Is it possible to sort items that are grouped in a grid?

 

Right now it seems to me that I can group items in a grid based on Field X, but cannot sort at the same time according to Field Y.

Question about filtering columns in 78B.

 

This could apply to any filtered columns, but let me provide my specific observation. I have several date columns. I filter the first for a certain date. The second is filtered for Blank. The indicator appears at the bottom of the screen confirming what is being filtered. The column that is filtered on a specific date displays the filter icon but the other column filtering "Blank" has no icon. Shouldn't the icon show?

 

Then I try filtering for blanks in both of the date columns. Now there are no filter icons for both columns but the indicator at the bottom shows both filters are active.

 

To me this appears to be wrong.

Small afternoon post to express my gratitude to all  IQ/SQLnotes users,"believers" and skeptics  -- for debugging, participating, just using, etc.

IQ is nothing without its users, AND... it's especially nothing without its god and main user: Pierre. 

 

Thanks Pierre for your dedication, passion and hard work -- I hope you know it's worth it. (And, of course, may that deserved feeling of worthiness soon be accompanied by tangible prosperity!)

Any idea why this would happen or what could cause it?  I have 50+ grids and a column named "Type" that it in every one of them.  Today the column disappeared from every single grid.  The field still exists, but the column is gone.  In the process of disappearing it also caused several grids that filter on that column to lose their filter settings.

 

Some things I did today in case related to the bug:

- Deleted a few fields, but none related with equations to the Type field AFAIK.

- Used the Grid save command.

 

Also, interestingly, I believe this is the same column that for some bizarre reason often gets left out when I use a column set to add it (it is in the column set but sometimes using the column set adds it, sometimes it doesn't).

 

 

 

 

I started out taking notes in the HTML pane for one item, then decided it would be better to break it up into multiple subitems.  Problem: how do I transfer the notes I've already taken to the new subitems?  Should be easy but it hasn't been.

 

1) Most direct way would be to create new subitems, then copy/paste the HTML content to each.  I've never been able to get this to work because too many things are lost in the process (bullet structure is lost, links are lost, images are lost).

 

2) An equally simple way would be to create copies of the main item then delete the HTML content not needed for each new subitem.  I just spent 30 minutes trying to copy/paste the item but was unable to.  I got one of the following errors:

 

a) The item text was copied, but not the HTML content

b) The paste was a blank

 

3) I switched to trying to drag/copy the item

Is there something like "like" or "contains" for the Conditional Formatting syntax that I can use to evaluate if a string is contained within the WIKITag field?

 

I have tried using "*" but with no success.

 

Also a minor bug would be that if the string that I am looking for begins with a capital letter, conditional formatting simply won't work. (v77 portable)

hi,

 

I'm getting a frequent "subscript out of range" error message when I copy cells in a grid. Ctrl-Shift-C is Ok - the one that gives you all the options. But Ctrl-C gets you the error. These are cases where all I'm doing is copying/pasting text from one cell to another within the grid. Nothing happens, except you get that message - the copy/paste operation itself works OK.

 

It also seems that if you have the Item field selected when you do Ctrl-C, you get the "What do you want to copy?" message anyway, so there's no error message in that case. In any other field, Ctrl-C always -> "subscript out of range".

Pierre, do you have any idea how you are going to implement this yet?  Is there some type of cloud gateway that you can use so that it will enable those of us that use Outlook to sync?  I really don't care how it's done as long as I can do it.  For instance, IQ<>Google Calendar which I assume us Outlook users could in turn sync with our Outlook calendars?

 

Thanks

While trying to reproduce an issue from this thread, I came across something which perhaps shouldn't work the way it currently does.

 

 

If you copy an item from one grid and paste it into another grid choosing option ("1. Create new items and put them in this grid "), the "new item" is displayed with its Context Parents. There are two items with two different ID-Items having the same "Parent" although the "new one" is not shown under the parent. It might be because by copying the item, the field ItemParent is copied as well which is used for the "Context Parent View" (I am not sure, just speculating). Could the new item be created without the ItemParent, ItemGParent and have a "fresh start" so to speak :) ?

 

Hi,

 

I brought this up a while ago, IIRC.

 

The problem very frequently arises by clicking on some link that I don't expect to open in the scratch grid or by inadvertently clicking on anything that would open in a scratch grid  (e.g. clicking on a parent in the properties pane,by mistake...) and poof : current work in the scratch grids is... gone **.   : (
