Interface Designer

I run a workshop / class business.When a customer books a class I need to manually link the customer to their class looking for the correct class title and date (there are multiple dates to choose from for each class).HOWEVER ... after having airtable for a year now (created for me so I'm still a relatively new user) I have accumulated 100s and 100s of classes and although I can type in the search bar the name of the class to narrow down the number of classes to search through (to find the correct date) there are still far too many and its never in date order either. Annoyingly classes dating back to 2023 will still appear in my search which I would love to omit from my search. Can anyone help? I can't delete the classes from my bases because I need the data. So how do I make it so that when I need to link the class (record) all I see are the dates "from today" or at least just from 2024?It's getting easier and easier to make an

I made a task manager with the new interface designer. Basically a record list from a “tasks table”. It is indeed way more interesting to look at the rows of that table displayed as an interface. Unfortunately, I’m afraid my team will be unable to look at their notifications from that view. If they go back to bases (enabling them to look at notifications again) and open a notification, it will open a regular airtable card, which could be confusing for some people. I wonder if there’s a widget to put notifications in the interface, or maybe just the notifications regarding the table behind that particular interface. So when someone is mentioned in a row and that person opens the notification, it just refreshes the interface with the new row (displayed as an interface). Thanks for this update, really appreciated.

Hello,I am attempting to use Airtable's Kanban board in Interface Designer to replace Trello. It's been going really well overall, however, I just realized that Airtable is not letting me change the order of cards in each column. Whenever I drag-and-drop cards up-or-down in the column, they just go right back to the exact same place and order that they were in before without any change. Does anybody know how I can update my Kanban Interface so that I can change the order of my cards within each column? This wasn't an issue until my lists of cards required a scroll bar.There's not a clear logic to the order the cards are in, however, it appears they might be displayed in the order that the record was created. If so, it would be surprising to me because Record Creation Date isn't a column I'm keeping track of, so I don't know why Airtable would sort by that.I added a screenshot from the Interface Designer settings showing

Hello,I'm experiencing a bug with some of my clients using Airtable on Android tablets. They need to update a "long text field," but they can't type in the field, even though it's configured as editable in the interface designer. It works fine on iPhones and Android phones, and everything else in the interface functions correctly, except for the long text field on Android tablets.Do you have any idea what might be causing this issue? 

Hello, everyone,We have already added one List page at interface designer.  Under the "User actions" section, we set the "Click into record details" and create one new Layout.   We set the field from "View" to "Edit". Now we can click the list row to slide new edit page, but we can't find the required field validation in edit mode.Is there any other approach to add the "required field" validation in edit mode?  You can find the the capture of record detail at interface page. Thanks very much !   

 In an interface, I have a form to add diligences. And inside i have a field to choose the author from a limited view but when we want to choose the author there is no item to choose. It was always working until today I have the same trouble in other forms since today.Is that a bug?

Hi all!I have a list interface and I use two tabs all and focus. I know that a tab is essentially a predefined filter. But on top of the filter I want to have predefined ordering as well, e.g. the tab all ordered alphabetically and the tab focus by creation date. How can this be done?Many thanks for suggestions and comments! 

Hi,How can I change the order of the appearance for a field's records on an interface page?The field shows a linked table's records for a contact (calls made), and I'm using show as = 'Field' and style = 'Cards'. Here's a picture of it:I want the newest to show above the older ones, adding to the older ones when entering new records.I had this working already, and can't remember how I did it. After a sudden change yesterday (don't know what happened, all of the sudden the field's appearance changed completely), I can't get it back 😢.Rgds,BjörnPS. Is there a way not to show the record's primary field in the listing? There's is too much information, it clutters the UI. I'd like to select myself what to show there. Thought I had this also working before the sudden change, but of course I have no screen shots aved so I'm not

I built a dashboard on an Airtable interface, but I feel constrained in several instances because of the relatively low visualization capabilities of Airtable built-in interface. For example, I can't have the Map extension be displayed on my dashboard.So I'd like to explore other options. What would the go-to tool you'd recommend for data visualization?

Hi, I have an interface where I want to sort produced goods that i´ve grouped several times. First group is "production month" and second group is "production day" and then they are sorted by the hour. In default, the groups are sorted from oldest to newest and I can´t seem to reverse this with the "sort" option in edit mode. An example: Produced goods:2024-09-10 10:00 and 12:002024-09-10 15:00 and 17:002024-10-20 11:00 and 14:002024-10-30 16:00 and 18:00I want to be able to group them firstly by month, so I can display one month at a time in the list on the left. Then I want to group them by day, so I can display one day at a time in that month. Lastly I want the records to be sorted from newest to oldest in that day. These things I have achieved. What I cant do is to sort the months and the days in order of newest to oldest. This

Hello,Bottom Line Up Front: I would like to know, how can I use my table's Primary Key as a Single Select / Drop Down Menu option in an Airtable Forms question. Backstory:I am creating a "Sign Up Form" in Airtable to allow Applicants to schedule themselves for my available appointments in the Appointments table. In order to link their Applicant Table (screenshot #1) record with their Appointment Table (screenshot #2) record, I'm planning to:1) List the Appointments (Primary Key from the Appointment Table) as a Drop Down Menu in the form so they can select 1 to schedule. 2) Have the Application # included on the Form, and prefilled through the unique form URL I give them, which will enter their Application # in that field on the form automatically. This will help link their Appointment with their Application.How can I do this???TIA!

