Copying the Structure of the App
Hello, I'm looking to test a couple changes to an app. I don't have access to sandbox so want to copy the structure of the apps without data. The user base for the app is fairly active, usually wit...

Thanks Mark for the quick response!
I'm also wondering if the "copy structure" function is accessible to all qb "plans." I believe we use the Premiere option, which is why we don't have access to the sandbox.

But the copy of the app is a separate app that has its own separate life. Obviously any changes you making a copy of app are just for testing purposes and would have to be re-implemented in the live app from scratch.
The sandbox feature is not widely used by my clients but in theory it does let you do your changes in the sandbox and then promote them to the live app.

- Thanks Mark. One by one checking off any possible issues here! Really appreciate it.
Do you know of a way to find out the size (in terms of MBs) a copy of the structure would be? We're worried about possibly hitting a data cap with our plan.
When we make a copy without the data, it won't include any of the record IDs or anything other that the structure map, right?

Quickbase has limits on the amount of data, but data is data and the structure itself does not count toward your data limits.
