 The following question was emailed: Val We don't seem to have the dispatch functionality currently on Method? Do we need to get this activated? If yes, what is the cost and can we test it out before getting it. Answer: You can find this feature under the Send / Map Xora Jobs screen in Method. Once you have successfully mapped ...

The following question came in via email: Val Xora has a dispatch function which we use to dispatch field staff to jobs. Eg, Person X, Y and Z to Job 5 from 7a to 3p on Thursday 3/25. Question- can method somehow pull in dispatched times from Xora and push them into quickbooks timecard? (instead of the clocked in/out times) Answer: The ...

Is there an existing module that allows Method to be integrated into a CMS (eg Joomla, DNN, etc). I assume that with Dreamweaver the API can be integrated via html code.  But is there something out there in the open source community already done - ideally a Joomla Module for Method I am trying to develop a customer site with QBOOKS ...
