Frequently Asked Questions
How is AnyDB different from Quickbase?
Quickbase is a broad low-code platform for building custom applications, integrations, dashboards, and workflows. AnyDB is focused on connected operational systems. It organizes work around complete business objects such as customers, orders, inventory items, projects, assets, and vendors, with files, workflows, portals, documents, and history built into the same product.
Can AnyDB replace an existing Quickbase application?
Yes. You can begin by rebuilding one Quickbase application or workflow, importing the related records, and expanding from there. The AnyDB team can help map tables, relationships, forms, reports, permissions, and automation into an object-based system.
Can I import data from Quickbase?
Yes. Quickbase records can be exported and imported into AnyDB. We can also help restructure tables and relationships into objects, child records, linked records, workspaces, and operational views.
Does AnyDB support tables, forms, views, reports, and dashboards?
Yes. AnyDB includes table and list views, cards, calendars, forms, charts, reports, pages, and dashboards. These capabilities operate on the same connected operational records.
Does AnyDB support relationships and child records?
Yes. AnyDB supports linked records and parent-child structures. An order can contain line items, a project can contain tasks, a product can contain components, and an asset can contain inspections and maintenance history.
Does AnyDB include workflow automation?
Yes. AnyDB includes assignments, reminders, approvals, status changes, notifications, action buttons, workflows, and automation. Advanced scripting is available when a process requires custom logic.
Can external users access AnyDB?
Yes. AnyDB includes secure portals for customers, vendors, partners, contractors, and other external users. You control which records, files, fields, forms, and actions each user can access.
Can AnyDB generate documents from records?
Yes. AnyDB can generate PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, reports, invoices, purchase orders, certificates, and other business documents directly from live record data.
Does AnyDB support private cloud and self-hosted deployment?
Yes. AnyDB is available as a hosted cloud service and can also support private cloud and self-hosted deployment for organizations with specific infrastructure or data-control requirements.
Can AnyDB help design and migrate our system?
Yes. Share your current Quickbase application, spreadsheet, or workflow, and the AnyDB team can help design the records, relationships, permissions, portals, workflows, and reports for the first working system.
