What are notifications used for in Quickbase?

Notifications in Quickbase serve a crucial role in keeping users informed about changes or updates to records. This functionality is particularly important in collaborative environments where multiple users may be interacting with the same data. By alerting users to updates, notifications ensure that everyone involved is aware of the most current information, which can affect decision-making and workflow.

When changes occur in records—whether it be updates, deletions, or new entries—notifications can be set to inform specific users or groups through various channels, such as email or in-app alerts. This proactive communication helps maintain data integrity and enhances team coordination, as users can quickly respond to changes that impact their work.

The other options address different needs but are not the primary purpose of notifications in Quickbase. While reminders about events and monitoring user logins can be important, they fall outside the primary functionality of notifications. Similarly, sharing files does not align with the core purpose of record changes alerts, which is to keep users informed about the state of the data rather than managing file sharing.
