Base Design

It is valid just for me or the server is down?

I manage an online game company and players submit bookings through an Acuity widget on our website. Zapier monitors those Acuity event creations and pushes the records into an AirTable database. Players have a window of time in which they can reschedule their session (or I can reschedule their game upon request), but I’m having a problem getting Zapier’s feature to “Find Record” in Acuity Scheduling to find the old record and update AirTable accordingly. AirTable has the following fields (all populated by Zapier): “Game Date/Time” (formatted as Date) Not unique because I have several staff who can run games simultaneously. “Date Booked” (formatted as Date, populated by Acuity’s “Datetime Created:” field in YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss-0000 format) Not truly unique, but it will be very rare to have two game bookings come in at the same second, and even more rare to have two rebookings come in at the same second. I’m willing to use this as a unique record

I have a column of IDs stored as numbers, which I can filter for one at a time using the standard operators. Is it possible to filter for a list of multiple IDs in one go? For example, select every record where the ID is in 1234,4567,8910… etc similar to how in SQL you can do : “SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ID IN (1234,4567,8910)”

Hi Airtable World! This is something simple, but I can’t find the answer. When I opened a new Project Tracker template, it had a Project Lead column with individual names and headshots, for lack of a better name. I can’t figure out how to recreate the names or the images. They’re actually greyed out and I can’t edit them. In a previous account, I had to create a separate table for just team names and link to that sheet. I can’t get that to work, either. Suggestions? Thanks!!

I am looking for a function that : there are two table1 and table 2, and if I update or add data on table1, it automatically syncs to table 2. and on table 2, I wanna make a column that doesn’t relate with table 1. it should be isolated.

Hello. Use method of Airtable is asked. Is the mounting of the following contents possible? (1) A developer attaches a picture to a form screen. (2) A query isn’t shown to a form screen and only a text is indicated. Answer, please.

Hi, i have a form with “country” field and want to download list of coountries as dropdown list in that field. How do i do that?

This is mostly feedback for Airtable on why, having been very excited, I’m now disappointed by it after only fifteen or so minutes… tl;dr at the bottom. I was just introduced to Airtable via the Wintergarten / Marble Machine X Youtube channel (and I commend you for giving them a licence!!). I thought someone had finally built the hybrid database/spreadsheet I’ve been craving for probably 20 years. But, from what I can tell, there is NO WAY to constrain fields with custom validations, such as e.g. min-max length, permitted characters, etc. This means that using Airtable for structured data capture, with a view to future data import, is STILL going to require data cleanup that otherwise could be enforced at the time the data is entered. I can see this issue is bought up repeatedly in the forum here, but generally, the answer seems to be ‘no you can’t do that, try this clunky formula-driven-status-twin-field solution’ on an auto-closed thread, with no mention o

Is it possible to convert textual data within a column as you change the field type from single line text to checkbox. I’ve uploaded a pre-existing spreadsheet that contained the text “complete” to show the status of processing. I would like to convert the field to checkbox and therefore, convert any data marked complete to a checkbox.

Hello, I’m wondering if there is a way to append the letter M to a currency field. The field in question is a formula based on 2 other fields and the output is a number to 1 decimal point - ##.#, I’d like to format it in such a way that the letter M is appended to it since we know that all the values will be in the millions. Is that possible? Same question for just standard currency format fields, where the user just enter something like 1.2, and it formats it as $1.2M. Can either or both of those be done? Thanks in advance for posting your question! When someone provides an answer, mark their reply as the :white_check_mark: solution to your topic.

Hey all, I am in the process of creating a movie database that I can link or embed to my exisiting website. I am trying to establish a rating system using the existing logic that the 5-Star system uses, but out of 100 points instead. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all we are using Airtable to log queries, however records are being duplicated. Is there a way that Airtable can “flag” them based on a unique record such as the employee number?

