Pop-up position

Submitted by WayneK on 2016/10/24 20:29
I use pop-up lists to assign categories.  I've noticed that no matter where my Infoqube window is positioned, the pop-up always comes up at the far upper right of my main monitor.  Is there any way to tweak this so the pop-up occurs closer to where I'm actually working (preferably right next to the relevant cell)?

Instead of Mantis?

Submitted by viking on 2016/10/23 21:46
I am a long time Ecco / Ecco Extension user and am trying to decide if I should switch to IQ. This would be a big step for me and I need to make sure that IQ has the important functionality that I use daily in Ecco. 
 
In the past, if a feature was missing or buggy in IQ, I could check Mantis to see if it was planned to be implemented / fixed in the near future. Now it seems like Mantis is no longer used? Is there an alternative now? Any way to see what is planned (with an ETA)?
 
p.s. Anyone knows why Firefox spell checker doesn't work in this Forum? It shows the error with red underline, but right-clicking to get suggestions doesn't work :
 
 

Send to InfoQube using EmailToIQ

What is it all about...

Sometimes, you want to capture some information and you are either not at your computer, or InfoQube is not running or you're using a mobile device.
The EmailToIQ feature really comes in handy in these situations.
 
The basic principle is to configure IQ to poll a special email address and import any new content.
Importing information into IQ is then as simple as emailing the desired content. As a bonus, this content is also in your emails, searchable on all your devices.

1. Step 1: Create a new email address

This is the address you'll be sending information to, and which IQ will poll. It is best if it serves this sole purpose, so create a new email address.

Images won't display in grid

Submitted by WayneK on 2016/10/22 13:02
I've been working on customizing colors.  I have a few questions.
 
1) I created a list of new colors in a grid, each with an image of that color as a sub-item.  After I closed and re-opened InfoQube, the images no longer appear.  Instead, I have only file names (eg ItemID5738.jpg).  Why won't the images display?
 
2) The default colors display as a vertical list of named colors.  I replaced this with my own custom list using the same format (Yellow1|&h00FFFF| etc).  Instead of displaying in a vertical list of named colors, I get two rows of unnamed colors:

while typing in cell, the cell becomes inactive and has to be reactivated for editing

When I am entering text in the Item field, I often press Enter to finish that item, and continue typing to enter text in the Item field in a new item.
 
Lately, however, I have encountered an annoying problem.  After I enter just a few characters in the Item field in the new item, IQ exits "editing mode" and goes into "navigation mode".  The cell I was editing suddenly changes to the "selected items back color".  So, to continue entering text in the cell, I have to reactivate the cell for editing.  Now, I can do this simply by continuing to type, but it causes problems for me.
 
I think it has something to do with the Properties Pane.  I haven't seen it happen when the Properties Pane is not open.

How do I arrange Grids (like in Ecco)?

Submitted by viking on 2016/10/20 17:53
In Ecco, I have setup my main Window with 4 views in 4 quadrants:
 
ToDos: Top Left                                       Phonebook: Top Right
Appointments:  Bottom Left                      References: Bottom Right
 
How do I arrange 4 IQ grids in this manner?
I am able to stack them on top of each other, but I can't figure out how to make two of them (e.g. bottom two) floating so that I can move them to the right?

Submitted by Pierre_Admin on 2016/10/19 18:05
Hi IQ Users,
  
In this release (v0.9.84):
  • New: Grid: Outline Styles are now applied to groups when Group By is ON. This makes the groups and grouping levels stand out.
  • New: Grid: If item is already expanded, Item > Expand now expands sub-items
  • New: PopUp editor now supports superscript and subscripts
  • New: Field properties: Can now specify the list of grids to apply the conditional formats (list of grid names, separated by | )
  • New: Properties pane: Ctrl + Shift + # to expand / collapse a branches
  • New: Properties pane: Context menu to show

Fields

In InfoQube, essentially ALL information is stored in fields, in either System fields, or User-Defined fields.
  • There are 4 field types:
    • Text
    • Yes / No
    • Number
    • Date
       
  • A field is identified by its ID (auto-generated unique number) and its name (which must also be unique).
     
  • Fields have many properties and these can be viewed / modified using the Field Management Dialog
