Using a netbook, standard setup, latest IQ buld

 

Situation: @ a mtg, taking notes in html pane and needed to scroll down but couldn't find verticle scroll  bars either for IQ or pane. Odd. Can anyone test this on a netbook.  Tks.

Pierre, my experience mirrors Armando's description. Could you take a look at this. I take my netbook to all mtgs, take notes in html pane & am frustrated / confused every time.

 

Thanks.

Hi Pierre,

 

Currently, the tasks/projects related "efforts" are null when a task/project doesn't have a duration. Plus, "effort" has a fixed "scale" (days).

 

It would nice and would allow more personal (and efficient in my case) use if efforts could :

 

1- have a definable scale (e.g. :  1 = 8.3%, so that I could use it to build the graphic on an hourly scale instead of a day scale that doesn't mean much to me outside of long term projects -- nbr of hours per day seems spent on a project seems like a better effort indicator...)

 

2- be displayed in the effort graph even if the task doesn't show a duration in the gantt chart (the black diamond in the gantt).

Doesn't need more explnations I think...

 

When Gantt Overview is on, "multi level" column headers (set in manage grid dialog) are partly hidden.

When  I use the gantt chart, I'm plagued with all kings of errors of that type :  "Wrong number of arguments"  "invalid property assignment"

 

 

Here's an example of my functions :

 

Nothing more to say --- When no grid is loaded : manage grid dialog is dysfunctional (half empty and not possible to edit all grid properties).

Gantt : after setting non-working hours, IQ freezes when tryin to open the Gantt panel.

 

This doesn't seem to happen in an empty DB (there are other problems mentioned in another post though)

 

Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this... Seems like gantt chart doesn't like some of my data. I'd appreciate some help as I can't use that useful feature.

 

Thanks.

I don't know why it happens sometimes and not others, but I suspect that some settings are kept only until the gantt pane is shown by the grid -- and then if some item hours (taskactend-start) don't match with  the  "non working hours" being set in the management dialog, settings are erased.

 

In any case, it's only one of the problems linked to the grid management window (like : some changes don't stick when they are made in the grid management dialog and the modified grid is opened in the background). All these need too be sorted out as they are super time consuming.

 

 

Some confirmation for these grid management dialog problems should be confirmed.

In the 'columns' section of the grid properties dialogue, there is a field for 'nb of locked columns' (see manual 3.2.20.3). Can someone please explain to me what these are? I ask because I was trying to find a way to set a column at a fixed width (namely, an 'itemhashtml' field, which I always have to manually adjust to display just the width of the yes/no box each time I open the grid). Cheers.

 

(edit): I have 'Auto-size width' checked, but it isn't coöperating.

Hi Pierre,

 

The "Can delete on Item move" function in the field management seems broken.

Normally its use is to delete an inherited value from a sub-item when it's moved. However, even if you move the parent (where the value was assigned by the user himself), is the value deleted... That shouldn't happen.

 

Steps :

1- Create a binary field called YesNo, and turn inheritance ON with the option  "Can delete on Item move" ON

 

Clearing out my inbox again lately I was moving a lot of items around the place.

I have a few queries and thoughts

 

with apologies if some of this has been discussed/requested before:

 

1)  Drag Item A to become a sub-item of Item B (in same grid or other 'tabgroup'/pane)

Item B expands to show all sub-items with Item A at the bottom of the list  [see also 1b & edits below]

 

    Item W

    Item X

    Item Y

    Item Z

    Item A

 

Now if you want to collapse Item B, AFAIK (excluding using the mouse) you have to arrow up to it and only then can you collapse it - am I correct there - see #2 below -
