Hello all!We have a Wiki app that tracks all pipelines in our realm (along with other items regarding our apps). The process is for whomever created the pipeline to create a new record to enter details about the pipeline (pipelineID, name, description, etc.). The problem is that not all our builders remember this process. Someone on my team asked if we could create a pipeline that enters at least a placeholder record in the Wiki app with some details of the pipeline. I thought it was a great out of box idea but don't know if it's possible. Would love any ideas/insight any of you can provide.
It seems that timeline reports are not available to be slected when setting up a document template. Has anyone figured out a workaround for this?
Good day everyone! This is likely convoluted. I haven't been able to figure a way to actually do this and I feel like I'm missing something obvious. I have a couple of tables that will hold some information.The tables involved: Asset TableAffected AssetTicket Asset The asset table hosts the information of the Asset itself (Serial Number etc). We create a new record in the Affected Asset table based off the information in the Asset table that attaches ticket information to it. I'm trying to add information to the affected Asset Table that when we create that record, it will record what's wrong with that asset and why we are getting it back.What I want to do is. When we go to add the Asset onto an OOW Ticket, that it populates the Ticket Asset Report with the Latest "laptop Issue" field based off the Assets Serial Number (unique identifier). I am unsure how to grab the most up to date. I likely skipped a step by cutting out the Asset Table i
Click image to enlarge We’ve just rolled out another improvement to our Support Case Management system, this time focused on making life easier for our customers. You can now add Case Watchers in the Support Portal. Watchers receive no-reply email notifications whenever a case is updated, whether that is via Email or Portal Post. Why this matters: ✅ Great for Realm and Account Admins who want lifecycle visibility without being CC’d on every thread ✅ Enables executive awareness on high-profile or sensitive cases ✅ Clean, structured notification including case ID, subject, who updated it, and the update content ✅ Sent from our no-reply mailbox to keep communication intentional and clutter-free Click image to enlarge We're proud to be delivering something customers have explicitly asked for. A watcher can be added to a case initially, at the time you create your request, but also later - from the case layout. The updates are much clear
Is there a way to open the record in a larger pop-up or to open the record is full view?I have a report on the main from of child records but when you click view or edit it opens in a pop-up and it's just to small.Thanks

I am trying to convert a field that is not a user field to be able to read first name, middle name, last name. I have a field that reads last name, first name middle name/initial (Smith,John Q). I want a field where I can convert it to read as John Q Smith. I have found a formula that I think may work but when I try it, it just shows the original format (Smith,John Q). Is there something I need to update or another formula to use to accomplish this?

I have a checklist which is 20 or so checkbox questions across 5 different Sections, to work through a field inspection. I am looking to provide a visual representation of when Section 1s 5 check boxes are not clicked it would show red/ not started, when 1 or more but less than the 5 are checked it would show yellow/ in-progress, and when all 5 check boxes are clicked it would show green/ complete. And I would do this foreach Section. What is the best way to complete this and be able to show it in a Form and on a Report view? Thanks.

