What happened to PageDesigner?!?!?! I have been using the same extension for three years to print a two-page per record document. The page is set to be the size equivalent of two, portrait 8.5x11 pages. All of a sudden, yesterday, I opened up the Extension that holds my document and the entire second page was missing. The fields were there, but the white background was missing. I reset the page size to accommodate the length of a two page document. All appeared to be well, but when I went to print it, it only prints the second page of one record in the view. Any insights would be greatly appreciated
Ideally what I’d like is for the “page designer” block to have the ability to share its output automatically with different recipients who don’t have Airtable accounts themselves. I have a large base that is used to process reports that come in from forms. Each record is an individual report, which I can build into printable pdf using the page designer. But the only way to share these is to download each individual pdf and then send it by email. I would like to be able to automate this process, i.e. once a report is complete, the document generated by the page designer is automatically shared with a given recipient. Is this possible through Zapier, or any other platform? I’ve looked at a few google sheets add ons but I’m not sure they’re what I’m after. Thank you in advance for your advice! :slightly_smiling_face:
Hi all, We are a small real estate agency, using Airtable for our property database which is very nice. We face an issue and want to ask for solution, we need to create either 1) Listing or 2) Single property particular to our client from our property database, right now we only selected the properties we want to send to our clients and manually type it on Word, it is waste of time and easy to have typo. May I ask how to simply from from the selected properties in our database … e.g. selected 10 properties and then print the selected in a listing ? And also the option to print the selected to 10 individual single property particular? I found the built-in document creation app is not powerful to do that… any suggestion of app or service should we use ? Don’t mind to subscribe more service to do… Appreciate for the recommendation… Best, Tony
I followed this tutorial video to the letter (https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/115013405168-Page-designer-app-overview) yet Page Designer won’t print/PDF multiple records on a page. My records are short — about one-eighth of a page per record — and I have 25 records. It’s ridiculous that my PDF is 25 pages. Can someone please help me stop the madness???
Hello I am building my invoice template in Page Designer. I was able to build my source table so I can see various tasks to bill to each client. My only isse is that table only show records that fit in the box and in 1 page. How do I format the table element so it show every records I want to show even if it takes multiple pages?
I have a question regarding the page designer extension. How to make the data fields automatically adapt to the amount of data to display and for the extension to create as many pages as necessary? I am setting up a contract. This contract contains a “travellers” paragraph. Under each traveler, page designer displays the information concerning him (package chosen, date of departure, date of return, details of flights, details of accommodation, etc.). The number of travelers naturally varies from one contract to another. There are contracts with 1 single traveler and others with 40 travellers. On page designer the reserved field does not adapt to the amount of data. In addition, we only have the right to 1 single page!! How to solve this problem? Thanks
Hi, Crazy question, but can’t seem to get this. Does the page designer only allow one form? I’ve created a form in the page designer. How do I create a second form, third, or fourth? Any help will be greatly appreciated :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks, Pat
Hello everyone,I've been working with Page Designer to create invoices that sometimes span more than a single A4 page due to the length of item lists. In tools like Excel, I've been able to manually manage page breaks and ensure that content flows smoothly from one page to the next. I'm facing challenges achieving this in Airtable's Page Designer.The challenge:When I have a list of items in an invoice that's very long, I need the content to seamlessly flow over multiple A4 pages, maintaining the same design format. This is something I could do in Excel by manually adjusting the beginning balance on a new page, but I'm struggling to replicate that here.Has anyone encountered a similar issue? If so, how did you address it? Are there any workarounds or best practices that you've found effective?I appreciate any insights or solutions you might have!Thanks in advance!Sasi
Is there a way to customize airtable form based on the user. I have a dropdown box that is selected by the person, then it shows the applicable questions based on the drop down. Is there a way to autofill in the dropdown based on the user filling in the form. I need to keep all of the questions in one form for convenience. What would be the best way of doing this. The reason I need to do this is because each person is required to fill out a form each month, selecting a name then shows what forms a person has not completed yet. Thank you
What are some good software options for automating generation of word docs using data from a record in Airtable? I would like to be able to trigger the automation in an Airtable interface (as opposed to an extension on the data side).
Hi my name is Jerry. I am not at all new to Airtable but my experience is not particularly broad. I built our Airtable base 8 or 9 years ago and haven’t done any development work on it since. I am not a programmer.My problem:I am creating a package receiving solution for our freight forwarding business. We receive packages, log information regarding that package and place it in the racks for future handling. I am looking for a way to easily add a photo to the package record during the receiving process.The process: A new record is created by scanning a preprinted, barcoded label which is then applied to the package. The scan gun is then used to scan other information from the package such as shipper and tracking number. The customer name is selected from a linked field followed by entry dimensions, weight and comments. Then the box is opened and a general description of contents is scanned into a field from a prepared list on the wall. While we have the box opened we would lik
I am trying to use Airtable and Softr to create a page with fund applications for individuals so that I can track which year a fund was applied for and what its status is (ongoing, granted or rejected). It is important that each fund is presented on individual lines through Softr. If you look at the picture, that is how I want it and managed to do it with Google Sheets and Softer. But I am having problems with Airtable. Does anyone have an idea how I can do it?
Hi all, Is it possible to prevent the creation of record under certain condition during form submission?Like upon button click, there will be a check against the database for certain condition and throw back error message.
I have an object that I output from another script using the Output.Set(key: value) method. The value that I’m passing is an array of json objects. It seems that there are a lot of objects to transform the object but I would prefer to just pass the object to my script to iterate over the object and use dot notation to get the values that I would like. I don’t see anything that just lets me keep the object as is and pass it through input.config only transforms or operations like length? Is there no way to pass an array or object??
Hi, I’m trying to build an event management board. Some of my events are recurring, but the current date data type does not allow multiple ones. Do you have a best practice for it? One way I’m thinking about making a separate date table, and link the event with the dates. But the calendar view looks odd for this date table, as it use dates as the primary id and does not allow me to display big event name on it. Also, I don’t know how to filter the ‘date’ data based on conditions in the event table. i.e. if I want to only show the dates where the event has been confirmed. Wonder if you have better options? And if yes, please show me!! If not, how to make my current date table better looking?
Hi community I have the following question. I’d appreciate any idea how to active it. I'm organizing my data for AI analysis and need it to be both structured and easy to interpret.To achieve this, I'm grouping the data by a key variable — in my case, Persona. This approach is working well and displays the information mostly as intended.However, one thing is missing: I would like to include a summary row (e.g., a SUM or total row) directly below each Persona group to aggregate key metrics (such as totals, averages, etc.).My question:Is there a way to automatically add a SUM row beneath each grouped Persona to display aggregated metrics for that specific group?
I have many linked records and lookup tables from one table to another. However, if the name of the source table or field changes, the linked table name or field name does not change. It is now very confusing to know what is actually linked. Is there a way to update names automatically?
Hello everyone, I hope you can help me! I am creating an product database for internal purposes. I have created a Softr interface and I want to have a customer chat bot to can answer basic queries such as “Does this product have x feature?” “What is the price of this product” etc… I have managed to create everything with the help of Chat GPT (I can’t code!) but once issue remains, when I try to trigger a database search, it constantly returns with “I can’t find this product”. I have searched the console, it says it cannot access the database because authentication is required and returns an error 401 or 403. I have checked the token, the database ID all and everything is correct, so I am a bit at loss! I am the owner of the database. Hope someone can assist with this, thanks in advance for any advice!
