2/18 - Women's Qrew Meetup
Hello all! I hope you're all having a lovely kickoff to your 2025 :) We are so excited to get our Qrew meetups back on track this year, and I'm here to let you know that our Februrary Women's Qrew Meetup is scheduled for 2/18 at 1-2PM EST. Since the topic of positioning your Quickbase development experience has come up several times in discussions prior, we wanted to dedicate an entire Qrew meetup to this topic. Join us to hear firsthand how your fellow Quickbase developers, Quickbase partners and even employees describe their development experience and use their technical chops to better market themselves. Stay tuned for an update on speakers! I know there have been some challenges with the invites in the past, so I thought it might be helpful to clarify the process. Use the Events Page as your source of truth for Qrew meetups. Our internal Qrew team ensures that this is kept up to date across all customer events. Register for the event using this registration link. We will continue to post this registration link in the individual Qrew discussions and can share one-off, but it is the same one as the one on the Events page. Registering does NOT mean an invite automatically gets added to your calendar. You can download the ICS file, but we encourage customers to block off time as they register. This is the link for the meeting itself. Karen, Heather and I can track registration and will be more diligent about sending reminder emails for the Qrew meetups. Please feel free to reach out to myself (tluccio@quickbase.com) or Karen Motyka (kmotyka@quickbase.com) with any questions, and we hope to see you there!28Views0likes1CommentApp Builder Qrew Meet Up Cancelled 2/11

Hi Realm Admin Qrew, Thank you to all who were able to attend Tuesday’s Realm Admin Qrew Meet Up. Here’s what we discussed: Josh Kaylor, Principal Customer Success Manager, presented the Governance Scorecard. He walked through the app that creates a report based on number of users, active/inactive apps, permission, security preferences, and more. The Qrew really enjoyed seeing the elements that make up the calculation for the scorecard, and how to take steps to update their governance strategy. Folks enjoyed seeing an app Created by Quickbase that’s being actively used with customers. With the Governance Scorecard taking license type into consideration, Josh took time to highlight key governance features that are available. This includes the Governance Core Apps, Sandbox, and a bit on the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools. As a reminder from what Rayna and Ventsi shared last month for Solutions API and QBL features: Enterprise customers continue to have unlimited access to Solution APIs and QBL Business plan customers can use Solution APIs to the limit of 150 API calls per QBL version released by Quickbase Teams plan customers do not have Solution APIs availability Quickbase recommends a bi-annual of your governance Scorecard for optimal environment health. This is a free report that your account team can provide to you at any time. To get started, connect with your account customer success manager and let them know that Josh and Esther sent you! So far, I hear we had three customers reach out after our Meet Up and asked for their own Governance Scorecards after our meeting. Way to go! Missed the meeting?

Attendees: Kennedy Maxey, Esther LaVielle, Nico Cantillo, Jen Clark, Daniel Jeon a Denver Quickbase builder 12-14 years, Elena Larabee & Jim Harrison We held the January Monthly Qrew meetup a week early as planned last month. Next month we go back to the regular fourth Wednesday schedule. The meeting started with Introductions. A new attendee Daniel Jeon joined us remotely from Denver, CO. Daniel has several years of experience with Quickbase. We are excited to hear what insights he has to share. Everyone had a chance to say hello to Daniel and give a brief introduction as well. Once the introductions were complete we moved on to asking if there were collaboration questions from the group. Collaboration: Jen asked about anyone's experience with setting up Single Sign On using Microsoft Active Directory. The example showed her login process takes three clicks and doesn't keep the login active once the browser is closed. Several commented there are some settings in the Admin console and Quickbase Support may have to make some changes on their end as well. She is planning to contact Quickbase Support. Nico Showed an App he built this past month around the management of stringing tennis rackets. The design is to keep track of materials, cost and time spent on each racket. During the presentation Kennedy asked about the Document Template. Nico explained how he is using Document Template to print forms. Kennedy looked and doesn't have access to the Document Template since her Realm is not on the plan that offers the Document Template feature. We suggested either a Builder Account, make a test, show it off and see if there is budget or Nico is going to see if Quickbase can turn it on so she can test it out. Daniel asked about Webhooks. He wanted to know if they are "really" going away. Nico responded that yes Webhooks are going away as Quickbase wants traffic going through Pipelines and not Webhooks. I pointed out that Webhooks are going away from the UI and moving forward will be managed via API. There is still a lot of work to be done before Pipelines is ready to replace Webhooks. We then talked about Zapier, Workato and Pipelines. Daniel has experience using Zapier and I asked about the experience since we use mainly Workato. He said the UI/UX is more feature dense than Pipelines, there is a Dev and Production environment for example. Next Jen asked about ideas for building a tool management system. The idea in essence is Users fill a shopping cart with Tools and then check them out. As the checkout process happens quantities are updated in an inventory table. Elena has the most experience with inventory management and building tools in Quickbase. She mentioned using a Code page. We talked about using code pages and Quickbase API to get records from a Query and then add the template new records to another table as well as update the quantity values. This is all possible with a firm understanding of JavaScript. Pipelines is also an option but doesn't provide a live real time experience for the Users. We talked more about Code pages, service accounts and performance tools. The last question came from Jen regarding a new Pipeline process. The idea is getting the most recent files from a SharePoint folder. We looked at several examples of the file structure and the recommendation came up to use Bucket. I have an example I can share but it has been a while so we decided to hold off and look at it again at the next meeting Jen is available. We arrived at the end of our meeting and said our fair wells until next time.February 2025 Qrew Meetup Event
Portland Qrew is meeting the forth Wednesday at 3PM PST at Harder Mechanical Contractors and also on Teams. The plan is to talk about current projects, new changes and challenges. Sometimes we show off our work and cheer each other on to higher heights. We ask attendees to bring problems to solve and then work together to provide a solution. Anyone willing to share is welcome to have a problem solved by a team of very nice people who all love helping. Afterwards I suspect we will go out somewhere and welcome recommendations. If you would like to join remotely email jharrison@harder.com directly and he will send you a Teams invitation.Meeting Invite Problems
It looks like a number of you did not have an invite for today's meeting. I'm not sure what's going on but we'll investigate on our end and find out what happened here. We will make sure there is more advance notice for our February meet up so that any invite issues (should they arise) can be ironed out ahead of that. In terms of today's meeting, we got some got some great ideas for topics of discussion for future meetings. We'll be posting those in the next several days and looking for additional recommendations from the rest of the community!10Views0likes0Comments
