Make hyperlink not open in Scratch

Submitted by DavidF on 2016/08/04 17:33
If I create in one item a hyperlink that links to another item, in the same grid, is there any way when I click that link, it takes me to the linked item, but staying in that grid? The default behaviour seems to be to open the linked item in Scratch. I guess there is the fact of course that an item could appear in several grids, so which one should IQ go to... The linked item in question is a subitem (by quite some way), so has no attribute marked that specifies it belongs to that grid where its parent is and which I am working in.
 
It's just it would be useful to see some context when I click on the link, and not just get a lone item in the Scratch grid.

MindMap Popup Warning

Submitted by David_H on 2016/08/04 13:33
I know this is a minor thing Pierre, but would you consider eliminating this IMHO time wasting message (see screenshot)?  I don't think it serves any purpose and unless I am missing something there is no need to protect the user here.  The answer to the prompt is "of course I want to do it for the selected item, that's why I clicked on the selected item and chose mind map!"  
 
Also IQ is capable of having 10 mind maps open at the same time, it's not like the user needs to be warned that the new mind map is going to replace another currently active one, so I don't see any scenario in which this message is necessary?
 
Thanks
 

Notifications Area Idea

Submitted by David_H on 2016/08/04 11:59
Is it feasible to enhance the Notifications Pane to display where an Item falls in a hierarchy? See attached screenshot as an example - except IMO the Item itself should be included in the example shown, not just the parents.  This would be exceptionally useful in flat views.
 
Just an idea for the future.  Seems like the Notification Pane has a lot of potential.
 
Thanks

Option "Show Grid Lines" on per Grid basis

Submitted by ethanrox on 2016/08/04 00:40
In my personal use, there are times that I would love having Grid lines ON and times that Grid lines produce unnecessary (to that grid or view that is) clutter.
 
As there is a "Global" Font option in the Program Settings and "Local" Font option in the Grid Options, it would be great to have the same for the "Show Grid Lines" setting.

Grid Groups

As your information in InfoQube grows in size, so will the number of grids (typically used to show this information).
It is possible to group grids and show these groups in home pages and the Properties pane
 
Examples of groups could be:
  • Projects at work, each project specific grids, plus some general ones can be grouped
  • Home related info
  • If the IQBase is shared with other family member or office co-workers, users can select which grids are pertinent to them
     

1. Grouping Grids

Groups are easily managed using the Grid management dialog:
  • In Other > Groups, enter the list of groups that each grid belongs to (comma separated list)

Bringing in Outlook items

Submitted by DavidF on 2016/08/02 05:39
hi,
 
when I click and drag a file into IQ, I get an option to not just create a link to the file, but to add it to the HTML Pane. Would it be possible to do the same with Outlook items? Unless I'm missing something - at the moment, if I click and drag an Outlook message to IQ, it immediately creates a link, but doesn't give you an option to put anything in the HTML Pane, as per the "File Link Add" dialogue.
 
cheers

Quickly Filter a Grid Based on a Field that is Not a Column?

Submitted by David_H on 2016/08/01 21:04
I often want to (temporarily) filter on a field that is not a column.  What is the fastest way to do it?  I'd like to be able to right click on the field in the property pane and select "show items from this grid", but the only option that I am aware of there shows all items from the entire database.
 
Thanks
