  • Scale, either a % of the normal size or Fit to X by Y pages (recommended)

     
  • Copy as an image, to paste into other applications

It it possible to display an Item in the Calendar without going through the "Show In Calendar" dialog?

Submitted by ethanrox on 2016/03/28 15:31
The background to my question:
 
I have managed to remove an Item from the Calendar view by using an auto-assignment rule for a test field, that changes the read-only "ItemInCalendar" field to False which is very useful for me.
 
However, when the same process goes to make it ItemInCalendar="True" again, the Item does not re-appear in the Calendar, although the field changes correctly.
 

Performance - down in V73b [Seems to be back to normal in c!]

I know I told you, but want to make sure this will included/looked at for 70c as it makes a big difference and V70 was OK, performance wise.
Marking an item as done in 70b takes almost twice the time which makes operations with many items (100s) pretty slow. (in my slow DB anyways)
 

Number fields (and maybe other) : bug when entering values.

1- iF something is already there,  the first keystroke replaces what's there, then IQ selects it, and the second keystroke erases what was first inserted!
 
2- if nothing is there, the second keystroke appears before the first one!! 
 
Noticed that after a few problems in narrow columns where I didn't see that data wasn't entered properly.
 
Currently running plain vanilla V7073.

Smart Fields 

Smart fields are used in a number of programs, such as Zoot and EverNote. They are sometimes also called Saved Searches as in Ultra Recall.

How do I get Smart Fields to work?

Submitted by ethanrox on 2016/03/28 09:10
Currently testing the Smart Fields functionality, running the examlpe for URLLink field which should display "Link" pulling the data from the URL field.
 
I copy/pasted the example code to the options section in the URLLink Field Management from here:
  1. Name: URLLink
  2. Type: Text
  3. Options: <source>SELECT IIf([URL] Is Null,"","<A href='" & [URL] & "'>Link</A>") AS URLLink, ¯qURL.ItemID
    FROM ¯qURL
    WHERE (((¯qURL.FieldID)=15) AND ((¯qURL.URL) Is Not Null));
    </source>
I restarted InfoQube as suggested.
 
I get this error message when I refresh the grid
 

Row Equations do not update reliably?

Submitted by ethanrox on 2016/03/28 08:38
I am playing with some more advanced functionality - auto-assignment, row and column equations.
 
There is some strange behavior that I cannot reproduce, so I have to ask whether I do not understand it properly.
 
Running v72:
For row equations, I have defined two test fields (numerical). The one (A) being the input so to speak, and the other(B) using a row equation A+2 (proper syntax :) )
 
I got instant updates for a while and then it stopped working, forcing me to recalculate field B (shift+f9).
Now the only way to update the values of field B is through shift+f9.

Fails to Restore Grids

Submitted by WayneK on 2016/03/27 17:17
I thought there was a recent thread on this but I couldn't find one.  I've had an intermittent problem with grids failing to restore when I open a file.  InfoQube opens with a blank view with no grids displayed.  It doesn't happen every time by any means --- maybe 10%-20% of the time.
 
I upgraded to 9.73b and it just did it again.
