Price of QuickBase Basic Plan: $249/month…building the perfect application…priceless!
As a Customer Advocate here at QuickBase I talk to new users every day who all share a common goal: Make QuickBase right for me! Teaching new users how to build and customize applications can be challenging because every user and business process is different. Here are a few tips that I would give to anyone looking to get started with QuickBase:
Learn how to manage your QuickBase account.
Now that you’ve signed up for QuickBase you need to have an understanding of how to manage the account and keep track of users, space, and billing information.
Familiarize yourself with the online resources.
We invest heavily in developing documentation, tutorials, webinars, and other resources to help you learn QuickBase. Check out the community forum and ask other nexperienced users for their advice or learn by watching with video tutorials.
Contact Support.
Don’t be afraid to submit a support case. There are actually real live people here at QuickBase assigned to help you.
Learn by example.
We have a wide range of applications that are ready to go right out of the box. If you’re not sure how to get started take a look at these applications. There’s no harm in making a copy for yourself and customizing it. This is a great way to learn…and if you mess up, no biggie just create a new one!
Contact a Solution Provider.
If you need QuickBase to sync up with other systems, have an extremely complex process, or just don’t have time to build a QuickBase application, consider working with one of our certified solution providers. This is a network of professional developers who can provide you with that one- on-one support that you need to ramp up quickly or even build the application for you if that’s what you’d prefer.
So now it’s your turn to share your tips with us. For those of you who would consider your application a success, what helped you get started? What challenges did you face? How did you learn? What else do you think the QuickBase team could do to make the “getting started” experience easier?
