Report link fields appear in the parent table and display as links. When you choose a report link, you see the related records from the child table. Report links help you get more information between tables quickly. For example, if you were to choose an project’s tasks link, you’d see a list of all the tasks for that project. Unique features of report links:
- They appear as links on reports / dashboards
- When a report link is on a form, you have the option to display it as an embedded report

Field relationship
You can match the values in a field from this table to a field in a different table. For example, if you want to match company names, enter the name of the field in the target table that contains company names.
To create a field relationship:
-
Under Match the values in this field from this table, select the field that you want in this table.
-
Click Select Target, select an application that you want, then select the field in the target table that contains the data that you want to match.
Value matching
Select Only include values if they match exactly in both fields to require that the word or phrase (for example, the company name) in the source application table matches the word or phrase in the target application table.
For example, if you are matching company names and select this option if the company name in the source application table is "Bayshore Oil Co." and the company name in the target application table is "Bayshore Oil," then no match occurs. However, if you clear the Only include values if they match exactly in both fields checkbox, a match occurs because Quickbase ignores "Co." and "Corp.".
