Interface Designer

Hello I am trying to share an interface to new users as view-only. This shared interface should be as low-effort as possible, immediate access to the table and the detailed records, nothing else. Instead the invited user is asked to sign-up (for free), is shown an horrible and totally irrelevant App Builder process and shown he has 14-days free account. This is totally unacceptable for us: is that how it is supposed to work?  How do expert users of Airtable do this? Is it possible to embed the interface somewhere else? Or do we need to build in our website these interfaces via API? 

I have an interface with a list that has a button that needs to grab records in a linked table.I thought that the searchable area would always be the primary field of the child table. In my instance, the data from some rollup fields in that table.Does anyone know how to control what’s being used as a searchable field and what 5 columns are shown in the selector, as I’m about to go crazy, as it’s really difficult just to select something where everything is NA?

Hi there! I created an interface for my base with 3 pages. In one of the pages, I want an element of a record to link to another from a different page. See attached image, circled is the element I want to pop up automatically when I input the “account” in the original record. Right now I have to manually add it. 

Hello community,From my understanding, Airtable’s native scatter plot doesn’t allow you to plot individual data points. It only allows you to plot an aggregation for each x-value. Therefore, it also won’t allow you to associate a plot point with an individual data record. I know there’s a way so that the user can click a plot point and see the records associated with the point but what I want is for each plot point to have a label beside it (the name of the record).Here’s what else I’ve tried so far:Softr.io - but I encountered the same problem (it only allowed me to plot aggregates) quickchart.io - it works! but it doesn’t have that clean, professional feelSo, what’s the best way in your opinion to create a scatter plot with Airtable data?Here’s a summary of my requirements and goals:Must be accessible in the Interface Must have data labels for individual records Would

About revision history… Is it possible to export the data of revision history? not even over the API? With user accessing to over the portal, without base access, is the revision history working too? does it record who (name or email) is adding/changing this or that?Thanks

Hola, tengo una una tabla con 2 hojas que alimento desde un formularioAhora necesito hacer una vista KABAN que me salgan todos los registros de cada hoja, pero no lo consigo, me hace agruparlos por un campo Que estoy haciendo mal

I created an interface designer page of the type “list” and it show perfectly  on the desktop client. In this list there is only 1 field (= primary key field), about 30 characters wide. But on my iPhone, the field gets truncated, showing only the first 25 of it, following by 3 little points (...), although there is a lot more space ( I estimate around twice as much). Is there something I can do to prevent this truncation  ? Or is this a standard behavior of the mobile interface designer ?

Hi everyone, I’ve searched the community but only found some older threads on this topic, so I wanted to bring it up again. Are there tricks/workarounds that do not including setting up rules within mail-inboxes to just delete the notifications? Right now, I can follow or unfollow comment threads manually, but it’s tedious to manage this every time. I’d really love the option to set a default notification preference—specifically, to only be notified when I’m mentioned. Having a global setting like “Notify only when mentioned” would make the interface much more manageable, especially in bases with a lot of activity.

I have a table, Calls, that will soon have lots of records and lots of data.  I would like to provide the user with a simple interface to add a new call.  Each call contains linked records to other tables -- e.g. “Liturgical Date,” “Prelude,” etc.I would like the user to be able to select from a list of existing linked records , or to enter information for a new record for that field if it doesn’t already exist.It’s very straightforward how to allow the user to select an existing linked record.  However, I can’t figure out if there’s a way to let them add a new one on the fly. Does this exist?  I’m really hoping so, since if not, the data entry will be very tedious at first, if the user has to go to one interface to input all the liturgical dates and music, and then to another one to select them.Thank you!

I want to create a dashboard that will combine data from tables that are in two different bases. I know that an interface can only pull from one base, so is there a way for me to create a synced view that will pull data from both bases into one table and then i will create a dashboard that will combine them? what is the best way to do this?

I made a interface and it shows peoples full name. When I do a filter by full name it shows zero results. Is this a bug? So my goal here is to be able to report on certain users and the issues they encounter. So is there a different way to filter by users name?  

Hello, I used the PM Template as a guide to build out a PM base and interface, copying all data exactly as shown. The only issue I'm having is that when you select Assignee, only the first pie chart updates to reflect the Assignee selected. The rest of the widgets do not update. I have both open (the template, and my version) and when I toggle an owner in the Template, those widgets update, but mine does not, Again, I copied everything exactly as shown in the Template so this really shouldn't be happening. Any ideas?

