JKM@SA, The grid subtotals are dynamically calculated and are not actually fields but you can use the Get Sum action, to get the sum of a column in a grid.  So in this case use the get sum action and get the first total, use another get sum and get the second total and then divide those and put it onto a field on the screen. You may even ...

Hi mlepitt, I will bring this up in our weekly meeting to have it changed to include subject and let you know -Michael

And last, what if this is an error in Method and that's why it's not working.  I'm not saying it is, but what IF it is?  You'll never know and I'll never have this resolved because you never looked into it.  Michael said it "appeared" to work when he tried.  But who knows what his setup is and if ...

Amazing! Method will toute itself as being customizable, but then it's so difficult to customize I can't even do something basic like add one field . . . and so I need to pay for more consulting!  This reminds me of the days of DOS on PC's.  Sure, you can customize your computer if you memorized a bunch of crazy ...

Is there are way to use grid subtotals to calculate a field?  If so, how do I find out the names of the subtotal fields? For example, if I wanted to calculate estimated revenue per hour in a work order, first I would add a field EstRevPerHour.  Then I would want to take the Amount subtotal from the Tasks & Materials grid and divide ...

When creating a new Activity, I found that the Subject Merge was not working for the Email Template.  When I looked at the field change function I found the logic missing for any Subject merging, only email body was there.  I have fixed it for my instance by duplicating and modifying the Email Body merge character functions, but i wanted ...
