One of the most challenging parts of product management at Quick Base or anywhere is making prioritization decisions, and deciding what to build and in what order.
We know that this capability is important, as are many others. We work to take input from many stakeholders to ultimately land on a roadmap that delivers as much meaningful value to our customers as possible with the resources we have. And in the last year, in particular, I think we're pretty comfortable with the R&D priorities we've made around mobile, governance, new report types (Kanban, Calendars), ALM etc.
Towards that end, we do natively offer the ability for you to create a Quick Base form dedicated for printing and we offer a button to print it. There are styling options you can implement with a bit of HTML. As of today, that's what we've done in terms of native delivery of form printing within Quick Base.
In addition, we do have partners that have built completely custom document experiences. In general, my sense from customers is that those 3rd party form products are relatively economical. I do think that we have an opportunity to work with them to make these extensions more effectively integrated with Quick Base so that it's an easier experience for users and is easier to purchase.
From time to time, we do ponder more investment in native form workflows, but I'd say that we're pretty happy to have a robust set of third party form building capabilities, so we have no plans here today. I think I would set the expectation that our priority for the foreseeable future is to do more to help enable our customers to more easily procure and use add-ons and extentions of Quick Base (in form printing as well as in other areas) as seamlessly as possible.
