Qrew Champion Spotlight - Tammie King
If there’s a process at Mintz that runs smoothly, chances are TammieKing had a hand in it. As a Systems Analyst and longtime Quickbase builder, Tammie has quietly transformed the way her firm works, one workflow at a time. What started as an attorney’s side project has grown into an ecosystem of more than fifty apps that power everything from ticketing and scheduling to expense tracking and workload management. But behind all that technology is Tammie’s trademark blend of curiosity, creativity, and care. Her favorite kind of challenge? The one that starts with someone saying, "That can’t be done." How It All Began Quickbase first arrived at Mintz thanks to one forward thinking attorney who had already been using it in his own practice. "It took a little while to catch on," Tammie recalls, "but once people saw how quickly we could turn ideas into working apps, it became our go to for building workflows fast." It was a perfect match for someone like Tammie: part analyst, part problem solver, all persistence. Though not a developer by title, she’s always been the person who can see the bigger picture and find the fastest path forward. "Automating repetitive tasks and simplifying processes just comes naturally to me," she says. "I love helping people spend more time on meaningful work and less time wrestling with spreadsheets." The Power of Quickbase at Mintz Today, Tammie’s Quickbase footprint at Mintz is vast. Over fifty apps support everything from ticketing systems and photoshoot scheduling to change management, expense tracking, and workload utilization. "If there’s a process that needs structure or automation," she says, "Quickbase is where it happens." Her favorite part? Building things that make other people shine. Reports that once took hours, now build themselves. Annual surveys that used to take a week, now process automatically. "It’s a lot of work behind the scenes," Tammie admits, "but seeing how easy it becomes for others makes it completely worth it." And those so called "impossible" requests? "Those are my favorite," she laughs. "It usually takes some creativity and a few pipelines working hard in the background, but finding a way to make it work is such a thrill." A Culture Shift in Action Quickbase hasn’t just improved efficiency at Mintz, it’s changed the way people think about work. "It’s helped us streamline processes, reduce errors, and spend less time rearranging data," Tammie explains. "People are more strategic now. Quickbase lets us focus on the work itself instead of the busywork." That shift from reactive to proactive, from chaos to clarity, is what drives her. Why the Qrew Matters Tammie became a Qrew Leader because she knows how isolating it can feel to start from scratch. "When I first started with Quickbase, I felt completely on my own, with no one to ask or brainstorm with," she says. "I don’t want anyone else to feel that way." Through her local Qrew, she has created the kind of community she once wished she had: a welcoming space where builders of all levels can learn, share, and grow together. The same spirit extends online, where Qrew meetings connect people from across the country. "Those sessions are not only fun but full of great ideas," Tammie says. "I have met lifelong friends through the Qrew, people I know I can call anytime I run into an issue or need a fresh perspective." "The people make it worth it," she adds. "Our little Qrew has such great energy. It is supportive, curious, and fun and the more comfortable we get with each other, the more we can tackle challenges and celebrate wins together." Beyond the Keyboard Outside of work, Tammie brings the same curiosity and playfulness to her hobbies. On Tuesdays, you’ll find her playing Cribbage, a lifelong favorite. Thursdays are reserved for Mah Jongg, her latest adventure. "It’s not nearly as intimidating as it looks," she says. "I’ve found an amazing group of people to learn with, and we have a lot of laughs every week." Connecting with Tammie Tammie's warmth, ingenuity, and problem-solving instincts have made her an essential voice in the Quickbase community. Whether she’s helping someone debug a tricky pipeline or cheering on another builder’s success, she’s all about making others feel empowered to create. You can connect with Tammie and other builders in the Community Discussions Forum, or meet her in person at her local Qrew Meetups, where knowledge-sharing, laughter, and "aha!" moments are always on the agenda. If you are in the Boston area on the third Wednesday of the month, plan to stop by the Boston Qrew Meetup and join the fun. All are welcome!
Send an Image to an Agent
Going one step further than this post Use AI to create a field based on another text field | Qrew Discussions Has anybody been able to send an image/ attachment out to an AI Agent for analysis? I am trying to use this to capture information about text in the images, essentially an OCR project but the info could be anywhere in the picture.
Denying ticket does not move it to "Denied" stage in pipeline.
I created a Kanban board as my pipeline for new ticket request that come in when requestors need help with something. They rest of the automation works well, however for some reason I when opening a ticket and denying it, it does not move to the "Denied" stage in the pipeline, but rather it stays in the "Requests Received" stage. I would appreciate assistance resolving this. Thank you.Want the Approve/Deny buttons to disappear once ticket is approved.
I built a ticketing system for our department so we can receive requests from employees for assistance they may need. Once my manager reviews the ticket and approves and assigns it to a team member for them to work on it, I want the Approve/Deny buttons to disappear on the Internal Ticket Review Form's "Edit" view we see when we click on the ticket to open it once the ticket has been approved. I also don’t want the Approve/Deny instructional text to show after that either. How can I do this? Thank you.Revisiting Product Talks: Grid Reports

Use AI to create a field based on another text field
Is it possible to use AI to create a field "Category" based on another text field "Description." The field description is of-course is verbose and all over the place. But technically LLM should be able to create a succinct 'Category' field for me by parsing the actual topic of discussion captured in the description field. Is this possible within Quickbase?Unorthodox post - when your brain just won't "Quickbase"
Hey all! This is going to be a vulnerable post and I deliberated whether I'd post, but this has always been an incredibly supportive community. I am going through a challenging time in life having lost my mom a couple of months ago, and one of the most surprising ways this has affected me is -- my brain is just "off" for Quickbase. I'd been asked to head up a project cleaning up a former app developer's less-than-ideal-state work, which is something I very much would like to do; but I'm literally logging in daily and looking at my screen, with Quickbase being a small percentage of what I'm generally responsible for day-over-day, and I am just unable to get started. Has anyone experienced this? Any tips for snapping yourself back into shape? As a musician outside of work as well, I realize Quickbase is very much also a creative space, and when I think about whether you could just command yourself to write a song on demand, it feels like a similar mental lock-out where you don't have a lot of control over when your creative energy is going to come back. Would love any feedback and apologies for the sort of odd post. I've been sitting with this project for about 6 weeks now and it's going exactly no where. I either need to take a full pause from the project, or figure out how to get my head in this game.
