Dashboard Designer - Milestones

I mean, Airtable’s interfaces aren’t that flexible so it’ll be very difficult to do this in a satisfactory manner only in Airtable.

I think you’d probably want to be using the Blank template for it’s added flexibility, and I wonder if you could hack a Kanban component to function as the life event module. To try to do that though your actually data organization will probably suffer. To me this is when you start looking at portal building solutions like Softr. 

Hey ​@bweber,

This is a fun use case. I currently work with multiple schools, so I’ve seen tons of different interfaces on this space.
Feel free to schedule a call, I’d be happy to go through you different options together!

This can be achieved in a Record Detail interface within Airtable.

Airtable does have some desing limitations so, for example, the 3 columns distribution of Salesforce will not be replicable, but you definitly can have a photo (looks super nice and professional) followed by main information, and then list of linked records such as Events.

In fact you can display Life Events as a sub-set of all the Student’s events by applyin filters to the Event Type and show it in a “Gallery” view that will mimic what you are showing from Salesforce.

I’ve built similar Airtable bases within the education filed so if you'd like some Airtable guidance, you can schedule a free meet here. Happy to help!

​@mtrebinonixon This was the answer I was looking for! The Gallery feature will link to the activity and can be filtered by the different types of life events. Eventually I can create a different table with the icons that they show but thats for future usage!
