SnT Thursday – View Icons as Categories
I like to check how referrers are getting to this blog, so I use the view 'Referers\All by Date' view to monitor it. One of my frustrations about this view is that either a refer is marked as valid or invalid. Which is not totally accurate because not all invalid entries have been validated. So I added a third icon that indicates that the referrer has not been validated. The third icon helped but I still found myself wasting time looking through the documents.
To speed things up I added categorization (descending order) to the indicator column and my view now looks like this:
There is only one thing wrong with this, no twisties! As you can see (second picture) I do have them set to show. Even tried using my own 'Twistie Image' but still no luck. When 'Display values as icons' is disabled the twisties appear in Notes. No matter the setting for this column the twisties always show on the web, thanks Lotus for the consistency.
The column formula is very simple:
@If(Verify = 1; 82; Verify = 0; 81; 162)
Update: It seems that the view icon is the twistie because clicking on the image once expands or collapses it.

Chad, that is one of those “I can’t believe I didn’t know it tips.” Thanks.

I am think that it is not a tip, but oops on Lotus part.
