I need some pointers on finding lost items.  I couldn't find the topic that covers this in the manual.

Just had several items disappear from a grid.  Have spent over an hour trying to find them with no luck.

1) Tried to open Journal to find them but there are too many items (44,000+).  Tried to load full set anyway but InfoQube froze and I had to close the file

2) Tried loading first 5,000 in Journal.  Was expecting to see the last 5,000 created but instead got dates from all over the place.  Why not have a date filter there so you can control what's loaded?

Finally figured out how to filter grid by created date.  Missing items did not show.  I'm giving up at this point.

Read a couple of threads related to this issue but couldn't find a simple solution that I could understand

Is there a quick, simple way to find lost items?

Hi Wayne, 

Activate the date filter, set the field to ItemCreated, comparator =, range=1 (day) and click on Today

Check a sample IQBase for a working Journal grid

I have a grid called "Created" expressly for this purpose. The source of the grid is "Items", which will collect all items that have a name. (To include blank items, one could use IDItem as source.) The grid is sorted by "ItemCreated Desc". The grid is configured to show a flat list without context parents. That way, the grid shows a running list of the most recently created items. Any successfully created item would have to show up in the Created grid (one can always do a refresh to be sure).

(I also have a grid called "Modified", following the same logic and sorting by "ItemModified Desc", to find recently modified items.)

How do I ?
