Method Community

Hey Jacob - Just to follow up: 1. I did some more trials on my end, and the order of the work orders do seem to be working properly and mapping in the order they appear on the schedule. 2. If you want to "cheat" and try the optimization without customization, here is how you can do it: a) Show the map and directions on ...

Dave - Don't you mean ItemInventoryAssembly?  You can't create a BuildAssembly for an item that doesn't already exist as an ItemInventoryAssembly in the QuickBooks item list. So you would really want to be making a SaveAs of an ItemInventoryAssembly, no? Before you try to figure out how to do it in Method, how would ...

Hey Jacob - Sorry I didn't respond right after the screens were.  I was going to post some instructions up here for you - but it looks like you figured it out. There are a lot more capabilities we put into the platform for mapping that you don't see, but are actually available to you if you wanted to venture into customization ...

Jacob - Got the email of the two company accounts.  But I can't log in. Did you enable MethodSupport on these accounts? Paul 

Jacob -  As per above, can you let me know which Company Accounts you want us to import the screens into?  For each one, we'll need you to enable the MethodSupport user.  Don't let post the names in this forum, just email the Company Account names to method@methodintegration.com . Thanks, Paul

Jacob - We're still waiting for the next live publish before we push out the calendar and work order screens with the mapping on them.  Reason being if we pushed them out now, the mapping buttons would still show up on the regular site but wouldn't do anything - as they would only work on the beta site. I know you eager to get it - ...

Palmer -  Are you still getting an error when you try the import / export beta?  If so, what's the exact message?  We can look into it for you. Paul

Dave - The API call works as it is intended. The URL you provided in your email needs to be HTML decoded.  So where you see "&" in the URL, you need to do an Server.HTMLdecode to convert it to "&".  This is pretty standard if you are receiving and sending data via XML. Please note, however, ...

Brian - even with the import / export tool it is still importing one record at a time and validating as it goes.  In terms of performance increases, you are right that a DELETE * FROM TableName would be the most efficient SQL to run against it. Since Method, in general, is made for non-programmers, this is something we are staying away ...

Palmer - using the API there is no need to set the EntityType.  If you are inserting into the Customer table, it knows enough to automatically set the EntityType to Customer for you. Also, if you are importing lots of data, you might be interested in a new built-in Method Import / Export feature we put into beta yesterday.  See the ...
