Group by Bar and then Sort by Column?

I am grouping my items by one column ("Type"), and would like to sort the items within the groups based on another column ("ItemCreated"). Is this possible?

According to the manual here https://www.infoqubeim.com/drupal5/node/864, this does not seem to be possible?:

  1. None (Manual)
  2. Sort Bar
  3. Source Items Sort
  4. Group-By Bar
The sorting modes are mutually exclusive, so only one can be active at any one time.

Why doesn't item display?

Submitted by WayneK on 2022/07/29 16:56

1) Item is assigned to the grid source field.  Display mode is set to outline.

2) Item is also assigned as a subitem in the same grid.

3) Item displays correctly in its subitem position but will not display at the top level of the outline.

Could someone explain this? 

I reread the Display Mode section of the manual and did not see an explanation.

If an Item is not selected I can't see which Tag is selected.

I want to add a child Tag in the Tag Pane, but w/o selecting an item in a Grid.
In this case the Tag list in the Pane is grayed out, and it is difficult to know which Tag I have selected.

I can still create a child, it is just difficult to know where it will be created since there in no feedback of which Tag is currently selected.

Refresh issue

Set up:

  • 1) Left pane = main view of Grid-1
  • 2) Right pane = view pane of same Grid-1 (right-click>copy view>paste view)

1) Select subitem

2) Refresh grid

3) Outline collapses to one level; current item selection is lost and moves to the top item in the grid.

This has happened many times but not all the time.  In one grid set up it happens 100% of the time but in another grid with a similar set up it doesn't happen.

Can't figure out what could be triggering it.

Copy special settings

Submitted by WayneK on 2022/07/26 20:27

Shouldn't the copy settings for copy-special (ctrl-shift-c) always default to the last used settings.?

I always use option "6", but it keeps defaulting to option 3, making me change the selection every time.   I'm pretty sure this was working as I envision just a while ago.

I couldn't find an option setting to control it.

Didn't there used to be an option to set the selection as the default?

make tags pane non-modal?

I'm just now getting into tagging my items (late to the party) and am finding it very convenient to do it from the tags column in the grid.  I'm pressing F2 to bring up the tags pane.  I enter a few tags, but to move to the next item I have to clear the tags pane, move to the next item, and press F2 again.  Would it be a good idea to make the tags pane non-modal?

Tag Inheritance Issues

I have worked the whole day with Tags on my database and have managed to mess it up :-(. I think that I may need to go back to an old backup (I assume that I would just rename SNBKM to SNDB?)

Part of it the corruption may be because of my incomplete understanding. Please answer my questions, even if they are Trivial and explained in the manual..

New Item & Inbox Grid - Field vs Tag

Submitted by viking on 2022/07/24 21:24

By Default, new items are added to the Inbox Grid (with Source = Inbox field) when the "New Item to IQBase" window is used.

If I look at the Inbox field in the window, it is not automatically checked. However, after clicking on OK, the field is automatically checked and the new item is therefore shown in the Inbox Grid.

Now, I wanted to use an "Inbox" Tag instead of the  "Inbox" field as a source for the "Inbox Grid", but that doesn't work. After clicking on OK, the  "Inbox" Tag is not checked and the item therefore doesn't show in the Grid.
