Hello Qrew, Thanks to all who were able to attend Tuesday’s App Builders Qrew Meetup. Here’s what we discussed: Secure Links for External Access Matt Burger shared how to create secure links that allow external users to access specific records without needing a Quickbase login. He also covered advanced features like setting access windows with start/end dates and a centralized control panel to reset all links regularly for enhanced security. Qrew Tip on Secure Links: Always include an expiration or reset mechanism in your access key formula so older links automatically become invalid whenever you update permissions. Access Keys + Real-Time Bulk Upserts Andrew Carbejal-Everts showcased the GetAccessKey() formula that extracts multiple parameters from the URL, maintains them across tables, and enables instant bulk record operations using Table-to-Table Import. To learn more about Andrew’s use case, he wrote a blog to accompany his use case for folks to follow along. Tip from Andrew: Use custom buttons and hide native Quickbase navigation in secure-link workflows to ensure the access key stays active as users navigate the app. Resources shared during the meetup: Secure links FAQ FAQ: What you can access with secure links Builder Program Link QBU: Quick HIIT - Secure Links Video QBU: Quick HIITS Secure Links Supplement PDF QBU: Common URL Parameters Supplement QBU: Quick HIITS Secure Links Presentation Missed this meeting?

Hello App Builders Qrew! Thank you to all who were able to attend yesterday’s App Builder Qrew Meetup. Here’s what we discussed: Ventsi Tasev shared that the product team enhanced its data change tracking and audit log features, now automatically tracking changes for all scalar fields, allowing users to restore previous values from audit logs, and introducing an "always audit" option for specific fields. See file attachment for additional questions answered. Next, Lyla Rozelle, Senior Product Manager, provided a tour of the updated admin console account summary page, highlighting how users can review usage, get support, manage their account, and better understand their Quickbase plan. Nichole Braswell, Quickbase Developer at Sympo, shared practical solutions for managing multiple forms for a single record using a single button, streamlining workflows and optimizing user access. She addressed a customer use case performance issue with a large, complex form by demonstrating solutions such as splitting the form into smaller tabs or multiple forms, improving usability and speed.

UPDATED 6/3/25: Added Resource Deck with codes and formulas to try from PrashantMaheshw. See Attachment below. Hello App Builders Qrew! Thank you all who were able to attend yesterday’s App Builders Qrew Meet Up. Here’s what we discussed: Certifications & Community: Over 163 new Quickbase user earned certifications from Jan 2025 to present! We’ll will be doing monthly recognitions, raffle drawings, and more to celebrate this great achievement. Click here if you want to get Quickbase Certified. Four use cases from Krishna Beads, Inc. (Minute 5:37) Excel to Quickbase Migration Prashant Maheshwari demoed how his organization moved from “Excel hell” (sprawling, multi-tabbed spreadsheets and endless emails) to a centralized Quickbase app, making weekly updates, handoffs, and history tracking seamless. Living Images for Status (Minute 9:21) Prashant showed off dynamic “living images” using rich text formulas-visual status indicators that update in real time and can be referenced across tables, streamlining production meetings and status checks. ChatGPT for Formula Generation (Minute 12:43) Next, he walked through using ChatGPT to generate Quickbase rich text formulas for status indicators, enabling non-coders to create and tweak visual workflows fast. HTML Tables in Reports (Minute 17:05) Prashant also demonstrated embedding HTML tables in reports to consolidate multiple data points and images into a single, visually organized space-especially useful for image-heavy workflows. ChatGPT & Code Pages (Minute 38:35) Dwight Munson from Signa Health jumped in on the fly to share his experience using ChatGPT to build custom code pages with JavaScript in Quickbase. He noted it can take 30–40 iterations to get production-ready code, but it’s a great starting point for custom solutions. Missed the meeting?

A huge thank you to Prashant Maheshwari (who presented from the hospital room and made it work) and Dwight Munson for jumping in to share a valuable use case as well.
