Apps, Performance, and Best Practice
I prefer to have a very limited number of apps, as management can be come quite labor intensive, and I tend to find cross app relationships with some limitations or inconveniences versus staying with...

Another question - I have one table that I have what seems to be an absurd number of report links (20ish). It's been a good way for my users to be able to view a lot of information in one place, but I suspect this is a bit tedious for QB? I've considered being very selective in which ones I actually display (which right now is all of them) versus just displaying a link. I suspect this helps the speed in which the record will load, but I am not sure.
Right now, the record can be cumbersome to open in edit mode. However, I wonder if this is a browser limitation as when opened on a mobile device it's quite quick.
Does anyone have any experience/tips/thoughts on report links?

Qrew LegendBest practice 99% of the time is to set the form the way it defaults which is to have report links fields load the child tables separately and use Tabs for Desktop forms to allow Quick Base to present the form to the user with the minimum number of report link child tables populated. That takes a lot of load to say run 8 reports and maybe the user only cares about or two of those child tables at that moment. They would probably load fast in mobile because they only have to pull the data when you click to view the report.
If you can put embedded reports in Tabs, then the system will not try to pull the report(s) unless the user clicks the Tab.
Quick Base is single threaded for all basic operations, so if the form takes 3 seconds to populate then every other user is frozen until that form loads for those 3 seconds.
