Alignment request

Submitted by WayneK on 2017/07/15 11:37
For setting up tables in the grid, it would be useful to be able to set alignment of individual cells.  As far as I can tell, you can only set alignment globally (eg by column).  To get right alignment, I've been adding spaces in front of words, which is awkward at best.

Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks are supported in just about all UIs, shown as blue text: 
 

 
Hyperlinks can point to:
  1. Items
  2. Grids
  3. Grid sub-views (i.e. Card view, Map view, Timeline view, Pivot table / charts)
  4. Fields (to show all items with a value for that field)
  5. Tags (to show all items with that tag)
  6. WikiTags (shows all items that have a specific WikiTag)
  7. Files and folders
  8. URLs
  9. Outlook items (email, event, inbox, etc)

Batch convert item HTML content to MHT files?

Submitted by Armando on 2017/07/14 14:48
Hi Pierre,
 
Wondering if there's a relatively easy way to batch convert item's HTML content (from the HTML pane) to MHT files...?
 
(I normally clip stuff as MHT, but for some  reasons -- not sure why : I probably uncheck the "save as MHT" check box inadvertently and only notice it after a while :(  -- , I end up clipping as plain HTML. I now have around 350 items that I need to concert back to MHT)
 
Thanks!
 
**If anyone wonders why I prefer clipping as MHT. 2 reasons :
- MHT files are indexed by other desktop search engines (makes it much, much easier to search all references at once),
- I can easily comment them in MS Word.
 

Column Widths

Submitted by WayneK on 2017/07/13 14:34
Suggestions to make it easier to set multiple columns to same width.  Right now, you have to go to Add/Remove Columns and manually change the width of each column, one at a time.  If the resulting columns aren't wide enough, you have to go back and do each one again.
 
1) Allow selection and revision of multiple columns at same time in Add/Remove dialogue.
 
2) Add Excel capability: if you select multiple columns in grid view and drag the width of one, all the selected columns are set to that same width.
 
Let me know if there's another existing way to set multiple column widths.

Auto-number issues

Submitted by gregory on 2017/07/11 08:52
Two linked issues here.
 
  1. There is a facility to create the next number in a sequence by double-clicking on a numeric field. The first issue is that I can no longer find where that is documented.
  2. Second issue: this functionality no longer appears to work in version 0.9.98a. If I double-click in an empty field, a new number is assigned. However, when I navigate away from that field, the newly created value simply vanishes. If I double-click on a number previously created in an earlier version of InfoQube, or indeed if I just navigate to the field using arrow keys, the number is initially displayed but as I navigate out of the field it vanishes; the field becomes blank.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Sometimes relations between fields cannot be defined by a simple equation. In such cases, the user can write a user-defined function. The required parameters are passed to the function which calculates it output. For example, in the default template, the item color is automatically changed based on an Urgency value (itself calculated)

ItemColor =CalcColor( [Urgency] )

CalcColor is itself defined by a VBScript equation::

Function CalcColor(Urgency) ' calculation of the itemcolor color code based on the Urgency level

Can not import CSV file in to some mapped 'field's

Submitted by seanlu21 on 2017/07/09 04:36
 Hi, 
I am importing a list of items in a  csv file into a existed grid.
 
I followed by File/Import from/Non-hierarchit file,
In step 2 I had found all the mapping fields, including and strangely some fields name come with a " [  xxx ] "
then in step 3 , I noticed all the mapped field name with " [  ] " does not appear, therefor the columns imported are wrong ( because the field with name "[ ]" disappear ).
 
Can tell what does that " [ ] " mean when mapping field ?
