I’ve spent a few hours trying to find my way around InfoQube. It’s clear Pierre has done a great job creating this program in a very short time. IMHO it’s fair to say that the replacement for Ecco is here.

My problem is knowing how to use some of the pre-made intelligent grids.

For example, how do I link in-box to projects to financial?

Or are these grids already linked?

I’m not good at reading and understanding directions. I have gone through a lot of the material provided on the community site. While I realize some people have put a great deal of work into providing it, for me, it is almost incomprehensible.

I’m able to see the potential power in InfoQube, and perhaps it’s my lack of familiarity w spreadsheets which is my problem. While I’m sure that the program will reward anyone taking time to go through the big learning curve, at some point, for InfoQube to build a larger user base, it’ll help to have some very simple instructions.

One basic question I have right now is how can you clip from/save a web page using the Chrome browser, and have the url go into the form as it does using IE or FireFox?

Thanks.

Yes and no. You dedide what is shown in each of the supplied grid (or you create your own). The source bar (Alt-S) defines what items (or items meeting what criteria) are shown. And you can easily combine these to show any combination of items.

I also offer a free phone call to anyone that wants to.

So true. You may want to try this page:

You can’t do it in one step. The universal clipper works fine in Chrome, but copies the content only. I need to create a Chrome extension for this. The first one to ask, gets it ;-)
