    MethodAPIGetScreenURLV4

    I have competed the following fields at https://www.methodintegration.com/MethodAPI/service.asmx?op=MethodAPIGetScreenURLV4 to test viewing an activity screen...

    strCompanyAccount

    strLogin

    strPassword

    TabName

    TabLinkName

    RecordID

    Receiving the following error...

    "Cannot convert to System.Boolean.

    Parameter name: type ---> String was not recognized as a valid Boolean."

    Are none of the other fields required?

    Hi andy,

    Looking at https://www.methodintegration.com/MethodAPI/Service.asmx?op=MethodAPIGetScreenURLV4

    Scroll down to soap1.1 or 1.2 and check out the field types. There is a boolean value called IsPortal....it's the only boolean value in this case....if you are leaving it blank, that is an empty string. An empty string cannot be converted to a boolean value

    David,

    thanks.

    Changed the 'isPortal' to false and now getting a successful lookup. The link however doesn't take me to the correct screen.

    Hi andy,

    I'm gonna need a little more info here...Is it taking you to the screen in a different tab or tab group? Or just some random screen somewhere? Can you elaborate on what you entered and where it takes you?

    I was directing toward the New Activity screen under Activities but went to the home dashboard.

    Andy,

    Do you have permissions to see the screen?

    Hi Andy,

    That is unusual....since it is working correctly for me. Here's what I need you to do. Enable the methodsupport user on your account. Then send me an email with your account name, and the values you are populating the parameters with, and I will see what I can find out.
