Some columns 'forget' their places in the grid after using column sets

Submitted by Alp on 2019/11/30 23:04
Hi,
I have a wide grid with many fields. I classified them using forms. I'd like to work in a less clattered environment using column sets, on the base of these forms. Nevertheless, after working under a column set, when I want to to see the whole grid again, some fields 'forget' their saved places in the whole picture and end up somewhere else in the grid.
Am I missing a step?
Thanks,
Alp

Always give items in the 'Deleting items...' dialog the same numbers

Submitted by LeftEccoForIQ on 2019/11/28 03:27
I think it would be better to give, e.g. 'delete from this grid' number 2 always and 'delete from this parents' number 3 always, rather than promote 'delete from parent' to number 2 when the item is not assigned to the current grid. Hence, in that case, there would be no number 2. Then users could memorize the number for what they want to do and confirm the dialog without having to check what's what beforehand. Alternatively, maybe assign additional letter-based shortcuts, e.g. 'p' for 'delete from parent etc.
 
Cheers

Item Editor Suggestion

Submitted by David_H on 2019/11/28 01:52
 The Item Editor is great for focusing on an item. Would it be possible that when an item is opened there would be a pane that would show all associated fields and tags?
 
If that is very time consuming, then a very workable option that I expect would be easy to implement would be to make the check mark column on the fields pane and tags pane sortable, so the user could quickly sort all associated fields and associated tags up to the top of the their respective panes.
 
Thanks

Dropbox Sync fails because of Calendar Sync [I believe]

Submitted by Tom on 2019/11/27 14:37
The last two times I used my desktop, dropbox sync failed -- there was no notification.
I think the problem is that google calendar sync happens before the dropbox folder is checked. Because of the calendar item additions, the current IQ file is more up-to-date than the one in dropbox. All the changes in the dropbox file (synced from laptop) would be lost in this situation.
 
It's also problematic because the file in the dropbox sync folder is replaced by this older file simply because of these new calender items.
 
Could you check if that the case Pierre, and if so, can you delay calendar sync until after the dropbox sync folder has been checked?

Dropdown list, SQL query, field

Submitted by Alp on 2019/11/26 20:04
Hi,
 
I am trying to prepare a dropdown list, "NewField", in a Grid5 with which I want to pull values from four other grids' Item's, by making use of the following query. I checked "Save all listed fields." However, I couldn't get it to work. Is it an invalid combination or am I missing a step?

SELECT Item as NewField from (Grid1 OR Grid2 OR Grid3 OR Grid4)

Thanks,
Alp

New Item does not show up on Related Item Dialog until the grid is re-opened

Submitted by Alp on 2019/11/26 16:30
I am studying "Related Items"; so I apologize if I missed the obvious answer to my question:

When I try to relate a newly created item in a grid to a currently existing item on another grid, Related Item dialog doesn't show this newly created item; F5 doesn't help, either. I need to close the grid where the new item resides and re-open it, only then the item appears on Related Item dialog.
 
Second, when I select "(all items)" on Related Item dialog, it doesn't populate the list at all.

Thanks,
Alp

Trouble Alt+Tabbing to New Item dialog/window (anyone else?)

Submitted by Tom on 2019/11/26 09:04
Open a New Item dialogue/window
Move focus to a different window, try alt+tabbing back to the New Item window -- occasionally it works, but mostly jumps to the main IQ window.
 
Workaround is to minimise main window, dialogue then shows.
 
I have only one PC atm so cannot test if this an IQ problem or a graphics problem on this machine.
