How to automatically fill the item field with the "last name" and "first name" of a contact ?

Submitted by Armando on 2010/05/23 20:54
I took an excerpt from that thread Import customizations where I explain how to merge a FirstName and LastName fields into the item field (... while preventing accidental deletion of the item data when the item is not a contact... that's just a bonus, but an important one IMO).

This shouldn't take you more than 5-10 min.

IMPORTANT & REALLY ANNOYING <solved by the boss>

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2010/05/23 19:39
 Pierre, I've reported this before.
When I'm working on my desktop, the following problem does NOT exist but when I work on my netbook, it DOES exist & it is very annoying & frustrating. 
I write a lot of articles & take a lot of notes @ mtgs in the HTML pane
When text gets to the bottom of the screen, no vertical scroll bar appears & the text doesn't move up properly.
The last line of text is half hidden so it's hard to keep track of where I am, what I'm writing & what I'm thinking.
I have to add several carriage returns to add space below the last line so I can continue working.
 
This is really annoying as it breaks my whole train of thought while I futz around with this.
 
Please, please fix it soon.
 
Thank you.
 
Your annoyed but loyal fan.

(IMPORTANT) Copy / Paste (XML) seems to be broken.

I'm trying to copy paste templates in my DB, and works completely ramdomly.
 
1- Copy a few fairly deep trees of items
2- Paste them under another parent (as NEW items)
 
What happens ?
Here, only a few get pasted.
 
I thought it was my clipboard manager, but it's not.
 
 
Can anybody confirm ? Thanks.

Import customizations

Submitted by modeerf on 2010/05/23 14:06
I've looked and really don't see anything that addresses what I want to do.
 
I was a long time Ecco user but left it a few years ago and have tried everything to replace it, but have found nothing yet. I want to give IQ a shot.
 
I've played with it for a few weeks and I'm getting a decent idea of how to work with it, I've borrowed from other's templates and I'm really about to create 'my database' that will work for me. But I need to load some data in to get started.
 
I want to start with my contact database. My goal is to create a grid that will list contacts with item being lastname, firstname but the csv to import from has them both in separate field. Is it possible on the import to have it fill item with lastname without editing my underlying CSV?
 
thanks

Conditional Formatting based on indent level.

Submitted by chapa on 2010/05/22 22:26
I am trying to use conditional formatting based on the indent level, so I tried the following on the  Item field:
 
' Use a larger text size for items that are at the root level in the outline.
Criteria:  nbParents=0
Formats: ItemTextSize=35
 
This doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have a workaround?
 
Thanks,
Chapa

Field option to prevent a field to be copied

Submitted by Armando on 2010/05/20 21:40
 
Could an option to prevent a field to be copied be useful?
 
I previously used the readonly "defect" in my IQMinutes DB to be able to copy paste a template while skipping some fields -- but this won't work anymore, of course. I can manage (with auto-assign options...), but this occurred to me like a potentially useful feature, like for "templates" copy/paste.
 
e.g. : John wants to copy a template. The template grid has a special "template" marker. When he copies that template and pastes it to another grid, it loses its template marker so that the copied version isn't considered a template anymore. The template marker can be read, but not copied.
 
Like I said, a workaround can be achieved with some special "A:" autoassign rules (like : "A:template=" in a specific source field).

Manage fields dialog : When a field is created, it's not possible to edit anything in the "Editor" section

Submitted by Armando on 2010/05/20 21:18
When a field is created, it's not possible to edit anything in the Editor section -- the pop-up list is locked, etc..
One needs to switch to another field and come back to the newly created field.

Ecco import problems

Submitted by Jon on 2010/05/20 11:18
Using pre-release 24. A few Ecco import problems remain:
 
1. If I choose to import selected TLIs and subs, all ECCO folders are imported. Empty ones should not be imported since I have the relevant option unchecked.
2. I can correctly import (see #1) only if I use the analyze option.
2. Trying to import with Import Ecco Item ID unticked sometimes causes IQ to close unexectedly.
