Interface Designer

EDIT: The issue has now fixed itself. The popup looks back to normal now. In the Interface Designer, when clicking "Share" on a Page, there is no longer an option to share the page publicly. As such, there is also no longer an option to UNSHARE a page that was already made public.What happened here? Is this a bug?This is what the Share tab looks like as of today. And this is what it's supposed to look like: https://community.airtable.com/t5/announcements/new-share-public-interface-pages-publicly/ba-p/189617 

Dear allCould somebody tell me how to extend the height of row header in Airtable.Thanks alot

Hi everyone,I'm pretty basic with Airtable, but have been using it for years.I have created this base with an interface that explores the New Zealand Maths curriculum. I now have a resources page, which is fed by a form so that teachers can submit resources to support areas of the curriculum. What I am wanting is a way to show specific resources based on the current record that they are looking at on the MATHS interface page, ie, filter the resources page to match what the current user is looking at.Can I add a button to do this, or include the filtered resources in the actual math record? I don't want to individually have to do this for each record, some way of doing it globally/dynamic would be great.

I've shared a Read-Only link to an interface with a coworker but when he tries to access the interface he gets a message that says "Unable to request access to interface". He tried deleting his account and recreating it, but he's still getting the same message. I can't see any reason why he wouldn't have access. I even got an email about the $10 credit I received when he joined. Why can't he access the interface? I'm on the Team plan, in case that matters. I've got roughly 18 collaborators, most of whom are read-only. Thanks,Kelsey

Hi,I'm new to AirTable and trying to work out if this is possible. I'm creating a form to collect data on various buildings and the facilities they have within them. I've got a starting list of facilities that I'm going to use a multi-select list for, with a checkbox option for other. If "Other" is checked I'll then show a single line text field for the data collector to add another item. However, there could be many items to add. Is it possible to keep adding single line fields on an ad-hoc basis.For example in my basic list I have:PrintersWifiWater fountainThe data collector finds that building A also has:Disabled accessScannersComputer labCaféThese 4 extra items also need to be added during the data collection and so would need 4 new text inputs to be added. Is it possible for the user to dynamically add text inputs to a form?

I find that when using the Sidesheet option, it's really easy to miss when a colleague has made a comment on a record. The design is only very subtly different when there is a comment vs. when there are none, and by default the comments are collapsed. One simple solution would be to make the comments section non-collapsible, or at least default it to being open. Is there a setting for this that I've missed?

I have a form to create tasks, and it asks the user to select a 'project' to link the task to via a record picker.There are a lot of projects, and they are duplicated for different clients, meaning when they use the form, and search for the name of the project we get duplicate results with no way of knowing which record is the correct one.Is there a way to pull in more information into the 'record picker' view, eg) name of client, etc? 

I have an interface that has been made to show lists of all of the Purchase Orders, Purchase Order Items, and Invoices from clients. (Purchase Orders is a table, Purchase Order Items is a table, and Invoices is a table. Each of these tables uses the client's number as part of the name of the record.)Right now, the only solution I have to show everything for a client is to enter their client number into three separate filter elements. (Each filter element is connected to a list in the interface - a list of Purchase Orders, a list of Purchase Order Items, and a list of Invoices.) The filters all work with the same search term because of the client's number being used in the name of the records in the three tables.Is there a way to somehow tie these together so that I can enter just one piece of information in an interface and have it display results from three different tables?

hi everyone, I have created a form with the new form designer in interfaces. When I share the link to it, it shows an Airtable image and title, which may discourage the audience from actually opening the link in the first place...Is there a way to edit/change the cover image and title that are displayed when the form link is shared? thank you

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 error as there are just too many to search through and th

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 that the data is set to "Sort" by "None"... so I think I "turned o

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 sure... 

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 is what I want, but I get it other way around and cant seem to change it: 2024-10     

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!ML Screenshot #1: Applicants TableScreenshot #2 - Appointments Table

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.
