Ask Me Anything about the new Quick Base visual builder

Jon will be here from 2-3 p.m. EST to answer any questions you have about the visual builder, other ways weÕre making Quick Base easier to learn, or anything else youÕd like to know.
Submit your question in this topic any time between now and then. Jon will be in this thread live to tackle them on Thursday!

Why do I keep getting Error message when using the visual builder when changing the data type? This is happening when creating a new table and field from the default of text to another value. I get an error/ Warning asking if I want to make the change.
Really great job on the visual builder, it kinda makes building apps in QB fun ;) What frameworks/libraries are used on the frontend of this builder.
The visual builder looks like a very cool way to build out apps! I've seen the short video that outlines what the changes are, but what are some of the other features you planning on rolling out with any future phases? Either way, I look forward to getting back into QB at my company and begin to utilize this new way app building way soon!
Visual builder looks great!
Are there any plans to do something similar for the forms? A visual forms builder would be great as well.

Forrest took the words right out of my mouth. Drag and drop form builder, please!
Oh, wait, it needs to be a question: May we please have a drag and drop form builder?

I was so excited to ask the same thing I scrolled right to the bottom and missed that you already had :D
+5Will there be better functionality when creating an app on a tablet?
You are unable to collapse all table windows so you can see all your tables to arrange on the screen for better viewing. One stays expanded. Otherwise, it seems to work like a charm!

Drag and drop form builder is what we are all waiting for including the option to put our fields where ever we want without limitation on the grids.
But you guys did a great job with the app builder so I am sure will do so shortly on the form builder...
+1I just used the visual app builder for the first time and loved it!.... anything else exciting coming soon?
Good morning, Jon. This looks like a terrific improvement. Will it be retroactively available on previous applications/clients?
What's on your road map for the visual builder, both in the near future and long term? Is your plan clear or are you mostly relying on feedback to figure out what to do next?
Just gave it a shot - it's very helpful!
Is there a plan to implement adding summary and/or lookup fields?

Not on topic here, Percy, but: Go to Settings for the report under 'Mine'. Use the 'Save' dropdown to select 'save as'. This will give you the option to save a public version that will appear in the Common report category.
Lots of hard work! Nice job!
And you can search for "Visual" and add "Form" behind it, and you're done there too!
