I am looking for a software that would let me input tasks-events-projects. I know any calendar app can do this. But what I am looking for is to be able to visualize this data set in different ways. Many calendar apps can only do daily-weekly or monthly which does not serve my need. I am looking for something that can also show as gant charts or yearly timeline etc. At the moment I am using Gantt project and Lighting(mozilla). The main problem I have with Gantt project is that it does not support .ics calendar format(import or export) so I need to enter data multiple times in multiple applications. I use tracking software to track my time on projects. I can export the data from tracking app as .ics but Gantt project does not import any .ics calendar-kartal (January 01, 2009, 01:29 PM)
I have started using AVAST - happy with it. Light on resources and seems to do the job.-Carol Haynes (January 05, 2009, 08:57 AM)
Does SqlNotes have this kind of calendar view?-kartal (January 02, 2009, 01:40 PM)
(...) And since he doesn't use infoqube, excel is the simplest way to do this. So I made a really cool Excel spreadsheet where everyone lists their projects with a drop-down box for a status, and all these projects get listed in a master sheet for the supervisor to look over. It works really well and was kind of a pain to do (since it really should be done in access or using VBA, neither of which I know).
So there's my update. Personally speaking, the simplest solution to this is InfoQube, especially if it's just for one person and not meant to be shared between several people. Even then, I think InfoQUbe could do it, but you'd have to convince all the other users to use it and buy it and etc...you know how that goes.-superboyac (November 28, 2008, 12:06 AM)
it's probably the same old tactic of coming back some weeks later to edit the post and make it point to the product they want to spam.-f0dder (November 22, 2008, 01:18 PM)
Is there a quicker way to refresh the grid?-J-Mac (November 13, 2008, 09:34 PM)
Egh...ok, Pierre, I definitely didn't think about all those scenarios you described and I can see how the behavior is useful. On the other hand, I probably agree with Armando that perhaps the "ecco" way may not be the best way for default behavior, or not the most intuitive. But I really haven't thought it through enough to really have an opinion, especially once you bring up all those scenarios.
Jim, don't be afraid of it, though, whether you understand the program or not, it's still usable. Actually, don't even bother learning more than you need to.
So, Pierre, regarding my problem, the issue for me is not the source/grids/checkbox thing. To be more accurate, my real problem is that I have a grid open that shows a bunch of items. I highlight all the items and export it to Excel. I expect to see all those items in Excel, naturally. So, like you said before, the exporting is the one that needs to be fixed. How you do the source/parent thing is fine with me, either way.
So, you see, Jim? I don't need to understand how the filtering works if I don't need to, when the real problem is that the Excel export doesn't work intuitively.
(Nice post above Armando. Yes, good documentation is going to be a challenge for Pierre, there's so much to cover!)-superboyac (November 10, 2008, 10:37 PM)
