September 2025 App Builder Qrew Meetup Recap

Hi Qrew!

Thank you to all who were able to attend yesterday’s App Builders Qrew meetup. Here’s what we discussed. 

Dashboard design and personalization tips:

• Sam Lange covered tips on how he uses new dashboards and shared best practices and tips that anyone from beginner to expert builders can use.
• A couple of highlights include recommendations to match your dashboards to client branding using color pickers and hex codes — access the link to the App Builder community page for color picker and hex code page recommendations from the Qrew.
• Same also recommends enhancing dashboards with embedded live elements like clocks, weather, and custom greetings via Code Pages. Check out the Code Page Discord for resources, help, and real-life examples from the Qrew.
• He also shared examples on how he uses emojis and colors to buttons and pages for better visual cues. I loved the look of those!

Dashboard Performance Pro tips:

• Limit dashboard clutter by keeping no more than 5 reports per widget type per tab and leverage tabs or buttons to spread content and minimize heavy filters and drill-downs to keep dashboards snappy.
• Host images in a public or open-access files table to avoid broken links.
• For quick data input, use “quick save” buttons with grid edit forms backed by automation pipelines, and configure drill-down reports so filters applied on widgets pass through properly, reducing report duplication.

Plus, kudos to all who engaged in the chat and Q&A — your questions and insights made the session richer! Continue the conversation the App Builder Qrew Group page.  You can access all the links shared in the chat, the PDF shared by Sam, and get questions answered from the community.

Thank you and we hope you are able to join our next  Pipelines Qrew Meetup on September 24th.

Best regards,
