Automatically Update Date Field
I use QB to keep track of thousands of articles that I schedule for the e-newsletters my company sends out. Each article is a project. I am constantly updating these projects, like from "Assigned" to "Accepted" or from "Bob" is editing to "Mary" is editing. I have an "Updated" column but I have to change it myself. What I would like is an "update" column that changed the date automatically every time I make a change. That is, no matter which field I change for a project (the title, the author, the assignment date) the update column automatically updates. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks in advance to any help.Solved0likes3CommentsRefresh Code Page
Good day everyone! I'm trying to set up a way to automate a page refresh. Previously we were using an HTML code page with <script> setTimeout(function(){ parent.location.reload(1); }, 60000); </script> This worked for a little bit, but stopped working some months ago. I added the code as a web page url as instructed in previous Qcrew discussions. However now it just states "We can't find what you were looking for. Either it has been deleted, or the link that brought you here is wrong." Has anyone found a work around for this? I'm trying to use it as a workflow solution that auto updates our main page that's a Kaban Report to display on a bigger screen for the work force.0likes0CommentsNeed 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 Jill0likes2CommentsCustom Role Permissions Question
Hello, I was wondering is there a way in QuickBase to customize a role's permissions based on a specific user. For example, I have a role titled "Provider User". There are many users who are assigned to this role, but there is only one user (i.e., John Doe) who has this role but needs access to create new reports and such. Is it possible to customize a role settings based on specific users? Please let me know. Thanks in advance!Solved0likes4CommentsReport to prompt for one date but be used for multiple date fields
I need to prompt the user for a beginning date and ending date range but I need those dates to be for more than one field. So the report would be something like this. The Beginning and Ending Date would be user prompts. Date received is on or after Beginning Date and Date received is on or before Ending Date or Date Submitted is on or after Beginning Date and Date Submitted is on or before Ending Date. How can I create the custom prompt for Beginning Date and Ending Date, so the user is not prompted to put in dates for both fields. Thanks0likes5CommentsSharepoint 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 that0likes1CommentGantt 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! Jose1like2Comments"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!0likes4Commentscustom 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?0likes2Comments
