. One collector could break his or her collections into a "For Sale" collection and a "Personal" collection. A collector could have an "Ornament" collection and a "Merry Miniature" collection. Or you can simply keep everything in just one collection. The choice is up to you. This feature of YuleLog also makes it nice if you want to log a friend or relatives collection.

When you click on the Continue button at the opening screen of YuleLog, you will see three buttons.


The Primary Collection button will take you directly to Collection 1. This is the first collection that was added. This is just a quick way of getting to the collection you use most.

The Work with Collections button will take you to a list of all of the collections. You can then choose which collection you want to work with.

The Work with Collectors button will take you to a list of all of the collectors. You can then add or edit information on the collectors that you track.

To add additional Collections for yourself, click on the Work with Collections Button. You will see a list of your collections. At the top of the screen, click on the NEW button.

You will see a warning telling you that you must first add a collector. Since you are the collector and you have already been added (when you first ran the program), click OK to add another collection.

You will see a list of the collectors. Click on the little circle to the left of your name to select which collector this new collection belongs to. Then click on the Continue button.

You will be taken to the Collection Form View screen. Give the collection a name. Then click on the Work with Items in the Collection button.

You will be told that there are no items in the collection and be asked if you want to add some. Click on the OK button and you will be taken to the price guide.

Since you want this collection to be non-Hallmark items, you are not really interested in the price guide, but since this program was written for Hallmark items, you need to add at least one Hallmark item to get started. You can delete this item later.

Click on the select check box of any ornament and then click on the Add To Collection button. Then click on the Add button again.

You will be taken to the Ornament List view, showing the ornament you just added. Click on the name of the ornament to get to the Form View.

Non Hallmark items are added one at a time by clicking on the NEW button at the top center of the screen. You will get a warning telling you that the best way to add ornaments is to use the price guide. Since the items that you want to add are not in the price guide, ignore the warning and click on the ADD button. You will see a minor program glitch (this will be fixed in the summer update) which warns you that this field is not modifiable. Click on OK and you will be given a blank form. You can then enter the data for your item. Add new items by clicking on the NEW button to add each new item.

In the future, you can get to this collection by going to the collection list when you start the program (by clicking on the Work with Collections button) and clicking on the name of the collection you want to work with. Or you can change from one collection to another, by clicking on the Change Collection button at the top of the Ornament Details screen.

Todd, your question below,
 Quote:
How do I move items from one collection to another?
ALMOST answers my question, but I need to know how to move ALL the items from one collection to another. For example, when I first began using YuleLog, I created separate collections for me, Darrin, and Nicholas. I don't want them separated anymore; I want to have them all in MY collection. LOL Is there a way to do this all at once, instead of item by item? I thought I could do it using the method below, except when I got to where the list of ornaments appears at the bottom of the screen, I wanted to use the "Replace" command to replace Collection 2 with Collection 1, but that option was greyed out in the menu. Is there a way? Thanks!

Lora, you were very close to doing what you wanted! Open up the collection that is to be moved. Go to the yellow Price Info Screen, and click on the Transfer Ownership button (lower right hand corner of screen). Go to the first ornament in the list and change its Collection number to the collection number that you want it to have. Make sure to leave the cursor in the Collection # field, then carefully go to the Mode pull down menu and you should be able to select Replace. Read the resulting dialog box carefully, and it should tell you that it is going to replace the contents of the field Collection # with what ever number you selected. Click on the Replace button and you should get what you are after. The Replace selection was greyed out before, because you need to first have your cursor in a field... Let me know if this works!

I'm happy to hear you like YuleLog!

To add items to your collection that are not in the price guide:

Start YuleLog and go to the appropriate collection.

At the blue Ornament Details screen, Click on the button labeled "NEW"
located at the top center of the screen.

You will see a warning telling you it is best to add items from the price
guide. Click on the ADD button to add a new item

You will be presented with a blank form to fill out.

That's it! Repeat as needed.

One of my favorite presents this year (it was on my list for awhile now - so glad Santa was able to come through this year!) was YuleLog software. I am now going through boxes and boxes and trying to enter my collection.

I've taken most of my ornaments out of their boxes over the years and have boxes of just the ornamennts and other boxes of just boxes. I've also bought many pieces WITHOUT boxes so now I have a few questions related to entering these pieces in a quick manner...

Diana, these are some excellent questions! My answers follow your questions and are in bold.

