Mobile button save and add
I have an add record form for a barcoding application. I have one receipt to many objects. Users would enter a receipt then add object records to take a picture of each object and assign a barcode. The button works great in desk top but the record id from the parent doesn't go to the child in the mobile app. any ideas here? code for the button: var text STYLE = "background: green;" & //button color "color: white;" & //text color "text-align: center;" & //text alignment "text-decoration: none;" & //none, underline, line-through "font: 18px Calibri, sans-serif;" & //text size, font, & style "border: 3px solid #505050;" & //border width, style, & color "border-radius: 5px;" & //roundness of button corners "width:100px;"& //button width "padding: 5px 50px;"; //space between text & button var text RID = If(IsNull([Record ID#]),"%%rid%%",ToText([Record ID#])); var text URL = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_OBJECT_PICS]& "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm" & "&_fid_9='"& $RID & "'&z=" & Rurl(); ------------------------------ Dan McLaughlin ------------------------------
QR Code to access record in QB App
I'd like to create a QR code that pulls up a record in the QB app on a tablet when scanned with the tablet's camera app. This QR code would be a field in my Packing List table. When the packing list is printed out by our office staff, the QR code will be printed as well. Our warehouse team would like to scan the QR code and be taken straight to the record of the packing list in the QB app on their tablet instead of looking for the record in the app. I've had some success generating QR codes but having trouble directing to a record. Here's my code for the QR code. "<img src=\"http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=120x120&chl="&[QR Code URL]&"\"alt=\"\"/>" where [QR Code URL] is 'https://cfkent.quickbase.com/db/bpc9xkysz?a=dr&rid=[Record ID#] ------------------------------ Howard Fu ------------------------------Scroll Down Automatically on Mobile Form
Hello Quickbase Community. Is there a way to get a Quickbase mobile form scroll automatically to a specific place after having reloaded the page? We have a very long form, which will be used from Android phones, the form contains questions which will be answered with two different buttons each, as the user answers the questions they will have to keep scrolling down and answering. I need a way to make Quickbase scroll down to wherever the user was before pressing one of the buttons, so that he doesn't have to manually scroll after each answer. I tried using fragment identifier, by adding for example "#tdf_362" at the end of the redirect URL (see 2nd screenshot), which worked nicely for the desktop view, but didn't work for the mobile view. The buttons update a checkbox field in the background and then reload the page on edit mode, here's the code of one of those buttons. URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord" & "&rid=" & [Record ID#] & "&apptoken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" & "&_fid_206=1"& "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & [Record ID#]) Here's a screenshot of the form in mobile view: Here's second screenshot which shows error when trying to use the fragment identifier: Just in case this is useful, the error I'm getting in console says: qb.mobile.js:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'is' of undefined at Object.isPageLoaded (qb.mobile.js:1) at qb.mobile.js:1 at Object.execCb (require.js:29) at $.check (require.js:18) at $.<anonymous> (require.js:23) at require.js:8 at require.js:23 at z (require.js:7) at $.emit (require.js:23) at $.check (require.js:19) Thank You for taking the time for reading this post, any thoughts and ideas are appreciated! ------------------------------ Alberto Tablada BlueWell Group ------------------------------In mobile mode, is it possible to create a Save and Next button instead of just save, when editing a record?
I have a mobile form that users will use for daily auditing, they have up to 120 "Audit Records" that need to be edited in a single audit. I have a button on a report that takes them to the first record in the table to be audited, but at the bottom it says only "SAVE". I need a "SAVE & NEXT" to take them to the next record in the audit. These audits require quick succession (a minute or two between "Saves") and is too cumbersome for the users to save the record then have to scroll through up to 58 different records to find the next audit in succession. Anyone have any ideas? ------------------------------ William Wallace Fleet Operations Specialist Motional ------------------------------Hiding native save and close buttons on mobile
I have an EOTI to collect some data and while the web version works exactly like we want, the mobile version shows the native save and close buttons, as well as an ad for the QuickBase mobile app. How can I hide these? It's very important as the native save button breaks the workflow we are building and I need the user to use my custom save button as it redirects to a 'thank you' page. Anyone figured this out yet? ------------------------------ Jeff Peterson ------------------------------
Exporting QR Codes in bulk for label making and inventory
Hello All, I use quickbase to keep track of industrial equipment as well as inspect and keep records of said equipment. Each piece of equipment has QR code linked to it directly in quickbase. I am trying to export both the data and the images so II can print them out with a Brady labeler. My issue right now is the only file format offered is CSV which does support images. I am curious if anyone else has run into this issue and has a solution. ------------------------------ Phil Heron ------------------------------
Name and rename pictures and attachments in attachment fields
Is there a way to name a picture attachment as you upload it into a record from the Quickbase mobile app? Also, is there a way to rename an attachment that is already in the record? Quickbase automatically gives it a file name when taking a picture using phone camera with a string of numbers which isn't meaningful. ------------------------------ Brian Hunot ------------------------------
2 Very Large Mobile Issues, anyone agree?
I know Quickbase reads these comments and takes them seriously, so I am hoping other people will agree with me on these 2 enormous mobile bugs, and perhaps it will become an important enough issue for them to address. If others have run into these 2 problems, please let me know, and let QB know! Mobile: 1. Search does not work. Searching is such a basic function, this seems like a huge bug. You can search a report, but if you have an embedded report (a report link on a form), the search function does not work. 2. Hide green + buttons (hide Add Button/Links). On desktop, there is a very good feature to hide the add button links so that users cannot create orphan records. On mobile, this is in the form of those Green Plus Boxes. They are supposed to be hidden when you click hide add/button links. This is a recognized bug for I believe 7 years, with still no fix. This can cause orphaned records. Additionally, if your button has any extra features, they are not used. This also seems like a huge oversight, especially when discovered going on a decade ago. ------------------------------ Mike Tamoush ------------------------------Hiding Green Save button on mobile
Is it possible to hide the save button on mobile? There is an old thread with some iol type advice. Anyone know if this still is a viable option? The reason is - since there is no way on mobile to direct to another URL (ie NextURL), I need to create a custom save button that redirects. I am trying to force my user to use my custom save button. My specific use case is I have a button that takes people to a specific form on a record, in edit mode. When they save, it just automatically lands on the default form in view. ------------------------------ Mike Tamoush ------------------------------
