Change the order of table fields
Manny, How do we change the order of fields in a table? I added fields and want to change the order of the fields in the table, but don't want to reenter all the fields again. Is there a way to move a field up? Thanks, Aparna ------------------------------ Aparna Kommineni ------------------------------Monitor Data View
Manny, From a data security perspective, Is there a way to monitor who has viewed records with date and time info? I noticed all the tables have "Last Modified By" and wanted to know if possible to have "Last Viewed By" as well. Thanks, Aparna ------------------------------ Aparna Kommineni ------------------------------Fields
Manny, Question about field types, how do we set up field types to ensure that the data is unique and in a specific format? For example, the social security number should be in the following format: xxx-xx-xxxx - how do we ensure that the information is entered correctly? And, what does "must be unique" mean in the field properties? And, for age, what if we want that to be a calculation based on date of birth? And, what if we want to have conditions in the field types? For example, under gender, I have listed "Prefer to self describe". If they select that option, then I want to show a text box so they can enter text. How do I do that? Also, how do we make fields required? Thanks, Aparna ------------------------------ Aparna Kommineni ------------------------------Quickbase University Access
Manny, I am trying to access Quickbase University and I am unable to do so. It keeps asking me to sign in and I am confused as I thought we all had access to Quickbase University. Can you please let me know if there is an issue with my license? Thanks, Aparna ------------------------------ Aparna Kommineni ------------------------------Tables and Relationships
Manny, With respect to tables and relationships, I am still a bit confused. Note, I did try to access Quickbase University to access the self-study materials but am not able to do so... I understand the relationship between parent and child tables. However, I keep getting stuck on making sure that all the tables have a common field with unique identifying information to connect to.... Based on yesterday's class, that isn't the case. Do you have any materials that you can share with us to help me better understand how tables and relationships work? Appreciate your help!

Integrating fields from many tables into one central table.
I have started working on my app. I have three tables. Employees, Department, and Positions. I want fields from department and positions to show up as fields on the employees table. I have the relationships built. Parent (Department) - Child (employee) and Parent (Positions) - Child (Employee). I have setup the table to table relationships and specified which fields I would like to be lookup fields on employee form. My issue is that they will not populate the field on the employee form. I know I must be missing a step but not sure what that is. Any suggestions? ------------------------------ Tracy Woodard ------------------------------
