Station Profiles, Logbooks and Locations

[jancona]

I recently upgraded from 1.9.9 to 2.4.4 and I'm a bit confused by the documentation on Station Profiles. The wiki page talks about profiles, which I believe was the 1.x terminology. As I understand it, 2.x now has multiple Station Logbooks, each of which can contain multiple Station Locations. Do I have that right?

It looks like a location can belong to zero or more logbooks. Is that correct? If so, what is the use case for having a location in either zero or more than one logbook?

Also the API/QSO page talks about a station_profile_id. Is this actually the Station Location ID?

Here's a simplified version of what I did, leading to all these questions:

• Upgraded from 1.9.9 to 2.4.4
• Updated my logging program to use the new 2.x api/qso endpoint.
• Created a new station location for a POTA activation.
• Set my default location to the newly created one.
• Made a bunch of contacts, with my logging program using the Logbook ID (1) as the station_profile_id.
• Discovered all my QSOs were using Location ID 1, rather than my newly created location.
• Manually changed the location for all my QSOs. (A bulk edit function would be nice!)
• Saw that my QSOs no longer showed up on the homepage and Logbook/Overview, but were still visible in Logbook/Advanced.
• Messed around for a long while before finally figuring out that I needed to assign my new location to my default logbook before the QSOs would show up on those pages. (Perhaps there should be a way to pick a logbook when the new location is created.)

I'm happy to try to update the wiki pages to reflect the way things now work, but I want to make sure I actually understand first.

Thanks,
