Problem Framing Quick Base AppToken Page
For years, I've embedded the Quick Base AppToken page in a frame to provide instructions around it on how to add an AppToken. This is to make it easier to use one of my add-ons that requires an app...

I have been trying to figure out how to do this and it would not work for me. Now I know why. It would be super helpful if there could be a main dashboard, maybe on the My Apps page, to display relevant reports from many apps that can be designed as default or per user.
- Michelle,
Are you talking about being able to have a dashboard with reports from other Quick Base apps or other websites? - Other QuickBase Apps. I have tried the url buttons, I've tried the website widget...cannot get it to display.
- Why can�t you do a web widget? What�s the symptom of the problem?
- You can also use a web widget to embed a whole dashboard in a dashboard. Suffix the URL with
&ifv=1
To hide the table headers. - This is what I see when I try to embed the whole dashboard...

If I click the box on the upper right of the web widget window it opens the report on a new page, it just won't display it on the dashboard.
The small print says bridgethesselink.quickbase.com refused to connect. - Michelle, from what you describe, and the screenshot, this is probably due to the same issue that I hit. In that Quick Base realm, in settings in the Security policies section, the option "Prevent embedding in iframes" is probably enabled. More details on this setting in the Quick Base help page found here:
https://help.quickbase.com/user-assistance/realm_security_policies.html
If you can, disable (i.e. uncheck) that option and see if it solves your problem. Let us know. Thanks. - I agree. If you can't find that setting, put in a support ticket to have iframes enabled for your Realm. I did not consider the possibility that they were locked out for internal Quick Base apps.