1. Is there a way to find generic descriptions of pieces? i.e. Let's say I have the #1 Snow buddies in my hand, but don't recall the name (and don't have the box with it on hand). Is there a search I could do for snowman or something to find the ornament?

To some extent, you can do this by searching on the Name of the ornament, however, this will only work if the name includes the feature you are looking for... Once you have entered the ornament in your collection, you can use the "TYPE" field to enter more information about the ornament. However, at this point, YuleLog is not indexed in exactly the manner you want. I would like to work on this information, but the size of the job is daunting... I have considered sub-contracting this job, and if I can find someone willing to do it, at a price I can afford, it will be a future feature!

2. I'm entering 40 - 50 ornaments at a clip that DON'T have boxes. Is there a way to quickly change all on the current list from Mint in Box (as it is automatically entered) to No Box? I've been going record by record and doing it by hand and that gets time consuming. Or is there a way to see a list of the ornaments and change that entry with a click down the list for each without having to enter the individual forms?

You can do this, but you need to be very careful! If you have just added a group of ornaments from the price guide, right after you add them to your collection, you are looking at a list of just the items just added. If you switch to the Ornament Details Screen, change the first item to No Box, and then carefully go to the Pull Down Menu named Mode, and select "Replace" YuleLog will ask if you want to change all of the found items to "No Box". If you answer yes, it will quickly make this change. However! BE CAREFUL! If you do this incorrectly (like if you are viewing your entire collection) It will change all of your items. Make sure that the Found Set includes only the items you want to change.

3. Later I'll be going through the pile of just the boxes and changing the "No Box" to (hopefully!) Mint Box or a few Damaged Boxes.
Is there a quick way to manuever from the entries to get to just that info?

This question confuses me a little... If I understand correctly, you can first do a search to find those items that are listed as No Box. This will list only those items. You can then go to the Reports menu and select the first choice, Description and Comments. This will put the found ornaments in a list view that includes the Box Condition field. This is a pop up field that is activated by clicking in the field, and selecting your choice

4. Can I do do a simple find just within my collection list (not the price guide).

That's easy! From the blue Ornament Details screen, just click on the pink Find tab and you will be taken to the Find screen where you can perform almost any search you can think of!

5. I've found that I can see my multiple ornaments from within the forms by clicking on the Multiples form and then scrolling through each record...is there a way to get a list that shows which pieces I have multiples of?

Hmmm... That's harder... At this point there is not a report that does this. When you go to an inventory report, they are sorted first by year, then by name, thus multiples will be placed together in the report, however, there is not a quick way to just list multiples. I'll look into adding this feature to the next update.

6. I'd like to enter the colorways from 2000 Premiere and Club exclusives (like AOT colorways, Signature Snowman, Barbie 2000). What will happen to these records when the update comes out? Is there a preferable way of entering these so that the new info can "merge" with the old? Or should I somehow "mark" these so that I know to check them next year with the price guide?

If you and I use the same stock number, then you should be OK. You can study my stock number usage, and most likely figure out what I will use. However, you may want to flag the items you add manually, using the comments field, and check to see that we synch up at update time.

Thanks in advance for your help! Despite what you might think from all the questions, I'm finding the program very easy to use and very useful. I'd just like to utilize some more of the program's power rather than my time!

Please don't ever hesitate to ask questions! This is the 6th year for YuleLog, and it gets better every year, thanks to questions and suggestions by users! I'm happy to hear you like YuleLog!

Don't forget to answer yes (every now and then) when you click on the Quit button and YuleLog asks if you want to save Backup Copies of your data. I've heard from a couple of people lately who suffered crashes due to power outages (lots of those in winter!) and the backup files saved thier data!

I replaced the computer and can't seem to get the old yulelog files transfered to the new one. I tried exporting and importing, but it keeps telling me one field doesn't match, and then exports to Gordon, not my personal collection. I'm still using YuleLog 2002. I'm afraid upgrading might make things worse! What am I doing wrong?

