Creating change logs with Pipelines will provide instant visibility to changes and give you the ability to report on trends. We'll walk through how to leverage a new Pipelines capability — calling Previous Values in a step — to show which fields changed and when, old and new values, and who made the change. And we'll cover how to construct logs to only show which fields changed or highlight the changed fields using Formula Rich Text fields.

Pagination is a common practice used in both UIs and APIs. Its purpose is to ensure data is sent or returned in consumable chunks. For example, if you had a need to move hundreds of thousands of records from one system to another, it is not a good practice to attempt to do it all in one call. Instead, you would break it up into chunks to support optimal performance. In this session we will cover API pagination using the Quickbase API, Callable Pipelines and Jinja templating.

Pre-req: Understanding of roles and permissions, a good grasp on relationships (including summary and lookup fields), and experience writing formulas. Admin permissions required to build-along with the exercises.
App Permissions
Best Practices
Tips & Tricks
Some applications require a more complex set of permissions than what is offered natively in Quickbase. Roles that need access to overlapping data sets can be difficult to maintain and granting access to each individual user is unsustainable. The cascading permissions technique applies custom access to data within an app, then dynamically updates access using flags and a formula! In this interactive session, we'll demonstrate how and why this works, go over how to set up these permissions, then walk you through implementing the technique on your own. This is hands-on workshop. In order to build-along, please open a Quickbase Builder Account and download "Empower 2021: Cascading Permissions" from the Quickbase Exchange.
