Surfulator looks cool, but $59.00 !  I usually use del.icio.us to store links and pages, but it doesn't show the detail that Surfulator appears to

I really like Surfulater
there's a 40% discount for dc supporting members - or is it still valid :-\

no, sorry -
just tried it, it ended end of january :( sorry

OK
in Duration field:-
I notice "Value=>sub-items" is NOT selected - it was previously-
I didnt even check this because other projects are currently showing total of sub-items in Duration field :tellme:
(just double-checked that)

Could this be something to do with the Non-Billable and Duration fields
I havent been filling in the non-billable field, but started messing with it lately - didnt change any settings though
Duration field equation is: 
WorkTime( StartDate , EndDate , 8) - ( NonBillable )

THe Ardfert project reacts as expected to estimates sub-item - i.e. adding duration to project duration
but doesnt respond at all to the other sub-item (Work done)

Meanwhile in another project (same grid - Billing - source set to project)
it shows duration of sub-items but doesnt respond to non-billable

Now I change it to "Value=>sub-items" selected
I'm afraid nothing really changes - the Ardfert project now reacts to nothing in terms of Duration field :(
weird things going on here :huh:
I reckon either I've broke something or there's a bug in here somewhere ...

I would set the grid source to a yes/no field named "Projects" (and set it for Ardfert)
ehh
a bit confused here..

  • There is a column called "Project" already - actually it doesnt seem to allow me to make one called "Projects" :-\
  • I dont understand exactly what you suggest - yes/no I can do, but what do you mean by "set it for.." - do you mean make it yes for current project(s) ?
  • - I do like being able to see all current projects

Ardfret has a start and end time, so the row equation calculates a duration. Conflict between the row and column equations. One of the two has to win. It seems that the row equation wins, I'll see if it is logical to have it that way. For now you can remove the start-end times for Ardfert
-
removed start/end dates -
it still isnt showing the Duration of subitems
This isn't a problem with the other projects... :-\

Glenfiddich is good
but I'd prefer a bottle of irish whiskey myself ...
but then it's what I grew up with (no - wasnt bottle-fed it :P)

but it is much "sweeter" than scotch (I'm slow to say that because it's not a sugary sweetness - I cant abide sweet drinks/liquers myself)
pretty much anyone is good (Jameson and Tullamore dew are commonly enough available, if you want 12 year old - Jameson, Redbreast, Tullamore dew - surprised to see though the 12yr old Glenfiddich is cheaper :-\)

My recipie:
Pour a small glass of whiskey
add a very small dash of water (to taste, but not too much!)
put your feet up
sip

tastes best when it's wet and cold outside

dunno will any of this help Pierre...

using that structure now with:-
source: Duration
Filter: BillingNo is null
Context Parents; Hierarchy; both on
Sort: by start date -

when I go back to these settings I get:
_
SQLnotes06.png
_
the Parent "Ardfert" and anything else in it are gone completely

with source as: "Duration or StartDate" (nothing else changed)
I get this:
_
SQLnotes07.png
_
Also, for some reason the Duration also isnt showing properly in Ardfert job
Work Done isnt showing any number and Parent is "0" - should be "4" hours there...

Equation for Duration is
WorkTime( StartDate , EndDate , 8) - ( NonBillable )

certainly the combination of the two doesnt work for me (or TucknDar)

This one seems to be a fairly good Freehand (sub)forum
http://www.hostingfo...omedia-freehand.html
just discovered it lately

-
[edit] that Freehand one seems to be "abandoned", the only active Freehand forum I've found is in german -
http://www.hilfdirse...eehand_Forum_41.html
It's possible the Adobe Freehand forum is still active, but I gave up going there cause it was painfully slow to use...[/edit]


the main forum is
Web Hosting Forum - Industry Discussion, Webmaster Forum, Web Host Reviews and Deals forums
http://www.hostingforum.ca/
but they seem to have busy sub-forums for all Adobe/Macromedia softwares under the "Languages" forums

