>don't see any way to grab the administrator view
I have hundreds of public demos available and it would be impossible to make any of them available to everyone on the internet as an administrator. A lot of my answers and demos are crafted in a manner that addresses the fact that they are public and I don't want to have to maintain them constantly so sometimes I answer a slightly different questions than what is asked. But rest assured every single well formed question in this forum has an answer with a positive outcome. The hardest part for me in answering a question is figuring out what the heck the person is asking (not the case here) and of course coming up with a good attention grabbing gimmick that will induce readers to reflect on my ever so subtle subliminal messages.
>Did you build this with simple calculated fields, or within Dynamic Rules?
No. I use the standard IOL technique documented in the pastie which uses a code page containing script. I would also add that I just put some random priority logic in the script not necessary the logic you would require. It would be a simple matter to implement other logic, limit the precision of percentages or prevent negative number etc.
With the passage of time the QuickBase Singularity has arrived. We are converged and everything is now possible with QuickBase (using script).

BTW, Mark is probably working out a native solution as we speak. He likes to achieve native parity with script - try as he will. - WaynePendley8 years agoQrew TraineeSorry Dan, I was so distracted by your Meatloaf graphic that I missed the Pastie Database link. I have now made my way back to that and see the script you used for this quickie demo. Alas, it is beyond my ability. (I use Quick Base to avoid writing code whenever possible.)
