The more people you have working together, the harder it is to track what's happening and who's doing what. So, how do you keep track of developments and keep everyone in the loop? You could hold a daily meeting, but that takes up everyone's time. You could spend the day stopping by each person's desk to see what's up. You could even have carrier pigeons transmitting status updates. Of course, there's an easier way. Let QuickBase handle all this communication for you.
Letting QuickBase tell you what's going on in your application is a fast, effective way to manage your workflow and keep on top of your process. For example, when your boss assigns you a task, QuickBase can email you and let you know. Got a deadline coming up? Let QuickBase remind you. Need a progress report for the weekly staff meeting? Have QuickBase email you a report of your staff's open issues every Monday morning.
QuickBase works all this magic through its automated email features.
QuickBase offers three types of automatic email:
Record change notifications
QuickBase notifications let you know immediately that someone's made
a change to a record in your application. When you set up a record
change notification, any time a user adds, modifies or deletes
an existing record, QuickBase automatically emails everyone on the
notification list with the information. To learn more, see About
Record Change Notifications.
Scheduled report Subscriptions
Sometimes you need to see the big picture. QuickBase can deliver
it right to your inbox when you set up a scheduled report subscription.
For example, a report subscription can automatically email the monthly
sales report to senior executives. Or, send yourself a report of your
open issues every day. To learn more, see About
Scheduled Report Subscriptions.
Reminders
Have QuickBase automatically send an email reminder
to a colleague two days before her task is due. To learn more, see
About Reminders.
