Deleting unneeded fields

When I imported data from ECCO, IQ also brought in all the ECCO fields, many of which are either redundant or no longer useful. To streamline the data in IQ, I’ve been attempting to remove some of the zero-entry fields. However, I’ve noticed that certain fields cannot be deleted, as the delete option is greyed out.

Could you please advise if there’s a way to remove these unnecessary fields?

Updating (refreshing) the "Link Text" after creating an "Inline Item Link"?

Scenario:

1) Create new Item X, containing a text string such as "this is original text".

2) Create new Item Y and type "[[" within Item Y to bring up the "Embed Link to..." dialog.

3) In Item Y, use the dialog to embed a link to Item X (with "Use Item Text" checkmarked in the dialog).

4) Now, Item Y displays a clickable link ("this is original text") that points to Item X.

5) Modify the text of Item X, such as "this is MODIFIED NOT original text".

Lost sub-items

I just discovered that I've lost many sub-items that I thought were assigned to multiple parents.

1) Start with an item and sub-item in one grid, and a 2nd item in another grid =

 

2) Assign Sub-item to grid-2.  This grid now has two top-line items =

How to collapse all sub-items?

This has happened a few dozen times:  I hit ctrl-right arrow to move one item under another.  Instead of moving the item, it expands all the items in the grid to the 15th level.  I haven't been able to reproduce it.

How do I restore the grid so all items and sub-items are collapsed?  

Item>Sub-Items>Show Levels>1 = 
this collapses outline to 1 level, but leaves all the sub-levels expanded.

Item>Sub-Items>Show main sub-items = 
this helps but still leaves many sub-levels expanded.  

Countdown for a certain date in the future (with daily refresh)

Hey. What's the most effective way to count down to a certain date in the future?

Using a column with a bit of VB scripting? Or is there a more 'native' solution?

Also, rather than display the countdown values in a separate column, is there any way I could calculate this number inside the 'item text' field - or display it there (if it were a column value), surrounded by text?

Many thanks!

how to format doc pane text to monospace? Can't find Format menu

Running 127.0Pre4.  I've got some console output that I pasted into my Doc Pane, and I'd like to display it all using a monospace font so that things line up as in the console.  https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/node/799 shows the Doc Pane Format menu where I should be able to do this, but the only menus shown under the Menu button are File, Edit, and View - no Format menu option or any of the others displayed in the https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/node/799 .

Show simple Gantt chart / timeline in a tab / pane?

Submitted by LeftEccoForIQ on 2025/01/22 08:51

Hey. Want to create my very first ever (very simple) Gantt chart just showing a kind of timeline based on five or so upcoming tasks / dates. So far, I've researched some general how-to and installed the Office web component. I have openend a Pivot chart view and it asks me to "drop fields here".

Well, I've tried dragging a date field from the Properties pane onto the chart view but that hasn't done anything. The manual page only links to a video on how to do this in Excel, which goes far beyond what I have in mind.

Any pointers would be very welcome!

Thanks