I have three tables, Audits>Questions>NonconformitiesAudits have multiple questionsQuestions have multiple nonconformitiesI'd like to display the # of nonconformities related to the audit on the audit table without creating a new relationship between audits and nonconformities. I've got this accomplished currently just doing a summary field from nonconformities to questions and then questions to audits but had to disable drill down since clicking it only took you to the 'parent' question table. Is there a rich text formula that could show # of nonconformities related to an audit with drill down that would go to the 'child' nonconformities table?
I have recently closed my business and opened a new one with a new domain name. I already updated my company name in the admin settings, but I have one concern - before I change my email domain... I need to know will changing the email domain in Quickbase break any of my pipelines or my imports?My application relies heavily on imports, which I know from experience will break when I make a new copy of the app. I just need to know before I start, because if it does break I have a lot of work to do before I can do anything else.Thanks!
Has anyone had success with the CopyText.html code page?I have implemented it an application per instructions from the Code Pages app and when I click on the URL button, a new page opens with only this text on it: "This page will close momentarily."This is the URL formula: URLRoot() & "db/" & AppID() & "?a=dbpage&pageID=27&copyText=" & URLEncode([Notes])This is the code page:<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Title</title> </head> <body> This page will close momentarily. <script> let urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search); let copyText = urlParams.get('copyText'); navigator.clipboard.writeText(copyText).then(function() { setTimeout(function () { window.close();} , 250) }) </script> </body> </html> <!-- These code samples are provided "AS IS" without any w
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) has long been one of the most powerful—and most complex—topics in Quickbase. Over the years, we’ve talked about ALM in many places: Empower sessions, webinars, blog posts, and deep technical discussions. We’ve built advanced tools like solution APIs and QBL that give teams incredible control over change management. But through all of that work, one goal stayed constant: Make ALM simple, approachable, and usable for every Quickbase builder—not just developers. Built for Builders, Not Just Engineers Not everyone using Quickbase comes from a software development background. Many builders just want a safe, reliable way to improve their solutions without risking what’s already in production. That’s why, in 2025, we began building a native ALM experience directly into the Quickbase platform, designed to support a simple but powerful idea: Separate building from using. With the new ALM capabilities, you can now easily create Dev + Test + Prod environment
My table has a Latest Record checkbox to identify the most recent entry among records with the same email address. That's the record that I would want updated to trigger a notification when the conditions are met by one ore more of the other records. I have a pipeline setup with On New Bulk Event as the trigger but the test run lead to the multiple record version of the notification being sent. Is there a way to only have the Add A Bulk Upsert Row done only if the record id for that row doesn't exist in the "bucket" already? If so, how do I do that?I figured I would try to see if I could get the pipeline to work before re-engineering my whole approach to avoid the multiple record version of the notification being sent. FYI - it's possible and likely that multiple records in the trigger array will have different email addresses, thus, multiple records would need to get the update to trigger separate notifications. Let me know if I need to provide more
Is it possible to dynamically change the title displayed on an add record form (e.g. "Add [single record name]")?In the attached screenshot I have a table called Activities, which has the display name Communications in my sidebar. I would like my primary add form to say "Add Communication" instead of "Add Activity" to match the display name.Of course I could change the table's "A single record is called..." setting, but I'd prefer not to do this for the same reason I'm using a different display name in the first place, i.e. a client requested the change and the app already has a lot of dependencies based on the original name I'd prefer not to have to worry about.I'll change the table name if I have to, but what I really want is to be able to change the text displayed on my add forms dynamically based on the use case.The same table also stores notes which are not associated with an actual communication, but still belong on the same table for simplicity's sake (tl;dr the two types of rec
I am trying to plot a Risk History line chart over time. I want the line to connect from the last known value to the current value, bridging the gap over dates where no record exists.The Setup:Table: Risk History (Child table)Fields: [Snapshot Date], [Risk Name], [Risk Score]Data Structure: The data is "Sparse." I only have a row for a specific date if a snapshot was taken for that specific Risk.Example: Risk A has rows for Jan 1 and Jan 5. Risk B has a row for Jan 3.The Problem: When I use a standard Line Chart, the X-axis includes "Jan 3" because Risk B has data there. However, because Risk A has no record for Jan 3, the chart forces Risk A’s value to 0 (or null), causing the line to plummet to the bottom and then shoot back up on Jan 5.What I’ve Tried:Filtering: I tried filtering the report to [Risk Score] != 0 or null. This didn't work, presumably because there is no record to filter; the chart engine is generating the "0" because the data is missing.Scatter Plot: I switched the ch
While using an iPhone or iPad mobile device, I'm trying to figure out how to display the filter icon on reports, but can't get it to display. Is the option to change report filters on mobile devices still supported?See the attached screen shot for for an example of what I'm looking for. I'm using Safari as the browser and also tried displaying the filter icon using the Quickbase mobile app.Thanks, Jim Lieder
I am utilizing the OpenAsPopup class to open a small form as a popup window when a user clicks a button. Is there an attribute for OpenAsPopup (or any other technique for that matter) that will enable me to control the position of the popup window?Ideally the window should appear close to where the button was clicked. Barring this the middle of the screen would be preferable to the default, top-left position.
Coming to everyone on 24th February Don't want to read? - Watch the video instead: Over the past few months, I’ve been sharing how AI Actions can be used inside Pipelines to extract insights from emailsanalyze complex documents like 10-K filingsand even generate weekly report summaries automatically The feedback has been great. You love the flexibility and power.But it's also been very clear where things could be better. Questions like: How do I construct the desired output? What is "JSON schema"? How do I give the AI all the context without stitching together dozens of fields? Can I pass images, not just documents and spreadsheets? The release on the 24th will be about answering those questions. With three major improvements, AI Actions becomes easier to use, more context-aware, and far more versatile — without changing the core idea: one simple step that lets AI reason over your pipeline data directly inside your workflows. This release introduces: A Structured AI Outpu

Hello,I am kind of a new Admin, so please excuse me if I miss something simple.I have a role I created that should have full permission to add, delete, and edit records in a table. I am an Admin, so I can edit the field that is giving us problems. However, the person in that role cannot edit that same field. For this particular table I checked everything to give him full access, but he still cannot make changes to this field in any given record.Any Idea what I am missing. Is there a time frame thing I don't know about?
Does anyone know of a way, via either API or Pipelines themselves, to retrieve a list of Pipelines in a realm?I've built a table of implemented automations in my app, which documents the purpose, functionality, logic, etc. for various automations both within Quickbase and externally and was hoping I could scrape a list of existing pipelines to keep the table current.
