Nancy Connner, «Quickbase: The Missing Manual»
O’Reilly | ISBN 0596529600 | October 1, 2006 | CHM | 9.9Mb

Overview

QuickBase is a Web-based, workgroup-friendly, data-sharing program that puts you in control of your work. Like a crackerjack assistant, it lets you quickly and easily manage and share the information that makes your business tick: sales figures, project timelines, drafts of documents, purchase or work requests–whatever you need to keep business flowing smoothly. No more coordinating your team through a blizzard of emails or playing frustrating games of “guess which document is the right one.”

Still, QuickBase is a database at heart, and most mortals need some guidance to get it humming perfectly. If you’re the type who thinks designing a database solution for your business needs sounds about as fun and easy as a do-it-yourself root canal, prepare to have your mind changed. QuickBase: The Missing Manual will show you where to dive in (the water’s fine!) and how to get started. Before you know it, you’ll want to use QuickBase for everything from managing sales leads to organizing your grandmother’s recipe collection.

If, on the other hand, you’ve been managing information and designing databases ever since you first got bored with coloring books and nursery rhymes-if you dream in rows and columns-QuickBase: The Missing Manual will elevate you to QuickBase guru, helping you use the site to its full potential.
