Looking for simplest example to access quickbase using python
Can someone point me to examples that show how a quickbase/db can be accessed from the command line/using python -? We would like to access, add, delete, change records and create reports - and in addition to the GUI provided, do such using CLI tools and python (saw pybase on github, am having some difficulty with it - unless someone can provide a complete example -?)
Custom Save and Close button
Hello everyone, This is probably a super simple solution but for the life of me I have not been able to get it to work. I am trying to create a custom button that simply saves the record on a form that has both the parent and the child records in edit mode. Example: A parent record form has an embedded grid of related child records. When the parent record is in edit mode, the grid of child records is editable, so that the user can add or modify the related child records. At this point, the parent record has already been saved, so the record ID of the parent already exists. All I want my button to do is to save any changes made to both/either the parent or the child records. I want this button to work exactly like Quickbase's native "save & close" button. Thanks in advance for your help! ------------------------------ Juan Solorio ------------------------------
Is it possible to create a ""Save and Keep Working"" button from a formula URL field?
I realize the "Save and Keep Working" button was introduced by Quickbase, but I am wanting to add it somewhere in the middle of my form. I've seen posts relating to this kind of thing, but all of theme were published prior to the introduction of the "Save and Keep Working Button" and I can't seem to get any of them to work. Any thoughts?
URL formula to edit a record and ""refresh the page
I regularly use little API URL formula buttons like this one. var text $CopyStatustoPreviousStatus = blah blah blah ......; $CopyStatustoPreviousStatus & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($ReDisplayReport) That works well when I have a button dedicated to either refreshing the record I am sitting on or refreshing a particular report. I also use this great technique a lot to not refresh the report (so the user does not lose their place in the report or does not lose their Dynamic filter selections. var text URL= blah blah blah ....; "javascript:" & "$.get('" & $URL & "',function(){" & "$.jGrowl('email Triggered to Prospect', {life: 5000});" & "});" & "void(0);" But I would love to know how to make a button which will do some blah blah blah stuff and then refresh the screen - that way I could have the same button be used on any report and any record. Ideally it would reload the screen and preserve the user's Dynamic filter selections if they were on a report. If there a way to modify the code above to incorprate this concept &"javascript:location.reload(true);" and not do the growl pop up. ie I'm looking for a button to be able to execute a URL formula which would say edit a record and then refresh whatever screen the user is on. In that situation with a refresh, typically the user's feedback that the button click "took" will be that the report refreshed or the record refreshed, so we don't need or want that jgrowl pop up.
Save button with a redirect
I haven't found a thread yet with a solution that is working with me so, I am trying to to make a button that saves and redirects. Currently I am trying <div class='Vibrant Success' onclick='RedirectURL.value=myurlhere;editform.rl.value="";DoSave();'>Save</div> I got my current setup from this thread https://community.quickbase.com/quickbase/topics/how-can-i-save-and-redirect-to-a-home-page This thread is the closest thing to what I am looking for. I would like to be able to save a form and then be redirected to a different table and its default report. Is there an easier solution?
Lookup and fill field values based on the content of another table
I have two tables: Table A holds records for daily delivery routes, two of its fields are the [Driver Name] and [Van ID]. Table B holds records of every stop completed on all daily routes, it also has the fields [Driver Name] and [Van ID]. The stop records in Table B are imported via an API call to a platform which records GPS tracking data for each van. The [Van ID] is obtained with the call, but the [Driver Name] cannot be. What I want to do is for every record in Table B, where the [Van ID] = "123", for example, I want to lookup in Table A which delivery route had [Van ID] = "123" and find the associated driver name, and show it in the Table B record(s). Has anyone had any experience with a problem like this? ThanksClose a pop up form after a button is clicked on the form
I have a button that sits on a report that is on a user page that creates pop up to a special form that also has a button that that acts on a checkbox and then refreshes the page. Here is my formula that sits on the pop up form: var text Update = URLRoot() &"db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord"& "&rid=" & [Record ID#] & "&_fid_1046=1"; var text RefreshPage = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=doredirect&z=" & Rurl(); If([Ready for Dispositions]=false,$Update & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($RefreshPage)) What do I need to add to my formula to close the pop up after the button is clicked? ------------------------------ George Bramhall ------------------------------javascript prompt with a dropdown menu

Suggestion to work around when ""Report too large. Maximum number of bytes in report exceeded"" error?
