Thanks for re-raising this @Fosten (and welcome to the forum)!
I’d love to see this get added. It feels like an obvious missing feature that one would expect to see.
Reading back through my previous comments, I feel like I was overthinking things, and the idea of cramming everything into the existing “Logs” tab seems like a bad idea now. The other idea (which @Farmer-Ed echoed) of having two tabs probably wouldn’t be that bad. What if we had “Logs” and “Usage” tabs? They would both be list of Logs, but “Usage” would just be logs that reference the equipment asset in the equipment field.
We could add some help text at the top of both tabs (on equipment assets only) that explains their difference. That would probably be enough to remove any confusion a user might experience at first when they see “Logs” and “Usage”.
For example, on the “Logs” tab, the help text might say:
For equipment usage logs, refer to the “Usage” tab.
And on the “Usage” tab, the help text might say:
For logs that reference this equipment generally (eg: Maintenance logs), refer to the “Logs” tab.
It might be a good idea to add some general help text to the “Logs” tab anyway. I don’t think there is anything there now.
I see the idea of the difference conceptually, but IMO users don’t care and that distinction between TO and WITH. They want to see maintenance, or most recent activities the tractor was used for, or to organize what activities to do today and if they are in the same part of the field or not. Having two tabs will confuse people more than it helps them, especially new users who are the most impacted by confusing UI and who need the most support from the UI.
I like your original idea Mike: simply listing all the log types as sub-tabs is a more helpful and intuitive way to get folks what they want (and consistent with what you already do elsewhere). It already splits out all the log categories in ways which have more meaningful connections to things users care about (maintenance, inputs, activities, etc.). Then in one click they can confidently get to what they want, without having to absorb an abstract concept. IMO, exactly the linkage to the equipment is a detail that doesn’t seem nearly as relevant as the log type, and is searchable if needed.
