Get work done faster
Clean up clutter with nested record grouping. When you group a new table report on several fields, each level of grouping will be nested within the group above it. You can even collapse all groups at once to find what you need right away.
Do you work with reports that include many pages of data? Now you can switch between pages quickly, using page controls that are always visible at the bottom.
Download your report as a spreadsheet in one click, now that we’ve pulled the download option out of the more menu.
Boost adoption of your apps
Your colleagues will get comfortable with your apps more quickly, now that they can quickly adjust their display by re-sizing columns. And no worries, we'll remember your choices the next time you visit the same report so you don't have to adjust them a second time.
One of the most powerful interactions Quickbase offers is the ability to quickly and easily filter your data to find what's important to you. The new table report offers two different filtering options to provide faster insights.
First, our column filters offer maximum flexibility so users can filter on any column as they would in a spreadsheet.
At the same time, our filter bar displays the same dynamic filters builders have hand-selected on legacy reports to provide more workflow-driven focus.
Rollout Details:
Now, let's get into the logistics. With our GA launch, the toggle at the top of your table reports with switch from defaulting off, to defaulting on as I mentioned above.
This means the new style will become the default experience, but the toggle will still be around in case you need to make exceptions to toggle back to the old style. We'll also remember that choice, so the next time you view that same report it will remain in the style you left it in.
Since this is such a big change and the first of its kind, we're planning to roll this out in phases. These phases will be based on the first letter of your Quickbase URL (“https://examplecorp.quickbase.com“ would start with the letter “e”.)
The first phase will begin on 04/26/21 where we'll default on the first ~25% of our accounts. Then, we have a week built in to monitor performance before resuming with our second phase on May 10th. After that we'll default on another 25% of accounts each week until we complete our rollout.
We'll closely monitor each phase of the rollout, and may adjust the dates for the following phases as needed. We’ll keep this page up-to-date if any of the rollout dates change.
Here's a more detailed outline of those phases:
|
Phase
|
Date
|
Segments
|
|
Phase 1
|
04/26/21
|
Customers with URLs beginning with a – d
|
|
No additional phase
|
05/03/21
|
Monitoring performance
|
|
Phase 2
|
05/10/21
|
Customers with URLs beginning with e – m
|
|
Phase 3
|
05/17/21
|
Customers with URLs beginning with n – s
|
|
Phase 4
|
05/24/21
|
Customers with URLs beginning with t – z and all others (accounts who don't start with a letter of the alphabet)
|
In my example above, a company with the Quickbase URL “https://examplecorp.quickbase.com“ would see their table reports begin defaulting to the new style on 05/10/21 because their URL begins with the letter “e“.
This GA rollout also marks the next milestone for a few features we are retiring this year. Read more about that here.
If you have any questions or concerns on this feel free to submit a support case and we'll get you sorted out.
What's Next:
This GA milestone doesn't mean we'll stop working on the new table report. Far from it. After our GA rollout, we'll be paying close attention to bugs that are reported and feedback we receive about what's not working well so we can quickly resolve issues that may arise.
We'll also take time to tie up a few loose ends like adding in features like "new subscription" and "add to favorites" that are important, but less-used functionality.
And last, but not least, we also have a number of net-new enhancements we're also planning to add in like the ability to display totals and averages right in line in our collapsible grouping rows.
Thinking ahead much later, once we're satisfied the new table report is full-featured and complete and we've given everyone plenty of warning, we will remove the toggle and the new table report will just become the table report. We anticipate this won't happen until months in the future. I mention it here purely to illustrate our eventual goal.
