Use New/Updated Flag in Report Filter

I would create a formula - checkbox field called New or Recently Updated.  This field will be checked if the record is new or recently updated. It will be up to you to determine the amount of time that defines "new or recently updated".  See example formula below.

You can then use this field as filters in your reports.

var number daysConsideredNewOrRecentlyUpdated = 2;
If
(
ToDays(ToDate([Date Modified])-Today())<$daysConsideredNewOrRecentlyUpdated
,true
,false
)

Thanks for the reply!  As a surrogate this is great

Still, there is data in QB I wish I could get at.  QB knows the last time someone logged in.  That is how it knows if it should be displaying these flags.  So, if someone logs in every day the flags would go away in 24 hours.  If someone, doesn't log in for a week they still get the benefit of knowing if something has been updated since the last time they have logged in.  It is a powerful personalization that already exists in the system.  I want to use that!  Too bad I don't seem to be able to access this existing piece of data as a piece of data and not just a blanket filter on a report.

Hi Tate,

If being able to set up a filter to allow you to combine the New and Updated records with a status value as well would be helpful for your business process I would suggest adding that request to our User Voice. It is the user feedback platform our Product Development team uses to track customer feedback on requests for new features and enhancements to existing features. The Quick Base User voice can most easily be accessed from the My Apps page in Quick Base by clicking on the orange Feedback tab that appears on the right of the page or at http://quickbase.uservoice.com by signing in with your Quick Base credentials.

In the interim if your dashboard is getting too cluttered with repeating reports but you would still like to make access to them possible one short term option is to create a button bar with buttons set to open up the reports that have been filtered to only show new and updated records for that user or to show the in progress reports. This way they can at least get to the report with one more click, allowing them to know where to find the report since you are running out of real estate on the Dashboard. 

I hope that information is helpful Tate and thank you very much for your time today.
