Re: Default Values not generating after "Save and New"

Phat Matt — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 20:06:00 GMT

Hey Michael,

I am setting DEFAULT VALUEs in the first page of the FIELD PROPERTIES window. That is the info that will not generate automatically when a new form is opened.

Example Steps that I take:

1) Log into Method 2) Select New Work Order 3) Fill out required fields on screen 4) Print 5) Save and New 6)When new screen loads, default values do not generate

Default Values not generating after "Save and New"

Phat Matt — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 23:21:21 GMT

Hello,

I am having a small issue with my Work Order screen. When I open a new work order all the default values are generated properly in the fields I have directed. However, after a "save and new", "cancel", etc. button is pressed, the next new work order will not have the default values generated thus requiring manual entry of each field. If I log out of Method and back in, the default values will generate upon a new work order.

Please help! Thanks!

Re: Delete or update specific record in grid

It worked! You are a genious Michael! I never knew until a few minutes ago that you could add another "where" statement on retrieve value. I get excited when I learn new things. Thanks for the help!!!

Delete or update specific record in grid

Phat Matt — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 01:20:06 GMT

Hello!

I am trying to figure out in a string of actions how to either update or delete a specific record in a grid. I have a string of actions that inserts a new record into the estimateline grid on the estimate and enters a subtotal from the estimateline grid. I am trying to figure out how to update or delete and add back the same record once additional records have been added to the estimateline grid thus changing the subtotal. I would need to specify the record as "equal to" or "contains" item name that needs to be updated and also reference the recordID to match the recordID of the screen.

Any thoughts???
Thanks a ton!

Hey Denis, Got that to work and is calculating with a hours x difficulty level to result in total hours for each line item. Sweet! Is there a way to create a series of actions that will enter a new line on the estimateline table and enter a labor line item? Then enter values into the cost field?

Hey Denis,

I am trying to get the esthrs in the items table to generate on an estimate. I can get the field to show up in the grid but it is not carrying the information to the estimate. Also, once I can get it to show up, I would like to add two additional fields. The first would be on the item table and be a custom one called "difficulty". The second would be on the estimate screen called "TotalHours" which does a basic math operation to multiply "esthrs" by "difficulty". Also, could you reset my account for theagentsee? I have messed it up quite a bit in my learning process and am getting stuck on a few tables when I try to edit. It wont let me save and I cant delete the fields that are causing the problem as it says theyre tied to a table when they are not.

Thanks!

Matt

Formulas in Estimates

Hello,

I am new to this and maybe a bit ahead of myself in asking this question as I have not reviewed all of the videos but cannot find a thread regarding this. I am trying to attach estimated hours to each item and have a formula that automatically totals estimated hours for all items to give me a total estimate of hours across all items.
