Hey guys, please help me.....I'm going slightly crazy with a FrontLine Focus assignment.

I have been assigned an ice cream visit, which I did today; I was just getting ready to complete my report, but the link in the instructions doesn't work - it takes me to a page where I have to insert "shopper #", "password" and "receipt #" (what's that??) but when I do insert the first two, it asks me to select a shop but there's none displayed!!

I had a search on the forum and somebody said at FLF you have to enter the report in the Dial Up data page, but the only shops there are the pizza one and the fish one.

Somebody also said you can send the report by email??

Please help, I have to submit it within 24 hours and today is Saturday, so I'm afraid I won't get a reply from Ann or Tara until monday!!
Is there a way to do it and am I being thick about it?!

I haven't done anything with them for a couple of years now - but used to do loads of the Credit Card ones at Airports etc back then....and you could email the report to them.

I did that occasionally when I was abroad - just set it out in an email......similar to the way the report is formatted.

Don't know if you can still do that but worth a try.

Good Luck!

Actually, that's what I'm thinking. I don't use a mobile enough to pay top $ for an iPhone. But I'm tempted by a Wildfire and an iPad combo...just need to find out if I could download camera video directly to the iPad. Shame I wasn't shopping the clueless girl today...

Surely a Wildfire and an iPad will together cost a hell of a lot more than an iPhone?!!!!

OK, The admin behind these GFK Petrol jobs is bl**dy stupid. What is the point in putting a job up with a fieldwork range over the weekend when the individual VINs won't be loaded for 24 hours of accepting visit (excl. weekends?)... ie Potentially Tuesday morning??

Bit of mental accounting going on here. Was tempted by the iPad just as a toy.

I've never had a mobile phone contract so I'm struggling to get to grips with the idea of a long contract. My mobile phone usage is currently less than £2 a month. However, I'm now working a lot more and will be travelling so I'm trying to predict my usage and IT needs in advance.

All I've got is the driver VIN, if you try and enter results it basically shows that you should enter after completing the individual visit VIN's.

I'm assuming that (say you've got 5 shops) , you can see 6 individual entries on Cyber?, ie 1 per visit & the 'consolidated' visit that you accepted?

My 13 year old son wanted an iPhone for Christmas. There was no way we could afford one, so when we were near an Apple shop he asked me to go in to prove they were the price I said they were. We got chatting to one of the assistants and he said that he wasn't supposed to say this. He then took a Sony Ericsson phone out of his pocket and told my son that he used this as his phone and then had an iPod touch. He told me it was because iPhones were so expensive compared to the iPod touch and this way he had the functionality of both.

Anyway, it convinced my son. He still has his old phone and a shiny iPod touch.

Yes but the touch has to be in a free wifi area to be able to connect to the internet otherwise you cant surf the web on it. If you are looking to pick up jobs on the way that makes it more difficult.

I have an iPhone and I love it - battery life beats the BB hands down IMO. I had a storm and I liked it but the battery life was awful.

I have my email alerts configured to my iPhone so I can check jobs on the way - great if a short notice job comes up and you are in the area anyway.
