Interface Designer

Hey All.Curious how I might set this up.  Here's what I need.I have a form that interested parties need to fill out, an application.We review the potentials, and start the first pass of approvals/denials.The next stage is taking those that enter the next pass to be reviewed by instructors(who have their own base with info that can be a linked record to draw from)So we have a list of of records/attendeesWhat I want to be able to do is have each of the instructors to see the applicant, and make their ratings on each person/attendee/record.I'd thought of setting up like dynamic tables:Then I want an interface that makes it easier for the instructor to quickly rate each individual/potential attendee.  I think I'm almost there, but not sure.Thanks!Sean 

I used to be able to allow users to create new records on linked fields but now I can't find this functionatlity. There was a toggle, editible and allow users to create a new field. This also applied to single select or multiple select categories. Is there a way to turn this feature back on? 

I see a strange behaviour in detail views (when you allow user to open record detail on a list/grid..) in Interfaces. There are 2 pages on separate interfaces. Both pages have a Grid view for the same linked record field. However, when I click on "customize" under allow users to open record details in the properties panel, the detail views available are entirely different. Even if I create a new detail view, it doesn't show up in the other interface. Completely perplexed!  Any clue what's happening here?Can't share any screenshots as there is confidential data. 

Hey guys!I have a question about dates showing up on the timeline view. I have a table for schedules with a start date and an end date. By default if it's a single date (milestone) it fills out the start date if you build the schedule in calendar (as my company does). The calendar can show both records with single dates and records with a start and end date, but the timeline doesn't. It only show records with both start and end dates. Does anyone know of a way around this?My current workaround is I have an automation that changes the default start date to an end date when the record is created, but this causes it's own problems.Thanks!

I would like my base's users to be able to create interfaces so that they can work with the data exactly how they need, however I do not want to grant them creator privileges. I also do not want them to be able to share interfaces (or event better if possible, share only within our organization). Is this possible?

I'm trying out interfaces for the first time but I am a little lost in the UI for how to do the following. Essentially I want a list of projects as one column and a list of tasks in the 2nd column.  When I select a project on the left I want the right hand list column to show the tasks associated with that selected project.  Is this possible.  I realize I can do this with a drop down picker but that is not the interface I really want.

Bonjour,J'ai créé une interface mobile avec une "liste", dans laquelle on peut cliquer pour avoir le détail de l'enregistrement.Dans ce détail, j'ai à nouveau une "liste" pour laquelle on peut accéder également au détail.Mon problème est que ce second niveau de détail n'est plus accessible depuis l'appli mobile (avant ça marchait, et je n'ai aucun problème depuis l'interface PC). C'est problématique pour mon appli mobile :- Pourquoi ça ne marche plus : changement chez Airtable ou problème dans mon interface mobile ?- Comment puis-je régler ce problème ?Merci pour vos retours.Damien

Hi everyone, I’m a free user currently testing AITable to potentially implement it in our ad agency. I’ve created a content calendar that includes a status field with options like “approved,” “reproved,” and others. My question is for those of you who are paid users: Is it possible to share an interface with a client where they can only comment and change the status (for example, from “review” to “approved”)? I want to ensure that clients have limited interaction capabilities while maintaining control over the rest of the content. Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards,Daniel

Hi everyoneI am working on an Interface that has "Projects" and "Tasks". Now in the "Project" Record Page I have a Grid view of "Tasks". How can I set it to only show Tasks that are linked to the current Project? Like this basically Thanks a lot!

I am working on an interface for my installers to use in the field. I'd like to add a way for the installer to upload photos. The twist is that I'd like to only have my installers on as commenters, not editors. Is there a way I can set a button to allow the installers to upload a photo to the record?

Hi everyone, I created an interface form to collect data for a program application. One of the questions is a date field that asks the applicant to select a date for an event. When clicking on the date, it automatically opens up a calendar widget which is not very user friendly because you have to manually go back month by month to find the necessary date. Is there a way to disable the calendar widget from popping out? Thank you!

How can I give users who don't have AT license, the ability to add/update/delete data?1. Obviously I can build a form, but that only allows adding, but no update/delete.2. With interfaces, I can build full access functionality, but it is disabled for non-licensed users, giving them only view-only mode.What am I missing?

Hi, I'm really new to Airtable. I was wondering if there was a way to add a button to make fields editable for the Record Detail template. Basically, I want to be able to edit and update the current record on the Record Detail.

We have a paid Teams license - just a few seats for the development team.Am I right in thinking that if we share an Interface by email as readonly, then that doesn't require a paid license for that user?We were going to use Softr as the front end, but it looks like Interfaces gives us better functionality.  

I've created a Grid View in my base, and created a specific order by dragging and dropping records (not using a Sort condition). When I share the view, the order is preserved. When I add the view to an interface, the order is NOT preserved. What are my options? Is this a bug that will be fixed? Is there an easy way to create a priority field of some sort instead that will auto-change when I re-order the records based on changing priorities? 