The best way to move from one computer to another is to use the backup feature:

First start YuleLog on the old computer.At the opening screen, click on the Utilities Button. Click on the Save Backup Data Files buttons. This will create three files named Backup1, Backup2, and Backup3. These files will be saved in the YuleLog2 folder which should be in the Program Files folder on your C drive. Copy these files to a zip disk or a floppy disk. On your new computer, install YuleLog, using your newest CD, as if it were a first time installation. When ever it asks, tell the installer that this is new installation. Then copy the backup files from the floppy or zip to the YuleLog2 folder which again should be in the Program Files folder. Start YuleLog, again answering the question as if this were a first time installation. Fill out the name and address form and then at the Licensed to screen, click on the Utilities button. Click on the Restore From Back Up Data Files button. This will read your data into the new copy of YuleLog and then you should be good to go.

Todd,

I'm entering many ornaments that I purchase from a small store that offers the ornaments at a 20% savings. Is there a way to enter the information, the price and date purchased, all at once rather than individually as I'm doing now? Thanks for a great program.

Linda

Linda,
You can make the same change to a group of records, using the Pull down menus. You should be very carefull doing this!

First do a search that will find just the items you want to change. They must have something in common that allows you to do a search just for them, so that all the other ornaments are hidden.
Then go to the field that you want to change. Click in it and make the change on the first item. Make sure that the cursor stays in that field. Go to the Records pull down menu and select Replace Contents. You willl see a dialog box that tells you what you can replace.

You need to be very careful with this, because it will replace the contents in the entire found set. If you have your entire collection found, then it will replace the contents for that field in all records.

If you feel you need more help with this, eMail me and we can set up a telephone appointment.

Todd

YuleLog will not run on an iPad. Totally different operating systems.

I have purchased the Logmein Ignition App for IPad. It is $29.99, but I love it. I installed the free version of Logmein on my main computer where I have my Yulelog program. I can access that computer from my IPad and use the Yulelog program. It is great. This means that I can do anything on the IPad I can do on that computer, like have FLASH. I think you can buy this app on some phones to.
I purchased this so I would have it for the KC trip.

Todd,
Just wondering if there is a chance that you will get Yulelog for Mac OS Lion. I currently have Snow Leopard and was getting ready to update to Lion. I'm sure glad I didn't as I have read Yulelog will not work. I do want to update my computer but do not want to take a chance of losing the access to your program. It has been a lifesaver for me in getting my ornaments in some sort of order. I love the program and hope that you will be able to get the program to run on the updated Lion. Thanks so much for having this program available. Don't know what I would do without it, other than have tons of papers will lists on them.
Thanks Again!!!!!

Sean I tried this, and when I tapped "list view" and then the year (which was how I wanted to list my ornaments) my screen went blank. I waited as you said because of the size of the collection, but nothing happened. There isn't a button that allows me to save the resort. Would that be the back up that is requested every time the program is closed?

decorations. It is a set of six snowmen. the number listed is DMP1277. do not remember what year it came out and I can not find it under the name or number. Can you help?

Elaine


Elaine, I apologize for not commenting on this sooner. I just saw a comment from someone else who I think is looking at a different set of 6 snowman ornaments. I'm wondering if you are looking for the set of 6 snowman ornaments that came in a clear plastic container that is a triangular cube? I don't have ready access to mine that are like what I'm describing, but I don't believe that they are Keepsakes. The item number that you quoted isn't from the Keepsake line. If you want to include this in your database you may need to add them if Todd/Sean won't be adding them in the next update.

Is there a way to turn off the messages? It just seems that there is so many extra clicks when trying to enter my ornaments. I get a popup for setting all to this collector than another for setting all to this collection then yet another telling me to how go to price guide or to my collection. It is getting redundant.

Sorry, there is no way to turn off the message. Remember that you can use the find feature even after you've clicked an ornament and it will remember your selections. This might minimize the number of times you actually add ornaments.

Just a quick question, I recently imported all of my data into the newest version of Yulelog. It appeared everything went well, I could see all of my collection, I backed up the database locally and closed the program. However, the next time I opened the program it asked me to import data, I ignorantly pressed ok and unfortunately now everything in my database is duplicated.

What is the easiest way to delete the duplicates? Everything I have tried thus far is quite lengthy and I could almost recreate the database from scratch in the time it's taking.

Hi,

There's no easy way to delete duplicates. If you have a copy of your old backup files send them to me via email and I will create a backup file that you can use to restore your collection so that you can just delete everything in your program right now and restore from that file.

I deleted everything in my program by using the "reset yulelog" button under "utilities. Then I imported my data from the older version, all went well, in terms of the import. Hadn't thought of this, thank you.

