Auto-populating data for a record in a form
I am needing to know the best way for information to auto-populate for a record. Example: I am selecting driver name and all of his information is tied under the driver table but I want the demographics of the driver to auto-populate once the driver name has been selected. Is this possible and how do I go about doing it? ------------------------------ Kenisha Terry ------------------------------
Conditional Logic in Exact Forms
I am using Exact Forms and am wondering how to hide or collapse fields on the exact form if there isnt a value in there. I am having the fields show up on my QB form but if they are blank I dont want that transferrring over to my exact form. I have dynamic rules in my QB form but that doesnt help my Exact form right now. Something similar to this: Case([Quantity],<1, Hide [Cost], > 1, Show [Total Freight $] )Exact Forms - Extra Spaces with Rich Text fields
I have a multi line rich text field in an exact form. In the past I used html to manage the spacing which worked fine. When Quickbase changed the formatting on this field I can no longer use html in the field successfully (I can put html in the source). My issue is for every hard return it adds an extra space at the bottom of the text. I used to be able to use </br> and write all the text on one line to eliminate this problem
Barcode Printing
I am setting up Barcodes for some inventory tracking in our company, and am wondering if we need to buy a barcode printer that is compatible with a certain software? Is it as simple as using a Bluetooth connection to print the barcodes from a QuickBase table? Does anyone have suggestions on what has worked for them in the past? ------------------------------ Darian Vigil ------------------------------
Assign multiple child records simultaneously
Hello, I'm looking to add several child records to a parent in one go if possible. The parent is the Projects table. At the moment I have child tables for Diseases and Geographies which are added in the usual way. This is a bit of a hassle as there are usually 10+ geographies per project. I want to expand on this by adding more tags so we can fin relevant projects in the future. These tags will likely reside on one table and if necessary I can move the geographies and diseases to this table. My question is, is there a simple way to select and add several of these tags to the parent record, much like you see on numerous websites, including the field right below where I am typing now(!)? I am aware there is a wizard which sets up a button but I've only got the Essentials package which doesn't allow this. I'm not averse to upgrading if this is the right solution but wanted to throw it out there first. Thanks in advanceIs it possible to copy a record from one table to another?
Table A has records that I need to copy into Table B. I don't need all of the fields from Table A to be copied to Table B - only certain ones. Table B has different field lables than Table A. Is it possible to create a button that will create a new record in Table B using the data from the record in Table A? If so, is this something I can do myself within QB or would I need a programmer/3rd party to do it for me? Thanks!!

But it appears that the line in our code ("&file_link=" & "https://fss.quickbase.com/up/bhv9szup6/g/rb3tz/eus/va/WorkOrder_" & [Work Order #] & "_" & [Record ID#] & ".pdf") fails to save the correct path to the dynamically created work order. Our guess is that the value "rb3tz" in that line should be a variable, as it seems to change in the different dynamically created work orders. But we do not have any idea how that value "rb3tz" is created. Is there any way we can calculate that value ourselves? Or is that even a 'good' solution to our problem of saving the url? We tried using the "Work Order Document" field that Exact Forms Plus fill in the Site Visits table (which we read via the QuickBase Do_Query API), but the API seems to only return the file name, not the entire path to the file. We assume this is because it is not a URL field, but a File Attachment field. This is strange, since when we hover a mouse over the value in the Site Visits table, it does show the entire url at the bottom of the screen (see screenshot below). To reiterate, when we look at our QuickBase Site Visits table, we see that theExact Forms Plus aspx code IS in fact storing the file, and saves what appears to be a link to it in the "Work Order Document" field which I have circled in the screenshot below. Hovering a mouse over the "Work Order Document" field reveals the url link to the file at the bottom of the page, which I have also circled. But we have been unable to retrieve this entire url through the Do_Query API, getting instead only the file name. We notice that the path in the url seems to have a different value for each different document created where we see "rb33r" in the screenshot below (which I have underlined in red). Other than this value, we believe the path is always the same for other dynamically created work orders. Can you offer us any advice on how to save the path to the work order dynamically created by the call to Exact Forms Plus? Whether by dynamically creating our own path to the file or by somehow reading the path underlying the "Work Order Document" field? Thank you. ------------------------------ Earl Adkins ------------------------------
