Quick Base Thanksgiving (less stuffing more Apps)

I am grateful for a team that enjoys what they do... building apps of course! I am blessed with a team of top performers that want to please their customers with new apps, providing enhanced features in existing apps and troubleshooting issues that come up.

I actually had to think quite a bit about this just to narrow it down since there is so much to be thankful for with QB.

On the customer service side, I would have to say that it's all the people that are so committed to QB.  Everyone that I have met has been so enthusiastic about this platform and seems like they honestly care about the success of their clients.  I really like working with everyone because they are so passionate about what they do.  It really helps me to know that I have that support and makes me more confident when working with users within the university.

On the app side, I would have to say that I am most thankful for automations.  They have made processes so much easier and once the automation is written, less that I have to think about especially on a scheduled basis.  Also, the release of the mobile scanning feature is going to be a "game changer".  Heard about that at Empower and so excited about that it being released soon.

I am grateful to be able to expand quickbase from a few small application into a key business application this year to creating a 2020 plan with over 20 desired quickbase applications. As the lead for these projects it has provided experience in many areas along with additional visibility within my organization.

I am most grateful for the QB feature of being able to have multiple users in one app that can make changes and updates without interfering or deleting an account by accident.  That has been a great improvement over what we used to use and our company has benefited from QB so much over the last year and will continue to grow with you!  Thanks so much for everything!

I am grateful for Automations. This new feature has been a game changer in automating so many different workflows, saving time and making data entry minimal.

We are also looking to expand usage across more departments in 2020, which I am excited to help build those apps and Automations :)

1.What is one piece of professional/workplace advice that you are most grateful to have received
* When I was complaining about a business process someone challenged me to build my own solution. That was 8 years ago and what ultimately started my Quick Base building.

2. What is one Quick Base feature that you are grateful for and what did it change for you?
* Automations has been a dramatic change to the way I build apps. Very excited for Pipelines!

3. In the last year what is a challenge that you tackled that helped grow your skills and pushed you out of your comfort zone? How did it push your skills to grow?
* Templating templates. It was rough but extremely useful with automations.

4. What is one time saving trick you have picked up this year that has proven itself to be a blessing?
* A personal builder account where I have a house hold app. My wife and I use it to plan trips and make sure we pack all the items for the kids. I also use it for chores and reminders.

I am grateful for the person who gave me the advice, "Quit being meek about this.  Don't beg for acceptance.  Demand it."  This reshaped my career and resulted in a well-deserved promotion.

I am grateful for the apps we have built for ourselves to help make our weekly tasks and duties more manageable. By building out additional functionality within these apps, most notably more report notifications and subscriptions, I've been able to significantly reduce the amount of Outlook tasks that I use, making it easier to focus on more important daily activities.

1.What is one piece of professional/workplace advice that you are most grateful to have received
I was advised to routinize and automate the things about my job that I liked the least and spend that extra time throwing myself into the parts of my job I liked the most (and were normally the most challenging).

2. What is one Quick Base feature that you are grateful for and what did it change for you?
Automations, without a doubt. It seems like with Quick Base I took a bunch of 10 minute tasks and made them 2 minute tasks. When automations came along I made a bunch of those 2 minute tasks effortless by completing them with automations.

3. In the last year what is a challenge that you tackled that helped grow your skills and pushed you out of your comfort zone? How did it push your skills to grow?
I went into a role that was client focused and instruction-based. Those were things I hadn't done much of previously and it was a great chance for me to really lean in and stretch those skills.

4. What is one time saving trick you have picked up this year that has proven itself to be a blessing?
Working a lot more with Magic Buttons. Spending more time building out buttons that prepopulate forms to make my end user's lives easier and save A LOT of time.
