Form Suggestions

Submitted by WayneK on 2018/07/29 12:18
This is a frequent task for me:
 
• Start with a "mixed topic" grid (eg Inbox) that contains a large number of items covering different topics.
• Create new topic grids and assign items to them so they can be cleared out of the "mixed topic" grid
• As new grids are created, assign the grid fields to a form to make it easier to move items to the new topic grids.
 
Since this is a common (at least for me) task that's tedious, I look for ways to make it go faster.  I have a couple of suggestions.
 
1) Allow grids to be dragged directly into forms.
 
I've said before that I find the process of adding fields to forms to be awkward.  I suggest adding the ability to directly drag a grid to the forms section and have the source field show up there.  Of course, it doesn't have to be a drag; it could

Grid Closing Problem

Submitted by WayneK on 2018/07/28 15:39
I created a new file using "save as" and am cleaning it up by deleting grids I no longer need.  I can't figure out why the following is happening:
 
1) Manage grids>right-click grid>delete
2) Save
 
When I perform the above steps, all my open grids close.  It's happened several times and I can't figure out why.

Hi IQUsers,
 
The IQ web hosting service (IX web hosting) is shutting down (acquired by Site 5) and it seems that this is being done in a very poor way.
 
What this means to us will be rebuilding this site, or a similar one, onto another server.
 
For you, it means that the community web site will soon be down. Please use the backup site until this issue is resolved: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/infoqube

No universal clipper?

Submitted by WayneK on 2018/07/26 16:45
Could someone clarify where we're at on using the clipper?  I know that the Firefox clipper stopped working when I updated to Firefox Quantum, but I was still able to use the universal clipper (though I had to manually copy/paste the url).
 
Since I've updated to InfoQube 109Pre6, the universal clipper stopped working, too.  Right now, I have no functioning clipper and have to do everything manually.

Search grid - can't scroll up to see first rows of grid

 You might want to test this out  I did a Live Search, and then clicked the "Show Items in Search Grid" button.  The items were displayed in the Search Grid but I was unable to scroll up to see the first 8 or so items at the top of the grid.  I was finally able to do so by pressing Ctrl+Shift+1 so that all subitems would be collapsed.  Then I was able to see all the items.
 
Using 109Pre6.
 
UPDATE: I just tried the "Show Items in Search Grid" button again, and this time everything was OK.  Now I notice that the item I couldn't scroll up past was a subitem at the 9th level (I know, it's nuts), and above it were the 8 levels of context parents.  It was those context parents I couldn't scroll up to see.  But now the 8 context parents displayed just fine.
 
Maybe this was just a case of some kind "user error".  http://www

"item created" column shows text pasted into "item" column (109Pre4)

Submitted by jimspoon on 2018/07/17 14:45
Weird little bug, but probably doesn't affect anything.
 
I pasted some text from several existing items into another location in the grid, creating a new item for each copied item.
 
I have the "Item Created" field in the Grid as a column, just to the right of the Item field.
 
After pasting, the "Item Created" column shows the same text I pasted into the Item field.
 
The Item Created field in the Values section does show the creation Date and Time as it should.
