Am I missing something? Tell me there is a secret. Right now the Interfaces can show the record’s Activity Feed but not the Revision History ? The only place I can show it is if I use the side panel to open a linked record, those you can have the revision history at the bottom but that is it!! As far as I know.

Hi!I am building an activity planner for an organisation and trying to achieve an interface page that shows a timeline view, but with dates running along the vertical (Y) axis rather than the standard horizontal layout. The idea is that users can scroll up and down to see multiple records (activities) lined up side by side against a shared time axis.Has anyone managed to:Replicate this with a different interface element or creative field/layout setup? Use an embedded chart or third-party tool to achieve this? Build something similar using a custom page or external embed?Any workarounds, extensions, or even "close enough" solutions would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I’d love to see an integration or extension for Airtable that enables automated image generation using data from records. Many teams—especially in marketing, eCommerce, and sales—often need to create social media posts, banners, product visuals, or branded creatives. Doing this manually is time-consuming, especially when the content changes frequently.Use Case Examples: Marketing Teams – Automatically generate social media graphics or ad creatives based on campaign details in Airtable. E-commerce Businesses – Create product banners that update dynamically with new prices, SKUs, or images from Airtable records. Sales Teams – Generate personalized outreach banners using client-specific fields (like name, company, or offer). HR & Internal Comms – Design recruitment creatives, event posters, or announcement banners based on internal data. How It Could Work: Users design image templates with placeholders for text, images, and colors. Airtable data fills in these placeholders dyn

I absolutely hate not being able to see the column title name unless i want to make the column width 2084985 feet. While it seems simple in nature, this is why i prefer Smartsheet. I want to be able to have columns sized appropriately with legible column headers and not have to scroll over to view.

(I’m trialing Kanban to see if it makes sense to [try to] get our person team to switch from Asana) Because of each Kanban column is so thin, and the font for the title of the card is so large, only a few words from the record’s title fit in the card, and I often need to click on the card to understand what it is about. This is the case even after I significantly shortened the titles. One possible solution would be to make the font size smaller, or customizable. Another possible solution could be to make the width of columns customizable. Right now I have a board with 4 columns, and the right half of my screen is completely empty, which doesn’t make sense considering I can’t even read the short titles in full. If I could make columns wider, I’d be able to see the full text. However, this would only fix the problem for boards with few columns. For boards with more columns, we’d still need another fix, like making text smaller or skinnier. – Currently because the kanban columns are very

I am trying to convert from Asana to Airtable using Kanban cards. But the Kanban cards, even with the recent improvements hiding fields if they are empty, are still too chunky. Using a non Kanban view on Asana. I can see 15 tasks without having to scroll down, and their Kanban view will show around 5 tasks. But with Airtable, the cards are so huge, I can only see 2 or 3 cards before I have to scroll down. If there was an option on each card to show a compact view or a standard view, it would greatly improve the usability of Kanban cards with airtable. The compact view only needs to show the title, and if you want to see more of the card you can toggle the standard view. This would greatly increase the usability and help me move everything off of Asana.

Hi there! I’m using Airtable to plan out the scenes of a story, and I love having the gallery/kanban view to be able to rearrange scenes within chapters. Right now I’m using a short description of the scene as the “title” for my kanban/gallery cards. However, many are getting cut off and making it hard for me to get a truly “at a glance” view of the scenes I’m working with. (I would post an image, but the interface won’t let me submit my question with one!) Is there any way to force the cards to display all cell contents on cards? Thanks!

How do you think web data analysis will change the way companies make decisions in the next few years?

Hi Airtable Community, I’ve got a sandbox running on one of my networked Airtable bases as I work on configuration to connect it to another platform, but I keep getting an error message when I try to apply changes made in the Sandbox to Production:  It’s the same error every time. I have creator permissions in both environments, as do the accounts of our external vendor working on the integration. I emailed Support, and was greatly disappointed to get an AI bot response. I’m hoping some real human beings can help me out.

We have a large volume of data in two tables (Facilities and Users) that we’ve imported via a HyperDB. We want to make routine updates from our company data lake into these two Airtable tables. There is linked data between our two tables (Facilities, Users). The updates don’t have to be instant - once daily or even a little less frequently is ok. It looks like this won’t be able to be done via a script - that it will require manual intervention via the browser tools, is this correct? Thanks in advance. Trying to point our development team in the right direction and are also open to help. 

Hello, I have built a table with links to spotify, Instagram, twitter and tik tok and I also include the number of followers of each of the artists in the table. I update this data by hand and I would like to know if there is a way to automate this update or to do it on demand for a previously selected group of artists. Thank you!

Field agents are currently not available in forms. Does anyone know if this is in the product roadmap?

I am learning Airtable and am with a new company as of November. I’ve taken many of the online classes to learn the system but am still encountering issues with a few things. I believe part of it is the way the current data and forms are designed. I don’t think they were too far off during the creation process. However, I’d love some assistance reviewing a few small items. I’m unable to change some forms and a few other oddities. The only person who knew the system has left the company. Perhaps a 15–30-minute call. I’m sure I’m overcomplicating things. Anyone with 30 minutes willing to help me out?

Hi all, Im trying to build a timeline and all the surrounding forms to manage the factory bays and mechanics on airtable.I’m wondering if there’s any way to colour mask (possibly the background) the weekends as well as masking off the day-offs of the mecanics.  Is there a way to do this on airtable or possibly on extentions? Thanks for your attention.

Hi all, I hope you’re well. I'm building a paid directory and I need to integrate invites link in my IT strategy.However, I'd like people who might stop paying the subscription to no longer have access to the directory (without deleting the invite link).Does someone know if this is possible ?  

I’ve seen this has been requested for a long time now, but those feature haven't still seen the light. My team struggles a lot for the current interface limitations:Not being able to see the full text entered in a cell. This happens both in table and lists views. There is no current solution for this, unless people manually open the record, which is not always the possible solution when you're reviewing big tables that are text-intensive No font colors: this is something I do not understand. Why it is not possible to have font colors? There are rich text fields, with headings, bold, italics… You can event set a link that will color the text in blue. But no way to change the font color.Those limitations are embarassing when we look at how many powerful things we can do with Airtable. It would be great to hear from the Airtable team about those features, at least knowing if this is something that is being considered since I see there are three years old posts in the forum asking for it.

En los botones de búsqueda dentro de la interfaz, actualmente solo se puede buscar por el campo principal de esa tabla. Por ejemplo, si tengo en la tabla cliente: como primer campo ; “ Teléfono ” . Como segundo campo; “ Nombre ”. Actualmente solo puedo  buscar por Teléfono, porque está establecido u  ordenado  como campo principal. No puedo buscar por nombre o otra categoría , aunque la vista previa si lo contiene. Sería posible de alguna otra manera, que no se unifique estos campos. ¿?Podrías hacer algo para que sea posible. 

I reviewed the following related topic but would like to do a quick check to make sure I’m on the right track…I work in natural resources but essentially have an inventory type question. I have locations (preserves) with sub-locations that I am tracking inventory from (both receiving and outgoing). I am still building my base and recently realized that I should probably move the locations into its own because multiple tables/records are related to the location AND it’s a bit more complex than a short list of 5 items. As I started building the location (preserve) table, the problem of sub locations came up. I’ve included a couple screenshots of how I have it setup at the moment. Does this look okay from a design/structure standpoint? Ultimately I will have seeds coming from these locations and plants going back to the same or different locations.  Newly made Location tableSub location table. Final thought, I plan to edit the primary field to be a concat function of preserve + sublocatio
