New Table format issue

I have played around a little bit with the new Table format under beta. The filtering is fine for the most part, but it apparently you can't filter on items that are not shown as columns.

This is a significant reduction in functionality.  We have many reports that are designed to filter on fields that shown as groups.  Quickbase needs to have a way to allow the user to dynamically filter on grouping fields that are not shown as columns.... and I think they should allow the user to filter on any field as is now the case.

I assume other users would think this is important.  I don't want to have to add columns just so I can filter on it. I have been waiting for the new table format for a while and now I am disappointed.

How do we get this changed by QB before the final product is released?  I submitted a case and was just told that's the plan.

  • I was on a call with the Quick Base Product Manager at a demo where I asked this very question.  ie, not wanting to clutter up the width of the report with an extra column.  They are aware of the issue and do have some plans to address that.  I also pointe dout that we needed way not to be offering like 1,000 extra fields to filter on if it was a table with 1,000 fields.

      You can put in a User Voice.  They do read those.

        Alice from Quickbase just responded and said they will have a way to dynamically filter on fields that are not used as columns.
