We do not use specific times when scheduling items and do not have a need for and end date, as everything is a day event.  Can I get rid of the end date and how can I customize the start date to be date only.  Also, can it show the day of the week (i.e., Monday, 6/3/2013)

Blake That's the kind of consulting we've done for few other people and we'd be happy to do the same for you.  It's probably best if we communicate directly.  You can reach me via email.  mark@lacrewsbsp.com.

Hi, I am trying to figure out a way to hide the cost of job items from some users while still allowing them to modify the qty and add new job items to the list. I have created a custom copy of the "Add/Edit Work Order screen" for these users. On the job items grid, I tried removing the columns for "rate" and ...

Thanks Alex!  Andy,  Looks like Alex is correct. I tested this out and it seemed to fix the problem. Copy and edit the FieldServiceMOB_WorkOrders screen and edit the ActivityJobItem grid in the Items section. You'll see the option for Auto Grow. Click that checkbox and you should be good to go!

Alex, thanks for that, I'll check that out.

I had the same problem for a while- I *think* that I fixed it by checking the "Can Grow" box when editing the Activities grid.

Thanks Mark...could you show me a sample of your code interacting with the API or at least describe your abstraction strategy? Thanks

Hi Blake We've done a lot of Method API work in the .Net space.  As far as I know the only available open source code is provided by Method in their API examples. We've built our own class library that abstracts away a good bit of the API but we still have to handle specific field mapping for every project.  Our ...

Anyone using a good (e.g. must be abstracted away and very testable) open source .NET Method API wrapper out there? I'm considering the possibility of building a native iOS/Android app for my employees and presume there's lots of work going on in this space. Thanks

I have a small problem with the item grid on the mobile work order screen. The text in the description field is overlaying. I have changed the size of the field and increased input lines to 2 but the problem persists.
