How to export listing of all reports from QuickBase

Here is an example. Using Chrome, navigate to the QuickBase Support Center which contains lots of tables and queries:

QuickBase Support Center

Then press F12 and paste in the following code into the JavaScript Console:

Pastie Database

The script will run for a few seconds and inject a text area into the upper left hand corner of the web page (see screenshot) from which you can copy out a text report of all the tables and their queries.

This is the fastest way to do it (took me ten minutes - I am in training!) and the method could easily be generalized to solicit the application dbid through a form (rather than hard code it as I have) and produce a beautiful web page listing the results (including additional information about each query). The essential issues is that you use the API method API_GetSchema to get all the tables dbids in an application and they query each table to extract the query information and spit out the results.

Here is the output from my quick and dirty code:

Good lord. How about just being able to print a list of reports? We used to be able to do that, but I don't see how in the new UI.

You would have to direct that comment to QuickBase as we are just fellow users here. You may be astonished by the perceived complexity of my solution but these methods of using script *always* yield a solution to any well formed question.

still useful 2 years later.  thanks!!

We have vastly better techniques developed since that post was made two years ago. I can't believe I wrote $.ajaxSetup({async: false}); in that code! Anyway the console.save method demonstrated in the post below is a vastly better way to extract the information from QuickBase rather than splice a random <textarea> into the page. See:

To save a list of all reports to Excel (I had no issues, but you can test first using backup copy of your App)--
1. In QB, go to Settings>App Management>Manage Reports, place cursor at beginning of list (not the column headings) and hold your mouse down to select all rows and columns on the page. 
2. It will highlight the selections (mine shows up as Blue color). I am using Windows 10, Chrome. 
3. In Excel, Paste Special (as Text). It will place data into rows and columns. 
4. Go back to QB and go to the next page of reports and repeat process. 
5.When I paste into Excel, the first row's columns do not line up with remaining columns so I insert a cell  to shift to right. After I line up columns, I type column headings into my Excel file.
Note: In Excel, your Last Used column will show blanks for reports where Used Count=0, and some Dates will not Format to Date when you Format Cells in Excel - Reason is QB has entered a period "." to abbreviate Feb to Feb. so Find/Replace the "." to delete the "." and your date will format in Excel.
