The example image for the new Record Review interface shows a profile photo (attachment field?) in a column, next to another column with multiple fields (team, start date, manager etc.). See screenshot.How is this layout created? This is the best I can do:How do I put the name fields and status field stacked on top of each other, next to the photo field?

Is there a way to put totals or aggregations at the bottom of (or any where for that matter) a list in Interfaces? I am not using the blank option - I'm using the Airtablke supplied ones because you cannot embed ones created from blanks into a website. They are always at the bottom of columns in the base grids. It is vey inconvenient to have to add things up with a calculator  every time Look something up. Is there an Automation that would do this?Thank, Scott

Hello, I manage two different teams - Team A & Team B. Both of these teams have their own separate base with their own projects. How I capture all of their projects into one grid table without having to do manual entry? I would like to have them sync together since their projects can associate with eachother. 

Hi all!Is it possible to create a sync-ed table (from JIRA or Salesforce for example) that will import data but also allow to create records?So it's a mix of sinced records + manual?thanks!

We have a form which pulls the initial data, but there are situations where we need more information. We want to put a button in the interface that connects to a different form, but the url address is dynamic, not static. Ideas on how to accomplish our goal: Make the url address static so it goes to the form each time.Viewer/commenter could openUse an automation button that populates the form and updates the record it was triggered from. Can someone with viewer/commenter access use this button?Create a template that will link to the record, but don't think this data will be able to be pulled for reporting which is not helpful long-term. Can someone with viewer/commenter access use this button?

Hi everyone,I'm hoping some of these questions can be answered simply or, at the very least, passed along to the developers who might implement some of these features in the future. I'm currently on a trial of it and I represent our organization that wants to use these functionalities to build little dashboards and tools to help our teams and colleagues scattered across the country. I was recommended this service by AI, in fact, when I was asking for specific features I need. It's amazing what it can do and I'm clicking around and building things that are really going to make a difference and be useful.However, I've come across a few stumbling blocks that are quite frustrating. Unless I can find a way around them, I don't know if I can recommend using this for our organization.Firstly, there's the issue of displaying attachments/thumbnails. I had this idea of creating a records overview where users could click down the side to show different entries. I'm trying to build a vacancy datab

I have set up an airtable form that I will send out to a large audience. I do want to restrict the access to multiple email domains for security purposes but it seems like I can only do just one email. Is it possible to do it for multiple? 

I'm having a mental block on something, and I'm sure someone will point out the right way to do this, and I'll privately say "oh, of course", but for some reason the coffee and adderal hasn't kicked in yet....I'm trying to make a member contact form that has a link to a specific person to populate an email table.I have two tables:Member - a list of people including status, name, email address etc...Email - a table that has all the email fields that I use an automation script that takes certain status values "Send" and sends those out and changes the status. I use this script method instead of the pure automation because I have several other scripts that generate emails from templates to send emails out.We essentially have a wiki page with a page for each users's profile (for example: <Jeff's profile >. I want to have a link that uses id=record_id() of a row on my members table, which ties to an individual. When they hit the link, it pulls up the name, member photo, and some

Hello guys,I'm struggling to achieve the desired results here. First: I have a formula that return a number between 1-156 based on the created time of a record:(VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT(CREATED_TIME(), '0.smh'))*(156-1))+0000 Although I want this formula to return an integer and not with decimal values.What to I need to change here? Thanks in advanced.

Hi all, We are trying to define roles and responsibilities within our organisation. One of the possible models that works really well in Excel is the Responsibility assignment matrix or RACI model. See https://racichart.org/ It is basically a table with tasks as rows and roles as columns and in each cell a marker that defines if someone is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted or Informed (hence RACI) by sdding a letter in a cell. When this table is filled in properly we can give each employee a clear overview of his/her responsibilities. Im getting the hang a bit of Airtable and am able to use it for a lot of our organisational overviews, but I have no clue yet if the above mentioned could also be achieved with Airtable and lead to a satisfying result, or if I should just stick to Excel for this. Would be awesome to hear your suggestions!

I'm using a Repeatable Group with an Update Record inside to take a list of records from a Find Records action and update a field in the found records. When the list of records contains only one record the test runs successfully. When the list of records contains more than one record I get a received invalid input error. I think I know why this is happening.If I look at the Input table after a test I see Record ID listed there followed by a single record id if only one record was found. If more than one record is found then I see Record ID followed by multiple record ids separated by commas. If this is what is being presented to the Update Record action of course this will cause an error. If I'm reading the documentation correctly the input from the Repeatable Group should be a separate Record ID followed by a single record id for each record found rather than a single Record ID followed by multiple record ids. Why is the Repeatable Group not presenting the Record IDs to the Update Rec

I have this code that works well when filtering a field that is SIngle Line Text empName="Dummy Employee"let records = query.records.filter(record => record.getCellValue("Name") === empName); But If i want to filter a field that is a "Link to another record" field, it will not find it.let records = query.records.filter(record => record.getCellValue("Linked Name") === empName); I have a work around where I have a formula field that converts the value in the field "Linked Name" to a string, but i would like to tidy it up. Has anybody encountered such an issue? Thanks in advance   

is there a way to get rid of that irritating warning that pops up in an interface when an action i am taking will hide the record from the view? the whole point of my action is to hide the record from my view. as it is, i have to click off of the record and select a new record to make it go away. 

