ContributionsMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsRe: Community Tip Jar: Working Remote and Connecting With Your TeamsOne thing that's important that I haven't seen mentioned is ergonomics. Especially if you had to set up your home "office" in a hurry, you might not have a proper desk and office chair. Do everything you can to make your work space comfortable so you don't end up injuring yourself because your desk is too high, monitors are too low, chair doesn't give good support, etc. If you don't have the right equipment, ask if you can take some home from your office. ------------------------------ Kat Valentine ------------------------------ RE: How can we help you adapt to your new (and evolving) priorities?I don't work for QB, but I might have a few ideas on how to accomplish these items using current functionality. 1. I believe there is an option to send email subscriptions to email addresses that don't have access. What about that doesn't work? 2. You can link Excel to Quick Base, format it, then simply refresh the connection to get the latest data. That's what I do for formatted reports, deliverables with multiple reports, reports I want to do data transformations on in Excel or turn into charts, etc. It's a bit tricky to get working, but once you figure it out, it's very convenient. Here's a couple links for more info:https://getsatisfaction.com/quickbase/topics/automatic-export-from-quickbase-into-excel http://www.kimgentes.com/worshiptech-web-tools-page/2010/8/18/web-connecting-csv-files-as-external-data-to-excel-spreadshe.html For your connection use a URL in the general format of https://yoursite.quickbase.com/db/YOUR_DATABASE?act=API_GenResultsTable&usertoken=YOUR_USER_TOKEN&options=tsv&qid=YOUR_QUERY_ID 3. Agreed, these fields are kind of a pain, and I've also wanted to make some administrative edits to them in the past myself. Overall though, I find there are better way to track changes. I personally have a change log table which has fields for the table and field that was changed, old and new values, when it was changed, and who changed it. You can then show the changes for specific fields (or all fields, if you like) as a report link, run reports to get changes during date ranges, count all changes, etc. I use a webhook to drive mine, but you could probably use an automation or pipeline instead. You just need something to log the change info to the change log table whenever there's a change. 4. I'd also find this useful. Maybe you should suggest it on the User Voice forum? It sounds like you'd get some support. ------------------------------ Kat Valentine ------------------------------ Re: Future meetups?Great, I look forward to it! ------------------------------ Kat Valentine ------------------------------ Re: Community Tip Jar: Keeping Up With Your UsersWhat if you are the admin of the group, but you can't tell who still needs access because you have no way to tell if they are using the app? Hmm.. My best tip for staying connected to users is to actually sit next to them occasionally while they are using your app. You will learn more in fifteen minutes of doing that than you will in hours of anything else you do. You'll identify unexpected uses of your apps and gaps in your training which you can probably easily fix once you know they exist, but that you'll never hear about otherwise. Another trick I've found useful is to have an "announcements" table where you can put info, file attachments, training documents, FAQs, and anything else that's important to communicate to users. Stick it at the top of the homepage, and everyone will naturally see it. (You can have it show only announcements created in the last X days or the last X announcements to keep it from taking up too much valuable real estate.) Doing that has cut down my support requests by at least 90%, which is great for everyone. ------------------------------ Kat Valentine ------------------------------ Future meetups?I haven't seen any emails about meetups in a while, and there aren't any listed as upcoming. Is there a meeting planned for the near future? ------------------------------ Kat Valentine ------------------------------
