Still no way to hide 'New App' button?
Is there still no way to hide the New App button? It's the first button everyone tries to click, so I receive about 10 requests a week to try to create new apps. Has anyone come up with a way to remove this button?? ------------------------------ Michael Tamoush ------------------------------
Succeed in Your Trial
Succeed in your Trial Congratulations! You have decided to embark on your first trial experience with QuickBase. This post has been written with your success in mind, hoping to guide you to a successful completion of you trial and sign up as a customer. Trials are intended to give you the ability to put your tests to the software you hope to purchase, to see if what is advertised is truly as described, and to see if the general feel of using the software meets your expectations. In order to succeed at this, I've put together some 'best practices' to implement during your trial to help ensure you enjoy success! Set Aside Time to Work in the Product In order to learn about QuickBase, the platform, and how to build applications successfully, you will need to make sure you set aside time. This is usually the most important consideration when evaluating our platform. Identifying what your purchase timeline is, and lining it up with your teams' timeline to properly make your purchase decision takes some effort, as well as some honest reflection. You will want to be realistic about how much time this process will take, and it's one you won't want to rush. Write Down All of Your Questions You will not be able to know all of the questions that will arise during your trial up front, before you begin, but you should make an effort to identify all of your stakeholders' questions, as well as what they would like to see or learn during the trial. Once you begin to think of your desired solution, new questions may emerge that you never previously thought of. Identify Your Stakeholders Make sure to gain input from all of your key stakeholders. That is, each of the end users of the solution will need to give feedback, ask questions, and state what it is they are seeking in a new solution. Meeting with your team before you begin your trial will help get everyone 'on the same page' and steer your team towards success. Don't Just Wing It, Have a Plan The most successful QuickBase customers are those that know what it is they want to build on the platform, and as they set about on this journey, they continually reflect back to this plan to make sure they are aligned with it. By attempting to build in product with specificity and purpose lends itself to a more successful outcome. Ask Questions This may seem to be obvious, but the more questions you ask, the more detailed your vision of a solution becomes, and this will help you feel more prepared for the change that is coming. We find that the best evaluations are those which include open conversations between customer and QuickBase staff. We always try to ask "what else?" when engaging potential customers, in the hopes of uncovering other items on their wish list that we may be able to help with and provide a solution for. Software evaluations are meant to be a positive experience for all involved, and when you look to use your time effectively by following guidelines such as these, you will ensure a more positive outcome for you and your team. ------------------------------ Sean Padian ------------------------------
Embedding Quickbase into public webpage
Hi, Is there any way to embed a Quckbase report into a publicly accessible webpage? I'm using an app with open public permissions and no app tokens being used, but get a failure to display in the iframe window. Is there a trick to getting this to work, or is this not possible to do? Thanks! ------------------------------ Dana Hauser ------------------------------
Branding Examples
I am looking to brand my realm login screen and was wondering if anyone here had done this and if they could share an example photo or snip of what their log-in page looks like. Looking to see what other users/companies have done from a branding standpoint. ------------------------------ Joshua Case ------------------------------Viewing files across realms
Has anyone tried to create a report link to view files across realms? I can't get it to work, but perhaps that makes sense. I am syncing a table across a realm, and I have multiple child tables with files on the source side. Anyone know how I can get a file link across realms....? ------------------------------ Mike Tamoush ------------------------------
How do you personally do release cycles on your QuickBase realm?
I know QuickBase gives us the ability to make changes on the fly and not have to deal with the normal software release cycle. I'm just wondering how others treat this. I'm curious about the benefits or disadvantages you have seen with different release cycles. Do you do a weekly/monthly release where all of the changes are added at once via a sandbox? Do you make copies of the app and figure out what needs to be done for a change and then replicate it in production on the same day? Do you just work straight in production without worrying about a sandbox or app copy? Maybe even something else? I'm sure there are other options and if you do it differently I'm interested in hearing why.Ways to Log When a Record is Viewed
I've never had this use case before and was curious if anyone had any thoughts on this. I have a client who's workflows are highly regulated and they are interested in a way that we can log the Users and Date/Times that a record is opened and viewed by them. So each time a record is opened, they want to know who was looking and when they looked. Any thoughts on this? I'm familiar with setting up native Logging and have looked into the Advanced Logging tool from MCF Tech. Just curious if anyone had anything to offer. Thanks so much! ------------------------------ Todd Molino ------------------------------
