ContributionsMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsUser input to URL with out creating a fieldI would like to prompt a user to add a parameter to a URL Formula. Here is an example: "https://apimachine.mycompany.com/apps/qbd_update.py?days_back="; & (prompt user for number of days back) & "&token=" & [Mytoken] We have our own API server that handles the call, but it requires us to provide a number for the parameter "Days Back". I don't want to create a field for that in Quickbase, I just want to prompt the user for that number in the URL. Thanks in advance... Steve Re: Application VariableThank you to all respondents. Please consider this question resolved. Dan, thanks again for your guidance. We will probably end up doing a variation of your suggestion.Re: Application VariableYou are correct.... I misread your response. I thought it was on an external server. That makes even more sense...Re: Application VariableInteresting.... so, every time we make a call to QB, FIRST set the DBVar and THEN check the token with the call... Definitely, doable... Then I am only changing the token formula on one issuing server. Thank you so much for your help!Re: Application VariablePulled.Re: Application VariableYes! The token changes with time stamps. The other site looks at the token in QB and then checks its own database for the same token (also the same formula).Re: Application VariableWe're getting closer with this, but the variable is a token for us and would need to change at the exact time another site is changing that variable. It works much like a handshake.Re: Application VariableSo here is the formula I want in my app variable: ToText(Floor(Year(Today())/Day(Today())) & ToText(Day(Today()))&"9654"&ToText(Month(Today()))&"3546w") Ultimately, this:100209654123546w would be displayed in a field in the table. I want to be able to change that formula globally. I suppose I could create variables for the parts in quotes and then change those, but would prefer to have the ability to change the whole formula for the entire application and all tables in one place.Re: Application VariableThe function is to create a token for each table adding a level of security when writing or pulling data from that table via API.Application VariableHave a formula I would like in all 75 tables in my application. I have tried making it an application variable, but when added to the tables, it only interprets the formula as text and does not display the result of the formula. Is there an easy way to accomplish this without linking all 75 tables to a "settings/default" table that has the formula in it?
