Home Grid

Submitted by WayneK on 2016/12/25 20:32
When I set up a hyperlink, I almost always want the linked item to open in its assigned grid, not in the scratch grid.  To accomplish this, much of the time I have to open the ItemHomeGrid field and manually assign the item to it.
 
I know this was discussed previously and I thought the assignment of home grids was going to be made automatic.  Why can't we have an item assigned to the grid that it's created in?   If it needs to be changed after that, it could be done manually.

Once a pane has been added to a tab/grid, it doesn't seem possible to remove it completely.

1- Open grid (A)
2- Open another grid (B) and "copy view"
3- "Paste" grid B in grid A
4- Save or close grid A and reopen it just to make sure grid B is still there, that everything is working as expected
5- Focus on the grid B pane (inside A), and close the pane (using "X" button at right of pane) so that grid A is now without any added panes
 5b- Grid A should now be a normal grid, without any panes.
 
6-Save and close grid A
7- Reopen grid A : the grid B pane reappears.

(didn't find any workaround, except replacing grid B with some other grid (like an empty one) or just closing the reappearing pane each time.)
 

Using Markdown documents

Each item can have a rich text document, which is typically shown in the Doc pane. That pane supports a number of different formats, one of which is Markdown documents.
 
To create a new Markdown:
  • Doc pane: Menu > File > New > New MarkDown file
  • Item Editor: New > New MarkDown file
You can then enter text using the Markdown syntax. Whenever the document is saved (or focus is moved to another item), IQ will generate the HTML version of the document
If you structure a large document into a hierarchy of small-sized items, use HTML Export to get a single HTML document.

Mobile App

Hi IQ Users,
 
Integration with mobile apps is becoming a real need for IQ. Native sync with Google Calendar and other calendaring services is in the works. Same for contacts (though work is pretty much on hold for now)
 
Now, what about general text / outline information, whether it represents notes, tasks, etc.

visual indication of when Grid pane is the active pane?

Submitted by jimspoon on 2016/12/18 06:58
It is easy to tell when the Properties Pane is the active pane - the thin pane header turns a different color (in my case, light orange).  The same is true of the HTML pane.
 
The grid pane does not have a pane header that turns a different color when it is active.
 
Is there some kind of visual indication that the Grid Pane is the active pane?
 
If not, could this be added?  The header right under the tabs could be used for this purpose - the header that shows the current source, filter, and sort.  For me it would be ideal if this header had the same active pane header color as the Properties and HTML panes.   Or the tab itself could be given the active color.
 

Hylerlinking somewhat broken (read on - probably related to hoist changes)

Submitted by Armando on 2016/12/17 14:08
Somethings now seems broken with the way hyperlinks open grids to show items.
(e.g. Scratch grid doesn't open with the right item(s) -- but the last one --, grids open not showing what it should, etc.)
 
I don't really have the time to debug more than that, but I think it's probably related to the new hoist stuff. (Changing small rather insignificant things isn't always that insignificant...  )

[v91a] Hiding # Column displays warning message, column back after closing and reopening the grid

Submitted by ethanrox on 2016/12/17 04:29
In 89 the # Column hides but with the following warning message.
 
 
I wound't mind that much but then when I close and reopen the grid - it is in the leftmost location again.
 
UPDATE:
Behavior remains in v91a portable - Screencast

Grid Display Modes

InfoQube has many display modes to help you manage your information in the most efficient manner
 
Grids can display items using one of 3 modes:
  1. Outline (Normal)
    Shows the outline (or hierarchy) of items and sub-items.
    If a parent item does not meet the grid source, it can still be shown (for context) if Grid > Context Parents is set
     
  2. Source items (Flat List)
    Sometimes the hierarchy gets in the way. For example when sorting items. A flat list is then very useful.
    Only items meeting the grid source (i.e. source, filter, etc.) are shown. If items have sub-items, a + expand button is shown.
     
  3. Source items (Tree View)
    This somewhat hybrid view shows the same list of items as the flat list, but arranged in a hierarchy whenever possible.
