April App Builders Qrew Recap and Upcoming Agenda for May
Hello App Builders!
Thank you to all who were able to attend Wednesday’s App Builder Qrew Meet Up. Here’s what we discussed:
- User-Focused Technique for Flexible Data Management
Mark Shneir shared a user-focused approach that lets users quickly add child records to a parent, filter and view data in reports, and temporarily link unrelated tables using a “wildcard” user focus table. This technique streamlines data management and enhances the user experience, and it’s one that he uses with clients at least twice a month. - Real-World Use Cases
Mark also shared examples of how to quickly add team members or order items to projects, matching delivery truck requirements with team member skills, and efficiently associating orphan time records with invoices using his shared techniques. These scenarios demonstrate how it supports complex, multi-user workflows. - Learning and Adoption
While creating URL formula buttons can be a challenge, resources like an example app and community support make it easier to learn. The User Focus App in the Exchange by Mark Shnier is available for anyone to download and use as a cheat sheet to apply to your apps. You can access the app here or search “User Focus: in the exchange to find it.
