Schedule a meeting with Josh Miller to check out his Governance Starter Pack Apps!
Hi Realm Admin folks! Josh Miller, our residence Governance Expert at Quickbase, is looking for volunteers, who is interested in checking out his starter pack Governance Apps that will be launched in the Exchange soon. Some folks asked what these apps are all about. Here's a description: Governance Starter Pack is three apps: Admin Console Sync Hub - a repository for your Admin Console Sync Tables Realm Insights - where you manage information and make decisions for different aspects of the Realm Realm Logger - where you log changes, additions, and deletions regarding attributes in the Realm (think deleted apps, permission changes for users, etc.) These help you govern your realm at a very foundational level (first version will come with Users, Apps, and User Access tables) and gives you a base to expand upon as you scale your governance. *This could take an end user around an hour to three hours to set up. He is working to drastically reduce the development time and that is where he needs your help. Second is an app called Group Configuration. This allows you to manage your groups by creating reports that keep the groups up to date. Example: a user has a report of all active managers. The filter is Employee Status is equal to active. This report is assigned to a group. Once a day this report will update and will not include employees that move to terminated status. This app will log the additions and deletions and make sure the group is updated on a daily basis. Josh Miller would like to these by some folks to see if it resonates and if so, what improvements can he can make before deploying to the exchange. If you are interested in checking out what Josh is cooking up, please book a 30 minute meeting with him here. ------------------------------ Esther LaVielle ------------------------------Realm Admin Post-Meeting Recap and Notes for February 2024
Hello! Thanks for joining us at Realm Admin Customer Network Qrew session today where Jim Harrison from Harder Mechanical showed us how he manages user access. In a nutshell, to provision access for SSO users, Jim does it using Postman, JSON API, and the Quickbase user ID that you can leverage via the admin console table. No need to put in a tech support ticket to approve or deny access. Very empowering! If you have any questions or comments about today's use case, let us know or feel free to post it in the Realm Admin discussion page for everyone to review and comment on. Links shared by Jim during the presentation: Quickbase JSON RESTful API Link to the recording Password: Quickbaserealmadminfeb We got feedback from the group that "Groups" data would like to include "Last Access" to be more useful. It's been reported in the Feedback to Product. If this would help you as well, we encourage you to login and upvote it by click on this link. Finally, if you'd like to present a topic or suggest topic idea for Empower 2024 happening on May 8 th , 2024, you can sign up to be a Qrew Champion and then complete the challenge to be an Empower speaker here Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at our next Realm Admin meeting on Wednesday, March 13 th at 12pm EST. ------------------------------ Esther LaVielle ------------------------------

Thank you so much for joining us on the Realm Admin Customer Network Qrew meeting on October 11, 2023. We were joined by Quickbase customer, Tammie King of Mintz, who is an amazing Quickbase advocate. Tammie demoed a use case that showed how her organization gets apps from request to completion in an organized manner. My favorite part of her demo was when she showed buttons she created that only show depending on what distribution list her users are on. A slick, clean way of organizing things further! Thank you, Tammie, for your great presentation! Attached are the slides from the meeting.
