Link to Outlook Office 365

Hi Pierre,

I have Outlook Office 365. I used launched the Registry modifier OutlookPrototocol2016. I am able to drag and drop or copy and paste the Email file from Outlook to IQ. It appears to set up a hyperlink. However, when I click on it it does not link over to the email in Outlook.

- Is this not possible using Office 365?

Thank you.

Tab groups question

Submitted by WayneK on 2022/03/27 23:40

You can have either vertical or horizontal tab groups, but you can't have both.

Naturally, I'd like to have 4 groups arranged in a 2x2 grid, which isn't allowed.

Tabs can be detached to create a 2x2 grid but that isn't the same as having 4 windows, each of which can have multiple tabs.

Is there some other way to accomplish this that I'm not thinking of?

Use of "and" and "or" in conditional formatting for [ItemTags] contains ("A" and "B")

Submitted by carloscadu on 2022/03/25 09:02

Hi, I'd appreciate your help.
I tested two different conditional formatting for the main "Item" field (ID 1).
I expected the background color becoming RED (BackColor=&H0000FF).
 
[ItemTags] contains ("1now" and "2soon")
[ItemTags] contains ("1now" or "2soon")
 
Something is wrong with the syntax, since all items are becoming RED, as shown in the screen-recording below.
 
Instead, I'd expect the following output according to each syntax:
 

Moving items long distances

Just needed to move an item from near the top to the bottom of a list with over 500 items.  Couldn't figure out an easy way to do it so I'm hoping to learn something new.

1) Dragging is great over short distances but not a long list.  You can't can't drag to the bottom of the screen and continue scrolling down.  You have to release the item, manually scroll down, re-select the item, and repeat. 

2) Keyboard alt-down arrow takes a long time.

3) There are more convoluted methods better avoided because of the extra steps (eg assigning sort numbers to a text field).

How to set "startwith" conditional formatting properly for [ItemTags] startwith "a"?

Hi, I'd appreciate your help.

I set the following conditional formatting expecting the main items font to become RED (ForeColor=&H0000FF) according to the ItemTags:

 

[ItemTags] startwith "a"

 

So given the tags listed in the screenshot below, I'd expect that any item with assigned tags aASK, aFOLLOW, or aTHINK would become RED.

However, it isn't working.

 

What could be going wrong?

 

Thank you,

Carlos

 

Executing related equations in order?

Submitted by viking on 2022/03/20 22:01

I have a Yes/No field "ToDo" and a date field "Date".
When I check the ToDo box I want to set the Date to Today and then uncheck the ToDo box.

I tried these equations:
1. For ToDo:  A: Date=Now
2. For Date:  A: ToDo=

However, only the first equation is executed; checking ToDo sets the Date, but the ToDo box is subsequently not unchecked.

I think that I read in the Doc that it is not possible the way I tried it..?? Is there a workaround?

Journal & lost items

I need some pointers on finding lost items.  I couldn't find the topic that covers this in the manual.

Just had several items disappear from a grid.  Have spent over an hour trying to find them with no luck.

1) Tried to open Journal to find them but there are too many items (44,000+).  Tried to load full set anyway but InfoQube froze and I had to close the file

2) Tried loading first 5,000 in Journal.  Was expecting to see the last 5,000 created but instead got dates from all over the place.  Why not have a date filter there so you can control what's loaded?

Can I make an item a subitem of a contact (item) in the addressbook using a script?

I have items in a grid, e.g. ToDo,  that I want to quickly make subitems of contacts (items) in the addressbook.
I created a new text field, contacts, with a list of pop-up items using the items in the addressbook.
I can now select the contacts from the addressbook in the Contacts field.

However, that does of course not make the items subitems of the contacts in the addressbook.

I wonder if it is possible to create a script, something like this:

If contacts = Addressbook-itemText then make ToDo-item subitem of Addressbook-item
