Method Community

Andy - once you add a term and it goes to QuickBooks, it really is no different from a term you added directly in QuickBooks. Neither QuickBooks nor Method treats it any differently. However, the one exception is more complicated.  If you add a term in Method, but it hasn't synced to QuickBooks yet, you can still edit ...

Andy - No version of QuickBooks supports an EDIT of an existing term using the QuickBooks SDK.  I guess Intuit didn't think people would want it - I'm sure we both beg to differ!  We have no control over this, and all developers integrating with QuickBooks have the same limitation. You should be able to ADD new terms, ...

Dave - There is no limit we impose on the size of a dataset. We do not have any benchmark tests to share.  The time it takes to download a dataset will depend mostly on your ISPs downstream bandwidth. Best practice is return as little as is needed.  So limit the records and the columns to only what your use case ...

Brett - That's a built-in screen (like all the other screens under the QuickBooks and Customize tabs).  You can't recreate those screens using the Method designer. The Scheduled Reports tab is an admin tab. It isn't meant for end-users.  The produced reports go to Home > Reports, which is what your end ...

Brett - 10 to 15 seconds is normal for a publish. It has to do a lot of work behind the scenes to create a webpage. Delay - I have this from time to time on my FireFox.  It's a FireFox thing.  I personally like using FireFox for Method when I'm using the finished product.......but when I design screens I strictly use IE8.  ...

Fran - It's a security check.  If an account fails to sign in successfully with 5 tries, then the MethodAPI (which the Outlook add-in uses) holds the account until it can be reset by us. The regular Method sign-in now has it so that after 5 failed attempts it makes you wait 10 minutes until you can try again, and this will likely be ...

Great. Then please do give us feedback once you are on it. We'd love to hear it. BTW - have you got the Receive Payment screen working processing credit cards?  If not, make sure that is functional for you so that you can hit the ground running with the new portals since it is pretty much a customer-facing version of the same ...

Tracy - There are plans to add more down the road.  Next up is PayPal and GoogleCheckout, and something for our users in the U.K..  We have not discussed Elavon. Either way, I don't see it coming for quite a while.  We are frying some pretty big fish right now and I don't see us revisiting the payment gateway list until ...

Matt - my advice: hold off.  This is a project that we have been working on since September.  We're only a week or so from bringing everything to life. You'll notice that all the big blog posts from September forward have been about big releases that were all needed for this, including payment gateways, UI improvements, ...

Matt - there is already a pre-built web forms feature for Method, that does exactly what you are saying and a whole bunch more.  And it is free. Read my blog post from October:  http://www.methodintegration.com/cs/blogs/methodblog/archive/2010/10/08/method-web-to-lead-forms-unveiled-at-isp-summit.aspx Keep in mind that it is ...
