To work with a QuickBase database, use the QuickBase connection wizard to define connection parameters first.

Figure 32.9. QuickBase Connection Dialog

Give a name to the connection (Connection name) and select the proper URL. By default, your QuickBase database allows only SSL access via API.

The URL should have the following format, note the trailing slash: https://mydomain.quickbase.com/db/

The Username can be an email "email.address@company.com". The required Password relates to the user account.

Application token is a string of characters that can be created and assigned to the database. Tokens make it all but impossible for an unauthorized person to connect to your database. See https://help.quickbase.com/user-assistance/app_tokens.html#createtoken to find out how to obtain an application token.
