Interface Designer

In a gallery view interface, each record has one pdf file attachment hosted in Airtable. Airtable has two "stock" buttons for downloading the file.1. How can I track how many times each file is downloaded using the "stock" download buttons?2. Can I see which users are downloading which files? 3. Can I track which gallery tiles are being clicked on?4. Can I track what the most popular search terms are?5. If Airtable cannot provide the tracking, can GA4?

I hope I'm not missing something but I'm trying to create a manual table to pull certain database numbers concisely. Basically mimic a grid of 7X4 but the numbers are huge making for unnecessary scrolling. Any advice would be appreciated or just a general sizing/formatting option beyond just colors.

HelloHow to Condense record view so more values are visible in the popup window (less scrolling down)? 

Hi,I have a table for faults and a table for handymen. Each fault can have multiple handymen assigned to it, and each handyman may receive a different payment—for example, one might charge $50 while another charges $100.Is it possible to create the same fault twice in the fault table to associate the fault with each handyman and thus set a different payment for each one?I tried creating another table that connects the faults table and the handymen table, and it worked wonderfully. This allowed me to associate all the handymen with the same fault and add a "payment" column so each handyman could receive a different payment. However, when using the INTERFACER, I faced a problem: I had to fill out a form in the faults table and then another form in the table that connects the faults to the handymen.How would you solve this problem? I want to fill out just one form. Is it acceptable to create the same fault twice in the faults table to associate i

Hi,In Airtable, I have a table of faults, a table of handymen, and a table that combines faults and handymen.I want to set it up so that through the INTERFACE, I can create a new RECORD in the table of faults. Using the LINK TO ANOTHER RECORD field, if the desired value doesn't exist, I want to be able to create the new value through the form in the table of faults.Is this possible?

Hi everyone, ready for a super stupid question?? ahhaI'm playing with interfaces and I have a question: " what is the difference between "invite by link" with read only and "share publicly"?  thank you very much! 

Sorry to ask this, Ive been around and around and around in circles with the help doco, the information in help doesnt match what I see in my paid business description and the AI bot doesnt have a clue . . if I try to log a support ticket the Airtable support bot crashes and says to reload the page (seven times now)I need to give access to a user to an interface, I dont care if they are a paid user or not, I dont mind paying for their access.I only want them to be able to see the interface and the many nested records within it. (it nests to 4 levels). I dont want them to have access to the home screen or the "back to home button" or to be able to stuff around with the data at all, I dont want them playing, going looking or saying "its airtable give me data" just please please please let me give them an interface to see what i want them to see.I am on a paid business account, the help files list all these different levels of access that apparently I c

Im looking for a tool that will connect with Airtable so that I can use the APi/Whatever to map in the contact sets we have, create cards and relatiponships with those contacts in our tables and show these on a high quality map publically.Im very used to doing this in a platform like Voxel (but that is WP based) and thats my fallback, but that is held back by WP. Im needing something that is super fast and SAAS based, that can publically connect and manage thousands of visits without falling over. Anyone using any good public tools? The mapping in the extensions are not on the same radar as this.

I have enabled viewing record details and customized the 'sub interface' however I now have 15 instances of this and have no idea how they appeared there, they all look identical except that the automation buttons don't work... is there somwhere I can view and delete all of these without having to go via the 'parent' interface?

On a dashboard interface, I have a pivot table that counts the number of times a parameter (e.g. the ticket price for the exhibition) was mentioned by visitors in their reviews and I have those counts be computed for each venue (see Attachment #1). I would like to have cells be color-coded depending on their value: shades of green for the Strengths pivot table, shades of red for the Weaknesses pivot table. Unless I'm mistaken, as yet it's not possible to get this visualization feature on Airtable. Would you have any workaround to suggest?Similarly, I'd like to get the same formatting on the table that's displayed on the PDF report that gets generated by Documint (see attachment #2). Any other PDF-generating tool to suggest that would allow me to get this color-coding? 

Dear all I have 3 tables.1. table is a list of construction sides.2. table is a list of for different services that we offer on those construction sides. Each record has the name of the service and the linked construction side. Here are all services of all construction sides listed3. table has one field where you can link to services from the second table and a 2. field where you can put the time it took to finish the specific service.This 3 Table should be populated through an Interface. Best would be a form. But i dont want the user to see all services of all construction sides in the menu for field 1 but allow him to filter for construction sides.Any Idea how to do this?I would be greatful for help!

Yesterday I was all of a sudden able to access interfaces from my ipad. This morning I saw an email confirming the feature. But when I went back in this morning the interfaces were gone. Can someone help here?

Hi all!I'm using an interface to create and update records and allowed to create a new record. My team has been using it for a while and love it, but suddenly the "submit" button disappeared and they can no longer create a record through this interface. It's showing as "deleted field" but it was never a field (it was the setting to allow for creation of the record) in the table and i didn't delete anything... I'm going crazy- how do i fix this? (see attached picture)

I have 3 tables - Gift Hamper, Products, BOM Gift hamper - has list of gift hamper ids/namesProducts - have list of productsIn BOM we assign products & quantity to Gift Hamper (one gift hamper can have multiple products)While linking a product in BOM, I would like to see some values from Product columns (eg stock available). I would like to do this in grid format & not add each row individually using form.How do I do so? 

Hey Hey, Would anyone happen to know if it's possible to embed a MathJax rendering into an airtable interface? The idea is that the rendered displays the text of math expressions or equations when that text is wrapped in $$ $$. 