Only issue now is that although my inventory seems correct the pictures and market price info doesn't show up under form view or under any of the "reports" tabs. The only place it shows up is in the "price guide"

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks again!

I just installed Yulelog 2012. Why do I keep getting a message that says "this action cannot be performed because this file is not modifiable" message? I entered my name and address info and am in the price guide trying to click on ornaments to start my collection. I have tried to add my name as a owner and I get the same message.

Is there a way to print with the pictures showing? When I used to do this before, I never had a problem. I have my own pictures in there, don't know if this is the problem or not, I sure hope not because most of the pictures are mine. Would like to start printing for the artist I have for the event so I can start pulling the ornaments. Thanks.

Is there anyway to print pages without the purple banner across the top of each one? Uses lots of ink. In the past (b4 2012) there was just the Yulelog logo and the rest was white/blank. Any help would be appreciated. On the same note in the past I could get 4 or 5 ornaments on one page - now I can only get 2 - taking up way too much paper and ink. Any thoughts?

I am trying to print out a listing of my ornaments for the artist signing with the storage location. I don't want every single ornament just the ones for the 2 artists. I go to inventory reports then I type my collector name and my Collection name then I hit the all ornaments tab, then inventory & Storage Location tab, but then I don't know how to do the artists. Help........I am stuck there. Peg

Is there a web based version of Yulelog? Just curious. Also, I purchased several updates a few years back but we moved and they all seem to have disappeared. So, I guess I start over with a new 2014 disc? Thanks!

Yes, there was a major update to Yulelog in 2012. If you did not purchase and load that one, you must start from scratch now. Also, when you ask about web-based, do you mean is there a download available to purchase, rather than a disc? Yes, there is. As Sean pointed out in the Shout box, the master is now at the printer, so the disc and download for 2014 should be available very soon.

What am I doing wrong?

The Club ornaments will not show up when I put their QX numbers in the find box. However, after I scrolled down the price guide I only found the Christmas Windows #12. I have not found the Teddy Bear Maker or the Grandfather clock in the price guide.

Also, it would be nice if I could print just a list of the currant years ornaments. Not have to print the whole collection.
This is for the Insurance people. I can update their records with just one or two pages each year.

Thanks

Darlene, there are several 2014 items that are not yet included in the price guide. For now, you just have to manually enter all their information on a "new" screen while in your collection.

It's been a while since I've printed a report and I don't know if there have been changes this year. What I think I remember doing is, while in your collection, do a "find" by year 2014. When that list comes up, I think if you click print at that time, that it will only print this list of 2014 ornaments that you have and not your whole collection.

Smiles: You can get a list of SIGNED ornaments the same way as a list by year. When you go to FIND, instead of keying in a year, go to the small square on the right side marked SIGNED and put an X in it. Then click PERFORM.

Actually, I just upgraded from 2011 to 2015 and Sean converted my old files from the backups 1,2,3 . . . for Five Bucks . . . in addition to the purchase price of the upgrade.

Vs. re-entering 1700 plus ornaments . . . the price was well worth it. Unfortunately when I upgraded way back when in 2011, my husband messed up my backup files so I only had thru 2004 as he LOST my inventory from 2005-2011 . . . I put a lot of effort into location location location naming schemes and had everything in tip top organized shape. Thus my LONG DELAY in upgrading to now 2015.

So . . . IF you skipped an update since 2012 upgrade, there is a reasonably priced fix~~!!! Just email Sean and he'll take care of ya~!!!!

Thanks again, Sean~!!!!

Denise: When you bring up the items you are looking for, click on "YEAR" at the top of the year column, so it will sort them. Then, go to inventory and print. This worked previously but I haven't done it for a while.

That doesn't appear to work anymore. It still lists all the ornaments, just not in order.

Thanks for your input.

Denise: I just went into YuleLog and the YEAR sort worked fine.

In your collection, go to FIND and enter what you are looking for.

When the page of found items comes up, click on "YEAR" on the extreme upper left (just under the YuleLog purple ornament).

Then, click on "REPORTS" and tell it to print the "found items."

I have another question for you. What is the difference between "Replacement Cost" and "Total Market"? Which should I use if I want to sell some ornaments? I did get my inventory to print by year. Thanks for the help with the software

I have installed Yulelog on a new laptop and am attempting to list my ornaments. I can't find the light and sound ornaments on the Price Guide. Are they sorted differently than in the years? Thank you for your help.

Update: I found them.
