Interface Designer

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!

Is there a way in interface designer to make a GRID VIEW that is GROUPED have certain fields that are auto collapsed? USE CASE: I have all my tasks grouped by Complete vs Incomplete, Then by “responsible party”. every time I open my project, I see ALL TASKS. I want to have access to quickly view what is completed which is why I don’t filter it out altogether. But I want it to show up with the completed tasks group being collapsed as a default.

I’m trying to rollup a text field within an AT interface. I’ve created a Lookup field which is correctly showing duplicate results. However, I want to rollup the duplicates so the result only shows once.Results of my look up are the following:Transactions Policy PolicyThe two “Policy” records are identical and I’d like to roll those up. I’ve tried the rollup up functions, but they seem to only work on values rather than text. 

Did AirTable remove the ability to use forms on interfaces on mobile devices? We were previously able to submit forms on the mobile interface, but now we get the pop-up message that the page is not supported on mobile. Can we get this feature back?

Hello,Quick question: when I use a record picker in an Interface, why can I create a new linked record… but not pick an existing one?It is called a “picker”, right? 😅Context: I’m building a CRM to manage photography projects. A project can have multiple venues. I’ve got a field linking to my “Venues” table, and yes — the field allows multiple links.But in the Interface: I can only select one item at a time, I can’t pick multiple existing venues, But weirdly, I can create a new venue every time. Which… leads to dozens of duplicates, breaks the logic of relational design, and honestly makes me want to go back to Google Sheets and sticky notes.You used to have this working (RIP Record Lists and side panels). It was beautiful. It made sense.Now,

I am hoping to use a cutdown “form” or interface designer method to enable stocktakes of our database items via mobile phone and the airtable app. I have created an interface with a barcode field to be used as a key to all the items and an associated display of the fields for each record that can be changed - location, number of items etc. As others have mentioned I was surprised ot see that sharing the interface also shares the entire base but this doesn’t worry me as its only for internal use. When I look at the barcode field for the base/table on the phone app, I can see the camera/scan option and can scan in a barcode. But when I launch the interface and see the barcode field, I can’t see a camera option. If I select the barcode field it just shows a screen keyboard and I can’t see how to enable the camera. I want to use the camera/barcode to find the item in a record list then manually enter the associated data. Also there doesn’t see to be a way to access the interface fro

I set up an interface for reviewing and managing customer credit limits and I can’t figure out how to set a field to display with the numbers right-aligned.It would look so much better and be more readable with the currency values right-aligned the way they should be! 

We have embedded an iframe with an Airtable Interface into our Website. The problem is that the content of the iframe is not updating in realtime once i change data inside Airtable which SHOULD reflect in an immediate change of the iframe (Interface) contents. The content in the Airtable Interface however is updated immediately - only the website embedded iframe is still showing old content.How can i make the content inside the iframe update immediately?

I have a record picker on Page 1. I also have a search button, which has an action set to ‘go to interface page’. This point to Page 2. On Page 2, what I’m trying to achieve is a record summary of the record picked on Page 1. Could someone advise if this is possible? If possible, please explain how. Thank you in advance.

Hi all - I’ve got a calendar interface that shows my warehouses their upcoming schedule. It displays three different event types. Problem is, while all the events appear normally on the web app, only one type of event is showing on the phone app. I’ve double checked all the interface settings, filters, date fields, etc, and everything is correct. Why would certain events appear differently between desktop and phone? Here’s the same month view on desktop vs phone - note the 5/25 & 5/26 FMSC Closed events appearing on both. 

Are there ways to export on-screen data for the applicable record or child records to a PDF or XLSX from interface designer? I'm aware of the page builder extension in the base, and the download to csv option in the base view screen - but I want my users to stay in interfaces. I'd like to be able to add a button up top that says "Export to XLSX" on a project plan and have an XLSX or CSV document be spawned for download from the interfaces screen. Alternatively it could be emailed or pushed to cloud storage.Is there a way to do this natively? Or only with 3rd party integrations?

 I need help in displaying number of characters entered, and number of characters left in text fields in forms. Something like this:The number of characters remaining should get dynamically updated as the user types/deletes the characters.

I have 2 forms that a customer fills out - 1 is info about the company, which populates on the company table. The second is for the employees table and it collects info about each employee that works at the company. I currently have the form set up to collect the company info first, then they click “continue” and it redirects to the employee form. They then have the ability to fill out the employee form as many times as needed. I tried using a pre-filled link for this button to auto fill in the company name on the employee table linking the two, but that does not work. Should I be using an automation? Is there any solution for this that does not include using a 3rd app?Any ideas for linking the records is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

Can anyone give me a definitive answer to this question?I have a list Interface with 3 levels of heirarchy - Apiary, Hive, InspectionThis is for beekeeping. An apiary is a collection of Hives and Hives are inspected frequently.On desktop in a browser (Safari) I can click into the Apiary Details and scroll down to the list of Hives and add a new one.Still on desktop, when I expand the Apiary the interface shows its Hives as expected with an ‘+Add Record’ (why can’t I call them Hives?) button, and when I expand a Hive I can see the inspections as expected and at the bottom of the list of inspections is a ‘+ Add Inspection’. All good. Makes sense.But none of those things are available in mobile (iOS 18.3.2, iPhone 12 Pro)I can open an item at any level and edit that item but I can’t add new hives or inspecti

Hi all,I have a list layout in Interface which allows users to click into records.  In the page which loads, I have a list block which shows a list of players who have played a game.  I have it set up to allow users to add new players to that list.  It works as expected on desktop, but not on the mobile Interface.  On mobile any existing players are visible, but there's no button to add a new player to the list.Is this a feature that just hasn't come out yet or am I missing something super obvious lol?  TIA!

Hey all,I would like to update the access for some base collaborators who currently have full access to base & Interface to Interface-only access (these users were already shared as collaborators before it was possible to share an Interface without giving access to the base).In this case, does anyone know if I have to entirely delete these users from the base and then re-share them as Interface-only contributors (with the 'Allow access to data in the base' unchecked upon share)?Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to export an interface, configured as a "List" view to an excel file?  I understand this gets complicated as many users have groups set within their list view.  I'd imagine that this would work though, if groups are placed into different tabs/pages on the excel file.   Unfortunately, "Print this Page" isn't a great solution to export data.  Additionally, i've noticed that it formats very strange and is rendered useless.  I'd like to also note, that the interface is the only employee facing option.  Employees don't have access to the base.  Only the interface.  Thanks!

Hello Community,since this morning our teammembers, who only have access to our interfaces, are not able to run Airtable automations through buttons anymore. The buttons are greyed out and they get a warning saying "Not connected to an automation".However, when logged in through our administrator account (with full data access) the buttons and Airtable automations work as intended.We did not make any changes to the interface, database structure or fields, automations, or the users permissions and capabilities. No changes to anything recently. Overnight things just stopped working.Yesterday everything was working fine, today no automation can be triggered through a button unless it is the administrator account with full access to the data. What happened? What could that be?We need URGENT help here. 🙄
