We are trying to test out a new version of a form. Our testing group contains people from roles that all use different dashboards. Say we have 20 people in group 1 using dash 1, 20 in group 2 using dash 2, and 20 in group 3 using dash 3. We want 5 people from each of those groups to test out a new form.If we create a role that uses that new form, and move it up the hierarchy they'll get the new form, but they'll all have to share a dashboard. This is not something we can have them do. They need to continue to use their existing dashboards? When will we have the ability to set Dashboards on a per-user level instead of only on a per-role? And what is the reason behind not allowing that?I understand that in this current scenario our only option is likely to create 3 new roles, but that's silly, and starts to become impossible to maintain once we start needing to have others testing different forms and mix-and-match them from different groups. The most simple solution would be to allow per

Hello! I am attempting to import fields into Quickbase, and encountering the following error:The 'Value'='~flSortEnabled=true~flColShow=cb,label,richType,whichRel,id,actions,end~flLastColSort=richType~flLastColSortOrder=asc~' part of the cookie is invalid.I have tried multiple times. Using a CSV upload, plain text in the file, all Project IDs match. I even tried only 1 row upload and still got the error. I'm curious if it's because I am trying to upload dates in the MM-DD-YYYY format.Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Where does the 'ifv=1' parameter go in a report query formula URL, such as the one below?URLRoot() & "db/" & "XXXXXX" & "?a=q&qt=tab&dvqid=X&query=({'10'.EX.[Request ID]})&clist=48.41.15.26.4.30"

Hello!I want to pull employee data (name, email, work location, etc) from a connected table that gets fed from our HR system. My connected table uses the Employee ID as the key, but I could change it.An employee goes into the app to submit a new report, they have to put in their ID number to find their info. I want the connected table to automatically populate the employee's data based on the current user, without them having to do anything. We have 1700 employees who will be using this submission process so we're a little concerned about mistakes being made and not putting in the correct ID number, therefore submitting a report for someone else.I've tried to do this in a couple of ways, and I just can't get it to work. Ideas are very much appreciated!

How would you go about removing one Username from all the records in a table where the User-list contains that Username and still leave any other username selection untouched?Manually, one record at a time?Grid Edit and unselect the one Username, oh and any of the deactivated users or you can't save the record?Export, find and replace, upsert? 

In the old form builder, I can create rules that allow to use data from any other fields, just like how you build email notifications.  I used this to update a logging field.  ie.. User [userfield] changed the status to [statusfield]Attached is an exampleIs this still not possible in the NEW form rules?  

In our main app we have around 4,000 placeholder users in addition to our regular and denied users. ~8 of them have actual names of real users. Most of them are simply a random number like this:  ""-527502726"". I had contacted support and they were unable to tell me much about placeholders other than they are possibly imports that have gone bad in some way. They told me it is impossible to know where they are coming from or what created them as they do not have any kind of tracking in the system for this. That was a little surprising to hear.Their suggestion was to just remove the placeholders. We eventually did this. Thursday of last week I removed them with the big "Remove Placeholders" button on the manage users tab next to Home and everything was good. I came in today and all 4k placeholder users are back in the user list. I have reached out to support again but because of the fact that they could tell me nothing about them previously I am hoping someone in the community

I have 2 step sign-in enabled on my builder account but for the past 24+ hours have not been receiving the sign in code. Have tried the "I didn't get an email" button, but nothing ever arrives. Checked Inbox, Spam, and Trash. My email is working and receiving other emails.Anyone have a similar experience? I can't submit a support ticket, since builder accounts don't have that option and I can't log in anyway. I also can't disable 2-step sign-in. I'm basically locked out of my builder account because the email with the sign-in code never arrives.

Hello! I am having some difficulties import/exporting from a QB report. This functionality only seems to be available in the Table Homepage, however that does not work for my use case. I need to be able to work offline in an Excel CSV file on specific fields, and then be able to import those fields (associated to a project ID) into my Table. I have over 700 fields in my Table, but the Excel CSV will only have around 40 fields/columns that require updating.When I try to import/export from my Report, that functionality is not available. When I try to import/export from the Table Homepage, I end up exporting all 700 fields/columns, making it really difficult to work on the records offline.What is the best way to solve this problem statement? Thank you in advance!

I have a master price table containing part numbers and customer prices and a child table that adds parts to a customer work order table. I set up a snapshot field to in the child table to capture the current price of a part being added from the master price table. When the part number is selected from the master price table, and  before save is clicked, I want to do some calculations on the current price such calculating Qty. x current price and the sales tax for the part. The problem is the snapshot field isn’t valued until after the record is saved so my calculations for the extended price (Qty x Price) and sales tax don’t display any data until after the record is saved.  Is there a way to do calculations on the snapshot field before saving?I don’t want to base calculations on the lookup field in the master table because I only want the calculations to be based upon the part price when it was first saved    

Hello,It seems like there isn't any way to add a "Section Heading" element on QuickBase's new forms. On the legacy forms, I can add a section heading element as way to divide fields with a blue line (see the "Legacy Form" screenshot I've attached). On the new forms, I can't find any way to add a section heading. See the "New Form" and "New Form (Editor)" images I've attahced for reference on how the new forms I created look. Are section headings not available on QuickBase new forms? Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I have a report that uses parameters to select the information on the report.  I want to show on the report what values were entered for each parameter.  Is there a way to show this in a title or on the report somewhere?  

Hello!I've recently setup a button for my users to be able to send their customers a receipt of delivery. I've used a Secure Link for the customer to be able to open the receipt and setup the URL so it opens in edit, so they can scroll down and click a checkbox to confirm delivery.However, when testing I'm noticing that even after I save and close as an outside user, the checkbox doesn't actually update on the record. Is there something I'm missing in either my Secure Link or the EOTI permissions that would cause this behavior?Attached are screenshots of the record from my admin view, and a screenshot of the field from the customer's view.Thank you in advance!

Looking to see if anyone has knowledge of the engine Quickbase is using in the Document Template (Doc Gen) feature? Reason: We are hand editing the source to gain control over the layout. Each time we paste our edited and functional HTML into the Source window and save, the Document Template engine modifies the HTML. When we print the Template the layout does not meet end User requirements.If we know what Quickbase is using, we can read the documentation and learn what HTML is allowed. It is obvious the HTML engine is not compliant with HTML5 and we are struggling.We are chasing our tails. Any ideas ... aside from using a third party solution.
