By default, all fields on the <b>Detailed Report<\/b> layout to which a user has read permission, will be displayed. The <b>Detailed Report<\/b> for the user&#8217;s current Business Area and Project is selected. There are three ways of specifying a subset of these fields to be displayed &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-f<\/span> option<\/li>\n<li>The <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-c<\/span> option<\/li>\n<li>The existence of a file named <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">$HOME\/.evget<\/span> (<span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">evget.txt<\/span> on Windows). However, only fields on the <b>Detailed Report<\/b> layout can be displayed with this command.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>NOTE: Even though attachments may be displayed on the Detailed Report layout, evget cannot display attachments.<\/p>\n<p>If the file <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">$HOME\/.evget<\/span> exists (<span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">evget.txt<\/span> on Windows), and neither the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-c<\/span> option nor the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-f<\/span> option are specified, <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">evget<\/span> will use the contents of this file as the list of field names whose values will be displayed. The format of this file is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Only one field name may be placed per line in this file<\/li>\n<li>Only fixed database names may be used in this file<\/li>\n<li>Blank lines are ignored<\/li>\n<li>Lines whose first non-blank character is a hash (#) are ignored<\/li>\n<li>A line containing only the string, <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">__END__<\/span> marks the end of the field list. This line, and all lines after this line in the file are ignored.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>OPTIONS<\/h3>\n<p class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-r<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 0 25px;\">Data for all fields is returned in XML format. All other command line options are ignored when <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-r<\/span> is used.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-c &#8220;field1, field2, &#8230; , fieldn&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 0 25px;\">Allows the user to provide a comma-separated list of fields to be displayed, as command line options. Field names must be identified using the fixed database names. If the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-f<\/span> option is used in combination with the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-c<\/span> option, all the fields included in <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">myfile.txt<\/span> will be displayed in addition to the fields specified with the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-c<\/span> option. When the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-c<\/span> option is used, the file <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">$HOME\/.evget<\/span> is ignored.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-f myfile.txt<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 0 25px;\">Allows the user to specify a file that contains a list of all the fields to be displayed. The format of this file is identical to the format of the file <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">$HOME\/.evget<\/span>, described above. When the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-f<\/span> option is used, the file <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">$HOME\/.evget<\/span> is ignored. <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-a left|normal<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 0 25px;\">Controls the alignment of the displayed data. With <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-a normal<\/span>, the colons which separate the display titles from their values are aligned vertically. With <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-a left<\/span>, all the output is left justified. <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">ID<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 0 25px;\">Must be a valid Issue number.<\/p>\n<h3>NOTES<\/h3>\n<p>Use the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">evfields<\/span> command with the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-g<\/span> option to generate a sample <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">get.txt<\/span> file. This file may then be modified and saved as <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">$HOME\/.evget<\/span>, to specify the default fields to be displayed by <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">evget<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h3>EXAMPLE 1<\/h3>\n<p><code>$ evget 10200<br \/>\nAssigned To: Internal IS Support<br \/>\nCategory:<br \/>\nChanged by: Bill Smith<br \/>\nComments: 6\/30\/04 System Administrator This needs to be fixed quickly<br \/>\nDate Created: 1\/7\/04<br \/>\nDescription: Round corners, square edges, measure once<br \/>\nDocumentation Impact:<br \/>\nID #: 10200<br \/>\nLast Modified: 7\/23\/04<br \/>\nOperating System:<br \/>\nOriginator: Guest User<br \/>\nPriority: P 3<br \/>\nProduct: Tracker Enterprise<br \/>\nReproducible:<br \/>\nResolution:<br \/>\nSeverity: Low<br \/>\nStatus: Open<br \/>\nTitle: Metal mounting bracket is too short<br \/>\n$<\/code><\/p>\n<h3>EXAMPLE 2<\/h3>\n<p><code>$ evget -r 10200<br \/>\n&lt;?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;problem_record&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;id title=\"ID #\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[10200]]--&gt;&lt;\/id&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;date_created title=\"Date Created\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[1\/7\/04]]--&gt;&lt;\/date_created&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;timestamp title=\"Last Modified\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[7\/23\/04]]--&gt;&lt;\/timestamp&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;category title=\"Category\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[]]--&gt;&lt;\/category&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;originator title=\"Originator\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[Guest User]]--&gt;&lt;\/originator&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;last_change_user title=\"Changed by\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[Bill Smith]]--&gt;&lt;\/last_change_user&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;short_descr title=\"Title\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[Metal mounting bracket is too short]]--&gt;&lt;\/short_descr&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;product_name title=\"Product\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[Tracker Enterprise]]--&gt;&lt;\/product_name&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;priority title=\"Priority\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[P 3]]--&gt;&lt;\/priority&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;status title=\"Status\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[Open]]--&gt;&lt;\/status&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;assigned_to title=\"Assigned To\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[Internal IS Support]]--&gt;&lt;\/assigned_to&gt; &lt;resolution title=\"Resolution\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[]]--&gt;&lt;\/resolution&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;os title=\"Operating System\"&gt;&lt;\/os&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;severity_level title=\"Severity\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[Low]]--&gt;&lt;\/severity_level&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;dev_reproducible title=\"Reproducible\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[]]--&gt;&lt;\/dev_reproducible&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;description title=\"Description\"&gt;&lt;!--[CDATA[Round corners, square edges, measure once ]]--&gt;&lt;\/description&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;comments title=\"Comments\"&gt;&lt; !--[CDATA[6\/30\/04 System Administrator This needs to be fixed quickly ]]--&gt;&lt;\/comments&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;document_impact title=\"Documentation Impact\"&gt;&lt; !--[CDATA[ ]]--&gt;&lt;\/document_impact&gt; &lt;\/problem_record&gt;<br \/>\n$<\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Displays the data for one issue SYNOPSIS evget [-r] [-c &#8220;field1, field2, &#8230; fieldn&#8221;] [-f myfile.txt] [-a ] ID DESCRIPTION This command displays field data for a single issue.
