Hello Qrew, Thanks to all who were able to attend Tuesday’s App Builders Qrew Meetup. Here’s what we discussed: Secure Links for External Access Matt Burger shared how to create secure links that allow external users to access specific records without needing a Quickbase login. He also covered advanced features like setting access windows with start/end dates and a centralized control panel to reset all links regularly for enhanced security. Qrew Tip on Secure Links: Always include an expiration or reset mechanism in your access key formula so older links automatically become invalid whenever you update permissions. Access Keys + Real-Time Bulk Upserts Andrew Carbejal-Everts showcased the GetAccessKey() formula that extracts multiple parameters from the URL, maintains them across tables, and enables instant bulk record operations using Table-to-Table Import. To learn more about Andrew’s use case, he wrote a blog to accompany his use case for folks to follow along. Tip from Andrew: Use custom buttons and hide native Quickbase navigation in secure-link workflows to ensure the access key stays active as users navigate the app. Resources shared during the meetup: Secure links FAQ FAQ: What you can access with secure links Builder Program Link QBU: Quick HIIT - Secure Links Video QBU: Quick HIITS Secure Links Supplement PDF QBU: Common URL Parameters Supplement QBU: Quick HIITS Secure Links Presentation Missed this meeting?

UPDATED 6/3/25: Added Resource Deck with codes and formulas to try from PrashantMaheshw. See Attachment below. 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?

Here’s what we discussed: 1) Joe Reynolds, Sr. Solutions Consultant, showcased the power and capabilities of a Builder Account. He shared how he built his soccer coaching soccer team scheduling app which features a game schedule, practice schedule, game plan, and player minutes tracking. Joe also shared a Poker Night App, Travel app and more! 2) We also heard from customers who have built their own personal apps including a game tracking app, insurance inventory app, and so much more. I was very impressed with the many creative Apps and ideas shared by the Qrew! 3) We also did a quick overview of Builder Accounts benefits and limitation, and how to leverage it for learning Quickbase and testing new product releases. Joe shared an awesome Qrew tip! He recommends using the builder account to create and store templates of forms, reports, buttons, pipelines, etc., so you can bring with you to another job, etc. He also let us know that Quikbase Mobile is included with the Builder Account to test and use with your personal apps, but FastField is currently not available. 4) If you haven’t opened a builder account or having logged in for a while, you can register and login with your personal email here: https://www.quickbase.com/builder-program 5) Sad you missed out on this session?

Hello App Builders Qrew! I have a question for you: How many folks currently have a Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) process at our Organization? If you do have an ALM process, do you use a Quickbase app to manage it or is it managed in another tool? If you do not have an ALM process, is it something you are planning to add in the future? Let's start a discussion and share your thoughts below!April App Builders Qrew Recap and Upcoming Agenda for May
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?
