Tell us about your Realm Set up!
Hello Realm Admin Qrew! I have a question for you to answer: How many realm admins do your organization have? Do you share roles and responsibilities? Example: I have two realm admins (including myself). We share some responsibilities, but would like to give access to everything to my second realm admin. Is that possible? What are the drawbacks I need to be aware of? Let's start a discussion and share your thoughts below!
Project Intake Form
Hi everyone! bsimon_personalsuggested I post this question here, so I'm hoping someone has something they use! Does anyone have an app that they use for the project intake process? We're trying to develop a way to better capture requests for new solutions (both QB and non) and ask all the right questions up front so we have a better idea of what we're getting into, weighing out the costs, etc., before we just start doing a full discovery and building. We've noticed a tendency of running with ideas without first really weighing out the costs and seeing what software/solutions already exist that could be used, and we're trying to rein it all in. I'm thinking a form that asks things like the below and then enables us to do follow up, create estimates, etc. Thanks! What is the problem you are trying to solve for? What solutions have you explored? What other systems are used for the process where integration may be needed? How frequently would those integrations/syncs need to happen? Who are the stakeholders? How many users will need access? Who will support the solution? Have you budgeted for this/what is your budget?October Realm Admin Qrew Meet Up Agenda & New Nav Goes Live

Thank you all who were able to attend yesterday’s Realm Admin Qrew Meet Up. Here’s a recap of what happened: 1. Josh Miller, Customer Solutions Manager – Governance, gave the group a long-awaited update to the Governance Core Apps. After 25 downloads with customers, he was able to create asweet suite of Governance Core Apps that will give every Realm Admin a front seat to manage their apps, users, usage, and more. 2. Customers were given a very brief overview of the topic of governance and showcase the updates that were made. He mentioned that it would take about one hour to download then prop up the first iteration of the app. 3. People loved seeing how Josh used code pages to create a guided experience when downloading and implementing the governance apps. 4.