I want to queried all data from a table/report to save it into a local database. I've tried to export it into CSV format, however, got the problem as attached image. Please suggest ways to overcome it with: no filter applied one extracted data file only (like a svn dump file) I've read QB HTTP API and wonder if it can help to over come the "too large" issue?Buttons, Buttons, Buttons - (new code for all!)
Hello all, Sorry I haven't gotten around to putting out some nice code goodies, but today is a new day full of buttons for you. So here you go! This basic gray button saves your work and then sends you to a code page. - It is good for saving and then a thank you page or you can alter it to go to another form. Just plop it in a Rich Text Formula Field and you are ready to go. Pretty slick. "<a class='Vibrant Snowy SaveBeforeNavigating' href='https://mysite.quickbase.com/db/tableIDhere?a=dbpage&pageID=12&ifv=10'>Save & Logout</a>" This next little bit of code really can be used for any link or button, and is a life saver for those of us dealing with the EOTI role. This is a special encoding that QB can understand. I have it here encoding the Record ID#, but you can use it for any number. ENCODING: &r=" & QB32Encode( [Record ID#]) URLRoot() & "db/" & [_dbid_table] & "?a=dr&r=" & QB32Encode( [Record ID#]) Have you ever just wanted to click a button and save something as a csv? Yeah, me too. So I did. This one can take a bit of set up (or not) depending on if you want to download a filtered report or not. First I make a report (qid=59 in this case), then I make a bunch of "ask the user" filters (V0, V1, V2,...). This would be a filter where you would say, filter by Shirt Size and instead of putting 'equals Red' in the report, you would put 'equals <ask the user>'. Then you would put whatever you were wanting to filter for the report into the code below. This is great for dynamic reports. But back to the CSV. As you can see on the end, there is '&options=csv'. It really is that easy. Just plop this is a URL Formula Field and make yourself a button. https://myebsite.quickbase.com/db/tableID?a=API_GenResultsTable&qid=59&nv=3&v0=MyFirstFilter&v1=MyNextFilter&v2=MyOtherFilter&options=csv Looking for an alternative to using the Record ID# in your links / buttons. Yeah, who wants to use the Record ID# when your key field is your email? I sure don't, and I'm just lazy enough to make it work. The key is the 'Key' field. Below I have an example of a button that saves what the applicant is working on in one form and then navigates them to edit their parent record by looking up their email. In the parent table, the Key is Applicant Email, so it can use the Applicant Email Address from the child table (the application that they are working on) to find the parent profile record. Just throw this button into a Rich Text Field and you're done. "<a class='Vibrant Success SaveBeforeNavigating' href='https://mywebsite.quickbase.com/db/tableID?a=er&key="&URLEncode([Applicant Email Address*])&"&ifv=10'>Edit Applicant Profile</a>" And last of all, a nice list of the "Vibrant" button set: List(" ", "<a class='Vibrant'>Vibrant</a>", // regular grey button "<a class='Vibrant Alert'>Vibrant Alert</a>", // yellowish "<a class='Vibrant Danger'>Vibrant Danger</a>", // red "<a class='Vibrant Primary'>Vibrant Primary</a>", // blue "<a class='Vibrant Snowy'>Vibrant Snowy</a>", // white "<a class='Vibrant Success'>Vibrant Success</a>" // also blue, but they clain green ) Super Secret Bonus Code: Gradient Background (can be used in buttons and code pages!) background-image: linear-gradient(220deg, #1e6fb7 50%, #5086b5 80%); ------------------------------ QuickBase Girl ------------------------------
