Hello there, I’m using Airtable as a stock system and I need a simple web interface and a counting script to help an automate some tasks. The purpose of the script is to get the total amount of items in stock + how many more need to be ordered. What is a bit complicated is the way the products are listed in our database. The structure of a product is as follows: Product01 -> Assemblies01-09 -> sub-assemblies -> raw material In the web interface, I would like to have have a form saying “How many products do you need?”, I put a number, the script loops through the different assemblies and components and outputs a nice order list. If you think you are up for it, we can go into more details :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks! Guy G

Apologies if this has been posted before but I need to generate a ‘sexy’ appearance for my meeting details. The table layout is too much detail and spread too widely, the Calendar is fine for previewing dates, but the expanded (extended?) view you get is too Duplo - fields are too tall, so lots of scrolling for detail. Setting up a Form or a Kanban View has the same problem - the Form view is back to Duplo style, and the Kanban involves too much scrolling. I just want: Title Venue picture Venue location Date (and, ideally duration - ie start and finish times) URLs for Web Facebook and Twitter links Contact details Other details like cost and timings -All set out closely -but legibly- together like an address label or a ‘for sale’ block in a newspaper. No editing options required - this would be display only, driven by entries from other views. This is just to set out a ca

Wanted to share that my crew has found success wrapping Airtable forms in an Automator web pop-up. We use it for Creative Requests, and have added a custom icon, pushing the app to all Requestor’s docks. ChrisWrites.com – 29 Jun 12

Need someone who can help us figure out how to link tables so that we can replace a photo in one table with another. Thanks. Coleen

I need to create an airtable report that looks something like this (currently a googlesheet) can discuss specifics, pay rate, etc if practical Wayne

Looking for help as follows: Form view captures simple data of works to be completed (Worksheet) Worksheet link is sent to 3 contractors to put a quote next to each work line. The jobs and quotes can then be sorted, by priority and cost. Contractor is awarded job, once job is finished contractor captures signature and job is rated good to bad to capture contractor work history Simply but a couple of complex areas that are out of my scope

From time to time I find myself moderating brainstorming sessions, and have been experimenting with the K-J technique. In most cases I have participants who are remote and therefore cannot use sticky notes. I have tried several experiments using Trello, but the limited voting capabilities and the need for authentication to do anything other than add comments is a showstopper. A fair fraction of the participants either won’t create an account, or find it too daunting to add cards. The ability to easily create forms that don’t require authentication is a huge boon for this. Furthermore, with a little gymnastics with formulae and counting, it’s possible to create interesting voting schemes: e.g. 3 points for your highest priority, 2 for the second, 1 for the third. Here is a simple example, with three sep

I made a diagram explaining to myself what the capabilities of airtable are relative to whatever task I’m doing. And how airtable fits in the larger grand schemes of data management principles and heavy-data processing based tasks I ended up modifying it slightly gitpush / gitpull is just my abbreviations for subversion-control-push and subversion-control-pull

Recently, we created a custom Vue.js web app for a national retail chain to use for internal management walks. Here are some of the features we included: Two fields (store number, date) act as a kind of key and after they are entered, the form fetches existing records that match those keys. If no record exists, it creates a record. Dropzone.js for uploading pictures and integrating with the camera on a phone/tablet. Star ratings fields. Email a read only view of the record using a field. Simple navigation I don’t want to share the link to the forms on here, but there has to be other companies interested in custom airtable forms and views for their business. If you would like a look contact me via rowandtable.com

Looking for help with an advanced Airtable implementation or integration? We’re currently exploring the potential for a program to officially vet and certify 3rd party consultants to assist you with your advanced Airtable needs. Though Airtable is easy enough for anyone to use, many of our customers have built sophisticated workflows and have asked for expert consultation and implementation. As we’re still in the early stages of research, we’d love to hear from you and get your feedback to ensure that this program adequately meets your needs.

I use airtable mostly as a product database + putting purchase orders to my vendor overseas. Each vendor uses their own weird excel cataloging system (Everyone in China does this), so I use airtable instead to send my own unique database of products in PDF format I don’t want to bother letting them know what my airtable system is and want to keep things simple This is how I control document workflows for letting my vendor overseas changes on my end: Make the relational database schema with all the items in there Add quantities to those items Create a specific view for those product items (Product SKU, Description, Image, and Quantity) Print it out using CutePDF printer (makes the adobe PDF) run OCR recognition on the PDF too Modify in AdobeAcrobat if needed Send file to vendor Whenever I have to revise the PO to resend back out to the vendor (e.g. quantity numbers change, or I ha

We are new to Airtable and need some help getting some of the features working (particularly linking tables and also hopefully setting up a search and replace feature). We are using Airtable to track hundreds of photos in a very large documentary project (7 hours of video). This project is for a private foundation. The database will include tables of current photos (that are in the current version of the film) and tables of the new photos (we are replacing many of the current photos and also tracking copyright info). We want to be able to search new photos, find the one we want, and insert the new one into a record of the current photos which are in another table (most of the current photos will be replaced). Also helpful would be some general advise on better search criteria and categories and help to set up linking, lookup, and a way to insert photo from one table to the another. Also setting up useful views of data.

