Outline-level formatting workaround?

Submitted by lucasd on 2010/10/26 03:32
I would like different outline levels automatically to have different font sizes (something I used to do with Ecco Pro's "outline styles"). 
 
In the help file, ch. 2.06, under "Text Formatting", it says:
 
"Outline (not implemented yet): Choose from a list of outline style (or create you own) to apply formatting (text font, size, numbering scheme, etc) to this grid."
 
Until this is implemented, I'm wondering if it's possible to create a workaround using conditional formatting. Before I invest the mental energy necessary to fully grasp conditional formatting, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me right off the bat whether this would be possible (or whether there's some other method).
 
Thanks,
Lucas
 

Mixing row and column equations

Submitted by william_wicker on 2010/10/25 11:28
I'm trying to set up a grid to work as an indented parts list / bill of materials. Here's a picture of where I'm at right now. Some things work fine. Others don't. Here's a picture:
 
 
I'm trying to figure out how to merge the row-level equation that sets Total Cost = Quantity Required * Cost Ea. with the column equation that sets Total Cost = sum (children)
 
Ideally, I would like to be able to enter a column equation for Cost Ea. that is the sum of the children's Total Cost columns. Then I can see the  cost for a single sub-assembly as well as the total cost for the number of sub-assemblies required. If I do this, then Total Cost is always = Quantity Required * Cost Ea., and the Cost Ea.

Shown in grids

Opening the folder pane in Ecco allows one to see what folders are associated with an item. You can, individually or en masse, delete these items from the selected folders. I know that IQ will get Ecco-like folders in .27, but I wonder how I can easily delete items form grids with this version. Shown in grids has never worked to my satisfaction and it seems to hit-or-miss. For example, I need to have all the grids showing (I think), but I am not sure in how many grids my item(s) appear and their names.
 
Can someone direct me to a reliable method to accomplish that which I can so easily do in Ecco? I'll bet I am missing something obvious.
 
Thanks.

Hierarchy

Submitted by jsolka on 2010/10/18 08:36
I didn't use this for awhile and I don't usually use it very often, but...
I thought I understood that when the item doesn't belong to the grid ( and that means that in property pane the grid field won't be checked) it won't show when hierarchy is off. In my pre-rel27 it's not the case. More so, when I check the grid source field for that item it jumps up to the top level.
