My QuickBase Page gets another update… thanks to your feedback!

By Ellie Ellerman | Posted on January 14th, 2009

On December 6th we released an update to the QuickBase product. One of the most visible changes was the “Reports” tab on your My QuickBase page that lets you add a number of reports from any of your applications for easy viewing. The intent was to make the My QuickBase page a much more valuable piece of real estate for our users. This is a beta feature and we tried to make it easy for users to give us feedback.

Well, we received a lot of really great feedback from you and Monday night we released another update to the page.

Key things to look for:

We updated the layout of the MyQuickBase page to give more room to both the Applications and the Reports tabs.
You can now configure how many records to display per report.
If you want to see just the summary table for a report, now you can.
We fixed various formatting issues you may or may not have run into.
You can now see the Reports tab in Safari and Chrome browsers.

We continue to work on this feature so please keep sending us feedback through the in-product Beta Feedback link or here on the blog. It is very, very helpful for focusing our efforts.

Thank you all for your great ideas about this product and for your passionate support.

Ellie Ellerman, Senior Product Manager, on behalf of everyone who worked on these features.

It is a new joke in our enterprise, “for this project, we need a Quickbase database – yes yet another Quickbase” but truthfully, it is not funny. We have found so many ways to quickly be more effective with this tool, they are hard to count! We have replaced actual 3rd party products [from PO Requisitions, Employee Expense submission to Performance Review applications] We are literally saving money due to other reduced support Maintenance fees due to Quickbase.

Our Guru administrator is now getting the hang of how to share applications to allow us to keep a employee organizational structure to use for a lot of other needs in other shared QB Applications.

This tool has some limitations but not many compared to how easy it is to develop with and the flexibility it allows.

I am not sure what we did without it. We do have a list of ideas for improvement but despite them, we do like this tool and many are becoming very good developers.

THANKS for asking!
