Alternatives to drop-down field for multiple characteristics

Submitted by Tom on 2009/03/22 11:58
working today (taking time off later in week though!)
Also I'm sure this has been discussed before but I really didnt know what to search for.
 
I want to add various characteristics of items to a new field - I cant add more than one thing from a drop-down list to a field so I'm not sure "how-to"
It doesnt suit having a field for each characteristic (too many probably eventually)
 
I think the answer would probably be a simple text field
So say I use colours as an example -
 
Item #1  [blue green]
Item #2  [blue orange]
Item #3  [red green]
 
and then I can filter for blue in that field
I'll miss being able to sort but it's about time I learned how to filter properly!
 
or would this be a suitable oppurtunity to start using Wikitags?

form to grid

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/03/21 15:21
Is there a way to create a grid directly from a form besides drag / drop one item at a time from properties?
If not, why not?
If not, can / will it be considered?
 
I realize the form is for data entry but it seems to me that it could have multiple uses where -- for example -- a project requires its own grid but while the items may differ, the specific data, i.e.columns are required in each grid.
 
Thanks

flash frame

When copying data directly to IQ from FF -- i.e. not using <W>+N -- a flash frame of IQ appears over FF as  the data transfer is made. This is new in beta 10 03/21/09

How to put grids on bottom

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/03/21 10:21
I've lost / forgotten how to show a list of grids on the bottom of IQ's window, i.e. status bar area
 
Also how to move tabs to left edge like property , etc can be moved to right edge if not pinned.
 
Also is it / will it be possible to create a combination of  horizontal & verticle windows (to be memorized by IQ like URpro does at the current time)?
 
TIA

Pierre,
 
If user elects not to use Ecco type dot
IQ inserts an 'L" shaped line even for those items that don't have children
Would suggest in this case that the line be straight & only add extensions when there are children
IMHO it's a slightly confusing visual image the way it is
but -- not a big deal.
 
Thanks.
