What's New in QuickBase?
This section describes the changes that appear in QuickBase for the October release.
Streamlined password reset flow
We’ve made the requirement to answer a security question during password reset optional. This behavior is controlled via a new account property: Require Security Question. Realms also have a new password policy setting to require a security question and answer for all accounts in the realm. As of the October 2015 release, this property is turned off for all accounts and realms, and account admins have been notified of the change.
If you would like to continue requiring your users to answer a security question during password reset, turn the property on by selecting the checkbox and saving the change. Note that only billing account administrators may edit QuickBase account properties.
Dynamic goals for gauge charts
You can now choose a field
or calculated column to be the goal on a gauge chart. Just choose a Goal
type of Data value to display a dropdown of possible goal
choices. Values for the field are summed or averaged to arrive at a value for
the goal.
Export users from an app
Now you can export all user data from an app by clicking the Export All Users button on the Manage Users page. QuickBase saves the list of users in the app to a CSV file.
Edit which roles may view reports
When customizing a common (shared) report, you can now change which roles are allowed to view the report. Previously those settings were only available while you were creating a report.
Increased goal limit for gauge charts
The upper limit for the goal on gauge charts is now 9,999,999,999. (QBE010248)
What’s Fixed in QuickBase?
We’re continuing to focus on quality and have fixed a number of bugs in this release. All QuickBase releases include bug fixes from previous releases.
