Here are some examples to get your creative juices flowing.
"Did I pay vendor John Doe last month?"
"Take me to my largest sales order for this month."
"What invoices haven't been paid yet?"
A Better Way to Code this?
We link to help documents from our file cabinet on our items. Originally, there was only 2 documents to link - a Spec sheet and a User Manual.
We made a cust document field for each type (one for spec, one for manual) and then used an if/else statement to check if the custom field is empty and if it isn't, write out a link that was document specific (as in, stated that they were getting the user manual, or the spec sheet), with an icon that showed what type of document the customer would open.
Now there's a lot more documents to link to that are all different - photometric data, virtual swatch books, FAQ's, etc. All in all I'm up to about 30 custom fields, and a long list of if/else statments.
