Method Community

Hey Aaron, The team I was on had a lot of the same questions and issues. Keep in mind that the schema is largely the schema from Quickbooks, not something that the Method guys created to be cruel. There are some online resources from Quickbooks related companies : http://doc.qodbc.com/qodbc/Qodbc_20_us.html  Along those lines, if you ...

Thanks, Naeem! So there are 4 custom Yes/No fields on Entity, the IsSMS* fields. IsSMSPhone, IsSMSAltPhone, IsSMSMobile and the composite, IsSMSAny. Maybe I should just campaign for a new Action..."Logical OR", which takes a list of fields as input, and adjusts a target field with the result on any update to those fields. Is there an ...

Ok, Now...in my Grids, I want to put a little Composite Flag to indicate that we do have at least one SMS number for that Customer or Contact. I see some SQL Overrides, but they are mostly just simple HTML to concatenate fields. How would I write "Show this checkbox as true if any of these 3 chackboxes is true for this entity"?  ...

EDIT: Per http://method.me/cs/forums/t/5181.aspx I see that modding Entity is an accepted, perhaps even bast practice.  I'll leave the original post for anyone else who may have the same question or concern. ---Below, the original post: Thanks! I was reading http://method.me/cs/forums/t/454.aspx - at some point, ...

Hey Ben, I hope that it's not out of line, and apologies in advance....but it would be great if you guys did cross-browser testing and, preferably made it work, but, alternatively, popped some kind of notice when an attempted action is unsupported? Some could interpret the current situation as lack of care by Method...possibly...

Is there any update on this, or has the issue perhaps resurfaced? I had issues today trying to drag and drop fields in Chrome.  Can you guys maybe do browser agent detection, and push some kind of notice about what might not work? Thanks for any updates. Best, Ken

Ok, I think I have figured out the workaround...I just need to make multiple fields, one per phone type, assuming, I guess, that each Entity has only one Mobile number, etc., like: IsSMSMobile, IsSMSPhone, IsSMSAltPhone, etc.?  And put these adjacent to the related field on my screens?

Thanks, Naeem. It looks like a near miss. Here is why:  In Entity, I see a bunch of fields, which are things/data attached to an "Entity". The problem is that both AltPhone and Phone are in there, as well as any other custom phone fields there may be. A single IsSMS field is not going to cover it, because the idea is to indicate ...

I am being asked for a "Customer" report including: Alternate contacts (email addresses) List  Monthly fee Invoicing/subscription date - A complex query/join to the InvoiceLines table? Pseudocode maybe like: DayofMonth(Max(TxnDate)) where InvoiceLine like "*Monthly*Fee*"  Items Owned - A list of items from a custom ...

I am trying to, as globally as possible, Add an "IsSMS" checkbox field to all Phone Numbers displayed and stored in Method. I hope it's perfectly clear...the idea is to be able to flag phone numbers which can receive SMS messages. I am not sure what all the entities are, even, but I beileve I was told that there is a ...
