Exporting appointments from IQ back into Ecco(Ext)

Submitted by LeftEccoForIQ on 2019/03/10 08:16
Hey. Since Ecco in connection with MyPhoneExplorer still provides a working sync solution to Android, and IQ isn't quite there yet, I was wondering if anyone has experimented with transferring calendar event / appointment data from IQ back into Ecco in order to sync with an Android device?
 
I tried some copy and paste with column info included but couldn't get the column values to be put where they belong in Ecco. They either ended up inside the item text or didn't show up anywhere at all. Nothing ended up being put into columns in Ecco at any rate.
 
Now I'm thinking CSV export from IQ and import into Ecco might be the way to go but wanted to see if anyone here has any experience before I experiment further.
 
Thanks!

A few thoughts on how things have developed

Submitted by Paul_J_Miller on 2019/03/07 06:09
As InfoQube becomes more suitable for the purposes for which I use it I find myself relying on it more and more.
 
This was not always the case, I tried InfoQube several times before I finally understood it.  Those first attempts were frustrating.
 
With the advent of a decent customisable editor (this was before the new 'Item Editor' dialog) which supports CSS sheets I find myself using it for the composition of documents and as such it has taken over from Scrivener.  Of course InfoQube does not have all the formatting and publishing facilities of Scrivener but it has enough to be useful and the tables are now better than in Scrivener.  Having the note taking and document editing in the same application is useful, the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.  In my opinion reading, writing and taking notes https://takingnotenow.blo

Group by bar/by sort column issue

Submitted by Armando on 2019/03/06 19:44
Hi Pierre,
 
When grouping by sort columns/by bar, pressing the ctrl+# shortcut to collapse or expand hierarchies completely removes the currently focused group(s).
It used to work fine, and stopped at some point -- not sure when.
 
1- Group some grid content by sort columns
2- Press ctrl+shift+1 to collapse all groups -- that should work
3- Focus on some "group level"
4- Press ctrl+2 to see the second level (in that case all it should do is show what's in that specific "column group") : the group just disappears.
 
Tell me if that's clear enough.
 
Thanks!

Columns Not Displaying Correctly

Submitted by jnmwarren on 2019/03/06 17:14
I created a new IQ Base let's call it A. In A I created 2 new Fields of 1 and 2. Then I created 2 new grids of A' and B'. In grid A' I have 3 columns for the item, 1, and 2 fields all with data in them. In grid B' I have 3 columns as well. I am using two of the same columns of fields 1 and 2. I would expect that the data for fields 1 and 2 on grid A' would auto fill the same fields in B'. This is not the case. The fields of 1 and 2 in grid B' are blank. Does anyone know why or why not?

Gantt always there

Hi Pierre!
 
Not too active here these days, but here's a little bug bugging me, proving that I'm still relying on IQ every day to get my stuff done...
 
In a given grid, I cannot get rid of the Gantt completely.
 
1- In a grid workspace (not sure about the terminology anymore) focus on a Grid with an active Gantt. (In pics 1 and 2, there are 2 grids side by side, and the left one has the focus)
2- Hide Gantt (pic. 1).
3- Move the right grid border to the right,
4- the Gantt appears again (pic. 2).

Newbie questions

Hi there,
I've been a heavy EccoPro user for 20-odd years and now I'm starting a project in IQ and I like it a lot, but still struggle with some of the differences. If I get it right IQ Fields correspond to a large extent to Folders in Ecco. There seems to be one major difference - you can organize Folders hierarchically, which with dozens of them gets quite handy - is there a way to do that with Fields?
 
I am also puzzled by a screenshot in IQ documentation which shows a tab bar on the left margin. I suspected it might be tab that could toggle among different workspaces/grid sets - is this true? I haven't found any way to show it in the menus. What is it and how do I control it?
 
 
Thanks a lot!
Pavel
 

can I only allow certain FORM(s) to apply to an Item ?

Submitted by seanlu21 on 2019/03/01 07:26
Hi, it is useful to have 'Property' panel opened on the right side of IQ.
 
However, not all forms are required, or needed for a item, for example, if the item is a contact infomation, then the 'contact', 'call' forms may help or may be required to use; but not for the 'GTD' , 'Finance' , 'invoice'  forms.
 
So my question is can we choose what forms to display on the property panel for different items ?
 
Regards
Sean

Can doc pane have a button quick set <code> tag? something like Bold, Italic, Underline do.

Submitted by wenmin92 on 2019/02/28 22:32
The format Toolbar has many format commands, like Bold, Italic, Underline and so on.
These command just quick add tags for convenience.
<code> tag is also very important and common. See below, these were manual added. doing this is very slow, troublesome, and cumbersome. 
I think there should be a button for this. Many WYSIWYG Editor already had.
 
Thanks.

Document pane charset issue

Submitted by Pavel on 2019/02/27 10:18
 Hi there,
there seems to be a problem with the document pane handling of the PC language settings. My PC locale is set to English and when I put some Eastern European characters into the document pane, they are only displayed correctly until I leave the item. On return to it they are mangled. Same in HTML mode. The text in the grid has no such problems.
