I thought I'd gather together a summary of current situation with WikiTags: problems & possible solutions.

Currently it looks like it works with or w/o braces & I have utilized both styles but I'd like to standardize them. 

Therein lies my problem(S).

 

I can change the wikitag field w/o a problem; it adds to the drop down list

But I don't know which way to go, i.e.

 See attachment

How do I create a template that looks like this:

 

 

and get it to load up automatically.  I got this by clicking about haphazardly and got exactly what I wanted, but I don't know what I did.

 

TIA for your help.

 

Hi,

Would anybody know why Advanced Find is suddenly returning all 8,144 Items in my IQ database instead of the searched-for item?  It was working fine one or two days ago, but bresumably a setting somewhere has changed, but I wouldn't have a clue what, where or how?

thanks to anybody who can help

Would it be possible to have a 'Clear' button on the tagged items heading in the properties pane?

 

I know you can right click the area with the tagged items and select clear list, but it seems to be an operation that is used enough to maybe make a button worthwhile.

Hi all. I'm curious if there's a way, or any additional interest apart from mine in a way, to qualify a field so that it is upwardly inheritable. My particular wish is to have it that when a box is checked for a given item, that that checking would be reflected in the item's parents and grandparents as well. That way I can browse on a higher level and know that a given parent has at least one child with a given attribute. Doable or maybe not worth it?

1- in a grid, I focus on an item which has a multiple parents, not present in the grid.

2- I click on the parent name in the "parents" section of the properties pane,

2- the scratch pane opens as it should but there's (often) a display problem.

 

It happens about 70% of the time.

 

Here's what I see :

 

Using the parent <-> child relationship to create links between items has a lot of advantages :

 

1- you can directly see the items when they're linked (below the parent, or using the context parent, or just looking at the properties pane)

2- all parents or children are visible in the properties pane,

3- you can transfer data from one item to the other through inheritance or column equations,

etc.

 

However, some of these strengths are also weaknesses. One of them : if an item has multiple parents, which themselves are children of multiple parents, etc. column equations can rapidly spiral out of control and IQ's performance decreases dramatically. This is a big problem in my DB now. Sometimes an operation on 1 item takes 15s !

I meant to say it for at least 2 weeks... So, here !

Did you guys notice ? Now the column filter buttons, when ON (Grid menu -> column filter -> click on "Column filter button"), auto hide when the mouse is over the column header. Very convenient. I can now have my narrow columns AND also the button when I need it. Better then having to right click and then choose the right option in the context menu.