Hello! this is my first post on this airtable forum. Its only been a few days since I’ve used this software, but I am finding so many applications I can use from this program. I’ve only touched the surface of what I can do so far though One important thing for me, at least, is taking revision logs of things I change overtime when I build my database schemas / naming conventions I tend to add many notes describing each column of data I am using. But more specifically, I like embedding image links so I can add more complex data in my field description, including but not limited to schema designs Here’s a sample gif of what I am talking about, using the “Product&Catalog Orders Template” Naturally, I will put database schema design templates or NamingConventions in these notes. Since I want my column name values to be

Can anyone share any social media templates?

Hi, I am creating a Price Comparison Site/Table and need help how to create the main table. We will offer multiple products, with multiple features, from multiple vendors.Customers need to be able to choose different products from different providers - and one single total sum calculated. An example is below. Important: I have limited tech knowledge, but I must be able to edit the tables myself after go-live and not have to rely on anyone else. Thanks all. Kevin. Process: Choose a Base Product / Product(s) Choose from various product features for each chosen product(s) Press “get quote” (show list and price from all vendors who provide the chosen product and chosen product features. Choose preferred Vendor(s). Show Summary Total of total price for all products chosen. Allow user to click on each vendor offer to either (order now, or buy now, or ask for more informati

The https://www.airtable.com/universe interface is awesome, its left sidebar allows you to view different parts of your base without switching between tables and views. How to make a sidebar like this one for my own base? Essentially it is a two-part iframe HTML page but I just wonder if someone has done a more complete and secure template that could be implemented without advanced HTML knowledge.

How we use Airtable: We are currently converting our main training information related database from Zoho to Airtable. The main step we are working on is CRUD API’ing Airtable to a Drupal Website, Cloudinary, Asana and Webmerge to DocuSign. What we need: We are looking for a freelance Airtable developer to jump in and finalize the transition process, as well as maintain the system going forward. Please email us at jobs@tuneupfitness.com if this seems like a fit!

I am interested in doing some Airtable solution implementation. I am experienced with client requirements discovery, solution architecture and integrations. I work with a range of software platforms and use airtable for my own project management. I am not a coder, more a power user with a lot of real life business process experience.

From 2007 until around 2011 I was the Director of Operations for the Destiny Search Project of which I was also a Founder. The original Destiny Search Project was formed in 2007 after the disappearance and search for missing Destiny Norton in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 2008 the group was organized into a Non-Profit and operated for several years. This included searches for Camille Cleverley, Hser Ner Moo, Susan Powell and others. Unfortunately with the departure of some of the board of directors operations came to a close. For some time, it was hoped to bring back the project and improve upon it, and make it available nationwide. At one time an open source software project was even started but it also ended when the primary operations had been ended. Now several years later, and with new technology and online tools available the hope that Destiny Search Project could allow for community volunteer based organized searches for missing person can now be realized. The goal of this

This is the Job Search database that I extended to include: applications, companies, positions, contacts and activities. I recently found a new job using this database. The main areas I would like to improve, but don’t see a way to do so yet in Airtable: 1) Auto-populate a position when I get a hit on an application, 2) auto-select and/or auto populate the company when I select a position or contact, 3) restrict the list of linked rows to just the rows that are a match for that company / position. But aside from having to do a bit of extra work (to keep the company and contact fields populated) it worked great. https://secure.gooddata.com/reportWidget.html#project=/gdc/projects/bv476s1u3u4agy2lib60h8opnbiv9btg

Hello! I am creating my company’s first-ever master content calendar for marketing & comms. This is probably a fairly simple job. I just can’t seem to find the right base to use, and I don’t have the resources internally to delegate this task to someone on my (small but mighty) team to take care of. Would love to outsource creating the base, populating it, and, who knows, maybe even managing it on an ongoing basis. Thanks in advance for your help!

I am a part-time social dance teacher and also work as an IT support person in two private companies working in dance teaching business. Some months ago I got a task from my boss - to build an application for scoring, to be used in a dance competition. The competition in question is a peculiar one: you see, in a normal dance competition, there are fixed couples dancing, and nominated judges give the scores. All existing scoring apps are build around this hypothesis. Ours was different however: it was based on peer review, ie. every leader danced with every follower and the dancers gave scores for each other. No existing application bends to this peculiar case, so I needed to build one from scratch. I also needed to make my application an online one, so at first I thought about SQLite + PHP. Then I ran into Airtable and thought, well this might actually have great pote
