4 MIN READ As an account admin, you should receive a series of three onboarding email over your first two weeks, but in case you want to see what will be sent, reference past emails, or share them with a colleague, this page has each of those emails for your convenience. 1st Email: Welcome to the Quickbase Family! Hi There, You've joined a community, thousands of people strong, with a shared mission to overcome disjointed systems and manual processes, the world of gray work. As Quickbase's CEO, I want to give you a warm welcome and help you jumpstart your journey. Please take two minutes to watch the video below for tips on how to get started. Over the coming days, our team will share many helpful resources in calls and emails. In the meantime, I recommend three things to all new customers: Take our Quickstart Course to learn the basics and explore the other training available on Quickbase University. Join our community, The Qrew, to connect with and learn from others like you. Ask your burning questions! Open a case with our Technical Support team if you need help, or Join our live Office Hours to connect with a Quickbase pro who can help you with your app building questions. Thank you again for choosing Quickbase to help solve your business challenges. I can't wait to see the amazing solutions you'll build. Sincerely, Ed Jennings Quickbase CEO 2nd Email: Get Started without Getting Overwhelmed Hi there, Getting started on a new platform can feel intimidating. We want to help you take it one step at a time. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing guidance on how to get oriented as a Quickbase admin and set up your account for success. You’ll hear from us on how to: Set up your admin team and manage users Configure important account settings Build and deploy new Quickbase apps Keep a pulse on your Quickbase account activity As you get comfortable using Quickbase you are going to have questions, and we’re here to answer them. You can get help by opening a case with our Technical Support team if you need help or get advice from a Quickbase pro at our Office Hours. Sincerely, The Quickbase Team 3rd Email: How to set up your admin team and manage users Hi there, Quickbase is now your platform for turning fragmented work into one efficient ecosystem. As an admin for your Quickbase account, you have the power to bring your team together and manage the users who access your account. While you're getting familiar with Quickbase you should start setting up your admin team, those who will support you and your users. We recommend you: Bookmark your Admin Console - This is where you’ll go to get an overview of your account, manage users, and set up your account policies. Get familiar with your Admin Console – This will be your admin command center, and these help docs cover the information and settings you can access. Create your admin team – This team will support your success and be there to help cover your admin duties during vacations and sick time. We recommend having. a. At least two account admins with full management and billing permissions. b. At least three app admins, also known as builders or app managers. Invite your team to your apps - When you are ready to share your apps with your team, inviting them to the app is is the easiest way to get them using the app and sharing their feedback. Learn how to manage users – View and manage all your account’s users here. Creating your admin team and helping them get familiar with these admin abilities will help you feel confident building apps and bringing the rest of your team to Quickbase. Sincerely, The Quickbase Team 4th Email: Configure your important account settings Hi there, Your Quickbase account has important settings you may not know about yet. As you build and deploy apps to your company, getting ahead and configuring key settings now will help you avoid hiccups down the road. A quick review of the account setting checklist below will have your account ready to go. Account Configuration Set your account’s default time zone Set your account’s currency Confirm you have the right billing contact Update your Account Name Realm Name We recommend customers update their realm name to fit their business. Your realm name is what appears at the start of the account URL and most prefer it to read mycompanyname.quickbase.com. If your realm name isn’t right, open a support case with our Technical Support team. These settings will help to make sure your account is set up to match your business’ needs while you are getting started. Sincerely, The Quickbase Team🔔 What’s Happening This Week for the Qrew

