Create a button that gets the UserID for the user in a user field and then write that information to a field in the same record
Hello Quick Base Community. I am wanting to get the UserID for a user with the click of a button. Using the API_GetUserInfo, I can pull the UserID, copy it and then paste it somewhere, but what I would like to do is click a button that will get the UserID and then write it to a field in the record that I am on. Really the question is, is it possible to call an api and then perform an action using data that is returned from the initial api call? I assume that this wouldn't be a problem using scripting but I would like to know if it is possible natively within Quick Base. Thanks!
Total Field or Column Header Colorization in a Summary Report
Hello, I have a summary report shown below, 1 of 9 that I'm building. Each of these summary reports takes a particular set of Statuses and totals them. Each total OR column headers will need to be colorized (red, yellow or green) and placed on our Homepage Dash. These status totals are not related to any dates or timelines. They are used for showing the total $ amount of insurance policies that were entered for the previous month, current month and next month by status. For example, the report above shows policies from the previous month. It would be amazing if I could make the Status and Annual TP column header red, given these totals represent policies that were Declined, Surrendered, Withdrawn etc. My next report would then be colorized yellow for policies that have a different set of statuses, then green column headers for policies for example that have been paid. Hope this makes sense! I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks for any help!
Technical Documentation
What is the best way to generate technical documentation for my Quickbase app so that a future administrator will understand how it works? For context, I am self-taught in QB and not a programmer so I have no experience in this area. ------------------------------ Terri Bruce ------------------------------Formula Builder Cursor Position Incorrect
When editing a formula in the new formula builder, for example in a rich text field, where you position the cursor and where the edit takes places is not correct. For example I can position my cursor after a field name such as [fieldname] and start typing, but the text I type appears about 4 - 5 characters to the right in the middle of another part of my formula. Is anyone else having this problem? It's the same in both Safari and Chrome
Countdown days until a specified date
So I have two fields: the first is a projected 'delivery date' and the second is a 'how many days until delivery" (essentially, its a countdown). On the Days-Until-Delivery field I have the following formula: ToDays([Projected Launch Date] - Today()) And it works great. Problem is, after it reaches the due-date, it starts to show a negative value. I would like it to simply 'zero' out once the due-date is achieved (I already have it set-up to show any records that are past the due-date to be highlighted in red). Any suggestions on how to code this out? Thanks in advance for your help.
