New visual task presentation on iPad
Not long ago someone wrote in and asked how far in the future will it be possible to show our tasks in a very visual graphic way. To convey in pictures what is included in a task at the point of sale. They sent me an example of their dream of what flat rate could look like on the iPad.
I started to write that something close to their idea could be done...and it would be a bit of work...etc.. Then I went into FileMaker and started to play around with the layouts for the TASK Detail. Before the end of that very night I had created the basic of our new iPad_TASK Visual layout.
You can select in preferences where you want to go from the Task List or Price Guide views. Choose to just go straight to a visual list of parts or choose the one of two different TASK Visual layouts, one with your logo and other graphic or one without any logos.
In the video above I demonstrate one of these new TASK Visual layouts.
