My AirTable implementation deals with scheduling and staffing of courses for a university. We have a table for Professors, a table for Courses, and a table for Offerings which marries the two together with each record representing a single staffed course-section that students will ultimately be able to register for.Of note: currently our professors do not have AirTable access. Having them create accounts is currently not an option, unfortunately. Additionally, our plan does not include AirTable Portals.When we initially link professors to offerings, we need to send emails to have the professor accept or decline the position. We currently intend to do this via a Fillout form that will allow them to edit a single select field with accept/decline as the options (the “Accepted?” field below). Our issue is with the fact that professors teach several offerings every term, so sending one email for every offering would be cumbersome. Instead, we want to find a way to send a single email to eac
For the love of all that is holy, WHY!?In this most recent UI update, Airtable seems to have randomly increased the margin width on the Interface side pages, messing up many of my pages and making it much harder to fit three elements per line in many circumstances.Example 1:The lines in each section of this page used to fit the width exactly.Example 2:The Action Menu dropdown was to the right of the Status field. Now it is pushed to another line.It is no longer possible to have a section division, and fit three total elements abreast. I hope to god this is a bug and not an intentional choice...
Hello! I’m trying to create an automation that allows me to add someone to a collaborator field without replacing any data that is already in the field. Is this possible? That is, if 3 people are already in the collaborator field and I want to add a fourth via an automation, can the fourth be added without removing the other 3 that are already in the field?
Hello! Recently took over Airtable and am getting familiar with it. I set up an easy lookup between linked tables, but am having difficulty with a little more complex scenario. I have two tables that are linked, let’s call them ‘Operations’ and ‘Account Management’.Each table has fields that are: Partner, Territory and Business Line.I’m trying to set up a lookup in the Operations Table, where if all three of the values match in the linked tables (match on Partner, Territory & Business Line) - then return the value in the ‘Account Manager’ field which is stored in the Account Management table. Assuming this is possible, any ideas on the easiest way?
Hi all,Regarding the new UI changes, I really dont care very much about new buttons disposition, but changes in appearence colouring have been a downgrade in my PoV.The new Light appearance is extremely Light, and the Beta Dark mode, in my POV, is currently not good enough (contrasts, especially with coloured dropdowns are not good yet).Boxes marked in green used to be filled in predetermined color (in my case, green), but now it has been changed all to white. Couldn’t find a way to change that with the current UI changes.If someone knows how to, please let me know. Thanks!
Hi All, Our team is having trouble with the cells running into the other pages when printed. This doesn’t affect everyone, just some people which makes me think it might be a setting issues. Any thoughts?“So the problem of the grid lines not closing between pages is still there, but it looks less messy than having long columns of text and pics in the body of the report. I tried using the Page Designer Extension or an outside program as suggested by others, but they require you to basically restart the whole template.”
The back end of one of our products is built on Airtable. Its been runing fine, but in the last couple of months (since May 18th) it hasn't been working anymore. Unfortunately we didn't discover this until now, and this means a key product in our whole business is broken/down.Did airtable change its scripting system to change how attachment fields work? The images being attached work, the script appears to successfully run, logs are totally okay, just the images don't get attached at the end.More info:We wrote an airtable script that, based on data, attaches a photo to the airtable. The script stopped working recently. It gets triggered, appears to run, logs look fine, but images aren't attached. It was working before, but stopped working around may. What do you think the issue is?We’ve emailed Airtable support but haven’t heard back yet :( let table = base.getTable('Raw Data');let inputConfig = input.config();let recordNumber = inputConfig.RecordNumberAutomation; // Replace with actua
Hi All,there is an issue for some users I invited to use my interface. An error message pops up for them when clicking in one of the tabs. They are all read only users with NO access to the base. That specific tab is created using the new interface templates, where you can switch between views: list or gallery. Error message:An error has occurredSorry, your request conflicted with another change.Thank you in advance!
I'd like to draft a prompt for an ai field to carry out actions on a specific field in a base but this field may on occasions be blank. I get a “Required field is empty.” error. How do I structure my prompt so that the ai field ignores this field if it's blank but carries out actions on it if data is present? Thanks
Hi useful people, Our Airtable database contains multiple services with attendance data. We also log the individual names of each attendee. Airtable can easily gather the total about of attendees across a period of time - my question is, how does Airtable gather the individual data? For example, Airtable may tell us that there were 1000 attendees across a calendar year, but how many many of those are the same people? What we’re looking for is the amount of individuals who have accessed the service in the calendar year, not a total attendance tally. I hope that makes sense… thank you in advance.
I’m very new to Airtable, here’s what I’m trying to achieve. I have a table named Inventory: Name, Category, Price.A table named Project: Address, inspection date, images, Reno Estimate. Ideal process: From the Project I want to select items (30-50 items) (ideally a multiplier field. eg: 1x, 2x etc) from the Inventory list. (Or even just a checkbox) So for the Project I’ve selected what Inventory items I’ll need and the total of their cost.Hope that makes sense.
Hello, I have a JF table which contains dates of public holidays and an APPRO table which contains a date field. I can't test if the date field in the APPRO table is a public holiday. Does anyone have a solution?
Hello everyone!Thank you for taking the time to read my post.I’m new to Airtable, and absolutely loving it so far!I’ve already built a database, created forms, and now I’m exploring interfaces. My goal is to give different establishments we work with access to some of their own data, so they can add, update, or delete it as needed. I’m currently trying to achieve this within Airtable itself, without using third-party tools.I noticed that when sharing an interface, there’s an option to restrict access based on specific email domains, which is great, since most of the businesses we work with have unique email domains.I tested this using a random email I created for the test, and a few unexpected things happened: I received $10 (which I wasn’t expecting). I got an email saying I would be charged (also not something I intended). When I logged in using the test email, it didn’t allow access to the shared interface. Instead, I saw a pop-up saying I don’t need to request access, it was a
