Hi Simon,
First of all, thanks for publishing that before it get out, it's very much appreciated :) I found the possibility to edit a report and that it'll change the object behind very interesting. The salesman will work on the report and the information will be saved in the SO => that's smart ! After a first try on my side, some found bugs: * Print a SO as html, edit the line description and make it bold. Save and wait for refresh => it return to normal and should keep the formatting. The same is valide for all kind of formatting (italic, align :center, ... * No possible way to setup bullet point correctly. If I edit a line description of a SO and chose the bullet point icon, the bullet point appear everywhere on my SO and not just for the selected part. A part from those bugs, I see a quite big issue without really knowing how to solve it: * When I edit a report, I edit both the template and the current SO (e.g. SO00007). I don't know which of my modifications will appear on all reports and which will only apply on my current editing SO. That is a problem. Wee need to know which part we're editing : the template of all SO, or only this SO ?! In term of right management as well, I want my salesman to print good SO for my customer, but I don't want them to change my template layout... I don't know how, but I strongly suggest : * to have various level of editing possibility related to the user's right: an admin will be able to edit the template where a salesman will only edit the current SO * to have a visual way to identify what belong to the template and what belong to the current report while editing * If it is not possible, better to ensure all the modification are only for the current report to save headache to people ;) Keep up the good work !
