Lookup field in end-user interface?

Hi All – I have a large base which essentially functions as a CRM. The first field in the base is “partner name” and the subsequent fields are information about the partner - location, bio, Linkedin profile, etc. We use the base to track engagement and other touchpoints with the partners. I want to build an end-user interface while allows my executive director to input the name of an individual from the base and then have it return a few specified fields. For example, the ED has an end-user interface and is instructed to input a partner name. After inputting the name, the interface returns Linkedin profile, bio, and last-emailed (all fields that we collect and keep up-to-date). I know it’s possible to just make my ED an editor and give access to the entire base but we have 50+ fields and I want an more user-friendly experience. Privacy is not the concern here, rather my ED doesn’t need to see all the fields and details in the base. Is this kind of build possible with an interfa

XLOOKUP and INDEX Match Equivalent in Airtable

I have two tables, Table 1 and Table 2, with different fields. When a specific record is populated in Table 2, I want the values of some of its fields to automatically appear in a corresponding record in Table 1where the cells were initially empty, based on the primary fields of both tables, I’m calculating a total in Table 1 based on entries into records in several tables and need to have the total in Table1 automatically updated whenever the values change in the other tables. What is the best way to achieve this? IOW, what is the equivalent of XLOOKUP or Index Match in Airtable?

How to create a changelog of major changes in Airtable

I'd like to have a changelog, ideally in Slack, that gets added to whenever a base, table, or field is created or deleted, and whenever a field name or type is changed. However, I couldn't find any functionality to allow this. Has anyone found a workaround for it? Thanks!

Copy Record Detail Layout

Hey everyoneMaybe I dreamed this, but I thought I could copy\transfer the layout of one existing Record Detail to another Record Detail.I know I can duplicate an existing Record Detail layout to a new Record Detail layout. That creates a new layout which I want to avoid since I would have to reference the new layout to replace a depreciated layout. And I have a lot of those that I need to clean up. Updating an existing Record Layout by using a different record layout is pretty useful.Is that possible? Was it ever possible? Thanks everyone!

How to deal with migrating development changes to production base?

Hi,I'm approaching launch for my first Airtable application, a support/ERP/CRM system for my wife's business (two users currently planned). Is there an agreed upon best practise how to launch a production version but yet be able to continue developing the application?I have little real experience in application management, although I have managed some LAMP applications with SQL updates and diffing PHP. I thought I would keep the current base as PROD, make a back-up of it and assign that a DEV role and continue developing new stuff there. But how to migrate changes from DEV to PROD?Rgds,Björn

Question about development vs production environments

I'm finally making great progress and haven't been frustrated enough to quit yet, so I think I'm going to be able to make this (along with fillout) to help support my makerspace.  I hope to eventually move from the free plan to Teams once I know I have all the major pieces in place.But once I do, and we're using it, I'm concerned that my future clugey attempts to add functionality might break operations.  Is there any concept of development, QA and production versions of a workspace?

Time Zones in Email Automation Grid

I'm building a base to track volunteer sign-ups for a project. Table 1 stores Volunteer info Table 2 contains available Timeslots When a new volunteer signs up via a form on the Volunteer table, an automated email is sent confirming the timeslots they’re registered for.The issue: When I include a grid of timeslots (using a Find Records step in the automation), all of the times are showing in UTC. I need them to display in EST.Here’s what I’ve tried: I created a formula field to convert the time to EST using SET_TIMEZONE, and also tried A single-line text field that gets updated by a separate automation But when I try to include either of those fields in the grid, the grid shows the correct number of records, but all the cells are blank.Has anyone figured out a way to include times in the correct time zone (EST) inside a grid in an Airtable automation email? Would appreciate any tips!

How to Migrate SharePoint Lists to Another Tenant?

Migrating SharePoint lists between tenants can be a challenging process, especially when dealing with large amounts of data or strict compliance standards. Whether it’s for mergers, acquisitions, or business restructuring, it’s important to have a clear and effective migration plan. While Microsoft’s SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) works for basic migrations, for more complex cases, using an automated tool like SharePoint Online Migrator is highly recommended to download. It offers features such as metadata retention, permission mapping, and incremental syncing, ensuring a smooth and secure transfer of your SharePoint lists with minimal downtime and data loss.

Exploring Fashion Inventory Management with Airtable – Any Tips?

Hey everyone! I’ve recently started using Airtable to streamline product and inventory tracking for my fashion brand Xeboi, and so far, it's been super helpful in organizing listings, managing categories, and tracking seasonal sales. One area I’d love some insight on is automating stock alerts for high-demand items.For instance, our Women's Biker Jackets collection gets seasonal highs and lows, and I wish to make sure that I am refreshing sizes and colors in real time. Has anyone here utilized Airtable for automating stock level notifications or integrating with eCommerce stores effectively?Also, if fashion and outerwear are your thing, go ahead and look through our collection of Women's Motorcycle Jackets, plus some really great Leather Jackets for Men and a handpicked selection of the Best Leather Jackets around. Any ideas or feedback on how to reorganize product data would be great too!
