2 MIN READ What a couple of days EmpowerPro 2025 gave us... EmpowerPro 2025 brought the heat with new ideas, big product reveals, and tons of inspiration. From AI that builds apps out of messy spreadsheets to predictive tools that help you spot problems before they even show up, to that moment I know you all have been waiting for with Quickbase revealing Grid Reports (yay!). But the event isn’t the finish line, it's the starting block. That’s why I’m so excited about what’s next: Product Talks with The Qrew. Why I’m Excited for These Talks These are the first Qrew meetups after EmpowerPro, which makes them special. They’re your chance to dive right into the features you just saw, like: Grid Reports that make updating data feel like editing a spreadsheet, only much more powerful. Quick Insights that help you see what’s really driving your results. The new Data Analyzer, which helps you move from “what happened?” to “what’s about to happen?”. And the AI Spreadsheet Import, where we'll take your spreadsheet and all that goes into it, and we'll use AI to import your data in, create an app, and keep all your formulas in tact. Think of these talks as the afterparty to EmpowerPro. A chance to test-drive the new tools, swap stories with other builders, and see how these updates can make a difference in your day-to-day work. Product Talk Dates Here’s what’s coming up: October 22: Grid Reports October 23: Quick Insights October 28: AI Spreadsheet Import One hour for each feature. Let's dive in to each one together. Why Your Voice Matters Here’s the part I’m most excited about: our product managers will be live at these talks. They’ll be there to listen, learn, and hear directly from you. Over the next few weeks, I want you to try these new features. Kick the tires. See what works for your team, and bring that feedback to your Product Talk. The insights you share will help us make these features even better. Let’s Do This Together The Qrew has always been the heartbeat of Quickbase. Product Talks are another chance for us to learn from each other, shape what comes next, and keep building something incredible together. 👉 Register now for Product Talks with The Qrew. I can’t wait to hear what you’ve discovered and what ideas you’ll bring to the table. See you there,EmpowerPro Product Talks

3 MIN READ We are happy to announce that our new grid reports are now available in open beta for all customers starting today, October 7. Read on to learn about how they can boost your team’s impact, and how you can try out the new experience now. Background At Quickbase, we never stop thinking about how we can better support your users. Because your team is the engine that helps your business grow and out-innovate your competition. And this has never been more urgent than it is today, when so many companies are being asked to do more with less. At the center of your everyday Quickbase experience is table reports. We understand that the need to quickly look up or review operational data is constant. And we have heard from many of you about the limitations of table reports, and the grid edit view that comes along with it. We heard about workers being slowed down, and the frustration many are feeling as they toggle back and forth between pages just to edit data. We heard that using grid edit in 2025 feels unintuitive. And we heard about performance slowdowns in some apps as well. That’s why we’re introducing grid reports. Available to all today as a beta feature, this marks a major milestone in the Quickbase experience, providing a more modern and intuitive way of viewing and entering data. Grid reports are the successor to both the table report and the grid edit features in Quickbase. It combines the familiarity and ease of a spreadsheet with the power of our operational platform. For example, with grid reports, all it takes to kick off a pipeline is double-clicking a cell, typing a new value, and hitting save – all done without leaving your report. We have turbocharged the performance of grid reports as well. Finally, for those who have been hesitant to make the jump to our newest drag-and-drop form building experience, I’m happy to say that grid reports are supported there as well – allowing quick edits of child records like you have on a legacy form. Don’t let them tell you that you have to choose between flexibility and power. Because with Quickbase, you really can enjoy the best of both worlds. Business insights, at your fingertips Control the height of your rows. And don’t worry, we’ll remember your choice. This setting impacts how the current report displays for you only. That way, each user can pick a different height as they please. App builders can also set a default height that best fits each report. Control the width of your columns. Like row heights, we will remember your choice and this setting only impacts how the current report displays for you. Filter data on-the-fly. And if you want to update the report for all users, click the … icon on the right side and save the report. Quicker edits, fewer clicks Edit data without leaving the report, simply by double-clicking. Once you’re done, hit Save. Fill down to update many records, in record time. Once you’re done, hit Save. On forms and dashboards too You can also add grid reports to your forms and dashboards, so your team can make quick edits without clicking away to another page. Using a legacy form or dashboard? You can create a new one, to take advantage of grid reports. (When making a new form or dashboard, it will use the latest version of each respective feature by default.) Try it out today Starting today, new apps you create will default to using grid reports. And app administrators can turn on grid reports for existing apps today as well. Open App Settings, then App Properties, and scroll down to find the new option under Advanced Settings. You can also give your app’s users the option to go back to the legacy table report if needed. If you set this to Yes, your users will be able to toggle between grid reports and the legacy table report which previously appeared with the “New experience” for table reports toggled off. What’s next for grid reports? We will be actively monitoring the impact of our new grid reports across the customer base and fixing any bugs as we find them. Stay tuned to our product release notes for details on when we will default all table reports to the new grid report experience. How are we doing? Have an idea for making grid reports better? We want to hear from you! Click the ? icon, then click Give feedback. Or you can open a support case to report a bug or get assistance.The Qrew Monday Update

2 MIN READ Quickbase makes it easy to reduce repetitive tasks and orchestrate workflows, uniting disconnected data onto one platform. With Pipelines, business users can manage both automations and integrations in one place. And we have been hard at work enhancing our Pipelines capability based on your feedback. Now, as we continue to look toward the future, we must also evaluate the role of older and less flexible features like Quickbase Actions. Therefore, on September 30, 2025, it will no longer be possible to create new Quickbase Actions. What this change means for you After September 30, 2025, you will no longer be able to create new actions. However, existing actions you’ve created will continue to run. And you will be able to enable, disable, and edit those actions as needed. We previously communicated a plan to disable the editing of automations and actions, and to begin the retirement of Application Webhooks. Based on your feedback, we are not planning to make those changes at this time. We still do recommend that you migrate any remaining actions you’re using to pipelines instead, which enable more powerful and flexible workflows. If you are an app builder, you already have access to create pipelines. If you do not see the Pipelines link below, please contact your account administrator to get access. The Pipelines Advantage We have been continuously adding new capabilities and tools that make it easy for you to transition your workflow automations to our newer and more powerful Pipelines technology. Not only will this ensure that you don’t experience any disruption to your business or your processes, but it also opens the door to new workflow ideas that can connect across multiple systems. Pipelines supports all features available within Quickbase Actions – Pipelines supports all the features you’ve been leveraging within Quickbase Actions, including the ability to query the previous value of a field. Pipelines enables more sophisticated logic than Quickbase Actions – Pipelines supports more powerful business logic than Quickbase Actions – including branching and looping, as well as parsing text. Pipelines gives you the ability to scale workflow across systems – In addition to orchestrating workflow within your Quickbase ecosystem, Pipelines includes drag-and-drop integration with over 40 products including Outlook, Slack, and Sharepoint. Learn more about Pipelines on Quickbase University.
