Gantt plugin: tasks with fractional start and end values
Hi all I'm using the Gantt plugin to manage task with short durations (hours). The Gantt plugin allows me to move e resize tasks so the start and end are given as dates and times. But the start and date fields on the Tasks table are Date fields, not DateTime fields. I need to get more detailed info from my tasks, but I don't know were the fractional start ad date info is stored. Lets suppose, for example, a task starting at a given date and time, and ending at a given date and time. If I move the task by a few hours, in a way that it stays on the same dates, and go to the currespondent record on the Tasks table, I see that the "Date modified" field does not change, meaning the record was not updated. If I move (or resize) the task so the start or end date change, the "Date modified" field gets updated. So, in summary, the question is: on which table is the fractional info (time) for tasks start and end is stored on my app? Thanks! Jose
"Can not update built-in fields values."
I am leaving Notion for QB. I created an exact copy of my Notion database (it was pretty simple) in QB and exported the Notion data into CSV. I started the import and in the preview screen it looked perfect. But every time I hit "import" I get "Can not update built-in fields values." I can't find any simple solutions to this, just very complex instructions about API, which is a little beyond my skills! Does anyone know of a simple workaround? Thank you!
custom email to non-users, on a schedule
I need to create a single-table custom email that runs on a schedule (any time during the month 4 months after a date in the record). Each email needs to go to a non-user whose email address is a field in the record, and the text of the email needs to contain some other fields from the record. I'm planning to do this in two steps: 1. Create a custom email (open, triggered on a record modification) 2. Create a pipeline to run once a month and do the record modification for the appropriate records - once the record is modified, the email will be sent. It seems like this will work but I'm wondering if the pipeline updates would be considered "bulk" updates. Since the recipients are non-users, the email must be specified as "open" - but I know there are issues with "open" emails with "bulk" updates - recipients could receive information that doesn't relate to them. If this could happen, what is another way to approach the requirement?
Sharepoint Channel - how do I update field/column in Sharepoint?
I have a pipeline that successfully uploads a file to Sharepoint (i.e., create a new list item in Sharepoint). I also want to place data into a field/column of that same Sharepoint record, but am failing to make this happen. I've tried a couple different approaches without any success. Any tips on making this happen will be appreciated. I can provide more detailed screenshots if necessary but here are some to start. Thanks in advance.....Aaron Method 1: Method 2: When the error says at least 1 field must be set, and to specify the field to be updated, I can't see where to do that
Need to display hours and minutes within a TAT formula
I am using the formula below for a duration TAT. I have checked off the HH:MM:SS for the type and it is still displaying 0:00:00 for things that are one hour from rec'd to acknowledged time entered Days(WeekdaySub(ToDate([Acknowledgment Date/Time]),ToDate([Communication Received Date/Time]))) Do you have any suggestions on how to get the TAT to display accurately? Thank you JillPermissions - How can I keep my permissions as-is but allow for a specific field to be visible?
Hello, Full context: We have a staff table that all employees have access to, but only to view their own information. We also have a PTO table with a calendar report that the team has access to, but because the permissions for the Staff table is set to "when user is 'User'" they are unable to see any of the related names for the PTO records (PTO table is a child table of Staff table). Is there a way, or formula, to keep the same level of privacy on the Staff table whilst allowing the team to see just the related staff name for the PTO Records? Thanks!
Possibility of sending reports to Microsoft's teams app
Hi Community, In Quickbase, we can set up subscriptions to send reports via email on a regular schedule. Is there a similar way to automatically send reports to Microsoft Teams on a schedule using Pipelines? I know it’s possible to send notifications to a Teams chat, but I’m specifically looking for a way to send reports regularly.User list fields in Pipeline
Good afternoon, I've created a pipeline that searches Table A for criteria and if it matches it will copy a User List field from Table B to another User List field in Table A. Both User Lists fields could have multiple Users selected when the pipeline runs. My first attempt wiped out any information already listed in Table A's field with the information copied from Table B, but it listed all Users that were selected. When trying to figure out how to keep the information in Table A's field while adding the information from Table B, I then found the community thread which is similar to what I'm trying to do: https://community.quickbase.com/discussions/getting-started/using-multi-select-field-in-pipelines/18991 However, when I enter {{table B User List field}} ; {{table A User List Field}} Table A's information remains, but the new information copied are placeholders rather than the User name. So it looks like When I've attempted to use the ID or Email from the User List (as found recommended in other threads) It keeps Table A's information but only lists the first User from Table B. Any other User is not copied over. Any suggestions on how to get the placeholders to actual show the User Names?Including two classes in one button
I'm working with a rich text button. The button is on a parent record. The user clicks the button, the parent is saved, and then a popup opens to add a child record. When I add the savebeforenavigating class, the button stops opening the window in a popup and instead opens in a new tab. Is it possible to include both classes in the same formula? var number rid = [Record ID#];var text url = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_CHILDREN] & "?a=nwr" & "&_fid_10=" & URLEncode($rid) & "&ifv=1" & "&hs=1"; var text color = "#228B22"; var text txtcolor = "White"; "<a class='SaveBeforeNavigating' & \"OpenAsPopup\" data-height=\"800\" data-width=\"1000\" data-refresh=\"true\" " & "style=\"text-decoration: none; text-align: center; background:" & $color & "; color: " & $txtcolor & "; border-radius: 5px; margin: 2px; padding: 5px 5px; width: 100px; display: inline-block; font: 14px/ 'Calibri', 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; text-shadow: none;\"href='" & $url & "'>Add Child</a>"
