Hi all,We have an AirTable base for our marketing team that has multiple "sub-bases" leading into one "master base". The thought of this is to have everyone keep their work flow in their base and have all the information on the team in one place with the master base. We do have an enterprise account which is why this question pop's up, why can't we edit fields in the master base. At first we were able to but it switched and now the master base has little to no use.  Thanks,Will

Hi there, We use airtable to track employee hours and payroll. A former employee set up our base so I'm a bit unfamiliar how to make changes to the boards within airtable. However, I have two new employees that I'm trying to generate a random employee ID number for and can't get a number to generate. I'm not completely sure where to go to make the changes. When I go to add a new employee to the base, a "number" generates but it has both numbers and letters, I'm looking for a pure number. Screenshots attached. Any help would be extremely appreciated 

Hello everyone. I just started my journey with air table but I am facing a dilemma with hidden field formation on a form that i am tryng to create. Here is the background of my issue. I have two tables Delegates and Summary: The "Delegates" section contains details such as names, businesses, and dates of birth. The "Summary" section is linked to the "Delegates" table and presents information in a structured manner. It includes not only names, businesses, and birthdates but also 80 additional fields representing steps that delegates need to complete in a program. Delegates can complete these steps in any order; for instance, Delegate 1 might finish steps 1 and 3, while Delegate B might complete steps 3, 4, 6, and 7. Each step allows the delegate to select whether it was completed before the bootcamp (BF), after the bootcamp (AB), or during the bootcamp (BT). This selection is indicated in the respective cells, distinguishing between AB and BT.My objective has two aspects.

Hey folks,I have two tables:Table 1Table 2On table 1 I would like to get a count of the number of records that satisfy certain criteria from table 2 and return one of two values: Limit or Not Limit.The conditions I'm looking to count with are as follows:1. Records created with a specific timestamp range. (For my use case it would be records created in the current month).2. Records created that are associated to values across one of three columns. (For my use case we would be Baisc OR Pro OR Premium. So in the screenshot below we would count the number of values in the "Basic Cover Design" column that have a timestamp within the current month for instance.)3. Run this counting logic/formula against each row in table 1 so in order to determine if the user has reached their limit or is not at their limit for the current month. (I mocked up an example of the end state I'm hoping to achieve below using single select fields. But am assuming we would need to use formula fields to populate the

Hi all - my IT team has some technical questions about Airtable that I don't know the answers to (or even really understand!). Can anyone shed light on any of the following questions?Is there AD integration for employee users?Is there 2-Factor Authentication for all users?Is the data backed up? For how long?Are the backups encrypted?Is all the technology patched and current?Is the vendor solution patched on a scheduled basis?Are critical patches applied as soon as their identified, both to the solution and to related technology?Is storage provided, and how much?Is it a Cloud/Saas solution (non on-premise-managed by vendor)?What other security measures are taken?Please provide details on the SOS verification.Thank you,Kelsey Deusterman

Hello - Is it possible to add a signature card image (see attached) from my computer to an email in an automation? 

Hi all,I am wondering if it is possible to simply add a multiple select option to multiple highlighted fields without removing any of the other preexisting multiple select choices within those cells?

I've created a base and the goal is to share it as a form:When the user has made their selection, is it possible for anyone to see the results, as demonstrated by this mock up. Trying to create a shift booking application, that users can book a shift and see the results,

Hello, I'm trying to create a new record in my base every time a new row is added to a google sheet.

Hello, how can I rename all the "Web" addresses to a "Link" for a cleaner user experience? Thanks!  

We are developing an Airtable base for our college event planning team. I have linked the calendar to my Outlook calendar, but I can’t figure out how to maintain the color coding for various events. This is important because, for example, we need to track which events require the dean’s attendance. Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Y'all!I'm struggling to figure out how to do the following and would love some help!I've built a base that tracks registered and onboarded people in a "People" table. "Registered" and "Onboarded" are options in a single select field. The end result of what I'm trying to build is a simple graph that has day on the X axis and a record count on the Y axis. I want to have daily snapshots of total number of registered and onboarded people as my Y Axis. I want to automate this somehow. I think I should make a new table with dates as the primary field and then one field that is the total registered people for the day and another field that is total onboarded people for the day.But how can I automate this so I don't have to check and update daily?I figured automation would work, but the options are so limited with a time as a trigger.I'm thinking I might need a script that runs daily?Can someone help me out here? Thank you!-Taylor

Hello,I can't find the issue here that is preventing what i thought would be a very simple table calculation.I have a table called Deals with many different fields but one of them is a currency field that i want to use a rollup field in another table to calculate the sum of the values in this currency field.I'm stumped as to what i am missing here but all i get are zero values. I tried to workaround the currency field by making a formula field that just turns the currency values into normal integers but no luck.I attached a few screenshots for context, hopefully someone can see what i'm missing.Thanks,Alec

I'm trying to add tags to records via bulk import (1,800+ records) and I do not want to override the tags that are in the column now, but add additional tags to that column. Is there a way to do this? 

Is there a way to create a time slot, similar to when you add a calendar a pop up appears and you can choose a date. I've aded a screenshot of what I've created, which is a single select option, But would like it to be more flexible. So, if you choose 9am it will autofill a a two hour duration, 9-11 or if you chose 8am it will autofill 8-10 am.Thanks. le.

I have a time tracker table and a time tracker rollup table.I have a Formula in the Time Tracker Table which Concatenate({Department},"-",{Week #},"-",{Employee}).So the output becomes: Logistics-35-John DoeIn this Time Tracker table, I have a Duration time based on a (Start Date/Time) and (End Date/Time). I have two automations.- 1. When a new record is created take Formula Column and enter the output into the Linked Column cell.- 2. When a record is edited take Formula Column and enter the output into the Linked Column cell.The process that occured, was that an employee uses a form and enters their department, time, and start/end time. When the record is created the formula then creates the data entry (e.g.: Logistics-35-John Doe). The automation would then take the formula and enter it into the linked cell. The linked cell would then populate the linked cell which was a single row (Logistics-35-John Doe).Lastly I had a rollup to aggregate the linked cell duration time. So

Hi there, I am trying to calculate a formula for a discount. The discount category is single select (10% or 20%). I want to calculate what the total revenue will be with the selected discount. The current formula for revenue is (price * quantity) 

Hello, I’m new to the Airtable platform, thank you all for your future answers :slightly_smiling_face: With the Interface Designer application, I would like to display a sum of durations in a graph. The field is well created as a duration but impossible to sum it in the graphs. On the other hand, no problem in the Number element, the sum of the durations does this well. Could you help me on this problem where maybe because of BETA version this option is not developed yet? thank you for your comeback Cordially