Summary of records across multiple tables. Hi, I’m working on a setup where I have several tables for projects and one Summary table where I want to have summaries from all projects. The way I imagine it, Summary tab would contain one record per project. Here’s the scheme of how I imagine it. My product is actually not about ‘projects’ and ‘tasks’. I’m using this for the sake of example. In the Summary table, the four fields are Count fields. One for the count of all linked records, the remaining three have a condition to filter by status. The problem that I encountered is that the fields in the Summary table can be linked to one project table only. So it looks like I can’t have records for different projects. I looked for existing answers but in what I found the initial base designs were different, so I couldn’t locate a solution that

I’ve seen this asked elsewhere but not answered yet. I need to be able to create a list of options (for a single or multi-select field), order them, color code them, do whatever I need to do to them, and then be able to use that set of options in more than one place. Throughout a project, or even across different projects, I am often developing my own taxonomy and using that taxonomy in multiple places. At the moment, this doesn’t seem to be possible within Airtable unless I create my own reference tables and then link them, which is kind of a pain. It would be so so nice to be able to create something like a “global” options list, which I could reuse in any table or base, and only ever have to update in one place.

Hello! My table has an “all contacts” tab, which contains all the contacts our organization works with. We work primarily with two different groups - teachers and volunteers. We have an Airtable form for teachers to sign up to use our services, and a different form (in the same tab) for volunteers to sign up and help. We have a column to set their “Category” as either teacher or volunteer (this is currently a multiple select category because we have a few other tags and they are not mutually exclusive). Currently, when a new sign-up is recorded, we need to look at the record and manually tag the entry as a teacher/volunteer. Is there a way that, depending on whether the teacher or volunteer form was completed, the newly created record can automatically be tagged as either “educator” or “volunteer”? Thank you!

I’m setting up a rollup field to concatenate record IDs for general items that match a set of filters. There is a form input box to accept plain text, but it does not accept column names or cells as inputs. Is there a way to make it do that similar to a formula?

Fairly new to AirTable. I currently am trying to build two surveys for my org’s membership. My goal is to automatically link the records in Survey2 (Email, Organization, Role…) to Survey1 (Name, Email, Age…), but I don’t want users to be able to see the names of everyone who has submitted a response to Survey1. Is there a way to have them input their emails in Survey2, and then to automate AirTable to look up the record associated with that email in the table for Survey1, and update the name field to be linked to that record after they submit?

HELP PLEASE!! I have a table with a LOOKUP FIELD, pulling a date from another table. The date in the original table is correct…but the lookup field in the second table is pulling a date one day earlier. I cannot figure why this would be! Any help is appreciated.

Hi! I am currently trying to curate panels by using a multi-select field to list all the panels and tag my records with people in them. Some people are selected for 2+ panels. In another view I am then trying to view my panels by using the group feature. The problem is if a person is a fit for two panels, it creates a new group. However I don’t really care if a person is on two panels (nothing is happening simultaneously). Is there a way to keep the grouping singular?

I am trying to create a form for room booking, I want a field where the organiser fills in the name of the attendee complete with a separate column for contact number. I don’t want to get this information from another data base as each meeting will be with unique attendees, so a linked data base would not work. In addition if all 600 users have to add the name of the attendees with telephone number in a data base that is then looked up it creates GDPR issues. The object of the attendees section is to have a contact number for track and trace should another attendee fall ill after the meeting. So all I am looking for is a 2 column word type table where the attendees name sits along side attendees contact number. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi all :slightly_smiling_face: simple question (I hope) is it possible to import a a list of records (based upon a field) to delete from an existing base? (I have a master base with some data and i want to delete some of them using a list) Thanks in advance

Hi Team, I am seriously struggling with the basics here, so appreciate if someone can guide a noob towards the right base structure. To give some context, the idea that I am building is as follows: Patient goes for a guided injection treatment for musculoskeletal injury. Imaging clinician adds Patient Name and Patient Mobile Number to Airtable form embedded in site. At specific intervals (day 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 28) the platform will send an SMS poll asking about pain levels. The patient replies with a single number from 1-10. [this is done via Zapier and ClickSend] Imaging Clinician can then receive report with Patient Name and Pain Scores or alternatively log in to site (planning to use Memberstack) to access their data directly. You can see my pre-launch site (built in webflow) here - www.mobius.xyz So the main base I have built is as follows:
