Dear Airtable Community,I am refining a project management base, established in June 2025, to streamline task tracking for a small marketing team using Airtable’s Professional plan. While the base effectively organizes tasks, I seek to optimize automations to sync status updates across linked tables efficiently. Your expertise in this area would be greatly valued.My base comprises three tables: “Projects,” “Tasks,” and “Team Members,” structured per the Airtable project management template (https://www.airtable.com/templates/). The “Tasks” table links to “Projects” and “Team Members” via linked record fields, tracking approximately 200 tasks for 10 projects and 5 team members.I configured an automation in the Airtable Automations panel to update a task’s status in the “Projects” table when its corresponding record in “Tasks” changes to “Completed.” The automation uses a “When a record is updated” trigger and an “Update record” action, referencing the linked project record.However, duri
A quick question - I have a KanBan view, with a ‘Month’ field as the stacking field: JAN 24, Feb 24, Mar 24 …. etc.I want to be able to filter down my Kanban view, to just show recent activity, eg) 2025, but filtering the corresponding records for the view leaves the empty stacks in place. I know I can use the ‘hide empty stacks’ toggle, but it will hide any recent, relevant empty month stacks that I may want to use, and not just those in the past (2024, etc.) Any ideas?
Does anyone know how to get Airtable to go back to a previous look. The new look with the status bar on the left has made airtable more difficult to work with. Left Bar down the entire window instead of across the top.
The first time I decided to use airtable For the purpose of familiarization, I went through the steps of onboarding I chose a template about “cinema” - it drew everything for me, some data had already been entered, and displayed further steps in the left menu (see screenshot)And so I go through these steps, add my data, create new tables and records, and spent two hours on it.And finally, I click on “Remove sample data” in the hope that it will delete all these movie mocks and leave only mine - but alas, it deletes ALL RECORDS ALTOGETHER. All sorts of “Undo”, “snapshots”, digging in the trash - nothing could get my data back. This is probably a message for support, but alas, everything is so riddled with bots that it is impossible to turn to someone for help.
Hi,I’m newbie so I really need help on changing or renaming the records of my table. As far as I know, you can name the records while creating a table, but whatif I already have a table, what should I do to changing the name of my records?
Hi, I want to track employee annual leave via Airtable. They’ll input Date From & Date To (including time). There will be individual calculation fields for each leave type (e.g sick, annual leave etc) and an approval status. So this formula would be wrapped in IF conditions; IF Type = ‘Annual Leave” and Status = “Approved” this calculation will apply. Formula needs toonly calculate weekdays (ignore weekends) understand 1 day = 7.8 hours only needs to count hours if the time differs between date from & date to fields. Understand working hours are 8:30-5pm (time zones differ) So outputs for the following would be;17 June 2025 3:00pm → 17 June 2025 5:00pm → 2.017 June 2025 3:00pm → 18 June 2025 3:00pm → 7.817 June 2025 3:00pm → 18 June 2025 5:00pm → 9.817 June 2025 3:00pm → 24 June 2025 3:00pm → 46.8 I’m open to doing this more simply via the base design if the formula is too difficult to write (e.g having the employee select from a drop down to say ‘full days
Trying to build an automation where an email is sent when a record enters a view (specified by a month status). The record contains a previously uplodaded file (pdf). Up to that point I’m able to make the email automation work, but when trying to add a last “update record” step (so that the record is updated after the email has been sent out, by having its status changed/updated) I get an error. Seems as if Airtable wont be capable of updating the record “status field” because the record contains an attachment. Trying to work a solution that will allow me to keep using the product. I have a paid version.
Hello, I have a main base and several project bases that have a two-way sync with this main base. In these project bases, I receive data from my main base, but also have columns specific to these project which are freely editable by the teams.I would like my columns from the main base (the sync one) to be in editor access to the teams (values are editable, but not the column), and the non-sync columns to be in creator access to the teams. How can I do that ? Thanks !Agnès
I am perplexed by the labeling in Airtable Calendars. In the attached screen grab, I have two projects in a single calendar, separated by color. Great. However, it does not show the label of the fields I have associated with dates, even though it seems like there is ample room. So great, let me enable the labels I want. Except it doesn’t show the labels, it shows the date, but instead of just including the date on the specific entry, it puts it on ALL entries. Very perplexing. Why would I want to show the date of one entry on a completely different entry that falls on a different date? This makes no sense and can not imagine a case where this would be useful. Why won’t just show me the label that is already there on a specific date? Is there away to show the whole label on a given entry? In both the Interface and Calendar view I see this and can see know way to show the entire label.
Hi Airtable community, I am new to Airtable and have landed a major Interior Design project that I hope to use this resource to organize. There are a number of needs that I have that I believe are outside of my beginner level to set up properly. I’m hoping someone out there can help me. Another user @caroline_bolt posted about this very thing but I don’t see any advice from the community. Wondering if Caroline ever got it sorted?! This project is a 5,000 sq. ft. home so I need to track a lot. Rooms and what tasks need to be completed for each *Design Implementation: What phase, dimensions, etc. Purchasing: Supplier, Supplier quotes, Retail price, designer discount, sell price, production timelines, estimated delivery dates, etc. *Existing pieces: If we are refinishing / reupholstering. Tasks to be applied *so much more. *Tasks to be completed Any other interior design firms out there who are willing to share their base?? If not, anyone open to sharing a good starting point? I didn’t
The left sidebar, which contains nothing but the new LLM button, can no longer be collapsed. In an interface that is essentially a series of excel-like rows and tables, every inch of my screen is valuable, especially on a laptop screen. This bar of empty space actively slows down my workflow as it increases the amount of scrolling sideways I have to do, and it also throws off my muscle memory by moving all of the tabs over, and pushes the actual useful information on the left side of the screen away from the edge of the screen where I am used to finding it. Please add an option to move the LLM button to the top right, next to the base history and contact sales buttons, where there is a ton of empty space already. Or, add an option to minimize the sidebar, like we used to be able to. Or better yet, give us an option to hide the LLM button entirely if we are not interested in using it. I know every CEO believes that LLMs are the next big thing that must be included in any technology, but
I am importing three different reports into the same table. One report’s DOB field provides the date as we wish it to appear, MM/DD/YYYY. The other two reports provide a DOB format of DD-MMM-YY. I am using a formula to convert the DD-MMM-YY format into MM/DD/YYYY and then using an automation to move the DOB Calculation into the DOB field. Some of the converted dates are future years. The formula correctly converted 23-Sep-97 into 9/23/1997, but 29-Jan-56 became 1/29/2056. How do I get the formula to create DOBs in the correct century?Some years convert correctly, others not so much.Current formula.
