auto assignment - maybe a glitch

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/06/13 15:43
I have what I call a GTD grid.
I have attached it's properties
 
Situation:
 
As soon as I add a new item IQ is immediately assigning it to a GTD_Pndg field
I don't understand why.
 
Item field has the following auto-assign equation:
AM:GTD_Pndg=HasKeyword(Item,"Lmsg",-1)|E:GTD_Pndg=|AM:GTD_Pndg=HasKeyword(Item,"wcb",-1)|E:GTD_Pndg=|AM:GTD_FoloUp=HasKeyword(Item,"call",-1)|E:GTD_FoloUp=
 
Can someone plse explain why this is happening.
 
Thank you.

Auto assignment - day of week

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/06/13 11:08
Pierre, you provided me this nifty equation
<source>SELECT ItemID, Format([Date],"ddd") AS DayFROM ¯qDate;</source>
 
which translates the date to a day of the week in a 2nd field
 
My assumption is that this equation sez
  • IQ -- select the focused item source ID
  • check for a date column
  • if present
  • format column date in format 'day of week'
This equation resides in a field named "Day"
 
I have an appointments grid and I have a GTD grid
 
in the appt grid, I have fields "apptdate" and "day"
the equation works well here however
I must refresh grid before day of week is inserted in the "day" field
 
In the GTD grid, I have fields "date" and "day"
the equation does not work in this grid

Global variables?

Submitted by markfoley on 2009/06/12 20:46
 Is there any way to set a variable globally, which could be referenced in auto assign rules, code, etc?  Eg myname = "Mark Foley".  I couldn't see one about.
 
The use I'm thinking of would be to be able to have a little box with the globals you want in it, and you could for example put your  'attendees' in the text box and it would use that value to put in certain fields, etc rather than editing it deep in the dialogs.  Those boxes could float in a little window, or be part of the toolbars.
 
Inheritance gets you around this to some extent I think (thats how I do it now) but it would be a good one to consider for keeping out of the advanced UI when doing simple things.
 
Cheers

Pop up list - another problem

Submitted by Jon on 2009/06/12 18:18
I have the pop up list set up and working. Several hours later, I want to add to the contents of the pop up list, so I go to the Auto assignment box under equations. It is blank. I did not delete the contents, nor did I fool around with this field (or any other) between the time I created this field and the time I wanted to modify it.
 
Any ideas?
