Interface Designer

For my interface I want a grid view meant for people within my organization with all the fields visible and I want another view of said interface meant for external organizations that only show some of the fields.How do i go about this?

We manage a vehicle fleet and to make it easy for non-technical staff to add vehicles, I have created simplified interface forms with just the necessary fields (and some optional ones). This is great for adding one at a time, however often we will be adding multiple of the same vehicle. being comfortable with large sets of data myself, it's easy enough to just duplicate the record mulitple times in a grid view, however for users not comfortable with a grid view, is there a way for me to add a dropdown or number field or something to my interface form that will create a number of duplicates equal to the number provided in the dropdown/number field? Or is there another simple way to generate duplicate records? Thanks for any help in advance!

Hi! We've created a base with a tab for each project (e.g., Project 1, Project 2, etc.), and within each project, we need to view (in the interface) the payments made, sorted by year. To manage this, we've created a column for each year within the base. However, this setup makes all years visible across all projects, which is not ideal since each project has a different timeline. For example, if Project 1 runs from 2022 to 2025, I would want to see only those years on that project's page, and not years that apply to other projects (like a project spanning 2008 to 2025).In the interfaces, we have different tabs for different projects (e.g., charity projects), but currently, we don't have the option to filter the years so that only relevant years show on each project’s page. Is there a way to display different years per project within the interface, rather than having all the same years appear across all pages?Thank you! 

Hi there,I built a custom CRM on Airtable for a client. But I end up with a lot of pages on the interface. So to organize them, my usual habit is to break up the initial single interface into standalone interfaces. One for each category. Like here:But in my client's case, this design choice wouldn't make a lot of sense since a. only one single team will use the interface, b. all the pages refer to the same category (CRM), c. they want something that's as simple to use as possible.So for now, here's the solution I found to sort out the multiples pages. I created blank pages and used them as dividers between sub-groups of pages and renamed those pages '–––'.Have you guys found any other creative workaround for this need?Thank you.&nb

Hi!I just created a form using the newer form builder for the staff to use to submit expense reports, reimbursement requests, etc. All staff have editor permission on our "Expenses" base, where the form populates to. When the staff opens the form, there are buttons along the top of the form that allows them to navigate home, edit the form, or view the data (see picture attached).Is it possible to remove these buttons without changing the staff permission levels? They still need to have editor-level permissions so they can engage with the base in other contexts, but I don't want people to be able to easily or unintentionally change the form or edit the data.

Hi!Really need help, tech support didn't help me.When I click "create record" and want to enter data that I don't have in another table, I want to see a button to create a new record, but I don't have it and I don't know how to make it.I think you will understand everything when you see the two screenshots below.In the "base" mode, the button to create a record is there and when the record is already created, the button is there too.

Hello everyone, I have been greatly enjoying Interfaces, what a wonderful tool, thank you ! However, I don’t understand if and how I can delete a record from inside an interface. For example, I have an interface that is a record list. Above that record list I put a button/link to a form associated with the table from the record list, so that I can create new records. But I don’t understand how I could delete records from inside the interface. For now, I’m going back to my base with grid view, I have to find the record, right click and delete. Not the most efficient. Is is possible to delete a record from inside an interface? If not, did any of you find a decent workaround? Thank you, Ray

Is there currently a way to change the order of forms in the "Form" section of an Airtable Base? Similar to how you can move and group views, automations, and interfaces in their respective sections. Currently it appears that forms are just listed in the order of creation with no ability to group or reorder for ease of viewing on the back end.

The map app works when I am working at table level.When using share or Interface, changes to the Filter do not update the map.Suggestions?

Hi guys, We're building an internal app on Airtable. We would like to know whether we could white-label the app, namely can we change the domain name used in the app URL? Thanks.

It would be nice if you could make an item on a calendar appear taller/larger like how you can with rows in a grid. Is there already a way to do this?Example below, would be more readable if the items were larger especially if toggled in the week or day settings 

I've created an interface for my team that displays a Gallery of active projects from our Projects table.  I want them to add/remove projects from that interface without having to go the the data.  The option to "Allow users to add/delete records inline" sounds great, except for:The popup looks like a form, but there is no submit and the new record is already created.  Confusing.Where do I go to delete the record?The pop-up only shows the fields I chose to display in the Gallery, I really want all fields.  Otherwise, the user has to create a new record with a few fields and then re-edit it to see all of the fields.I've hacked my way around #2 by adding a Button to the detail page that deletes the record.  Not great, but OK.My hack for #1 and #3 is to replace the option with another button that has a hard link to a Form I created.  That form then has a hard link to redirect back to the interface after wai

I can't seem to get labels to appear on my scatter plot even when hovering over the points. I am trying to plot leaf length and head weight for varieties, I'd like to be able to label the points with what variety they represent.

Hi guys, I'm building a CRM on Airtable. That CRM has a form to add new contacts. This form boasts 2 linked record fields: a `Contacts` field and a `Main Contact` field. I would like the `Main Contact` field to be dynamically filtered so that it displays only the contacts that were previously added by the user in the `Contacts` field. I've been trying to get this, but with no luck. I don't think that's possible as of yet in Airtable. Do you confirm this? I know I could execute this with Fillout, but I'm trying to stay within Airtable as much as possible.Thanks.  

