Hi, is there any action in Method that can take a file (import from users) then parse it to get the content? I have a case that users would like to import data from excel file, then put it in a grid. Is there any action that can import file and any parse function or file I/O functin? thanks. -- Alex

Hi Kenneth, I've put in a few feature requests, one for a "More Apps" function on the Dashboard and the other for the ability to be able to control the "show more" function on the left nav pane. I'll keep you updated through this post. In terms of Work Orders, they're ...

John, You got me thinking.

Greetings, You have to go into the oppotunity screen and change the new estimate button.  John M

Lets look at this another way.  Right now Method has a way of grouping data becasue a WO has a day. For example Monday.  So when you want a daly report method takes all the mondays for a date range and totals them up.  Pretty simple stuff.  Now you want weeks and right now Method dosent have way of figuring out what a week is. ...

Hey Justin, Thanks for the quick replies.   The filter didn't seem to resolve the issue; I'll try adding the onClosepopup actions and see how that goes. If I add the onClosepopup actions to the Activity screen will those actions run when I close a popup screen such as Sales Opportunities?  Or should I be putting the ...

hkui, More specific to your situation, you'll want to check the filters for your Sales Opportunity dropdown (Step 5 of 6 for the dropdown). If you filter based on the Contact field rather than the ContactName field, it may resolve your issue. - Justin
