click 2x properties to gather items assigned to that field

When doing this, all items w that property are displayed however
some are TLI's & some are children / grandchildren, etc. but are not immediately visible, i.e.
user than has to go to each of these items & click down to find assigned item
 
I think it would be easier if these items were immediately exposed

Gantt / project management documentation - where is it?

Submitted by gregory on 2010/08/05 17:48
Hello and sorry for a long silence on my part.
 
I'm back with a simple question: where are the Gantt view and project management facilities documented? And why are they so hard to find?
 
There's a linked issue: when I search the manual using the term gantt view (or similar), I am informed that there are several pages of entries. However, I can only access the first page of such entries. Clicking on next or page 2, etc. returns the first page again.

Problems with URLs not working in the forum/manual/site

Submitted by Tom on 2010/08/05 07:47
 
There's a recurring problem with URLs not working in the site - does  anyone know exactly why this happens and how it can be corrected?
 
1) one thing that happens is:
 
the link looks okay - but when I click it, instead of getting e.g.
I get
-
the 'drupal5 is stripped out, resulting in a 404 cant be found error
 
2) Another problem is the page simply says:
You do not have access to view this node
 
this may have been resolved elsewhere but I found it difficult to narrow down the search
 
 
Currently an example of both can be seen in the first post in this thread Backup - Backing up IQbase. I dont know is this a 'permanent' problem (i.e.

Mobile access through Dropbox-like services

Submitted by Pierre_Admin on 2010/08/04 17:11
Full sync between an IQBase and your mobile device is planned, but in waiting, let us consider this setup:
  1. An IQBase in a Dropbox folder
  2. A mobile device with the Dropbox app (IPhone, IPad, BB, Android)
  3. Whenever a grid is closed (or through a command) an HTML Export equivalent file is generated (filename=grid name)
This means that the content of each grid would be available as an HTML file (with expand/collapse buttons, columns, optional HTML content) and accessible using the Dropbox app on your mobile
 
One could get local copy of
  1. Appointments
  2. Tasks
  3. Contacts
  4. and the content of all other grids
And since the Dropbox app can store local copies of online files, no need to be connected to view the information
 
Interesting isn't ?

How to add text to a text field - using keyboard - in the properties pane?

Submitted by Tom on 2010/08/03 07:29
 
How do I add text to a text field in the properties pane using the keyboard only ?
 
Scenario:
I want to add text to the beginning of the text field in the properties pane.
The text field has some content already. I press F2 to edit, text is selected -
pressing any arrow key - or the home or end keys - bring you to the previous or the next field. I dont see any other way of getting to the beginning of that text.
In fact, there doesnt seem to be any way to add text at all without erasing the selected content unless you do a mouse-click
 
is there any other route other than resorting to a mouse-click ?
 

Backup - Backing up IQbase

Discussion re backup started in this thread: load / save layouts doesn't save horizontal grids layout
 
[quote=Pierre_Admin]
> well my IQ auto-backups are timestamped and tend to take up a lot of space.
 
True, but if you use dropbox, you can turn off timestamped backups and let it keep all changes to the backup file (.SNBKA and .SNBKM)
 
> Am I correct in thinking that currently nothing can copy the IQbase while it's in use?
 
No. The OS can copy the file, no problem.
