New

Audit log API endpoints

Quickbase is committed to driving more visibility into data while enabling admins to effectively govern actions taking place on the platform. To support this, we are expanding the power of audit logs through a new Audit Log API. Realm admins on Enterprise-level plans will be able to use the Audit Log API to query a full day’s worth of audit events from any day in the past (not including the current day). With this capability, realm admins can push data to Quickbase apps to analyze behavior, as well as to external systems for further auditing needs. Get more details about how to use this API on June 12, 2022 in our RESTful API guide.

Enhancements

Platform Analytics enhancements

You will now see a User Agent column in your CSV exports and drilldown views of User reads and Integration reads. This helps you to see more details about where the read originated.

You can now export, and view User reads and Integration data to CSV up to 12 months prior to the current date. Previously, customers could only export CSV data within their current contract period.

You will see an Action column in your CSV exports and drilldown views of User reads and Integration reads. This enables you to more easily understand what types of activities are contributing to the read counts.

Enhancements on the My Pipelines page

We are introducing two new things to My Pipelines page:

• Faster performance and load time – We are adding pagination to the page that will make it even quicker and more efficient than the last improvement we introduced
• Tags will be visible on the Pipelines table – Tags assigned to pipelines are now more visible, so you can use them to more effectively manage and cluster your pipelines. If you click on a tag, it will also automatically filter the table by tag.
  

  

Use Microsoft Azure keys for advanced encryption

In an effort to provide realm administrators with additional options in data control, we are introducing a new option to manage encryption keys. Realm administrators will be able to encrypt their master keys using Microsoft Azure Key Vault. This additional encryption provides an extra layer of protection. To Learn more about these options, visit our Encryption help article.

Beta opportunities

Retirements

End of Support – Quickbase Automations

On June 30, 2022, the Quickbase Automations feature will enter the second-to-last phase of its retirement journey, the “End of Support” phase. After June 30, users will no longer be able to create automations, Product will not consider future enhancements to this feature, and Tech Support will wind down supporting cases related to this feature.

All customers have access to Quickbase Pipelines and can create automated processes with the Quickbase channel and nearly 50 other tech systems. The Quickbase channel is free for all customers to use. To facilitate easy transitions of your automated workflows, we recommend using the “Migration Tool”, which allows you to convert your Quickbase Automation to a Quickbase Pipeline with the click of a button.

You can still run and edit existing automations until January 31, 2023. For more information on the automations retirement timeline, read our January community post. If you haven’t created a pipeline before, start with our University course or online help on Pipelines.

What’s fixed in Quickbase

We continue to focus on quality. Below are the issues we fixed this month.

Note: Platform security, billing changes, back-end tooling, and performance are all ongoing commitments. Each release may include changes in these areas.
