Method Community

Richard - By syncing I mean that I expect that the iPad app would keep a local copy of your customers, work orders, items, employees, etc. and store them on the iPad. That way you could work away while offline and then sync when you get back online again.  This adds tremendously more work for your developer because they have to ...

Dave - This would work similar to a invoice or other transaction that has line items. First you add and modify the line items, then you save the invoice using the SendToDesktop API call. In this case first you modify the ItemGroupOrAssemblyList.  Then you use the SendToDesktop API call on ...

Hi Dave - We don't currently have an "Duplicate" buttons on items.  We have them in other places, like on the Opportunties screen for example.   If we were to do it, we would just stick a button on the Method version of the Item Inventory Assembly screen that comes from the Item List.  ...

Hi Dave, That's great that you put in new functionality.  That's what great about the developer community we enjoy fostering with Method. I'm interested to know about the functionality you added, as I am sure other solution providers will be who have clients who manufacture - how is your functionality ...

Dave - The purpose of the Method API is provide developers with a way to access the data in Method, as well push data into Method.  This allows developers to create *their own* user interfaces, using *their own* code, and have that interface interact with Method. The purpose of the Method API is *not* to provide ...

Palmer - If you want to add extra contacts, don't insert them into the Customer table.  Insert them into the "Contacts" table. For the Contacts.Entity field, use the value from the customer.fullname. No need to get RecordID. What you were doing was trying to insert a duplicate customer, which wouldn't work. Once you try ...
