Using HTML and javascript to display information
Hello,
I was selected to design a quickbase for my team. The only thing it is required to do is track certain data points on contacts the team receives. Anything beyond that is at my discretion, but it seems like the more it can do the more likely the team is to actually use it. One of the things I want to implement is to provide subject matter experts and helpful information for resolving an issue that would depend on what type of problem is reported.
My first test on accomplishing this resulted in a coding page that uses a js function to display text based on an HTML dropdown selection and then links to the coding page on the homepages for the different roles. However, I can already see that trying to hardcode the text the way I have it now will not be user friendly when any changes need to be made. It also seems like it is going to be difficult to impossible to get the text returned from the function to properly display on multiple lines when that is needed.
I'm still hunting around for other solutions but wanted to ask the community for any suggestions. Right now, we have the information in an excel spreadsheet so I am going to try out uploading it as a new table in the quickbase and see if I can pull or display from that somehow.
Thank you
