How I can I get real numbers (not integers) to show in a grid (e.g. : results from an equation) ?

Submitted by Armando on 2010/03/05 15:09
All numbers seem to be rounded and I can't find a way to change that.
 
To verify what I'm talking about, add this in the row equation section of any number field (just make sure to erase it afterwards !!!) :
 
2*2.2
 
Go in your grid, click on the field and perform a re-calculation (shift-f9). You should get 4 and not 4.4.
 
 
 
Anybody here knows how to change that behaviour ? Pierre ?
 
Seems to be built in IQ, but I'm asking just in case I'm missing something.

ability to select an item & view in under a new tab via context menu

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2010/03/05 10:40
This cannot be accomplished by hoist because hoist isolates item within same view, i.e. column sets, etc
 
What I'm asking about is viewing an item in a brand new view / window w/o columns, i.e. just item & children
 
Comments?

netbook display issue re: lost vertical scroll bar -> Please solve this !! <resolved by the boss>

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2010/03/05 10:36
Using a netbook, standard setup, latest IQ buld
 
Situation: @ a mtg, taking notes in html pane and needed to scroll down but couldn't find verticle scroll  bars either for IQ or pane. Odd. Can anyone test this on a netbook.  Tks.

Pierre, my experience mirrors Armando's description. Could you take a look at this. I take my netbook to all mtgs, take notes in html pane & am frustrated / confused every time.
 
Thanks.

Gantt Effort field enhancements.

Submitted by Armando on 2010/03/04 17:44
Hi Pierre,
 
Currently, the tasks/projects related "efforts" are null when a task/project doesn't have a duration. Plus, "effort" has a fixed "scale" (days).
 
It would nice and would allow more personal (and efficient in my case) use if efforts could :
 
1- have a definable scale (e.g. :  1 = 8.3%, so that I could use it to build the graphic on an hourly scale instead of a day scale that doesn't mean much to me outside of long term projects -- nbr of hours per day seems spent on a project seems like a better effort indicator...)
 
2- be displayed in the effort graph even if the task doesn't show a duration in the gantt chart (the black diamond in the gantt).

How can I use the date numbers created by the gantt chart so that my scripts don't explode...

Submitted by Armando on 2010/03/04 15:54
When  I use the gantt chart, I'm plagued with all kings of errors of that type :  "Wrong number of arguments"  "invalid property assignment"
 
 
Here's an example of my functions :
 
Function DueDate_EQ_TaskActEnd( duedate,TaskActEnd, projet, task, etape )
  If IsNull(DueDate) And (Task = True Or projet = True Or etape = True ) Then
    DueDate_EQ_TaskActEnd = TaskActEnd
  ElseIf IsNull(TaskActEnd) Then
    DueDate_EQ_TaskActEnd = duedate
  Else
    DueDate_EQ_TaskActEnd = duedate
  End If
End Function

Gantt : after setting non-working hours, IQ freezes when tryin to open the Gantt panel.

Gantt : after setting non-working hours, IQ freezes when tryin to open the Gantt panel.
 
This doesn't seem to happen in an empty DB (there are other problems mentioned in another post though)
 
Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this... Seems like gantt chart doesn't like some of my data. I'd appreciate some help as I can't use that useful feature.
 
Thanks.

gantt : gantt related changes (like "non working hours" [+ other options]) in the grid management dialog aren't always saved

Submitted by Armando on 2010/03/04 15:03
I don't know why it happens sometimes and not others, but I suspect that some settings are kept only until the gantt pane is shown by the grid -- and then if some item hours (taskactend-start) don't match with  the  "non working hours" being set in the management dialog, settings are erased.
 
In any case, it's only one of the problems linked to the grid management window (like : some changes don't stick when they are made in the grid management dialog and the modified grid is opened in the background). All these need too be sorted out as they are super time consuming.
 
 
Some confirmation for these grid management dialog problems should be confirmed.

what are locked columns?

Submitted by ThomR on 2010/03/03 09:59
In the 'columns' section of the grid properties dialogue, there is a field for 'nb of locked columns' (see manual 3.2.20.3). Can someone please explain to me what these are? I ask because I was trying to find a way to set a column at a fixed width (namely, an 'itemhashtml' field, which I always have to manually adjust to display just the width of the yes/no box each time I open the grid). Cheers.
 
(edit): I have 'Auto-size width' checked, but it isn't coöperating.
