Ashur, thanks for the response. If I understand I can create a separate screen for each item type (we only need two) and optimize for mobile, add the links into the mobile tab these will then appear in the dropdown for mobile users. This negates the need to open these screens via a Popup or Go To action.

Hi andy, Just an FYI we're currently revamping the Mobile portion of Method, I don't have an ETA for you but it is coming soon. The New Item screen won't work how you want it to work as a mobile page. Reason being is that the Show Screen In Popup, Go To Screen, and Go To Tab Link actions won't work with the current mobile design. ...

Just a quick addition to the above. The reason I ask is because I've copied the 'FieldServices_AddEditWorkOrder' screen and made a number of changes over a few days.

That did it.  Thank you. Jon

Hi Rafiq, There is a 5meg file size limit. We are currently investigating the possibility of allowing for larger file sizes....but I can't give an ETA at this time. Dave

Hi Adam, Thank you so much for following up. I will review with my boss as she has access to this screen.  You and Ashur have been VERY Helpfully (I do not use this word lightly)!   Thank you!

When you first copied the screen you should have selected Replace links to an existing screen on Step 3 of 3. That's most likely why the option is not showing up when editing a contact. In order to get around this you can create a copy of your customized screen and do what I mentioned, remember to replace the original screen: ...

Suzanne, I'd also like to add that another option for you would be to use the Report Header.  This band will only print once per report. - Adam
