Do time entries sync with Quickbooks in detail? Can time reports (WIP) be filtered by case? by client and date and service item?  Billable amount (billing rates)?  

Hi andy, The easiest way to do this would be to reverse engineer the actions for the Save button on the CRM_NewActivityScreen. You won't need all the actions, just the one's specific to the email fields and Character Function actions. Keep in mind that you will need to add some additional fields to your mobile screen so it will increase ...

They hours totaled are on the timesheets in Quickbooks. The calculated hrs with the pay rate per job is located in Quickbooks payroll. We use the timetracking in Method to create the timesheets, however, the actual timesheets and all payroll transactions are available to view only in Quickbooks currently. Below you can get an idea of what we need. ...

My plan was to create 5-10 separate screens. One for each pre-filled estimate.

That's correct. Also, this isn't something that is feasible as there are certain actions performed when the Item Dropdown list is clicked, so inserting your own value into that field won't work. Plus if you managed to come up with a work around for this all of your estimates would show the exact same items and if someone needed ...

When I say "template" that might be the wrong term. I don't mean the templates for estimates that are used to print them out, I have no problem customizing those. What I would like to do is save a pre-filled selection of job items and descriptions into an estimate, so that I would not have to recreate a similar estimate over ...

Hi joshtodd, [quote user="joshtodd"]When I select a template from the dropdown, I want it to fill the data into the screen. Then I want to be able to edit the estimate for final touches, add the customer, etc., and then save it as a new estimate for that customer.[/quote]Can you clarify what you mean by this? Are you looking to have the ...

Jeff, There's only one stock Contacts Portal so don't worry about old vs. new.  What the stock screen does is it filters by the active recordID (the logged in customer) and shows only those records.  To customize you would have to use the "Override filter by active record ID" which will remove the automatic filter, ...

I'm looking for the easiest way of sending an email template from a mobile screen. It will be a custom template for emailing work order details to a customer. I've had a look at the send mail events and actions on the 'CRM_NewActivity' screen, but these seem over complicated for what I need. Thanks.