I have a table with the following fields:Capacity Required - a number Capacity Provided - a roll up sum of a linked recordGap Remaining - the delta between Capacity Required and Capacity ProvidedI have another field called Status that looks at the Gap Remaining and provides a single select option The following are all nested, so will be triggered in order: If the gap remaining is negative, the status is "overstaffed"If the capacity required was 0 to begin with, the status is "N/A"If gap remaining is 0 the status is "fully staffed"if the gap remaining is less than the capacity required the status is "partially staffed"The status field behaves as expected for 1207 records in my table. But now I have a record where when the gap remaining is 0 the status is partially staffed...if and only if one of the values being rolled up is ".10" and only for one specific record. If I change the value from .10 everything works, putting a .10 value in a different record als

I’ve used a Rollup column to aggregate data from another table. There are duplicates in the data being aggregated, as well as blanks. I use the ARRAYUNIQUE(values) to operate on the roll up data. I even created an adjacent cell with an IF statement to test for ISBLANK and it is being returned as being blank. Once I set a filter the Rollup column to not show empty cells, empty cells are still shown. The issue is in the only DB in my account, in the Organization tab.

my kanban is a list of products with different stacks. I would like it so that when a product is moved from one stack to the other, the autmation sends a slack message as to what stack the product is currently moved to.How do I access the name of the stack? I clicked on the blue plus sign but nothing there relates to the stack name. Just the product details.

Dear community, Does anyone know how I can mute this notification? I am building a check in and check out tool in interfaces, when someone has checked out, I want to have his or her name removed from the list with people who are in the building. It works perfectly, only that ugly orange message, which tells me that the changes will hide this record keeps showing up. Hiding the record is exactly what I want it to do. It would be great to have this sorted out. Thanks for helping!!

Hi all,I'd like some help w/ a rollup field.Table A is a summary record for an order and table B has the line items of an order.  Each line item can have a different delivery date.  I'd like to create a rollup field in table A that calculates the difference between the min and max delivery dates of all line items in table B.   This rollup field presently looks like: DATETIME_DIFF(MAX(values),MIN(values),'days').  When I do this, I always get values of 0 returned.  I suspect that I cannot use a datetime_diff function within a rollup but I'm not getting an error so I wanted to confirm?  (I also just tried max(values) - min(values) but that doesn't work either, (also returns 0s).  I'd rather have a single field in my data to perform this function over 3 (one for min, one for max, one for the difference).  Any suggestions / confirmation that this just isn't possible using dates?Thanks!

I've created an automation that follows this schema:The issue is that when it finds three matches in the name, it writes the name as many times as there are matches. I only want the name to appear once.I don't know how to achieve this.Thank you for your help

Hi,I have automated record selection and adding a fixed value to the existing values in a field. or example, adding a new category to the existing categories of a record. now I would like to have this fixed value as an entry from the user through a form or something else and then use the value in my automation. So the user enters the fixed value and selects the records he want to add the value to. How can I make this possible? Is there a dynamic variable that could record the input and use it in the automation?  Thanks

Hi!1. I'm working on an Airtable automation that uploads files using chunked upload from Airtable attachments to Google Drive. The process fails with the error:'Response status was 308 Resume Incomplete but redirect mode was set to error'The logs show the script:Successfully startsGets the Google Drive folder IDObtains an access tokenCreates an upload sessionFails when trying to handle the 308 Resume Incomplete responseThe error occurs during the chunked upload process, specifically when handling the resume/redirect status code 308.Can you help me understand how to properly handle the 308 status code in this context? Or session (chunk upload) is not supported by Airtable?2. Of course, I would choose not to use chunk upload and upload files one by one (some of them are 100-300 Mb), but I face the 512 Mb RAM limit. Maybe you can also tell me what file size won't result into an error upon loading to the RAM in full size? That would also let me create a script, that partially automate

Let me preface by stating that I am new to airtable.I have 1 table that lists every compartment of a project. This table has a priority field that changes as the project progresses. I have another table that lists the tasks of every craft/discipline in all compartments. Each compartment has numerous tasks in it. Each task has a compartment priority field. I would like this field to be automatically updated to match changes made to the priority level in the compartment table. I'm sure this is possible and have attempted to do so with a script but have been unsuccessful so far. 

Does anyone have an idea how to create a histogram like this or a similar one, preferably one that can be scrolled?

Hi folks : )I'm trying to put a link in an automated email, and it keeps generating a sequence of characters at the end of the url that makes the link useless. Here's how I have it set up in the body of the email:Here's what the end of the url is supposed to look like:230526796288065/sign_document_d4deb6cd5dd95877_79e90063180a7cbf.pdfAnd here's what it looks like when the automation is done with it:This happens whether I set up the field as a URL or single line text, and the link opens fine from the data view; these extra characters only show up in the link generated by the automation email.Since the characters look like html encoding, I looked them up and found this, if it helps:%EF : ï%BB : »%BF : ¿How do I set it up so this doesn't happen? Or is it a bug that can be fixed?Thank you for your attention,Shawn
