Qrew LegendThere are two ways to specify which record to view or edit or really any API call or URL mimic that we do.
The usual way is to specify the record ID#.
ie ... ?a=dr&rid=123 will display Record ID# 123. That uses our usual digits from 0-10. "Base 10"
However, Quickbase also recognizes Base 32. That uses also letters of the alphabet plus numbers.
When you see &r=xxx and not rid=xxx that means it is in the base 32 encoding. If you ever wanted to prove that to yourself you could use the function they recently gave us to convert into base 32 or there is an opposite function to decode from Base 32 back to Base 10. https://login.quickbase.com/db/6ewwzuuj?a=dr&r=gd&rl=n37
I have my own private theory that when Quickbase was invented back in 1999 memory was very expensive so keeping things small was important and perhaps base 32 was a more efficient way to store data.
So, basically it's like temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Just another way to refer to the same record.

- So if I convert cu to base 10, should that be my record ID?
But further, considering when I click on the link it works fine, but at minimum 2 other people that click on the link, it's an error - the link is not the issue. I have some other issue....hmmmm
