I would like to make this filter: Only show subitem if the item is the main parent of that given subitem.

 

First usage scenario: I have a first grid (Books) in which the itens are books and the subitems are notes about those books; and a second grid (Thesis) in which the items are chapters of my thesis, and subitems are my paragraphs. Then I make some of the subitems from Books grid children of some of the items of the Thesis grid, as second parents. That's the structure, but, sometimes, I want to look at the Thesis grid and view only the chapters and paragraphs, without the book notes.

A possible workaround would be to autoassign a field to every item of Books grid and then filter by this field(EDIT: the best way to deal with this scenario is filtering by Item Home).

I dont want to sort all sub-items -- just a subset of them.

Requesting a 'Sort selected' option (ideally available in the context menu).

 

I dont think that can be done?

Maybe it's getting too complicated -- sort by what?

Me,

I'd be happy with a simple A-Z ascending/descending as per sub-items sort.

How do I set the default value for a Yes/No field.

 

I need this field to default to Yes unless I set it to No.

 

I have tried setting the default value field to Yes, YES, True, TRUE and -1 but whenever I create a new item this field is always blank (no) unless I click it which is the opposite of what I want.

 

This is not covered in the manual.

 

Hi!

Color coding can be very useful when dealing with lots of information, and that's why the Highlighter tool is an important part of my workflow.

In InfoQube there are parent/child relationships.

I would find it useful to have another type of relationship which is a reference to another item that is not a parent or a child but just a related item.  Like background information or 'see also'.

I need to find and edit a subitem under the item "Wood Projects for the Garden".  I find it using the column filter:

 

I've been meaning to share this blogpost for quite some time now.

 

"Spreadsheets are not just tools for doing “what-if” analysis. They provide a specific data structure: a table. Most Excel users never enter a formula. They use Excel when they need a table. The gridlines are the most important feature of Excel, not recalc.

Word processors are not just tools for writing books, reports, and letters. They provide a specific data structure: lines of text which automatically wrap and split into pages.

PowerPoint is not just a tool for making boring meetings. It provides a specific data structure: an array of full-screen images. "

It seems that when I import text files they end up with some wierd formatting.

 

They are in Courier New in a very small point size, line spacing set to 1.5 lines and with no word wrap (which causes very long lines).

 

These files were plain text with no formatting, i.e. they just contained the 8 bit ASCII codes for the characters.  So the question is what determines the format of an imported text?  How can I change it and how can I get the word wrap back?

 

 I am unclear from the manual what to actually do with grid groups. I think it's just implying it's show a subset of your numerous grids in a named group, then click the grid you're interested in.

The way I use it is to quickly load multiple grids from the properties pane. (From the home page requires switching back and forth)

For example, I click AdrsBook, then Categories, Daily,Inbox,InfoQube,QuickNotes,Todo and finally To-Do's, and they are all quickly loaded (except for grids triggering the annoying over 1000 warning).

 

1) Am I missing some other obvious uses for grid groups?

2) Is there another InfoQube capability to load multiple grids I'm not aware of?

 

 Please consider making the grid item count warning both configurable and able to be disabled.

After a lot of heavy usage recently, I have a considerable number of grids that end up with qtys of 11xx, 15xx, occasionally 2000-3000. The warning slows me down.

I am more than willing to wait 5 seconds for them to load to show everything. And if it was configurable, personally I would set the limit at probably 3000 or so.

One example of a large grid is the daily journal file, with 1200 entries from the last 10 years. I have no problem whatsoever with a 5 second load time, and I really want to see everything to start.
