I made a few little changes to the fields management dialog section in the user manual. I don't know if it's going to be to everyone's taste, but I thought there were too many related juxtaposed subjects. Anyway, I just thought that the info needed to be grouped a bit more.

The numbering is not great but I know this can be redone when appropriate...

 

I left the section about "smart folder etc." as a "level 2" item, but I don't really think it belongs there. It belongs either under the "option" section (although there's already some basic material there), or in another section that would be about "advanced field usage", or something like that.

 

 

# 18 on page -- link to nonexistent node ID 1069 --

 

I quote from that page:

I don't know what causes the CPU going to 100%. It happens periodically. I might be related to auto backup... But really not sure.

 

In any case, I need to shut down IQ and there's this error that appears :

 

I have an automated date field, i.e. every time i add an item, a date is created & displayed.

However the display is mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss

I want to limit to mm/dd/yyyy

 

What property do i adjust & what do I enter to control this format?

 

Thank you.

I just -- again -- accidently erased data in many items (125). (Recovered everything thanks to the IQ's automatic backup, fortunately.)

 

This happened because of :

 

I assumed  I would see only the current week with these settings but you can see that is not the case.

(1) why not?

(2) I asked before: there are only  =  < operands available. Why not > ?

 

Sorry to bug you guys with another bug report.

 

 

 

Mantis issue has been revived : 0794

Could that be possible ? I think it could be very useful -- the item would become read only.

I found that all fields involved in the condition need to be in the grid for the condition to work. I've been going nuts for hours trying to figure out this simple thing.

 

Is this by design or is this a bug ? If it's by design (not sure if it's a good idea though), I'll add it in the "manual".

 

Also : it is written in the manual that the conditional formatting section (of the field management dialog) is case sensitive -- at least for field names... Could that be changed ? I think it's a recipe  for great confusion as nothing else is case sensitive in IQ -- from what I've seen.

Hi Pierre,

There's a button for automatic recalculation of "standard" equations (autoupdate), but nothing for hierarchical equations.

Is there a reason for that ?

Thanks