Yet another way would be to arrange it this way
+ Project name
  • Estimates
  •     - Task 1
  •     - Task 2
  • Work done
  •     - Task 3
  •     - Task 4
+ Project 2

using that structure now with:-
source: Duration
Filter: BillingNo is null
Context Parents; Hierarchy; both on
Sort: by start date -

What does it mean when an item's text is blue?
I have a sub-item showing twice (once as a main item, blue)
I think this is because I had it settings different and the subitem showed as main item and I, without thinking, dragged it into it's parent item.
Something similar but different came up before, at the time, you said-

Your grid setting is to show context parents but not hierarchy. You also requested a sort by startdate.

Since Hierarchy is not set, the grid will display items in the sort order requested. Notice that if you omit the context parent shown, all items are perfectly sorted. This is exactly what you want...
So... Items must be shown in the correct order since you have specified a sort. Now, you also specified Context Parents, so these are added when required.
-http://www.sqlnotes.net/Forums/tabid/54/forumid/4/threadid/48/scope/posts/threadpage/5/Default.aspx
So,
I turn off Context Parents, refresh, but now the two sub-items of the "problem" subitem above show twice -
see screenshot

SQLnotes05.png

but no matter what I do I cant seem to get rid of those doubled items (tried a few different sorts, with/without context parents) -
It was with the "Work Done" item you see here I had the problems earlier with - showing in Blue -
Have I cloned them or something :-\

can you tell me how to sort it so it keeps the hierarchy, but sorts subitems by date "within" their respective parent items
I had it for a while but cant for the life of me figure it out again :)

It is right now "too" easy to change the grid source, and then the grid no longer displays what you want. I'll think of a better, safer way.

could you get it to remember?
if possible:-
something like a drop down thijingumy showing previous entries?
something like that would be good for filter too!
9945
I've no experience with project management (I barely manage it on my own, never mind in conjunction with others)
but that looks good -
I know someone else though looking for something along those lines, will refer them

« Last post by tomos on February 07, 2008, 04:54 PM »
sounds good...works good too!

so, going back to that filter
this is maybe more an organisational question/thought than an SQL-Notes one...
-
I could really use the same grid for estimates and work-done/Billing
(kind-of what I was doing for the last while, but in a more chaotic uncomprehending kind of way :))
estimate items having no startdate
and work done having start/end dates
then,
simply use filter to remove one or the other as required...

doesnt work though cause source is "StartDate" (estimates having none)-
"StartDate or Duration" seems to work okay with filtering for estimates/work-done
any fundamental objections - shout, otherwise I'll try it for a while

off to dreamland, thanks again for help

« Last post by tomos on February 07, 2008, 03:50 PM »
you need to set the BillingNo field for each item that make up the invoice.
now they disappear as expected, logical as usual!  - not my strong point at times though ;)

As to the filter syntax, the software is called... SQLNotes... Any idea why?
Answer here: http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Where_%28SQL%29
I think I'll have to look at that again when I'm a bit fresher :P

« Last post by tomos on February 07, 2008, 03:07 PM »
hey, that worked
:up: thanks Pierre! :up:

also figured out why stuff was missing from Billing grid -
the filter was on:-
duration >= 0  and StartDate is not null and BillingNo is null
and I had added some items without start dates


Now, I'm curious -
there's some items here where the job is finished so I've added invoice number to Billing number column -
I wouldnt have thought they'd show with that filter, but they do -
I'm wondering why?

Also wondering is this filter-speak/language something that's unique to SQL or is it something more universal -
and if there's anywhere I can get a few tips with it!!

hmm,
I thought it had been default -
was there maybe an estimate one and I just changed the name :-\
hey!
it must have been default at some stage - see screenshot here, same columns and name,
http://sqlnotes.wiki...es.com/Time+tracking
that one has "StartDate and enddate and Billing"
which doesnt work here..

gotta go now will try later or tomorrow
