Unorthodox post - when your brain just won't "Quickbase"
Hey all! This is going to be a vulnerable post and I deliberated whether I'd post, but this has always been an incredibly supportive community. I am going through a challenging time in life having lost my mom a couple of months ago, and one of the most surprising ways this has affected me is -- my brain is just "off" for Quickbase. I'd been asked to head up a project cleaning up a former app developer's less-than-ideal-state work, which is something I very much would like to do; but I'm literally logging in daily and looking at my screen, with Quickbase being a small percentage of what I'm generally responsible for day-over-day, and I am just unable to get started. Has anyone experienced this? Any tips for snapping yourself back into shape? As a musician outside of work as well, I realize Quickbase is very much also a creative space, and when I think about whether you could just command yourself to write a song on demand, it feels like a similar mental lock-out where you don't have a lot of control over when your creative energy is going to come back. Would love any feedback and apologies for the sort of odd post. I've been sitting with this project for about 6 weeks now and it's going exactly no where. I either need to take a full pause from the project, or figure out how to get my head in this game.
Use AI to create a field based on another text field
Is it possible to use AI to create a field "Category" based on another text field "Description." The field description is of-course is verbose and all over the place. But technically LLM should be able to create a succinct 'Category' field for me by parsing the actual topic of discussion captured in the description field. Is this possible within Quickbase?Changing from steps to tabs based on roll
I have a form where a requester enters the information in a form using steps. After submission an approver will approve the request in the same form (pipelines are used to push the approval info to the approval table). I don't want the approvers to see the steps when they edit the form. Is there a way to changed the view from steps to tabs in edit mode based on role?
Document Template Spacing
Hello, I am looking for any advice/help on QuickBase's Document Template issues I have been experiencing. I have a word template that I have uploaded that is a single page, however it keeps spanning multiple pages when I uploaded. Has anyone been able to adjust the spacing in Document Templates? I can't find any way to do it, it seems to default to a double space and I want single spaces. Has anyone been able to find a way to keep their documents templates to just a single page easily? Thanks
Document template barcode field
I'm creating a document template and I want to add a barcode of a text field. I've added this to the source directly from a rich text formula field. The resulting document is displayed as What is the proper notation to get the field "UDI" into the <img src....? Thanks.
Replacement for "Copy Parent & Child Records" Button Creator?
In App Settings -> App Management, there's an option to create a button to add to forms to "Copy Parent & Child Records." However, the buttons created by this process are powered by Javascript, which I was under the impression was no longer really supported. Is there another option for recursively copying a parent record and any related child records (and child of child records)? Or can this button generator still be trusted despite the JS?
