I too am aiming to use Route lists in my business.  I have added several routes and have began the process but I have no way of filtering to see these routes.   I have so far not entered an work order for any of our regular winter lists.  These lists are generated by weather and not by a regular schedule (not per se recurring) ...

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.

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, ...
