Re: "New Style"

Just checking in.

Quickbase's "new style" still sucks as bad as it did when I made the original post above back on 12-31-2020.

- It is still horribly slow
- It is still full of bugs

I liken it to Fallout 76. (For those that might know what I am talking about)

Any idea if/when it will be fixed?

    I don't think it will ever be fixed. They are so committed to it, even though it's worthless. They can't admit that they pushed it on us too early.

    The only possibility would be if we could reach enough account users, and large account users that band together and state we will not renew our licenses or stop paying until they give us a working product. Money is the only thing that would change their mind at this point.

    Unfortunately, I do not know that we can get that level of organization together between developers, but if someone can spearhead, I would be on board. Like I said in my post above, I am excited and understanding of the New Form and Pipelines, but am not on board with them forcing them both on us before they are ready for use.

      We have a meeting today with Boginya Ventsislavova Product Manager to discuss an email I received text below:

      Begin quote
      "We are reaching out as we saw your Community post. Let me first say that we appreciate your time in capturing this performance problem with the table report. We'd love to better understand the problems you're having. It would be very helpful if you wouldn't mind answering a few questions for us:

       

      • When did you notice this performance issue - did it recently get worse? In your mind, when would you say it was "okay-ish" and when do you feel it got worse?
      • Does enabling "searchable" in the field properties for "Avg Score" affect the performance most?
      • Does any other field by itself affect the performance greatly when turning "searchable" back on?
      • Can you also confirm for us the filed types you have in place? We do suspect you're using a formula field, although we wanted to be sure about this assumption."
      End quote

      I'll update this post if we come to any conclusions or realizations after the meeting. If that doesn't satisfy I agree with Michael to continue to drive a solution.

        Thx Jim,
        I have some examples of slow reports which may help them identify issues, so I'd appreciate if I  could also speak to the PM.

        I have found that unlike the old report, the speed of the new ones is device dependent, especially where there are Rich Text fields on the report.  ie if you are on a hot machine, the reports render more quickly than if you are on say a slow iPad, whereas on the old reports they were device independent.
