Hi Ryan,
It would be nice if the survey asked what we would like the dashboards to do, which I bet would get a lot of great suggestions. Ability to up-vote suggestions would also be nice, as I bet that many people have the same issues or wishes. I tried to log in to the Uservoice platform you linked in your reply to Delynn, but my usual QuickBase login was not accepted, I don't know why.
Here are some of the limitations I run into currently with QuickBase dashboards, that I would love to see resolved in future releases:
- Limited ability to control report/chart size, spacing and layout
- Inability to adjust button sizes or appearance, and inability to have multiple button colors in a single button bar (e.g. to differentiate report buttons from new record buttons)
- Selecting "do not show title" still leaves a big blank space where the title would otherwise go
- Only one dashboard for entire app, inability to make multiple dashboards or individual dashboards for separate tables (may be fixed with EDs?)
- There are bugs in the dashboard related to Formula - Rich Text fields (color selections not preserved)
- Can't control/filter displays based on conditionals such as day of the week
- Dashboards do not print well and seem to have limited ability to control print options (may be fixed with EDs?)
- Graphical limitations including small number of datapoints, no color spectrum/gradient options, no ability to assign colors to categorical or multiple choice variables across multiple/all charts
- It sounds like EDs will add some slicer functionality, but Power BI allows multiple slicers that can control all tables and charts on a display and even sync to other displays/dashboards, which is extremely useful.
I'm happy that QuickBase is continuously adding new features and functionality, but until I can have more control over the appearance and features of the dashboards, I will have to continue using other tools such as Power BI for the majority of my displays and reporting tools.
Best,
