QuickBase Architecture Considerations
So, I'm new to QuickBase, and I'm trying to understand the true intent of this 'codeless' application. I have a complex set of data interactions that I must control, and I'm wondering if I should...

In my experience It is much easier and easier to maintain in one application. When you have things in different apps, you have to have the users in all apps, and generally speaking it makes it harder to keep track of.
I've built apps that have 40+ tables for very complex workflows and information.
I'm curious, what is your use case or industry that you are trying to solve this for?

- My company is a non-profit organization that has members located throughout my state. These groups (roughly 2000) are organized in a variety of ways. One primary aspect of my app or apps will be to organize these groups and their constituents and properties in an easily accessible way to my group's employees or other internal actors.
The other primary concern involves the variety of stakeholders we interact with in order to conduct business. These groups (roughly 20) all have initiatives they require we meet in order to satisfy their concerns. We represent our ability to meet these requirements through a variety of reports that track our involvement with our member groups. Many of these objectives are redundant, but all stakeholders have their own scope or perspective concerning the work we do, i.e. - 'Create Jobs', 'Educate', 'Conserve', 'Train', etc.. so our reports must be tailored to any given objective.
So, I have quite a task in front of me, and QuickBase is the tool I was given. I'm new at the moment, but I'm sure if I pull this off, I'll be QuickBase GrandMaster, or whatever similar title they have. :)
I dunno if this helps, but I felt inclined to share.
Thanks again,
~Rob - You'll just want to map out the process and possibly built some simple test apss to get the hang of things before you dive head long into it.
Maybe pick one part of the business and solve for that first, then expand from there.
p.s. have you ever been to a Biscuit game? I used to play for them back in the day. - Are you serious?! Absolutely! The fireworks over the river are one of m'kids (and, admittedly, my) favorite things!
What a small world. Well, I guess. I haven't looked at your profile to see where you are. Maybe you're still near?
Also, I will definitely start small. Thank you for the advice.
:)
~Rob - I retired last summer and moved to Utah, but Montgomery will always have a spot for me. Who knows when I'll make it back there.
-Cheers - This was in 2014
- Well the kids and I probably did a little yelling for you (or at you) back in the day. ;)
This is just great! I can't wait to show the kids in the AM. I can't imagine how fun it was being down on the diamond.
Pretty crazy running into you this way.
~Rob Here are the kids at one game in 2013. Perhaps you were there. ;)
