Dave- [quote user="DaveS"]1.  The Push sometimes occurs right away, sometimes not.  How fast should the Push occur, 10 seconds, 30 seconds?[/quote] It normally happens within 5 seconds or so when you click Save.

One question, since most of my screens are customized, ie activity screen, customer list screen, etc. Will the changes you make on your end affect my screens too, or only the Method "Standard" screens? Sorry for the dumb question but this has always been on my mind and I just wonder how the cusomized ...
