Agilebase platform blog: recent updates

We were recently asked by a client & partner to set up a second account for a business they recommended us to and we thought we’d video the process, so we took an hour out of the office to have some uninterrupted time to make the application. Here’s the process compressed into five minutes: There…

In most CRM applications there’s normally some really useful functionality that allows you to record your ongoing interaction with clients.

Every agileBase field now has an icon beside it that links to this comments function. The latest entry in the…

We’ve got lots of plans for facilities to add to agileBase – things our clients have asked us for, things that Lean theories promote and just great ideas we’ve dreamed up. However, we never wanted agileBase to become a dumping ground for features in the way so much hard to use software is, rather it’s…
