QuickBase launches new features just in time for Christmas
We launched a new version of QuickBase over the weekend (6am EST on Saturday to be exact.) The release delivers a range of new features that even Santa would be proud of. Included is QuickBase access for the iPhone and a cross-application reports tab on your My QuickBase page.
And there’s more… you will find new tools for improving control, manageability and security in your applications.

I love the cross application reporting. That will be a great tool. I am excited to see mobile device support, although we are all BlackBerry users here.

Yea seems unfortunate to target to businesses who are predominantly BlackBerry users compared to iPhone support which just gets headlines.

The API also added a huge time-saver – the ability to run a predefined Import from one table to another using an API call.

I like most of the new features, and thank you for those, but I have a concern over this new App Token feature. This seems like a barrier for potential customers who may be trialing add-on software for QuickBase, such as my SendToQuickBase that integrates Outlook with QuickBase. My software allows a user to select any app (and table) they wish to save Outlook data into. Now with App Tokens, they must also be sure to add my Token to their app before this will even work, one more hurdle they must leap. I appreciate the security issues, but I wish there was another technique besides App Tokens.

Hey, everyone. Thanks for your feedback.
Will and Jeff – Mobile support is certainly an area we are interested in continuing to evolve and improve over time.
Gareth – good point about the API Import. We’re using this within the team to good effect as well.
Joe – We understand about the hassle of app tokens, but we hope it’s a one time pain, that will lead to better security for all customers.
Thanks again for all your feedback, and please keep giving us your feedback, as we are listening!

Is there a way to move the left column on the My Quickbase home page back to the right? I often have several open windows on my screen and this not good use of the real estate on my screen.

For *YEARS* we have been begging you to allow transitive data lookups. This would save time in lookups, reduce the size of applications, make applications more secure and make it easier to program. The iphone hasn’t even existed for that long and you place A # 1 priority on making the database available on that?
Quickbase is probably the only relational database on the planet that doesn’t allow for this common, obvious and ESSENTIAL usability and they refuse to incorporate it in favor of making QB available on the latest fad?
This latest round of updates is pretty weak and ignores the basics. Will the spring update actually start addressing and improving the core functionality?

Now with this update, will Quickbase been adding a chat/IM feature like used with Facebook? This would be extermly helpful in my line of business and I am sure with others.
