Ask Me Anything about the new Quick Base visual builder

To your first question, yes, a lot of customers have requested improvements to our dashboards and many customers make heavy use of them. Regarding our decision-making process, we know that we want to improve both our dashboard and form building capabilities and found that there were some advantages from an implementation stand point to starting with dashboards that would enable us to lay the groundwork for better form building in the future.

Thanks for your questions, I do know that we have plans to try the AMA format again given so far it seems promising for interaction. We are open to feedback on if there might be better places for the format, but we wanted to try starting off grounded in our own community.

Our current thinking is that all dashboards in the product should have a similar building experience and capabilities. So yes, we want to enable our customers to build richer table home pages that are closer to what you currently get on app home pages.

I am signing off now but thank you to everyone that posted questions in our first-ever AMA. If you have any additional questions about the Visual Builder, feel free to leave a comment on this reply and I will get back to you as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks for doing this!!

Visual builders are awesome. This is great that Quick Base is doing this and it will expedite the development of database architectures. Thank you.

Along the lines of visualization and communication, two things that would vastly improve the capability for our organization to utilize Quick Base for much more of our work content would include unlimited users for view, add & edit records and a signature field.

We have a large workforce that needs to view, add & edit data on a regular basis. We also have many different forms that require sign-off. We use Quick Base user fields for some authentications and 2 step authentication via email for other, but still have good old fashioned hand written signatures for a good deal of forms due to the roles using the forms.

The only reason I bring these up in this discussion is that unlimited users for view, add & edit and a signature field would enable our workforce to interact with the new Pages and Forms that are on the road map.

David,
The Vsual-Builder is a great tool. May I recommend using the Visual builder to place items directly on the form? This will add huge value to building experience in Quickbase.
