Cascading Dropdowns for QuickBase

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Have you ever wanted to have two dropdowns, where the options in the 2nd dropdown depended on what you chose in the first? For example, if you were renting a car and you chose “Ford” for the manufacturer, you would then want only Fords to show up in the model dropdown.

 
Up to now, you have not been able to do this in QuickBase — but your wait is over. We at Data Collaborative have figured out a way to force the 2nd dropdown to only give you options according to your selection in the first. All that is required is a single click. To see this in action, go to https://www.quickbase.com/db/bdpk93rkm?a=GenNewRecord.
 
Select a Manufacturer, click on the “set model” link, and watch the 2nd dropdown setup before your eyes.
 
If you would like us to set this up in your application, give us a shout - info@datacollaborative.com