Hello all, I created a form, and one of the field values needs to be "1" as the default value. However, I need that hidden so that when someone goes to submit data, they don't have to fill that field in as "1".Now this is what I have:I tried hiding this field from the form options listed, but when I go to submit this form - it doesn't display a "1" in the field value on the table view. I also tried this method on the table view:When I go to create a record on the table view - it does default the value to "1", but on form submission - it does not. Any idea what it is that I'm doing wrong?Thanks. 

Hello all!I’m working with an interface in Airtable where each record has a side panel that opens when I click on it, showing more information related to that record. When I click the link button at the top-right corner of the panel, I get a unique URL that directs me to that record with the side panel already opened, were I to paste it into a new window or share with a colleague.For example, each record has a unique detail parameter in the URL that seems to encode both the record ID and other information. I’ve tried creating a formula to dynamically generate these URLs based on the RECORD_ID(), but I can't figure out how to replicate the exact structure of the detail parameter that opens the side panel view for each record. I've used AI to try and help, but the best solution proposed so far is manually entering each URL into the field.... Not happening. My goal is to create a button (or use a formula) that I can put in another interface page, using the

Hi there,we want to use Airtable Interfaces on Android phones in our field operations. The main challenge I'm encountering:When making edits to a barcode field (scanning a barcode or typing something), these edits seem to exist on the local phone only. They show on that phone in different Interface-views. However, the edits cannot be seen on a different device and are gone when the app is closed and re-opened. Hence, I believe the edits to a barcode-field on Interfaces on Android are never uploaded to the base. We've tried this on different Android-devices and always encounter this problem.Any recommendations on how to solve this would be much appreciated!

Is there ANY possible way to add color to the "Number" field inside the interface?I would love to change this dynamically; if positive green, when negative red. I have a bunch of these numbers on my interface that I'd like to track, and having this basic functionality would help to draw attention 

Hi there, I'm using the list view in interface designer as a project management tool. When I am trying to drag a line/task to another position, this doesn't work. I want this to work as in Todoist, Microsoft To do or Clickup (in Todoist it works best). I want to manually sort tasks in list view and also drag them to different tasks as subtasks.In my underlying grid view table, each record presents a task / subtask. In this table, I use a child task column for the nested hierarchy in list view.Can you please adjust this, so we can use Airtable like Todoist, Microsoft To do or Clickup?Regards,Chris

Hi there,On this interface page, I have 2 progress bars: one visualizing the percentage of people who said 'yes' on a topic and the other one for 'no'.But instead, I'd like to get a stacked bar chart that combines the two figures into one single visualization object (like in the example below).I don't think that's possible as of now on Airtable, at least not on a List-type page. Do you guys confirm?Thanks for your help.

Hi there,We're building a decision-making helper tool on Airtable to reduce the number of meetings at work. For each topic that requires discussion, we intend to have people use a dedicated Airtable interface. On it, someone creates the topic to be discussed and then assigns the relevant participants to it. Later on, the assigned participants weigh in on the topic.The screenshot below displays a list of the decisions to be discussed and of the positions taken by people. Hierarchy on this page is turned on, with topics being on Level 2 and positions on Level 1.As of now, new topics can be created with a short form that opens up when clicking a button, while positions can be created inline. But for the interface to be as simple to use as possible, we would like to make it possible for both decisions and positions to b

Looks like all of my interfaces that have timeline views have pulled in all 'preview' fields into the record label ... Seems at the moment there's a bug where they can't be seperate and it looks super messy Thanks!Ross

I saw the functionality below on a youtube video from earlier this year, and I'm wondering if there's anyway to implement it, without using the Project Management template? It looks like, from an assignee field dropdown, it gives you a before and after of that user's capacity if assigned to them.  Amazing!Sadly, we're rolling our capacity up to Team level, as we have too many people to use it at the User level, but would love to see if this functionality is accessible outside of the template.Also if anyone has an thoughts / ideas / implemented solutions for forecasting using the utilisation tool, I'm all ears!  At the moment, it seems there's no way to see how a project will affect overall business capacity without adding a full project loaded up with all tasks, etc.  I'd love a similar setup to the above where yo

Hi there!  I'm hoping someone can guide me to a tutorial or has some great design ideas:  I have a base that calendarizes a huge list of events across multiple departments.  I have an interface page set-up with a record picker that displays relevant events.  I would love for each department to be able to review the list periodically and either suggest edits to existing records, or request new ones be added.My reason for not having them directly edit the records is because I want to (a) be sure that I know about changes, (b) can resolve conflicts if different team members varied info (that happens!) and (c) am concerned about data integrity when many of our users aren't regular airtable users! Is the best solution here to just allow users to make edits directly & just create some level of automation/notification when edits are made?  Or; I had thought to just request users to make edit suggestions by adding a comment to the

Hi all, I'm very curious if this can be replicated on Airtable interfaces. From my experimentation, the filename of the image keeps coming up and I can't remove it. How do I develop this? Or is this just "non in-application screens"?
