Just an idea I am throwing out there.  Would it be practical/feasible to either include more info on the grid tab area for a birds eye view of a grids settings?  As an example, in addition to:

 

"Items from fields x, Filter = x, sort by - x"...

 

How about also "display mode = x, context parents = x"

 

I'm thinking it would be nice to have a birds eye view of all the settings.  Not sure if practical though.

In most of my grids I've done a lot of outlining.  When I switch to Flat List, context parents not turned on, I don't really get a flat list, because the child items don't have a value for the grid (and therefore don't display in a flat list other than under the parent item).  3 questions:

 

1. Would it be possible to create a flat display mode where they do (i.e. this is an IQ feature request).

 

2.

Hi IQ Users,

I guess I'll throw out this little oddity in case someone else is experiencing the same thing.  For the past couple of days, when I click on an internal link, the page refreshes, but remains on the same page.  When I click a second time, it takes me to the linked item.  Same thing with favorites: on first click, it refreshes the view but remains on the same grid; on second click it works correctly.

 

Has happened 20+ times.  I re-started InfoQube and it appears to be better but still happens occasionally

 

FWIW

This is an another old problem that was resolved once but has re-appeared.  About half the time I enter edit mode in the grid, the cursor disappears.

Has anyone else given thought to how best to  use spreadsheets with InfoQube?  I've worked through various possibilities but haven't been able to come up with a satisfactory solution.  I'll post just a few points and see if anyone is interested in discussing it further.

 

1) Some info is best organized in simple spreadsheet layout.

 

2) Doing this in grids is difficult because each layout requires a different set of columns.  I could create and link to a separate grid for each layout but that would create many dozens of grids.

 

3) HTML panes have tables, but I find them awkward and frustrating to use.

 

4) I could put the info in Excel and link to it from InfoQube, which I've been doing.  It would be nice to have it displayed directly in InfoQube but I haven't figured out how to do that.  Unlike PDF's, InfoQube can't open and display spreadsheets.&nbsp

I have items I have input and now don't show. Hoping I can get some help here.

 

I can see in the Properties pane of the parent I put them in that InfoQube has them as children.

I click on them there and they show in the Scratch grid.

Or if I hoist the parent I can see them where I put them.

 

How do I get them to show without hoisting or finding them in the scratch grid?

I am befuddled. I'm sure it's a simple solution. I just don't know what it is. Thanks for the help!

When I delete an item, 99% of the time I want it deleted from the database.  Each time, the delete dialogue comes up with "Remove from this Parent only" selected.

I have to then move the selection to "erase entirely".

 

Is there a way to change the default selection to "erase entirely".  Or is there any other way to delete in one step without having to manually pick from the options each time?

When I try to paste an image in a grid item, it flashes but nothing happens.  This was an issue before and got fixed but it appears to be not working again.

 

Procedure: 1) screen capture an image; 2) select grid item; 3) CTRL-V.  Note: image paste does work in the HTML pane.

 

Update:  when I tried to paste an image in the HTML pane, InfoQube crashed.  When I re-started, the previous images pasted in the grid showed up properly.  But when I tried to paste new images, I got the same blanks as before (item shows a subitem where the image should be, but nothing is there).

When I set up a hyperlink, I almost always want the linked item to open in its assigned grid, not in the scratch grid.  To accomplish this, much of the time I have to open the ItemHomeGrid field and manually assign the item to it.

 

I know this was discussed previously and I thought the assignment of home grids was going to be made automatic.  Why can't we have an item assigned to the grid that it's created in?   If it needs to be changed after that, it could be done manually.
