Note: This topic is for QuickBase Enterprise administrators only. If you have a QuickBase Team or QuickBase Extended Team account, you do not have access to this feature.
To update your QuickBase application, you should:
Create a sandbox application
Make changes to the sandbox application
Apply updates to your live application
To create a sandbox application:
Begin in the live application you want to update.
On any application page, select Customize > Application.
Click the Developer
tab.
Note: if you don't see the Developer
Sandbox tab, it could mean that you do not have permissions to create
applications within an Enterprise Edition account. Remember that the
developer sandbox feature is available only in Enterprise Edition
accounts.
At the top of the tab, click Create Sandbox.
Enter a name and description for the sandbox application.
Click Create
Sandbox Application.
QuickBase creates a sandbox application that is identical to your live
application. You can now work in the sandbox application to make and
test changes before updating your live application.
Note: All email notifications or
subscriptions that are active in the live application will also be
active in the sandbox application. However, no automated emails will
be sent from the sandbox application.
To apply updates to your live application:
Once you've made changes to the sandbox application, go back to the live application and follow these steps.
On any application page, select Customize > Developer Sandbox.
Click the Apply Changes tab.
Choose the appropriate sandbox application from the dropdown.
Click Check
for Compatibility.
If compatibility issues exist, QuickBase displays an error and provides
guidance on how to fix the error.
If no compatibility issues exist, QuickBase displays a message letting
you know you can apply the updates.
Click Apply Updates if you want to proceed. QuickBase applies the updates from the sandbox to the live application.
