Hi callumbowran, Is your custom estimate print template a modification of the stock one? If so, there is a script on the label xrItemPrice used to calculate the cost. The script uses a format string with a ‘$’ that will overwrite the format string that you have set on the label. Simply replace the ‘$’ with a ...

Hi, I've just recently started using Method, and have been tasked with looking after it for the company. So, in Report Designer, I have a detail line with 'Estimate Description', 'Estimate Quantity', 'Unit of Measure', 'Estimate Rate', 'Estimate Calc Total Amount'. It all displays properly, except ...

Hi Alex, It looks like cross-band lines may not be available to scripts. Most objects exist within a band, but by definition, cross-band lines do not.

"cvbl5" is name of my crossbandline. I can access label in the script without any problem, so the question is, how can I access crossbandline in ...

Got it. So far, I just use some "sparing" fields from QBs (like other1, other2, ..) to work as custom fields, so we can pass information between QB and Method. - ALex

Hi Mahlon, I asked around and this is indeed the case. I believe this functionality was removed due to it was causing problems or not working correctly in all cases. Our development team will need to re-evaluate this before adding it back. Sorry for the inconvenience. -Audisho

Hi Mahlon, It looks like we’re missing the “compare as” option when grouping chart data by DateTime fields. Due to this, it’s basically impossible to group your data using a DateTime field. I created a feature request ticket so that our development team can investigate the possibility of adding this functionality. I hope ...