Hi guys!I am running into the issue of in the List view page the top level table does not show the option to add a new record to that table/type. Example I have a schedule table and a task table. The tasks are under schedule, and schedule is the main source. Once I make a schedule it does give me the option to ake a new schedule record, only new tasks. Is this a bug? Or is there a way to fix this?  Thanks

I have noticed that when creating an Interface, if you chose the "Record Review" template for your interface, you can opt to show the Record Revision History on the interface (screenshot of the setting attached).I have a use case where I need to display this information on a Interface that I created from scratch. Can this be done? If yes, how?  

Hello, I'm using the list view in interface designer for a project management tool, which is really good. However, when I am trying to use the nested hierarchy, I can't create a second and third hierarchy level. I want to stress that I am using the NESTED hierarchy, i. e. the hierarchy using a child task column.Can you please fix this bug, so that we can create more NESTED hierarchy levels? This is a basic feature in project management tools like Todoist or Clickup. Thank youRegards,Chris

Hello everyone,We are using an Airtable base with two accounts: an administrator account and a team account. Until yesterday, everyone had access only to the “data” page, but I recently switched the team account to an interface that I created.However, we have encountered a major issue: when we modify information in a record, these changes also appear in other records. This problem seems to only be visible on the interface, not in the database itself, which leads us to believe it's a display issue. So far, it seems that this problem only affects certain records linked by the same person responsible for the record.Has anyone ever encountered this kind of situation? Please note that several people are using the interface through the same account.Thank you in advance for your help!

Hey all,Am I going crazy, or did the Overview interface page get changed and now it's all left-aligned? The bookmarks, titles, and side panel all used to be center-aligned, and there's no setting (unless I'm blind) to change it.

Hi everyone! I'm posting to ask if there's a way to do a search within an interface page that features a list view. thanks,Megan

I've watched several videos, and read the documentation. They all say to append "?prefill_MemberID=12345" to the end of the URL for my form. But I'm trying to use the new interfaces, and I'm pretty sure this does not work. I've verified it works in the old forms. But when I 'upgrade' my form to the new interface designer, it stops working. 

I have a database with two tables connected in a one-to-many schema. I built an interface with two pages, and I would like to link them using filters so that when the user clicks a button in the parent page, the child interface page with childrens data opens, filtered by the selected parent. Is there a way to implement this natively or through a URL?

Hello,I'm experiencing a bug with a list-type interface that I created for one of our clients. This interface allows them to validate product deliveries. To send the necessary information to the relevant people, I set up an automation linked to a button within this interface.iPhone users are able to send the information without any issues. However, on Android, if the user is only invited to the interface and not to the base itself, the automation does not trigger. Please see the attached photo for reference.

Hello Airtable Community!I'm exploring the possibility of building an auction system using Airtable and I'm hoping to get some insights on its feasibility. Here's what I'm looking to create:Use Case:An auction system featuring 6 items, each represented by an imageAbility for users to place bids on these itemsA way to recognize and identify users for subsequent bidsReal-time (or near real-time) updates of bid prices as new bids come inCurrent Plan:I'm considering using Airtable as the backbone of this system, potentially with Airtable Interfaces for the front-end. Here's my proposed structure:An "Items" table with fields for item details, current highest bid, and auction end timeA "Bids" table linked to the Items table, recording each bidViews to display active auctions, ended auctions, and bids by itemAn interface with pages

Hello,I'm using the Map & Data Validator extensions, which allow me to view and validate my fields respectively. I'm also developing an interface so that I can share the application without users having to use the database directly, and so that I don't have to show all the records.My first question is: Is it possible to include the map extension display in my interface? If so, how? I've seen on other forums that this wasn't possible, but perhaps a feature for this has now been added?My second question is about the Data Validator extension, which only validates data when it's added from the record creator form available from the extension window. Is it possible, for example, to validate data entered from forms in my interface?

Hi guys. I have a workspace through which we manage our business, an academy. I have just two users, one for the owners and creators, and another for the teachers. Our problem is that we need the teachers to access to some bases and some interfaces of the main data base, but no to all the administration and managers info, and till now i havent found a way to restrain the access just to the bases and interfaces that they need. Is there anyway to manage the permissions or block access through passwords???? Thanks a lot for your time. 

I am very excited about this new Public Interface option and want to share an interface with a client through an embedded code in an outside website. But I am having trouble because I have an Interface with Linked Records and when I select one of the linked records I get a spinning circle in the field box for the linked record. I am assuming this is a viewing permissions issue because I have no trouble seeing the linked record when I am working inside Airtable. The linked record is connected to the "Contact Table" and that is also has shared public permissions in the Interface. What else can I do to make these linked records also viewable?

I would like to be able to select data from a list of choices on softr. However, by linking the dropdown option to a linked data column on airtable, the data of another user also appears and I would like to avoid it. So I tried to use dynamic filters, but it does not work.  AS
