Companies worldwide use QuickBase to create cloud-based business process applications, without doing any coding.
Those businesses often require access privileges to company data at different levels of authorization. Using ViziApps Studio, enterprises and small businesses can design QuickBase apps that enable end users to access data at the appropriate level of authorization. These QuickBase apps can run on iPad, iPhone, and Android tablets and smartphones.
For example, a Sales VP may have a higher level of authorization than regional sales people have. While the Sales VP may access sales results in all regions, an individual sales person might have access to sales results only in his/her region. When an end user logs into their QuickBase ViziApps app, their login credentials will automatically determine which data to select depending on their level of authorization.
Here’s how it works. When a user registers QuickBase as a data source for their ViziApps app, they will see a dialog box like the figure below. They just add the field names in the app that will be used for end users to login and access the QuickBase data. Then, when the app runs, the app users just login and the data query designed in ViziApps uses the authorization from their login.
QuickBase Access Registration
Also, the ViziApps Studio now enables users to specify a limit to the number of responses for any data query, since large data sets may have much more data than is needed by a mobile user.
Companies worldwide use QuickBase to create cloud-based business process applications, without doing any coding.
Now, using ViziApps Studio, enterprise and small business users can easily build mobile apps using QuickBase data to run on the iPad, iPhone, and Android tablets and smartphones, without coding. Taking advantage of the ViziApps drag and drop process for creating apps, QuickBase users can quickly and cost effectively build mobile apps that provide access to robust cloud-based data.
ViziApps® provides the features described below for creating QuickBase mobile apps.
Click & choose database fields and drag & drop device fields
Test database commands in the Studio
Preview app running with QuickBase access
With these new capabilities, QuickBase users can build data-rich apps for iOS and Android devices. Adding QuickBase database operations takes just minutes.
The no-coding ViziApps process enables business and IT professionals to build mobile business apps for use by employees, partners, and customers. As a result, businesses can have the mobile apps their users need to access and leverage data virtually anywhere and anytime.
ViziApps provides app creators with a major advantage – the ability to quickly produce data-rich mobile business apps without coding.
And now, with a new online reference guide available in the ViziApps Studio, app makers have a handy reference to help them build apps using Google Docs spreadsheets for access to a wide range of data, including text, images, and maps. The searchable documentation speeds development of robust data-rich apps for the iPhone and iPad and Android smartphones and tablets.
ViziApps users tell us that delivering their business data into the hands of mobile users is driving new revenue and attracting new customers for their business. Providing mobile access to business data is what sets their apps apart from their competitors. So, make the most of your business data in your next mobile app. Check out the new data management documentation in ViziApps Studio to learn how to present and manage data in a way that gives your app users the information they need – wherever they are.
Simply click the “Spreadsheet User Guide” button in the Manage Data section for info and tips on:
This is just a sampling of the topics provided to help app creators select, create, and efficiently manage data for use in their mobile business apps. Check it out by clicking the “Spreadsheet User Guide” on the Manage Data page in your free ViziApps Studio account.
Easier Testing of Data Management Designs
Recent enhancements to the ViziApps mobile app creation platform allow testing of any spreadsheet query directly from the ViziApps Studio. In other words, it is no longer necessary to go out of ViziApps to your mobile device to test individual spreadsheet queries
Now mobile app creators can use this new graphical query tester early in the app design process to verify which queries are working and to identify issues that require attention. Every spreadsheet query in the ViziApps graphical query tree now has a green icon that represents this new testing tool for that particular query.
When a user clicks on it, a pop-up appears with that query for testing.
This new ViziApps capability speeds app development and eliminates the need for app creators to move in and out of the ViziApps Studio to test every query made to a database.
The tester works for all query types. For update, insert and where condition tests, the app creator enters test values in the empty device fields and clicks the “Test” button. That simple action submits the query and then displays the results in a second graphical response tree. Both single values and array values are displayed, as well as any query errors that may occur.

Summary: Charles Carroll Financial Partners justified its development investment with reduced travel costs and faster negotiation cycles.
Every time I open a mobile app on my iPhone or iPad, I ask myself which small business should (or should not) develop one of these apps themselves. So, I’ve devoted some of the recent weeks to speaking with companies that have made the investment in some of the do-it-yourself mobile application development kits that promise to rewrite the rules for small-business owners.In the case of Charles Carroll Financial Partners, a wealth management and financial planning firm with offices in Boston and Washington, the benefit ties directly to its ability to engage more effectively with current and potential clients, said Billy Hayes, principal with Charles Carroll.
The company is using its mobile app, developed with a platform from ViziApps, to transform five or six pounds of paper into an electronic format that is easier to carry and share. The application was built specifically with the intention of allowing the firm to share informational and account documents with clients or prospects, which helps cut travel costs for Charles Carroll even while allowing it to get updates and follow-up documents out more quickly. The company chose the iPad as a focus because it was easier to scan information on a tablet than an iPhone.
“I don’t know the technical details,” Hayes said. “All I know is everyone sees it, and that makes me happy.”

Just about anyone can build and publish a mobile app these days without even a modest amount of coding knowledge.
You don’t even necessarily have to hire someone, thanks to a growing crowd of do-it-yourself platforms. Some of them appeal directly to small and midsize businesses (SMBs) with limited–or non-existent– development resources. But here’s what those platforms don’t usually mention in their marketing materials: No one is waiting with bated breath for your company’s app. There are thousands upon thousands of them–”there’s an app for that,” as the Apple ad campaign goes–and that can cause app fatigue.
“Just like you can experience [overload] with email, the same phenomenon can happen with apps,” said George Adams, CEO of ViziApps, in an interview. So what can you do to ensure your target audience will not just download your SMB’s app but actually use it? Adams offered five approaches to improve your odds.
