Custom Home Page Widgets

Thank you Chuck,

I think a custom code option is the way to go.

I have successfully embedded an HTML page on the Quickbase home page that includes the buttons I want.

Where I am having difficulties is with using the response from API_GetNumRecords.

After that I then have to figure out how to apply a filter to the API call.

Any experience?

Ok I think you just want to use API_DoQuery instead of API_GetNumRecords. That will just return the total records of a table. An example is below though it's not tested. For Query or (q) in the code. You would place something like this given 25 is the field ID for a field called status and one of the values is Open
var q = "{25.EX.'Open'}"
 
                    $.get(dbidTracts, {
                        act: "API_DoQuery",
                        query: q,
                        clist: clist
                    }, function(xml) {
$("#openBtn").html("Open Tickets (" +xml.length + ")");
})

Hello Chuck,

I have tried experimenting with this but am not sure I know where to start. Were is the table referenced in this code?
