Users can select the fields needed and set their order and can add text and design elements to match company branding. Users can connect apps with other popular cloud services or build personal data or app integrations to connect disparate systems to sync and access data from one central place. Mobile browser-friendly HTML5 apps are automatically created for all active Quick Base apps. Quick Base offers a transparency and accountability that also meet IT requirements.
