Fast Field

Fastfield is a mobile first product.  But you need to understand that it's a stand alone product where the  the "integration" with your Quickbase app is via Pipelines in the sending direction to FastFields and the equivalent of a Pipeline using a Fast Fioeld "automation" (I forget what its called) to send the record back to Quickbase.  . 

A typical use case is to "dispatch" a record to FastField (via a pipeline) and that would cause a record to appear on the field technician's Fast Field App. The geoocation can be captured along with pictures which can be annotated  and marked up with drawing tools, ands then the Field Technician would submit the form and the Equivalent of a Pipeline on the FF side will write the record back to Quickbase.

Sometime in Q1 they expect to have better support for maintaining the Parent tables in Fast Field.  So for example if the Field Tech needs to select from a drop down of choices where the source of truth is Quickbase, there is not an easy way to keep that parent table updated in Fast Fields.  Quickbase  knows that's a deficiency and they plan to address it with new Pipeline step choices in Q1 2024.
