Searching

There are many kinds of search / find / filter in IQ. Here are some of the main ways of searching:
  • Live-Search creates a filtered view of the the entire database in a separate grid using free-form text
  • Grid Search searches the current grid, column or column sets
  • Advanced Find creates a filtered view of the the entire database in a separate grid using field values
  • See also 2. Filtering as searching and filtering are closely related ways to find information

Pane manipulation in IQ:

Panes are windows which can be moved around, grouped, float or docked to a side:
  • Resize a docked or floating pane
  • Undock a pane to make it float
  • Dock a pane to the left or right
  • Dock a pane to the top or bottom
  • Dock a pane under or above
  • Group windows under the same pane (as a tab)
  • Auto-hide a docked pane
  • Auto-hide a floating pane
In general, you first select the pane you wish to manipulate, and start a drag operation.
As shown, the HTML pane is being dragged, and a cross-shaped cursor appears, as well as the various docking boxes.
This dragged pane can be dropped to either floating, or to one of the docking boxes. Once dropped, it can be resized.
