Auto-populating data for a record in a form
I am needing to know the best way for information to auto-populate for a record. Example: I am selecting driver name and all of his information is tied under the driver table but I want the demographics of the driver to auto-populate once the driver name has been selected. Is this possible and how do I go about doing it? ------------------------------ Kenisha Terry ------------------------------
Barcode Printing
I am setting up Barcodes for some inventory tracking in our company, and am wondering if we need to buy a barcode printer that is compatible with a certain software? Is it as simple as using a Bluetooth connection to print the barcodes from a QuickBase table? Does anyone have suggestions on what has worked for them in the past? ------------------------------ Darian Vigil ------------------------------Exact Forms - Extra Spaces with Rich Text fields
I have a multi line rich text field in an exact form. In the past I used html to manage the spacing which worked fine. When Quickbase changed the formatting on this field I can no longer use html in the field successfully (I can put html in the source). My issue is for every hard return it adds an extra space at the bottom of the text. I used to be able to use </br> and write all the text on one line to eliminate this problem
Using a barcode scanner to associate multiple existing child records to a parent record.
I am trying to integrate barcode scanning into the app I am developing in order to track and manage the manufacturing process at my companies manufacturing plant. The plan is for each part to be assigned it's own unique QR code (essentially representing the unique record ID of each part in quickbase) and to scan that QR code at each stage of the production process to ensure that every part is tracked as it moves through the plant. Eventually all of the parts are put onto a pallet before being shipped out. I am currently looking for a way to streamline the palletization process. In my app I have a Pallet table that is the parent table to the Parts child table. The way I imagine the process working is that each pallet will have a QR code which, when scanned, would allow a user to scan the QR codes for all of the parts that are going on that pallet and then clicking a save button that would relate the scanned parts to that pallet. I'm imagining this could be done using the Quickbase API using something similar to the "add child record" button that is automatically created in the parent table when creating a relationship, but instead the "button" would be a scan and instead of creating a new record it would update the "related pallet" (the parent record) field of the exiting part records for all parts scanned prior to clicking the save button. ------------------------------ Ben Krieger ------------------------------
Assign multiple child records simultaneously
Hello, I'm looking to add several child records to a parent in one go if possible. The parent is the Projects table. At the moment I have child tables for Diseases and Geographies which are added in the usual way. This is a bit of a hassle as there are usually 10+ geographies per project. I want to expand on this by adding more tags so we can fin relevant projects in the future. These tags will likely reside on one table and if necessary I can move the geographies and diseases to this table. My question is, is there a simple way to select and add several of these tags to the parent record, much like you see on numerous websites, including the field right below where I am typing now(!)? I am aware there is a wizard which sets up a button but I've only got the Essentials package which doesn't allow this. I'm not averse to upgrading if this is the right solution but wanted to throw it out there first. Thanks in advance
