Method Community

Allo, and welcome to Method’s weekly blog! Or is it bi-weekly now? I’m not sure! Anyway, today is Halloween so a few people from Method dressed up. (I dressed up as a cat because my daughter wanted me to wear ears.) Like our T-Shirts? Also, I recorded myself pretending to be a cat with Alex, who dressed up as ‘Grumpy ...

Adam, So, I guess that would be the same on all linked fields from QBO to Method. Thank you for your help. VLocke

Hi Vicki, Unfortunately no.  There is no way to change where the field links from QBO to Method.

Adam, Thank you for your response.  I have added the field like your described above and I know it does work.  We wanted to link the website field from QBO to the customer website field in the Customer screens.  Is there away to do that? Thanks, VLocke

Hey Charles, I'm sorry the process has been so frustrating.  After doing some advanced testing I was able to replicate your scenario (thanks for the additional workflow details).  Unfortunately, at this time I am unable to provide you with a better workflow than you've noted above.  We ...

Hi Mike,  This has been fixed on the October version of Method. Let me know if you are still having any issues with it! Jason

Hi Nathan, Good news! This is fixed in the October version of Method. Let me know if you are still having issues.  Jason

Hi Nebo, Sorry for the late reply on this.  In order to load the Contact name, add another field to the table.  This will be a linked field from the Contact table using the Name field from the Contacts table.  Then, go into your Contact dropdown on the screen, edit it, and go to step 4 of 6. See the screen below: Notice that you ...
