Seems like that the null=0 spec is only for certain calculations as (even when null=0) if I put a filter condition like x<100 in a grid, items with nothing (null) in a fieldwon't appear, as if they were not = 0 but really NULL. This is expected only if null=o is only true in certain cases... Like horizontal calculations.

 

Maybe a note or popup in the manage field dialog ?

"Enter" used to work to immediately display selected items (from the quick search grid), but the new dialog doesn't allow that anymore.

properties pane context menu (right click on a filed there) should propose "Show Field Management dialog" instead of... "Show Field properties" ?

 

Just to avoid confusion, I really think that  "Show Field Management dialog" should be used even if "Show field properties" is not bad per se.

 

But maybe is it just me ....

 

 

If it's not clear, I can explain.

 

When "context parents" is on, this would allow better grouping of items coming from the same or similar context.

right now these similar actions require different UI process, which feels awkward. I think that for intuitiveness and coherence, this should be streamlined.

 

Creating new Fields is more intuitive than creating new grids and editing them, IMO.

This is disturbing as it allows 2 clicks to prevent focus jumping : first click to move focus, second to expand or collapse the hierarchy.

 

To test :

 

1- select an item at the bottom of a big grid with some collapsed hierarchies

2- go at the top of your grid, expand a hierarchy.

 

IQ will jump (scroll) back to the previously focussed item which isn't practical.

 

It's been like that for a while. Thought I'd mention it and add it to mantis.

I know I know this, but I don't use it often enough. How do I filter on fields that are populated by pop up lists?

 

Thanks.

 In a relational database of two tables: legal concepts & cases, there is a many-to-many relationship. One legal concept (right against self incrimination, for example) may be related to many cases, and one case maybe related to many legal concepts.

 

In InfoQube I have created two "grids" (tables), one for Legal Concepts (with no fields) and one for Cases with several fields (case name, citation, date, jurisdiction, court, and judge). What makes InfoQube wonderful is how easily records within a database can be easily manipulated in an outline metaphor. But somehow I need to be able to relate multiple cases to one Legal Concept and its progeny (siblings and siblings of siblings, etc)

 

Any ideas would be appreciated