I’m trying to move a tool my organization uses from excel to airtable.Previously, we would update a data sheet in excel with components, and their individual unit costs. On another sheet, someone could enter the component name (ie, “widget”) and they’d excel would calculate the average cost of that component across the data set OR let someone know it’s not a component we’ve ever used. I’m okay with the “widget” query also returning results that include widget, such as “long widget.”Is there a good way to do this in Airtable? Am I wrong to think an interface is the best bet?

Hello!Does anyone know why I can’t simply download a file from my interface? I have an audio file and can’t locate a button to download the file to my local device. It feels like this should be simple - am I missing something?Can’t locate a download button for an interface attachment fileThanks!

Hello Everyone,I have observed that a limited number of my dropdown fields in the interface designer allow for the enabling or disabling of adding new options; currently, only about 40% have this feature enabled. How can I enable the feature to be available on all remaining dropdown fields?

I am having an issue where I have a table that calculates a sum Total. I figured I could easily just show a user’s name + total on the interface but it seems very hard for some reason.Right now, I get the sum with a user’s name, but it then adds all of these columns for each unique sum there is within the data set.Example Image: And here is what the data l​​​​​ooks likeSo I am just trying to make a table on the interface (as we will share that view) that simply shows Name + Total.I have a bar chart showing this, which kind of works, but just having 2 columns with plain text would be nice too in the interface.Thank you!

according to the What's New page found at https://www.airtable.com/whatsnew , it says that Interface Charts now support Multiseries and dual y-axis charts and it includes pictures.I don't see these anywhere in the Interface Charts interfaces?  Where are these charts and how do you access them to add to an interface?Much appreciated!

Hi!I used to embed a regular gallery view in my WordPress web site but I did not like how the title of each card (primary field) where always cut off. I tried creating an interface design of the same gallery, embed it, and I really liked the result. Titles were visualized in its complete form and the whole thing looked better and cleaner.The thing is that for some reason, the mobile version of the embed gallery interface came out grayed with a message saying "viewport too small to display the gallery element". I checked out the embed code and it was basically the same for both for the regular gallery view and the gallery interface. Nontheless, the regular gallery view showed in the mobile version of the website and the gallery interface not. If anyone has an idea or suggestion on what is causing this and how to solve it I'd appreaciate it.  The iFrame code:<iframe class="airtable-embed" src="https://airtable.com/embed/appPRfMipHQg

What is the best way to show subtasks in the timeline view?I use Airtable to manage projects. Currently they don’t show any kind of relationship and often end up moving across the page because of the default time sort. Ideally they’d group together from the parent. All of the tasks are in one table, labelled either task or subtask, and the subtasks are in a connected to the parent in a linked field.

Hey guys,I have someone on my team getting a weird issue when trying to open a record detail in an interface. It's a timeline view interface where users can click into the record to view fields including a linked field to the project that when click opens a record detail of the whole project. The issue we are having is that when a person tries to open the project record detail they get the error "This record was hidden. The record might have been edited or your access might have changed."   They have full editor permission on the interface page and I can't find any other filters on the record detail page that might be causing this issue. I am also unable to replicate this bug on my end even when viewing as the user. Has anyone run into this bug before? Does anyone know why my user is unable to open the proj

It would be great if we could, in my case, get the elements smaller than what’s possible today. Eg, the “number” element: I can only get 4 in a row and it takes to much space in their smallest form. Being able to use the full width of the page (like eg you can do with a “gridd” element) and being able to get it smaller, would maybe result in a row of 10 (?) “number” elements. User case: displaying an interface on a tv screen in clients workplace.

I can't move left or right within the rows using the keyboard arrow keys in the "interface". I've been experiencing this issue since yesterday. Also, I'm unable to copy the data within the rows using Ctrl+C.

Hi,I am reading this article by Airtable https://blog.airtable.com/interface-designer-permissions/ and where it talks about the use case for building a HR base so managers can see their team, people can see their own records etc. I don't know how to make this work in Airtable. Does anyone have any experience of doing this. I am on pro plan."For example, let’s say your HR department wants to create an app for performance reviews and calibrations. Only managers should be able to access their team’s reviews, while individual employees will still need access to their own review.  Instead of creating multiple bases, share views, or interfaces, you can create a single interface with a few filters." 

Hello, these are two screenshots, one from a web browser and the second from the mobile app. The problem is that there is a missing “Add order” on the mobile app.   

I have an interface for managing tasks with two pages. On the first page, I am using grouping and sorting, which works as intended… For the second page, I had tried to duplicate this same grouping and sorting… When I click away to the previous page, or when I publish the interface however, the sorting is preserved but not the grouping… How can I fix this issue so the interface preserves this grouping when after publishing?Thank you in advance!
