Hello I can use the web based version of ConnectWise with no problems but when I try and use the app, aimed at the same address, I get a 'Could not connect to the Web Server' error. Does the app have different port/whitelisting requirements?

Hi I want to limit users to a certain number of pages per week. I also want it to be in gray scale. I have altered the setting on the printer to only print gray scale but the only script I can find is for color per day. Anyone know how to change it to gray scale per week? /* * Daily color page limit * * Sometimes, a high price tag just isn't enough to discourage users from * printing in color. This recipe imposes a fixed limit on the number of color * pages a user can print per day. * * Imposing a color page quota is a better solution than separate balances for * color and black & white. Separate balances are more confusing (two accounts * to manage) and also can lead to waste. The user may for example run out of * black and white credit, and therefore be forced to print in color wasting * resources. This method (an overlayed color quota) solves these issues. */ function printJobHook(inputs, actions) { // Modify this value to change the daily color page limit. var MAX_COLOR_PAGES_PER_DAY = 20; if (!inputs.job.isAnalysisComplete) { return; } if (!inputs.job.isColor) { // Not color so no need to check and apply any limits. return; } var currentColorCount = inputs.user.getNumberProperty("color-per-day"); if (currentColorCount == null) currentColorCount = 0; var currentDayIndex = inputs.job.date.toDateString(); var dayLastSeen = inputs.user.getProperty("color-day-last-seen"); if (dayLastSeen == null || dayLastSeen != currentDayIndex) { // It's a new day. Reset the current count value to zero. currentColorCount = 0; } currentColorCount += inputs.job.totalColorPages; if (currentColorCount > MAX_COLOR_PAGES_PER_DAY) { var deniedMessage = "This print job has been denied. You have exceeded" + " your daily limit of " + MAX_COLOR_PAGES_PER_DAY + " color pages per day. Please print in grayscale."; actions.client.sendMessage(deniedMessage); actions.job.cancelAndLog("This job was denied because you have exceeded" + " the daily color quota."); return; } // If we're here, then it's OK for the job to proceed. // Save the current daily count actions.user.onCompletionSaveProperty("color-day-last-seen", currentDayIndex); // Note: Set is used for simplicity (see "Rate limit by department" // for use of increment). actions.user.onCompletionSaveProperty("color-per-day", currentColorCount); }

Have you looked at the SIMS Teacher APP? It provides a lot of SIMS functionality without the pain.

Don't know where to post this. We regularly rip exam CDs to MP3 players for teh exams as the teachers are not allowed to. Doing this for the AQA Spanish paper after the break and each track is called something ridiculous. Is anyone else having this problem?

Instead of correctly opening the Word template and importing teh data from teh XML file, the Office 2016 machine opens the XML file in Excel. Any ideas?
