I have a lot of contacts that I plan to import into IQ.
I can put the phone numbers, addresses, E-mails, URLs etc in fields or in the Doc pane (using some standard format).

The advantage with using the Doc pane is that it is already there and provides a convenient way to see all information at once (my AddressBook is detached and not very wide so it is difficult to scroll the columns).
Furthermore, many contacts have several phone numbers (e.g. a business with different departments) and it is unpractical to have 10 fields for phone numbers 1 to 10,....

Inevitably there will be times when I make changes to one version of an IQ database before the changes from another computer on the network have been synced to the computer I'm using.  Then I'll have two or more databases with data that are different to some degree.  I'll wonder what changes I made on the other computer that are not in the database I'm currently using.  And as a practical matter, I might just lose those changes altogether.  I just opened up my laptop version of a database alongside the latest conflicted version from the desktop, in two IQ instances.  In each instance, I've

A while back I was testing how IQ could interface with Chat GPT. (I know, others are doing it too). I was trying to fix a bug with repeating events when going from daylight saving to standard times. I took me a good 4 hours to fix it. 

I then copied some of my notes and pasted it in Chat GPT. It gave the solution I had found. Impressive

For those that haven't tried it, MS Bing can do it too. I asked "can you create a 3-D cube, color blue with lighting from the side" and this is what it generated:

I'm currently spending some months on a project where I often need to work with my data from my mobile device (iOS) without an internet connection. I take my notes in the form of outlines (instead of using the Document pane), so Evernote sync doesn't fit the bill. So, I've been using a much-more-limited cross-platform outliner (Logseq), but I'm starting to explore options for IQ-mobile workflows. Since I like to use 'daily notes', here's a workflow I've been experimenting with, but haven't yet perfected:

Hey. I see the card view mode getting constant update, plus I have never used the map or surface views either. Looks like this great piece of software is really wasted on me... :-( But I *am* beginning to feel I might be missing out on something though I've never missed any such view in 20+ years of outlining

Could anyone maybe give some examples of when / how they are finding these alternatives to the grid view useful? Is it mostly for presentation purposes, i. e. when showing content to other people?

Many thanks!

I am not able to find this setting in the Options any more.

1. Tab key: When on the Tree column, Tab key moves the focus to the next column or indents / outdents selected items

I imported a big CSV file into a new IQ database and ended up with 157,000 items, and the file size is 277MB!  Working OK.  IQ did seem to hang at the conclusion of the import, after the confirmation message that tells me that the items have been imported and I need to refresh the grid.  I finally killed and restarted IQ, but all the imported data seems to be OK.

With a new item highlighted in the Item field, I tried pasting the following in a grid:

You may use a capturing group in your regex to make REGEXEXTRACT return just that captured part:
=REGEXEXTRACT(D1;"end\s*(\w+)")
If you need to return 1, 2 or 3 whitespace-separated words after end, use
=REGEXEXTRACT(D1;"end\s*(\w+(?:\s+\w+){0,2})")
See the online demo (Golang regex also uses RE2).

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.

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?
