The Brazilian District in 2009 launched the Amazon Project, to perform volunteer humanitarian work in the Amazon region. The District signed a partnership agreement with “Saúde e Alegria” (“Health and Happiness”), a non-governmental organization (NGO). Through this agreement, a team of dental professionals and other volunteers, was to periodically furnish oral care to underprivileged people living along Tapajos River, a major Amazon tributary. Each Project “expedition” is to last six days and involves the use of a large riverboat, called Abaré – endowed with specially adapted dental chairs, clinics, laboratories, staff accommodations, and a wide array of purchased and donated dental supplies – built by “Saúde e Alegria” and the Dutch NGO “Terre des Hommes”. The first expedition program, July 23-29, 2009, was conducted by a team of 18 dentists, 1 dental student and 5 teenage assistants. In addition to dental care, the program provided a broad range of training programs for the local dentists and dental technicians, as well as oral hygiene educational programs for the general public. A second team had approximately 50 people, including medical doctor, dental hygienists and assistants, nurses, maintenance and cleaning staff, ship crew, agents and team of circus entertainment.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
