# Create a FastField form from a Quickbase table

Create FastField forms based on your Quickbase table schema. When someone submits a response to a form created this way, responses are automatically saved in Quickbase.

## How to create a FastField form from a Quickbase table

There are two ways to create a FastField form based on a Quickbase table:

- [From Quickbase](/v1/docs/create-a-fastfield-form-from-a-quickbase-table#from-quickbase) (through single sign-on linking)
- [From FastField](/v1/docs/create-a-fastfield-form-from-a-quickbase-table#from-fastfield) (through user token linking)

### From Quickbase

Create a FastField form directly from your table in Quickbase. This requires you to first [link your FastField and Quickbase accounts for single sign-on (SSO)](/v1/docs/link-your-quickbase-and-fastfield-accounts) from the Permissions page of the Quickbase Admin Console. Then:

1. In Quickbase, go to the table you want to use.
2. Open the table settings, and then select **Forms**.
3. Select **New FastField form**. This opens FastField in a new tab.
4. Enter a name for your form, and then select the fields you want to include.
5. Select **Save and Edit**. This saves your changes and creates the form. You can now make changes to the form layout and settings. After you're done, people can start submitting responses.

### From FastField

If your accounts are not linked for SSO, you can still create a FastField form based on a Quickbase table from the FastField Portal. This requires [linking your accounts with a user token](/v1/docs/set-up-a-quickbase-integration-in-fastfield). To do this:

1. In the FastField Portal, select **+ New Form** > **Import from Quickbase**.
2. Select an existing Quickbase integration or create a new one.
3. Choose a table, and then select **Next**. This selects the table to base the FastField form on.
4. Map the fields to include in the form. To include a child table as a subform, select the table name and map the fields.
5. Save your changes. This opens the Form Builder, where you can continue editing your form.

## Parent and child tables

When the table you select for the integration is a parent table, you can also connect child tables. They are automatically available when you're mapping fields. When you create a FastField form based on a Quickbase table, child tables are imported as subforms.

## Limitations

### Submission failure notifications

If a FastField form submission fails to upload a new or updated record to a Quickbase table, no alert is sent to notify anyone of this failure. An *Upsert Failure* log displays in the Submissions activity log within FastField, however.

We are planning to add notifications for upsert failures in the future.

### Field mappings

Currently, the following fields cannot be mapped with complete accuracy between Quickbase and FastField.

- **Multi-choice fields** that pull choices from another field or table are mapped as Text fields with no choices to select.
- **Lookup fields** cannot be mapped.
- **User fields** cannot be mapped.
- **Attachment fields** in Quickbase cannot be mapped to a Document Viewer field in FastField.
- **Rating fields** are not mapped to Quickbase when the *N/A* option is selected.
