Ever feel like you’re spending too much time clicking through multiple screens or juggling too many tabs at once? Wish your workday could run a little smoother?
Inefficient workflows can lead to wasted time and decreased productivity, and we understand how that can feel overwhelming. Interfaces should be simple to navigate, not frustration drivers.
We heard you. Quickbase’s latest interface is designed to streamline your workflow and tackle exactly those issues. With the latest UX/UI updates, we’re taking ease and efficiency to a whole new level.
Our recent session, Work Just Got Easier: A Deep Dive into Our New UX/UI, showcased the latest enhancements to the Quickbase platform that are designed to streamline your workflow.
These updates aren’t just about improving how our platform looks. From streamlined navigation to customizable emails and more powerful dashboards, we’ve made it easier for you to get more done in less time. It’s all about making Quickbase work for you, not the other way around.
Let’s take a look at what’s new. Spoiler alert: you might find yourself wondering how you ever managed without them!
Sidebar Navigation: Get More Done, Faster
We’ve made getting around Quickbase simpler than ever.
The new sidebar navigation is now the default for everyone. The navigation panel moved from the top to the left, giving you more space to focus on what matters. And if you need even more room, you can easily collapse the sidebar with a click.
So, what’s great about this update?
- Maximized workspace: You’ve got more space to get things done.
- Quick navigation: Everything you need (tables, settings, you name it) is right at your fingertips.
- Easy to use: The simple, intuitive design makes it easier to move around without a second thought.
Ever wished about doing more with Quickbase? The sidebar navigation isn’t just a design change; it’s a productivity boost. With everything now within easier reach, you’ll save so much time and more of your actual work done!
Dashboard Enhancements: More Data, Less Hassle
We know that dashboards can get cramped with all the data you need to track. Not anymore!
With our new scrollable dashboards, you can add more insights without worrying about running out of space. Plus, moving widgets around is now easier than ever—just drag and drop.
We’ve also added tools to help you build cleaner, more modern dashboards.
Here’s why you’ll love them:
- More Room for Insights: You can now add as much data as you need without being limited by space.
- Easier Reordering: Drag and drop widgets wherever you want, making it simple to adjust your dashboard to fit your needs.
- Cleaner Look: The new tools help you stay on top of your data more easily.
Now you can fit everything you need in one view. That means clearer insights and faster decision-making, helping you avoid the back-and-forth that eats up your time.
Custom Navigation: Focus on What Matters for You
One of the coolest features we’re working on is custom navigation.
Imagine creating a navigation menu that only shows what’s important for your team. It’s like decluttering your work desk—get rid of what you don’t need and focus on what matters.
What does this mean for you?
- Personalized Workflow: Create a navigation menu that hides irrelevant elements and only shows the most important items for your team.
- Less Clutter, More Focus: By simplifying the navigation, your team can concentrate on what matters most, without distractions.
This feature is still in testing, but once it’s available, you’ll be able to streamline your navigation process and hide any irrelevant elements.
Emails Simplified: All in One Place
Managing emails in Quickbase just got easier. Our updated custom email service now allows you to manage both triggered and scheduled emails all in one place.
Need to send a report or form? No problem. You can even attach files directly to your notifications.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Consolidated Email Management: You can now handle both triggered and scheduled emails in one place, saving you time and effort.
- File Attachments: Sending forms, reports, or data? Now you can attach files directly to your notifications, keeping everything in one streamlined process.
This email simplification means less time spent on administrative tasks, giving you more time to focus on your core work.
Document Creation: Create Docs, Skip the Extra Steps
We know how frustrating it can be to switch between Quickbase and other tools just to create documents.
With our new document creation feature, you can now build professional documents—like invoices, contracts, and quotes—right within Quickbase.
The best part? You can auto-fill templates with Quickbase data and import Word templates for easy customization.
Why is this a game-changer?
- Seamless Document Creation: Build templates for invoices, contracts, or quotes using Quickbase data.
- Auto-Populate with Data: Pull data from Quickbase directly into your documents, speeding up your workflow and reducing errors.
- Use Existing Templates: You can import Word templates, making the transition to Quickbase document creation even easier.
This update is currently in beta, and once it’s fully rolled out, it’ll save you loads of time. This process will eliminate the back-and-forth between tools, allowing you to produce essential documents more efficiently.
Secure Links: Share Data Safely
Want to share data but stay in control?
With Secure Links, you can now generate unique URLs that provide access to specific records on your terms. You can give or revoke access based on certain conditions, making it easier to manage your data securely.
Here’s why this feature stands out:
- Conditional Access: Share specific records using a unique URL while maintaining control over who can access it.
- Improved Security: This feature blends flexibility and security, ensuring sensitive data reaches only the right people.
For your businesses, this means smooth, secure collaboration without the usual headaches. You’ll enhance your data management processes, allowing for safer sharing and greater peace of mind while collaborating with colleagues and partners.
