Item Home

Items in InfoQube are like individuals, you and me. They have characteristics (field-values), parents and children (sub-items).

Until now however, items didn’t really have a “Home”.
Setting an item as a Favorite did set the ItemHomeGrid which was later on used when showing the item, but that was good for only a small number of items. Favorites being shown in a drop-down menu, it is a good idea to limit its use somewhat.

Items now have a real “Home”:

  • Homes are automatically assigned, on item creation
  • Default Home is the view where the item was created
  • The Home can be changed at anytime

Currently, the Homes can be:

  • Any Grid
  • The IQ Calendar
  • The IQ Surface
  • From EmailToIQ
     

1. Viewing Item Home

The item Home can be viewed in the Properties pane and in grids.

Help connecting gmail to IQ

Submitted by Tom on 2017/01/05 07:11
 
  • I created a new gmail account for IQ
  • Verified that it's working (has received email from another address)
  • Enabled imap in settings
I added the details as instructed on 2. Send To InfoQube using EmailToIQ :-
2-Step verification is ON (Recommended): Create an application specific password.
It is this application specific password you'll enter in the IQ dialog below.
As a bonus, should you change your main mail account password (recommended every few months), IQ will not require re-connection since it is using an application specific password

Storage Question

Submitted by David_H on 2017/01/04 23:23
Why do some items indicate in the property values section where local storage is for the item, but other items do not? As an example an MHT file displays the location.  However attachments sent via EmailToIQ do not.  Is it practical/feasible to make that more consistent?  Not a big deal, but would be nice if easy/possible to implement.
 
Thanks
 
 

Email to IQ - Very Useful

Submitted by David_H on 2017/01/04 22:38
Anyone not using this should give it a try, it's very useful.  I have a dedicated Gmail account I use for it, everything sent to that account gets synced into my IQ Inbox.  Pierre recently added the ability for IQ to receive attachments, so you can now include pics or recordings.  When I don't want to type on my phone I'm using a simple android app for short voice dictations and emailing them into IQ.  Of course I could also use voice to text and email that way, but there are still too many voice rec errors.

Date Filters

Submitted by David_H on 2017/01/04 17:30
Do any of the menu date filters work on non-calendar grids?  Using the column date filter can be a little laborious depending on what you're trying to accomplish and it would often be nice to have a toolbar date filter that allows the user to select "today" or pull up a mini calendar to quickly filter to a day.  However the date filters I've tried seem to only be related to the calendar.
 
Thanks

Maintaining Seperate Settings for Different Computers

Submitted by David_H on 2017/01/01 23:15
Due to the resolution and size of my desktop (4K 50") versus laptop (15" 1920 x 1200) I would like to have things laid out differently for each.  I believe I read recently this was now possible, but I'm not sure how to enable it.  I know how to load layouts, but unless I'm mistaken, the last active layout still opens when I switch between machines, and if it's optimized for one won't be optimized for the other.
 
Whereas I want completely separate settings for each, for instance different column widths on my desktop versus my laptop.  How would I accomplish this?
 
Thanks
