Alternatively, you may be taken directly to a specific logbook. By default you will see the latest entry, but the administrator may have defined a different "<I>default view</I>" for the logbook, like the list of the day's entries, or the last 10 entries, etc. (depending on what is most convenient for that logbook's purpose).

Copy the URL for that result page from your browser, and use that as the target for your link.
