I wanted to +1 this post to let anyone seeing it that Robert is awesome, he knows his Quickbase inside and out, and would be a valuable person to know if you're someone living nearby in the Twin Cities. Robert, I'll keep my eyes and ears open and make connections back here if I come across anyone interested! Re: Boston Qrew Meetup - May 21, 2025 I'll be there!!! With bells on! Who else is coming?

Our sincerest apologies to anyone who joined meetups either yesterday or today and is not seeing updates when we cancel. Our challenge here stems from when we make updates to the overall calendar. We had made the decision to bump all April meetups back a week with our Empower user conference taking priority on April 1st. In doing so, clearly this was not communicated well enough on our part. We are sorry for any confusion. Esther and I will be reviewing all planned meetups on the calendar and we will share broadly once we have figured out how to resolve the issue with calendars and Zoom. Ben Re: FastField Integration Is Inappropriate Thanks for showing me examples of what you're seeing, Krista, that's helpful. Joel, thanks again for getting this started as I can see now what you're referring to. This was a recent change to the product made in March. Just so we can make sure this type of feedback gets into the right place, I'd suggest we get a product feedback idea submitted on this topic. "Provide customers with a way to hide FastField ads in Quickbase". One thing to clarify here, and I realize this is secondary to you because it's unrelated to your frustration. But it is important to distinguish. FastField is not an "add-on", nor is it a third-party application. FastField is Quickbase product. An example of an add-on is Audit Logs retention. Customers can purchase Audit Logs retention as an add-on to their existing plan contract with Quickbase. App Restore Assistance is an additional example. Here's the announcement of when Quickbase acquired MergeMobile and its flagship feature, FastField. Here's a blog on how Quickbase and FastField products can work together between field and back office workers. Only sharing the above to ensure we don't confuse anyone as this is public forum and I'd want anyone reviewing this discussion to have accurate information. Most important to you both, I've shared the feedback you provided internally so people in product are aware. As mentioned above it would be great to get this feedback into our product feedback portal to ensure this is seen by the appropriate teams. As this was recently introduced, we'll want customers to voice how it's impacting them and offer ideas on how we can improve. Let me know if there's any questions on the above. Re: FastField Integration Is Inappropriate Hey JoelHickok and KristaSibery, sorry this has been a frustrating experience. I'd love to learn a bit more about what you're seeing. Can we find a time to meet so you can walk me through the areas you're seeing FastField? I want to be in a place where I know exactly what you're referring to so I can take back to internal teams. Calendly - Ben Simon Calendly above if you're game for a quick call. Thanks for raising this, let's see what we can do here. -Ben Re: Empower exceeded all expectations! Thanks for sharing this Mike. We loved how engaged you were this week in New Orleans. You asked great questions, provided awesome feedback, and you showed genuine excitement towards the improvements being made in the product. We're pumped to have people like you in The Qrew! Nominate the Next Qrew Legend Qrew, an important task lies ahead for you: Nominations are open for our 2025 Qrew Legend! From now through February 21st, nominate one person in the Qrew who has made the biggest impact on your Quickbase success. To nominate a Qrew Legend, click here. Who can I nominate? Any non-Quickbase employee Qrew member. This award is about recognizing one of you, not us! Any tips on who to choose? The person you nominate should be obvious to you. Nominate the individual who has made the biggest impact on you through their knowledge share or content. This could be an individual who has provided helpful content you have used to become a better user of Quickbase. It could be someone who inspired you to think differently on how you approach your role using Quickbase. Perhaps you saw them speak at an Empower event, or a Qrew Meet Up, or you have seen them share knowledge at Sam Trachy's office hours frequently. Legends come in many forms. Can I nominate multiple people? In the event you cannot decide between multiple options, you can submit more than one. But please try to stick to one nominee. What is the Qrew Legend award timeline? Nominations Open: Feb 6-Feb 21 Nominations Closed, Finalists Narrowed: Feb 24-28 Finalists Shared, Voting Open: March 3 - 21 Winner Announced: April 1st, Morning Keynote Who won Qrew Legend in 2024? In 2024, we named MarkShnier__You our inaugural Qrew Legend. For years, Mark has logged into our community forum and answered technical questions on how to use Quickbase. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone in our community who has not at some point found wisdom or an answer to Mark's responses. His solutions are quite literally bookmarked across the Internet. Mark has set an extremely high standard for this award. Please nominate those who have had an outsized impact on our community. What does the Qrew Legend receive? The Qrew Legend program launched in 2024 and is still evolving. As the first and only Qrew Legend, Mark Shnier has exclusive access to Quickbase leadership and decisionmakers, presented on Fit and Finish at the EmpowerPro keynote, and helped shapes our Product Roadmap priorities in 2025. My hope is to continue collaborating with Mark and our 2025 Qrew Legend winner in similar ways, adapting the program to include opportunities most exciting to new Legends. Nominations are closed! Thanks for your participation! Have any questions, comments, or concerns? Email bsimon@quickbase.com. .

The winner will be announced on April 1st during our morning keynote at Empower! I asked for our finalists to tell us a bit about themselves, here's what they shared. Brian Hinshaw, AT&T I've been a Quickbase builder and admin at AT&T for 5 years Favorite Way to Connect with The Qrew: Qrew Discussions and the Pipelines and Realm Admin Qrew. Something Learned from The Qrew: The value of collaboration and different perspectives coming together to create something stronger than we would achieve alone. Sharon Faust, aka the Quick Base Junkie I've been using Quickbase since late 2011. Over the past 13+ years, I've watched it evolve with more powerful features to solve complex business problems. As it has grown, it has challenged me to grow with it, learning, adapting, and finding new ways to push its capabilities further. My favorite way to engage with The Qrew is by sharing my knowledge through the Quick Base Junkie website, YouTube videos, cheat sheets, and working 1:1 with consulting & mentoring clients. Helping others unlock "aha" moments and build solutions with confidence is what I ❤️ most. Something The Qrew has taught me is that it isn't always the topic that you expect to learn that gives you the biggest takeaway. Sometimes it can be as simple as seeing how someone else navigates the system or discovering a time-saving tool that makes the biggest impact. Jim Harrison, Harder Mechanical I have been using Quickbase since 2017 My favorite way to engage with others in the Qrew is attending the monthly PDX Qrew meetups. Getting together with other Quickbase Users who are self-starters and eager to learn is inspiring. We talk about our lives with Quickbase in an inviting open environment. The Qrew has taught me many things and also given me the opportunity to share my Quickbase experience. Most recently Lee Gilmore showed me how to move Pipelines between User accounts and Elena Larabee pointed out including conditional statements in Formula Queries is an excellent way to reduce the load on a table. Andy Krumrai, Rockwell Automation I was introduced to Low-Code development and Quickbase 7 years ago in 2018. My favorite way to engage with The Qrew is at Empower, can't wait to see everyone in New Orleans! I also enjoy Qrew Meet Up discussions with other customers. The Qrew has taught me that citizen development really does work. All four of these people are legendary, but which one will be named Qrew Legend at Empower '25? That's up to you, get your votes in today! Spring Forward with Qrew Events in March What's up Qrew? See below for links to Meet Ups, Webinars, and of course, Empower '25. If you're still on the fence about attending Empower, allow me to nudge you in the direction of the side of the fence that is in New Orleans on March 31st. Register here for Empower 2025, it's the best decision you will make all year... Also happening in March...
