May 2025 App Builder Qrew Meet Up Recap
Hello App Builders Qrew! Thank you all who were able to attend yesterday’s App Builders Qrew Meet Up. Here’s what we discussed: Certifications & Community: Over 163 new Quickbase user earned certifications from Jan 2025 to present! We’ll will be doing monthly recognitions, raffle drawings, and more to celebrate this great achievement. Click here if you want to get Quickbase Certified. Four use cases from Krishna Beads, Inc. (Minute 5:37) Excel to Quickbase Migration Prashant Maheshwari demoed how his organization moved from “Excel hell” (sprawling, multi-tabbed spreadsheets and endless emails) to a centralized Quickbase app, making weekly updates, handoffs, and history tracking seamless. Living Images for Status (Minute 9:21) Prashant showed off dynamic “living images” using rich text formulas-visual status indicators that update in real time and can be referenced across tables, streamlining production meetings and status checks. ChatGPT for Formula Generation (Minute 12:43) Next, he walked through using ChatGPT to generate Quickbase rich text formulas for status indicators, enabling non-coders to create and tweak visual workflows fast. HTML Tables in Reports (Minute 17:05) Prashant also demonstrated embedding HTML tables in reports to consolidate multiple data points and images into a single, visually organized space-especially useful for image-heavy workflows. ChatGPT & Code Pages (Minute 38:35) Dwight Munson from Signa Health jumped in on the fly to share his experience using ChatGPT to build custom code pages with JavaScript in Quickbase. He noted it can take 30–40 iterations to get production-ready code, but it’s a great starting point for custom solutions. Missed the meeting?

Hello App Builders! Thank you to all who were able to attend Wednesday’s App Builder Qrew Meet Up. Here’s what we discussed: User-Focused Technique for Flexible Data Management Mark Shneir shared a user-focused approach that lets users quickly add child records to a parent, filter and view data in reports, and temporarily link unrelated tables using a “wildcard” user focus table. This technique streamlines data management and enhances the user experience, and it’s one that he uses with clients at least twice a month. Real-World Use Cases Mark also shared examples of how to quickly add team members or order items to projects, matching delivery truck requirements with team member skills, and efficiently associating orphan time records with invoices using his shared techniques. These scenarios demonstrate how it supports complex, multi-user workflows. Learning and Adoption While creating URL formula buttons can be a challenge, resources like an example app and community support make it easier to learn. The User Focus App in the Exchange by Mark Shnier is available for anyone to download and use as a cheat sheet to apply to your apps. You can access the app here or search “User Focus: in the exchange to find it. Missed the meeting?
