Hi AirTable Community,

 

I have a commercial dry cleaning and laundry business. I’m trying to create an Airtable app that will let my clients share an itemised list of the garments they’re sending me for cleaning each day.

 

I’d like to create an interface with a form at the top, that lets the client enter each item for cleaning with relevant detail, then a table directly below which lists each item, so they can see a summary of the data they’re inputting in real time.

 

I’m confident about designing each element, but can’t figure out if/how I can put them on the same interface.

 

Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!

 

Yeap that’s doable.  Try using a Record Review or Blank Interface for that

Here’s what a Record Review one could look like and I’ve set it up here for you to check out

 

How many clients are you planning on giving access to the Interface?  You probably want to consider using Portals which comes up to $120 per month for 15 users on the Teams plan: https://www.airtable.com/platform/portals

Technically, you could do this with the list interface as well, where the entire screen would become the table that you’re looking for. And they could still add new records through a form.

So either the list interface, the record review interface, or the blank interface would work for this.

However, if you do this natively in Airtable, it will cost you extra money to pay for each user to become an editor of your interface (by using Airtable’s portals feature, which is cheaper than regular interface access).

Alternatively, you could do all of this for 100% free by using Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable, but the “table” you’re looking to create would need to be a list of linked records instead.

Check out my demonstration video which is slightly similar to what you’re looking for:

Additionally, Fillout offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records using a form, create custom PDF files from a form submission, accept payments on forms, pre-fetch dynamic data from an Airtable record, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, create new linked records on a form, add a login page to your form, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, and much more.

I give another demonstration of some of the advanced features of Fillout in this video:

Hope this helps!

Yes, you can have a form and a table on the same interface. Many platforms let you place a data entry form above or beside a table so you can input information and instantly see it displayed or updated in the table.