3 MIN READ The Qrew is excited to bring voices from our Community into our blog. As both a current customer and former Quickbase staff member, Wes McAda is a long-time member of The Quickbase Qrew. If you have an interesting take or perspective on what's taking place in Tech today, and you are interested in writing a blog like the one below, please email Ben Simon at bsimon@quickbase.com. There are many AI tools and uses to consider nowadays. There is talk about it making many jobs, from artists to software developers, redundant. As a professional developer and an occasional artist, I have used AI for both. For example, my goofy, dad-joke loving side gets a kick out of this image: As a Florida State alum and football fan, and lover of both artiodactyls and beer, just “Yay!”. It is an FSU Efes Ewe, but I capriciously digress. I guess I could have paid an artist to render this, but I probably would not have spent the money on it. AI made this silliness accessible. AI also makes higher value work easier. When it comes to software development, I use AI to accelerate front end development work. With proper prompting, I can get code using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that helps me go much quicker. I do not do a ton of front end work, but when I do, I rarely start from scratch anymore. The same goes for my Python scripts, which I sometimes use to get more out of the Quickbase API. More often than not, I use AI to get started. AI can also help provide alternative approaches for jinja templates that one may use in Quickbase Pipelines or formulas for Excel, SQL queries, or Quickbase formula fields. There are issues with the outputs, so users beware that you still need to know a thing or two about the subject matter and your context. One also needs to be careful providing inputs that may compromise confidentiality, security, or privacy. The point is that AI enables productivity so that I can focus on impact. AI also helps me in ways that other services like Mockaroo or Canva might; I can get downloadable mock data per my specifications or color palettes in hex codes for my colorblind development work. AI helps avoid a tedious task or facilitates my handicap in this case. One area in which there is professional/personal crossover with AI is writing. Anyone who has coded or developed a Quickbase app is familiar with the struggle of figuring out what to name variables or attributes. However, when writing emails or even something creative like one of my recent haikus, AI helps me with words. AI does not write for me; it helps me write better. The AI tools that I generally use are Copilot and ChatGPT. I have also created agents in Boomi, but I am in early stages on how to incorporate a trained agent in a workflow yet. I am looking forward to Quickbase’s forthcoming MCP server offering with great anticipation! My expectation is that enterprises will profit greatly from AI agents when we gain greater confidence in AI’s security and can leverage its processing power on premises. But what interests me most about AI today is how other devs like me are using it. What are some ways others in The Qrew are using AI? Share below!Qrew Events the Week of July 7th 🚀

Most older courses will be retired to ensure you receive the most accurate, up-to-date information and best practices. Will my course history transfer to the new Quickbase University? Your course history may not transfer. If a course you previously completed hasn’t been migrated to the new experience, it will not appear in your course history moving forward. For courses that are available in the new experience, our team is migrating completed course history over the next several weeks. Courses in progress will NOT transfer. Completed courses will only transfer IF: The course will still be available on the new platform, AND The course was completed by July 7, 2025, AND You’ve logged into QBU on or after July 1, 2023 If you haven’t logged into QBU since July 1, 2023, your account and course history won’t be migrated, but we will archive the data. If you are seeking this information, please contact us at university@quickbase.com. What about my existing badges and certificates? You will not find links to your certifications in the new QBU, though any certificate and badge links you’ve bookmarked in the past, or have stored in your email, will remain live. If you need access to these links, you can email university@quickbase.com and the Customer Education team will have that data available to share with you.

Yes, up until July 11 th , you can login to the current QBU to download any certifications you’ve earned to date and/or bookmark links to that information. Support & Troubleshooting Need help during the transition? Comment on this thread! If your question contains confidential information, please email university@quickbase.com. We’re here to make your transition to the new Quickbase University as smooth as possible. What will happen if I’ve bookmarked a link or have a link to the old Quickbase University in reference materials I’ve developed? No worries — we’ve got you covered! If you’ve saved or shared a link to the old Quickbase University, it won’t take you to the original experience anymore. But instead of hitting a 404, anyone who clicks that link will be redirected to a helpful landing page that introduces our brand-new Quickbase University. That page is designed to guide you (and your team) to the new experience — so you can quickly get back to learning, exploring, and growing your Quickbase skills. Search the new QBU for a link to the new version of the courses you've got bookmarked. We recommend updating your bookmarks and any reference materials with those new links to make sure everyone lands exactly where they need to be. And if you need help finding the right course or resource, we’re always here to help! Email us at university@quickbase.com with the specific course you're looking for. If it has been migrated as part of the newly curated offerings, we'll send you the new link. 🎉It’s a New Chapter for Quickbase University As we embark on this exciting journey together, I want to personally thank you for being part of the Quickbase University community.
