Options:

I have to right-click an option before I can edit/change it

a simple left click just causes the option (e.g. pop-up list) to flash and revert to non-editable

 

 While the homegrid concept is great and should be developed, I think that the convention should be respected in that case too : shift+Click on hyperlink : always open in new scratch grid, even if the item is already there in the grid, even if the item has a homegrid.

 

[Sorry, edited a few times for clarity...]

As I said in another post, the option was removed, sadly, as I 'd use it several times a day.

It'd just adds flexibility and ease :

- you want to see that parent separately ? 

- those siblings ?

- that specific tagged item ?

- that children ?

 

.... you can of course click on it/them to show it/them in its/their home grid(s) or in the/their current grid 
But it would be great to also be able to right click and select "Show item in a new scratch grid"

 

A lot of bang for the buck.

 In the spirit of my scratch grid requests, I very often need to isolate items from a grid (this is different from my other post concerning the properties pane) and see them beside the grid I'm working on.

 

(There used to be an option "Hoist in scratch grid" and I was using it and one day it was gone. That said, items don't have to be hoisted, andin fact, showing it in a new scratch grid is more than enough. I stress the "new" word as recycling scratch grids isn't very useful. They can always be closed if they accumulate.)

 

I know there are workaround, at least 2, but they are bit unintuitive or tedious.

 

Thanks!

Hi IQ Users,

I "miss" the ability to search for certain items sharing a specific parent (on any level -- that parent could be several level up or at various levels for any item, so itemParent or itemGParent wouldn't work or only partially).

 

Why would that be extremely useful ? 2 examples:

- it wouldn't be necessary to recursively tag/mark all items and their subs in a tree to know if they've been classified under a parent or not (and then filter for that tag/mark)

- one could find items related to certain topics without having to tag them in advance.

 

Parents used in that way add richness to how the context in which an item is found can be used.

The documentation of smart fields in the user manual is inadequate and difficult to understand. I would like to improve it – but I cannot sufficiently understand the topic to be able to do so. In addition, some examples do not work as expected.

 

Currently, there is no UI specific to creating these smart folder-type fields, but users can easily modify existing examples:

Options: <source>SELECT ItemID, [ItemID]>0 AS ItemIsBold

WHERE ((InStr([ItemFont],"|B|")<>0));

 Of course, one could always press Shift+F2 before entering text in any cells... but... it's not convenient.
