Dear QuickBase people,

The slower speed/performance of QuickBase appears to be directly corelated to the amount of unwanted "New Features" nobody is asking for.

Just sayin.

I haven't noticed a slower speed/performance; however, I agree there are a lot of "new features" that a lot of us did not want/ask for.

The new gauge charts are NOT gauge charts....

Here is one example of a KPI Dashboard where the Widget color corresponds to the Gauge chart color.  So it works well for my purposes to put many icons an a single Dashboard KPI screen.

Hi team, a few thoughts here, as this discussion has a decent amount going on.

  1. Anyone who is experiencing slowness or performance challenges in their apps should review this with our Technical Support team or your Customer Success Manager to see if there are ways we can optimize your performance. Performance is going to vary app to app, realm to realm, account to account, as there's a ton of variability within Quickbase.
  2. If there's an individual feature you're not liking, we need this to be entered in product feedback. KCabreira if you do submit an idea, tell us more about the value you were getting from the old gauge and how the new one is limiting you. Tell us about how you're using the Gauge Chart in the idea. 
  3. In general, and trust me, I understand how emotion can dictate what we communicate, especially in written form, but I would strongly encourage people from not using hyperbole when you are attempting to represent a problem. "Everyone hates this!!" "Literally no one likes this feature!!!" It's incorrect. And you flat out don't know this. You are allowing your emotion to cloud and disrupt you way you articulate your feedback. We hear lots of feedback on new features, the good and the bad. I would much rather read "I hate this," or "I have not spoken to anyone yet who likes this" as those statements, while obviously still not great for Quickbase, do better represent something that is true. But an even better way to do this is to...
  4. Make feedback actionable. "Bring back the old nav" is not actionable. "Here's a running list of every challenge I am having today with the New Nav" with the different challenges written out in list form makes it clear the exact points of pain. Pointing out how in the Old Nav the lost functionality that added value, gives the Product team steps they can do to improve the feature.
  5. Quickbase is spelled without the capitalized B. Come on folks.

KCabreira   If you use a "Home Page" as opposed to a "New Dashboard", then you will see the Gauge chart render normally like a speedometer format. Maybe a Home Page is better suited to your needs.
