Hi dorothyp, I have a couple of questions. 1) What table did you add your custom field to? CRM_Contacts is a screen, not a table. 2) What screen are you trying to add the field to? -Audisho

Hi Jonathan, Thanks for the feedback. You’ll be happy to know that we’ve already included a thousand separator option on numerical fields in Method New. You just need to select the field in the screen designer and change the option to Yes. Hopefully this will come in handy for future projects.  -Audisho

Hi Audisho, Noted on that. It might be a good upgrade for method to provide a thousand separator build-in in the table. So it has better visualisation. Thank you for the info!

I am not getting the Insert Fields and Objects for the table that I am accessing. It is the CRM_CONTACTS table. I created a table for something else and I do get the Insert Fields and Objects. Is the reason I am not getting the dialog box because CRM_CONTACTS is a system table and I did not create it?

Hi dorothyp, If you are able to access the screen designer for a screen, you have the required permission for adding a field to it.

Then click and drag the object onto the section of the screen that you would like it to be displayed. -Audisho

Hi Steve, There is no need to create mobile screens in Method New (M:N), as all apps and screens will be compatible on mobile devices (Yay, finally!). With sections and grids, you can set them to be “responsive”. This means that they will collapse and be displayed in a way that makes them easier to read on a smaller screen. You can ...

I am not getting the screen designer to be able to drag/drop the field onto the screen. Is that a permission setting that I need to update?

Hi dorothyp, For a field to be added to a screen as a checkbox, the field must be a Yes/No field. Once you have added the Yes/No field to the table, you can locate it by name in the screen designer on the left hand side and drag it onto the screen. If you do not see the field after adding it to the table, perhaps you added the field to the wrong ...

Hi all, From research and prior knoledge I know that 'Classic' mobile screens had a checkbox on login.  That check box is gone with single sign in. I saw (yes physically went and met with) a new prospect this morning that is going to want mobile apps (specifically iPad) for at least some of their custom screens.  They want to ...

I would like to add a check box to the Contacts screen under Customers. The title of the check box is: Primary Contact. I added the field to the database but can not figure out how to add the check box to the screen. How do I do that? Thanks!
