Is there a way to change how the Estimate Line Amount is calculated?  The way it's set up now will not work for us.  We need to show Unit Price on our estimates, and we cannot have a Unit Price that contains fractions of pennies. The Amount column is currently calculated from the Quantity, Cost, and Markup.  I need to ...

Hey Greg,  I finally figured it out. I overlooked that tiny "edit" button on the right that each section has in the screen designer. Thanks so much for your help.  -Tim 

Hello Barbara,      There are two ways to do this.  You can either use the export in the Integration Tools or List Builder.  Each will give you different information.      For the export tool, you would use the Advanced Filter Options.  For the export, setup a straight-forward export.  ...

Hello Ivana,    I had a recent post asking the same question.  Take a look at this post and let me know if this helps. In summary, A work order/activity is actually set by the Entity and not the Contact.  Hence, ContactPhoneNumber won't have any information to display and appears blank.  You need to add the entities ...

Hello Ivana,     Unfortunately, there isn't a way to track emails once they have left Method. If you set up the default email prefences, the emails will go through your SMTP server.  You will get undelivered and error email messages if there was a problem with an email to an account.  Also, you may be able to track ...