Hello,I'm looking for a way to filter records dynamically similar to currently available options "Current user" and "Current user's email". What I have in mind is a formula field in the database that outputs something like "@acme.com", "@company.org". Then, in the interface designer I would like to set up a filter that filters all records and shows them to the user of this domain. A similar feature is available in forms sharing permissions, where I can share a form with users from the specific domain.Thanks to this feature, I could have one interface with dynamic filters, where the user with email ending with "@acme.com" would see all records associated to this company.The current workaround would be creating separate interfaces and sharing them with the necessary users, but if I'm providing services to multiple companies and want to implement some changes or upgrades to the interface, I have to reproduce it in all the separate views.Could this be put on the feature roadmap? &#128

I've done a lot of searching and tried a variety of suggestions but I can't get this to work.  I'm trying to make the viewing of record details in an interface very intuitive for the user.  Here is what I've tried:1. Button Field URL Formula: CONCATENATE("https://airtable.com/appxxxxxxx/pagxxxxxxxx" & RECORD_ID()) and CONCATENATE("https://airtable.com/appxxxxxx/pagxxxxxx?detail=" & RECORD_ID()) 2. Created a URL field that contains variations of the URL shown above in #1, along with a Button field that references that field in the formula.3. I found some information that suggested how to get the URL of the record detail view in an interface, but the format of the URL looks nothing like what is posted.  This is the format I read that I'd find when I got the URL of a detailed record view: https://airtable.com/tblXXXXXXXXX/viwXXXXXXXXX/recXXXXXXXXX but this is what I get instead: https://airtable.com/appxxxxxxxxxx/pagpxxxxxxxxxxx?de

Interface designer is nice but on mobile it’s quite pointless and I hope I’m mmissing something. Wouldn’t want to use a 3rd party for building interfaces. the list views show a random number of fields see sceenshot below. How can this be fixed? Also, to add a record - you need to ba an editor. So bad 😞 I have loads of people only doing that. Submitting records. Now I must make a workaround - because through a form it works  

Hello all,Within a Project Management table and related interface, I have a collaborator field ("Watchers") which is intended to allow users to receive alerts whenever a project they are "watching" is updated.I do not want to show everyone who is watching - I would like only to display information about whether the signed-in user is watching the project, so people don't feel shy about watching projects.I am stumped though, about how to display a "Yes"/"No" answer to the question, does the signed-in user appear in the collaborator list field. Any tips? 

Hi,Looking at creating a dashboard for an CRM/ERP application. One key metric to show would be conversion, i.e. percentage of leads that became customers. Since the dashboard "Number" element can only summarise a given column, not perform calculations between columns, I created a new table "BI" to hold various metrics that I will need.In that table it is easy to link e.g. all contacts and perform rollups and formula calculations to get the needed metric. But then I realised I seemingly cannot place an individual record, say "Overall conversion" (formula: customers / all leads) in the dashboard.I found that number or graph elements could be used to summarise e.g. yes/no columns which in a way would show the same information, but I'd prefer a simple "Conversion: 42%" instead of a whole graph with all the other, unnecessary information.How would you go about this?Rgds,Björn

I am using Airtable to manage a sales pipeline. I have created a sales dashboard using interfaces which reads across all opportunities. I want to be able to create quarterly and monthly reports by duplicating this dashboard and then filtering the records it reads to a specific date range.I can't seem to find the option for filtering a dashboard at the global level - does it exist?

Hi Airtable team!Not sure if this is the right place for reporting bugs.I'm also aware that the features being released are all still a work in progress.I have a Kanban interface that is sorted by a date field. It works great on desktop, but not on mobile. On mobile, the records are still sorted alphabetically. I also like the feature on desktop where we're able to hide empty stacks which also has not translated over to mobile yet.I also wouldn't mind if the mobile Kanban looked the same as desktop and we just had to scroll to the right to see more stacks.Again, if improving some of the mobile experience is something already being worked on, that's great! Just wanted to bring attention to the "sorting bug" specifically.

Hello!Anyone have an idea as to why my line graph is a bunch of scribbles? I want to chart number of applicants to specific majors overtime from term to term. The terms are in the correct chronological order on the x-axis, but for some reason the lines start in random terms and jump to other random terms.Thank you for any help!  

Hey allBeen working with the new Dashboard option and so far I have had a positive experience. One thing that I seem to have lost is the ability to link to a sidesheet record detail like I can in other Interface page.For example, I have an interface page that is just a list and I am able to open a detail sidesheet from that interface page using a URL like this:  https://airtable.com/apptXXXXXXXXXXXXX/pagXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/recXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?tableId=tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  Which is great, I can hand out that link and people will go to the interface page and the sidesheet opens for the record.It looks like I am unable to do that with the new Dashboard page. Is that correct? Or is there another way to do that?Cheers! 

Hi there,I’m using the Interface timeline view to display lots of events that happen over a 2-week period in October 2024. However, for some reason the total date range visible in the timeline view is 1st Feb24 until 20th Jan25 – which means the horizontal scrollbar is tiny, and very difficult to use. I have to scroll very carefully left and right to find my 2 week period. Does anyone know what defines the date range please ? And more importantly, does anyone know how to change it ? I want ONLY my two week period to be viewable, with no ability to scroll to dates before or after. All thoughts gratefully received, thank you !
