What's the easiest way to create a data entry form for a Quickbase application that I can embed on my website?


The easiest way to create the HTML for a Quickbase data entry form is to use the following wizard:

https://login.quickbase.com/db/9kaw8phg?act=DBPage&pagename=formWizard.html

Note: This wizard works with application tokens. If you want to use Application Tokens with this wizard add the following token to your application: cwfcy7gdzqrsyncqbi2bn4u4kr. If not, you can leave the application's token requirement set to disabled.

  • This link no longer works.  After choosing the database, it dies at a mostly blank screen   :(
  • Hi Mike, I just tried out the wizard and it seems to be working on my end. If you're still having trouble feel free to open a support case so one of our customer care reps can take a look. You can open a case by clicking ? in the top-right, clicking Manage Support Cases, and then clicking + New Support Case.

    Thanks,
    Brian
  • Hi Mike,

    I am not sure what "Please enter the URL you want to go to after your users fill out the form we are creating here." refers to. What link should I be putting in here?

    Thanks!

  • I tried to make the form using this tool, and I got this when I tested it on our website:

    This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

    <qdbapi><action>API_AddRecord</action><errcode>22</errcode><errtext>Sign-in required</errtext><errdetail>The page you have requested can be viewed only by users who have signed in. Please sign in to proceed.</errdetail></qdbapi>
  • This would be the redirect after submitting/entering the information.  I would imagine your website or a redirect page of some kind acknowledging the entry.
  • This is where the redirect requires a login to access the Page.  Wherever you are redirecting to needs to be a publicly accessible space; or perhaps a page hosted in your website?
  • it is a publicly accessible page... that was the first thing I checked.
  • Re-reading the error, it looks like it is trying to Add the record, but cannot because the AddRecord needs to have a signin.  Perhaps use a Usertoken in the HTML code with the AppToken to bypass the signin.
  • I can't get this to work for EOTI.  I have looked everywhere I can find to set permissions for everyone on the internet.  Please help.
