Are there any plans to make a more robust print/export/embed functionality in the Interface feature? I know there are some graphs that can be printed, but I want to be able to export the full Interface as a PDF. We are using the Interface for an org-wide dashboard of our shared goals and the best way I could figure out how to do it was to take screenshots and recreate it in a separate program, which in addition to being cumbersome, creates a low-quality final product. Can you please prioritize this feature so we can use the interface as a share-able dashboard with a broader audience? We don't want to have to have everyone in our org to have to log into Airtable to see the dashboard, we want to be able to embed, print, and share.

The print aspect of Airtable has always been a bit lacking in my opinion. The BEST solution I have found to getting great print reports/output is the 3rd party integration of DocsAutomator https://app.docsautomator.co/
It is SO easy to link up and and use, and the bit of initial time to create the Google doc template is worth it. I actually ended up making my Airtable much more streamlined as a result of tweaking to use DocsAutomator. Rupert is also awesome at responding to questions.
Many of Airtable’s interface pages allow you to add a print button and an export button to the page.
However, if that doesn’t give you what you’re looking for in terms of generating documents, you would need to turn to 3rd-party apps, such as:
- DocuMint — the original document creation app for Airtable. Creates PDF files.
- DocsAutomator — creates Google Docs documents or PDF files.
- Make’s integrations — which can be integrated with any document-creation app of your choosing, even something as simple as custom Microsoft Word documents. If you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread. For example, here is one way that you can instantly trigger a Make automation from Airtable.
- Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable — Fillout lets you automatically generate custom PDF files from a form submission. I show off this feature on this Airtable podcast episode:
Using Fillout to create an eSignature approval process with PDF file creation.
Hope this helps!
