To help Quickbase recognize your company's email domain (like @samplecompany.com), account admins register their domain name with Quickbase. Registering your company gives you these advantages:
-
Quickbase helps you locate users more easily
-
You can allow only those users in your company to create applications
This article gives more details on how to register your domain and the benefits of registering your domain.
Register your email domain with Quickbase
Check if your domain is already registered
To determine whether Quickbase recognizes your email domain:
-
Go to the Account Summary page.
-
Review the Company Info section at the bottom of the page. If your domain is listed under Email Domains, Quickbase recognizes that you own the email domain.
Register or change your company's email domain
The Quickbase Technical Support team manages email domain registration. This allows us to group billing accounts under the correct companies, and it also helps us to ensure that email addresses for major ISPs, such as @gmail.com and @yahoo.com, are not registered by mistake.
Submit a request to Quickbase Technical Support directly from the Account Summary page:
-
From the Account Summary page, in the Company Info section, click the link that displays after the Company field.
The link is either your company's name, or none, depending on whether you've entered a company name.
-
If this is the first time you've entered a company name, click Yes to proceed, enter an email domain in the next dialog, and click OK.
-
Click Edit Email Domains.
-
Click Set up my email domain to enter a support request to register or change your email domain.
The Quickbase Technical Support team will process your request and contact you if they need any more information.
Benefits of registering your domain
Locate users more easily
Registering your email domain makes it easier for you to locate Quickbase users in your company. When you add users from the User Management page, the Quickbase auto-suggest feature can help you by suggesting possible matches it finds within your company as you type a user's name. It will show people from your company who are Quickbase users, even if they are not registered in your realm yet.
If your company's email domain has been registered, you can use the Quickbase address book to browse all users in your company. Note that "auto-suggest" and company browsing work only if the email domain you used when you signed into Quickbase has been registered.
Allow users in your company to create applications
You and your colleagues can create and use applications. Account admins decide who can create apps in your billing account.
You can set up permissions so that only users from your company are able to create apps. The first step is registering your company's email domain with Quickbase. Once Quickbase knows about your email domain, you can set up create permissions for only those users whose email address matches your company's email domain. Read how.
