Three-state fields?

Have three-state fields been considered for InfoQube?

I use yes/no fields to track various kinds of work and I often find that I need it to track three conditions, not just two =

1) Yes

2) No

3) Not checked yet (ie unknown if item's condition is a yes or no)

So I end having to use two columns to track one set of conditions, which seems inefficient.

Join command erases subitems

Header item on outline level 1

   Sub-header Item on outline level 2

      Multiple sub-Items on outline level 3

If the two items on levels 1 and 2 are joined, all the sub-items on Level 3 are deleted unless the option to delete the original is unchecked. 

99% of the time, I DO want the original deleted, so it was inevitable that the delete option would be checked.  I assumed the sub-items would remain under the new combined header.

Collapse a Column

We can Hide columns but I often forget that I have hidden columns and I don't always right click to find hidden column.
I suggest an alternative to Hide by instead collapse a column, still visible but with a minimum width. Un-collapsing the column brings it back to its original width.

Filesystem grid

A special outline/grid to browse the filesystem, and associate files as desired with IQ fields/tags.

The outline/grid replicates the filesystem hierarchy, but in the form of an IQ grid, and with the usual grid tools for navigating, collapsing, expanding, etc.

Grid columns include the usual file manager columns (Name, Extension, Size, Datetime stamps (Modified etc) but also IQ field columns as desired.

Import grid

A special grid to be used for importing data into IQ.

Copy a range from Excel, Google Sheets, etc. and paste into the Import grid.  IQ recognizes the data type of each column.

The column headers in the Import grid are the destination fields in IQ.  If column headers are pasted from Excel etc., IQ uses these.  If the IQ database has no corresponding field for a column, it is created and assigned the detected data type.  The column headers are dropdowns from which the user can select any desired destination field.

bookmark all tabs to IQ

I'd really like to be able to bookmark all my open browser tabs to IQ, where the tagging and organizing options are endless.  I use bookmarking not just to save sites of particular interest, but as an activity monitor, so I can retrace my steps, find projects to resume and pick up where I left off.  For me it's a nearly indispensable method.  I imagine browser extensions would be a big jump but perhaps some kind of sync mechanism with the Chrome / Firefox / Edge / IE Favorites bookmark stores would be possible at some point.

Include Filter Settings in Links to Grids

I have links to a Grid where I have used several different grid source filters.

It would be very helpful if the Link could include a previously used source filter (as found in the drop-down list). In this way, I wouldn't need to create multiple Grids, each with a different filter, to use for my links.

p.s. It would be even better if it was also possible to include previously used source and sorting..?
