Re: "New Style"

So if Quickbase adds a feature called "Make copy of CSS". The "Make Copy of CSS" function copies the current CSS of the "New BETA Reports" of the Table Home Page to a code page in App Settings.
A Builder goes to the Code page and builds by messing up the CSS.
Back in Table Settings - Table Home Page: is a DDL of each code page where .css is the type (in the name).

Builder applies CSS to a table home page.
Builder can test different CSS code pages based upon Role (without affecting Users)
Builder can apply CSS code page to other Roles (Users are impressed).

Builder now starts taking classes in CSS.
Quickbase starts documenting all CSS classes in a table format for reference, like the API guide. (and makes it editable so we can update it).

Quickbase developers can go back to Pipelines for a while.

Just a thought.

I agree that when you have reports using the group by feature it really does suck up a lot of the space. The only way to get that space back is to use the expand icon which is at the top right. 

I was actually thinking I might have to make some combined fields so that a single field contains the group by the nations all in one field so I wouldn't lose so much screen space.  I think I will put in a user voice on that group by issue. It is taking up too much screen space.

This is just how things usually work here. You are the beta test for the report. They will release it in an almost working condition and eventually it may be updated to be better. Look at Pipelines as another example. Sure it works but it definitely isn't what I would call production ready with all the little bugs with it. You end up chasing down lots of issues that have no cause that can be determined. Things like Pipelines erroring one day and then appearing to run correctly from then on but in fact they have stopped working with that error it just doesn't look like it.

The new reports are different and I don't like how they look but I cannot deny that you are able to filter easier and more efficiently with them. I like how intuitive the filtering is as well but not all of my users feel the same way lol. In fact many of them are very confused with the new style but that is more a product of them not liking change and not wanting to see what the new style can do for them.

Resistance is not futile, it is Voltage divided by Current...