Thanks in advance everyone - Tried searching but couldn't find anything recent/relevant Currently we are using email automations to conditionally send first articles to our customers to approve, which works - but I'd like a more elegant solution. In an ideal situation, once a record matches certain conditions, it sends a form (interface or other) pulling the image from our base, and the customer can use a check box / comment section to send approval back to us - and updates our records with the checkbox selected and or comments sent.Thanks again - If I missed anything in my search, another advanced thank you for pointing me in the right direction.                                                                   

Hi all,The Utilization function is pretty great for visualising workloads and capacity, but when adding in the 'Time Off' part of the tool, I'm struggling to get exactly what I'd like.My Capacity planner is a timeline view of tasks grouped by team with all team members' capacity rolled up to the team level. This is great as I can see an entire Team's capacity when adding in new jobs.  However when I assign time off into the 'Account for time off' section it just blocks out the entire team as PTO for those dates on the planner. I don't think it can just subtract member X's time off from the total team capacity. Does the Account for time off functionality only really work when you are viewing capacity at the Team member level?Any ideas much appreciated!

Hi there,My company has several different interfaces that have more or less the same table in them, just filtered by a different project name. In the past, users (editors on the interface but no database access) have been able to duplicate these records without problem.It seems like there has been a change with how Airtable now handles filters, access, and record duplication. Now, when the user duplicates the record, they get a permission error that tells them that they don't have access to that record. If a user with database permissions (e.g., db creator) duplicates it, there is no problem. It's almost like the filter is being applied before the duplication is complete.A couple other observations: this only happens if the field used for filtering is not included in the table itself. Again, historically this has not been an issue, and it has duplicated without problems. If I add the field not to the table but just as a grouping value, this also mitigates the pr

This would be really useful for transparency when dealing with large lists / dashboardsSimply pop up a list of what records are being counted. 

Hi! I'm not sure which location to post this in but hopefully someone can help out. I have an interface form which will be collecting question answers prior to a client call. During the call we then want to be able to access and comment on each answer individually as we get clarification from the client. We can obviously have a "notes" column but that would be for the whole record, whereas we need a notes section for each answer (so for each column in the table basically, and it would be incredibly clunky if there was one notes column added after each question column). We then want another 1 or 2 interfaces or tables (or whatever) which again pull in question answers plus our clarifying notes to put next to some other info on post-call actions.I'm new to interfaces for anything other than form creation, so I tried creating one from scratch which had a record selector at the top then all the answers down the left hand side, then I added a "text" element next to each - not real

My team's work involves tracking and acting on various publication editorial calendars. For example, if a publication is covering [topic x] in January, we like to be able to see that in a spreadsheet and act on it. Currently we collect hundreds of these kits and enter them into Google Sheets separated by month tabs for a full year for each publication. My question is whether an Airtable interface or forms could be set up to make that entry a little easier? Plus maybe make for a more pleasant viewing / sorting experience? I don't have much experience with Airtable interfaces and I couldn't find a similar solution when I searched around.Essential elements: -Ability to enter editorial calendars which include month and associated topic, deadlines associated with each month, and publication name. Ideally also the ability to link publications with specific clients to indicate relevance. Additionall

Hi awesome Airtable users, Recenlty came across an issue where existing button fields in Interface designer (legacy one) stopped recognizing existing automations in the Automations list. Doesn't recognize any. It was working fine until today morning. Has any come across the same issue? 

I'm really hoping this can be accomplished without needing to create yet another formula field, so I'll give details below and see where I get. 🙂I have fields for start and end dates and then a formula that calculates the duration between them, including when the end date is blank and then it just keeps counting from the start. I want to have a chart show this data on an interface, but I don't want every single value showing uniquely on the chart if possible.Instead, I'd like to have it group them into buckets for things like 0-30 Days, 31-90 days, 90+ days, but I can't see any way to do that intelligently within the interface. My fear is that I'm going to need a formula field that gathers this at the table level and then point the pie chart to that field instead of the duration field.Anyone have a suggestion for the best way to accomplish this kind

Earlier today, I deleted some value options from one of my single-select fields (Team Type) in one of my tables - I did not do anything else like delete the field, change its type, or change any field permissions. Now in the Interface builder, a Grid element linked to that table is grayed out with the error message "Field "Team Type" was changed and can no longer be selected". I have hidden and unhidden Team Type from the grid Fields list, and gone into Edit it and then Saved it without making further changes, but nothing I've tried is working. I made this change a while ago, so it is impossible to go back and literally undo the actual option deletion action I did, and the change is necessary for our data so I don't want to return the data to its previous state anyway. Does anyone know what is happening here and how I can restore my grid? Thank you for anything you can offer!

Hey there, I have a automation setup in a client database that is triggered by me changing the status and then sending a calculation to a customer with a link to a reference check interface form, because there are so many people who need their references checked with this form we need to put in the name of the candidate and the reference prefilled in the form. (due to privacy issues we cant have them searching up their name btw)I created a claculation that has the form link and then the url prefilled instructions for the names for the ref and candidate. It brings up the candidate most of the time but the reference not really, Im not sure if its because the reference is in a different table but Ive used the 'prefill_Reference%20Name=Reference Name' and ' prefill_Reference%20Name=Reference RECORD ID' (In the appropriate code ofc) and it works some of the time. I find that when I clear cookies in my browsers it works but I was wondering what the real issue is because I need
