List - user fields let you assign a single task to more than one user in an app, or choose several users to take on the role of project lead.
Users in a list - user field are sorted alphabetically by first name. You can search for users in the list by typing any portion of the first or last name. List-user field contents are determined by the set defined for the field. For more information, read about the default and custom user sets.
You can select up to 20 users in each list - user field. You can also select a user who is not currently in the default or custom set. If you choose to select another user, Quickbase displays the User Picker, allowing you to search for:
-
all Quickbase users
-
users in your company
-
other application users (optionally)
-
Quickbase groups to which you belong
