placed caches - attributes

Question

Can someone confirm for me -
On a cachers 'Hides' tab, (that is caches they own). Towards the bottom of that page is the attribute list .... 
If the attribute 'Needs maintenance' has a figure underneath 
a) Is this the number of caches that currently have that attribute ? does this change when the cacher updates the caches with Owner maintenance Logs (thus removing the attribute) 

b) Does this include archived caches that would presumably have been archived while that attribute was in place.

Also Is there a quick way of identifying how many active caches have this attribute 

Thanks

Tim

Answer 1

a) I have previously had a cache I owned reported as "needs maintenance", but my stats show 0 for that attribute, so it seems that the attribute counts are current attributes.

b) The Hides tab includes all caches you've hidden, so I assume it would.

If you're a paying member of PGC, you can use a custom filter on Map Compare to find your active caches with the attribute. Go to your username in the top-right and select "Custom filters". Create a new filter, adding statement(s) for Basic: Cache Owner = (you) and Attributes: Needs maintenance (add as required). Then do a Map Compare and add this custom filter.

Thank you - searching for my own caches isnt an issue -
Can a search be done for caches with a NM for another cacher

If you're using that approach, you can put in whichever user you want into the custom filter.

Answer 2

The hide cache attribute counts are the current counts of attributes. Yes, hide attribute counts do include archived caches.
