Hi everyone.  I have built a database of car images that dynamically filters models down to by the make selected, the trim by the model selected, and so on.  When I build out an interface the dynamic filtering functionality works as intended (if I select Audi in my dropdown on the interface, when I select my model filter it is automatically limited to Audi models.) 

 

However, my issue begins when I share the interface.  Currently I’m sharing the interface to the web with password access.  My team will handle the updating of the interface, and other members of my organization will need to reference the data on a read-only basis.  However, when I send out the share link the dynamic filtering functionality of my drop down no longer function in the same way.  If I select the make Audi, the models no longer filter down to Audi models.  Is there some setting that I’m missing to enable dynamic filtering on a shared interface?

Unfortunately, the dropdown filters do not yet support dynamic filtering. I’m not sure if Airtable is planning on implementing this, but it would be very nice if they did! You should definitely submit it as a feature request on their product ideas form.

One way that you could do this is by turning to a 3rd-party portal like Softr. I believe that Softr supports this feature.

Some of the other portals might support it as well, but I’m not 100% sure.

The most popular portals that are currently available for Airtable are:
NolocoJetAdminSoftrPoryGlide, and MiniExtensions.

Thanks for the response! It seems that the support for dynamic filtering has been added recently.  However, it’s only functional within the Airtable platform and doesn’t seem to work within the share link.  I’m in contact with the Airtable support team, I’ll update here when I hear back from them!


Hm yeah, I poked around and don’t see a setting to make it work for shared pages either

You’re probably already aware of it, but as a workaround we could invite the other members of your org to the Interface as read-only users for no additional cost too
