Interface Designer

I’m curious if there are any plans to add conditionally shown fields to Interfaces, similar to what is possible in form view? For example, if you’re tracking network outages you might use one field to specify that the cause is a power outage, in which case you would want other fields to appear that let you specify when the power outage started and ended (so you can track UPS runtime when the power goes out, and site recovery time when it comes back.)

I’ve been trying to delete a published interface but can’t find where to delete it. I opened the interface and looked for a delete button but couldn’t find one. I exited the interface and went to my workspace to see all of the bases and interfaces I have, but I couldn’t find an option to delete it there. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I'm playing with the interfaces and I have a question. Is there any way I can share an interface with a person that hasn't an Airtable account?I don't want to add them as collaborators, because they should see only that interface (not the base) and I don't want to ask them to create an Airtable account just to see my interface. My final goal is sharing the interface link with an automation through email. Is there any way? Thank you!

I've created a pivot table in a dashboard interface and I'm trying to summarize cost for projects. Each record is a deliverable which has a corresponding "Brief" that it's tagged to. Each deliverable also has a cost associated with it. Both "Brief" and "Cost" fields are lookups from another table.The pivot table:Rows: BriefColumns: Deliverable TypeSummarize by: FieldField: CostSummary type: SumUnfortunately, the pivot table just shows up completely empty. I created the same pivot table as an extension and that worked perfectly. I can't seem to figure this one out.Also, the Cost field is set as "currency" in the lookup table, if that's important.

Hello Airtable Community, I have a timeline display and group on three levels (market, category, linked event)For some entries, there is no linked event. However, it is very important that it is also displayed for the entries with linked events.Can I somehow prevent the entries without links from always showing (empty)?Thank youMirko   

Currently when viewing a record's details in an interface, Grid/List visualizations can be used to view the record's "linked records", however these visualizations cannot be used on the record itself.I.e, if I have a Customer record with Order linked records, I can view the Orders in Grid/List visualization, however, I cannot view the Customer record itself in a Grid/List on that same page.What I would like to do is to show some of the Customer's fields in Grid/List view. When there are many fields this allows to show selected fields in a neat one-row view. (Rather than having each field one after the other vertically).Currently my workaround is to create a new linked record field where I link the record to itself, but it would be great if this could be done without this workaround.

I’m really excited about the new interface designer features. Airtable has given us the tools to build functional apps without getting people too deep into the database side. Unfortunately I can’t quite fully embrace it yet – it seems like the interfaces don’t work at all on iPhones. Moreover the degradation is pretty un-graceful, users just get a message to login or use the app with little or no explanation of what went wrong and how they could fix it. Our folks – especially some key stakeholders – are on iPhones more than any other platform, making this an important thing to solve for here. Does anyone have any ideas about how to deal with this? Does anyone know what Airtable’s roadmap is? Would love to leverage the features if I can figure out how to manage this challenge.

Hello, I designed an interface with some nice stats and graphs only to discover that I can only share it with Airtable registered users. This is very annoying as I cannot ask clients or occasional collaborators, which often aren't even that tech-smart, to sign up to a dedicated service, even if it's free.Can you please allow us the possibility to share an interface in read-only mode with anyone who is provided with the link, just as google docs does?

I'm building a CRM for my friend running a coaching business. There are two tables I would like to surface at the same time in a single interface "Sessions" & "Client"I want to create a user friendly view where she can see today's sessions - she can take notes etc for each session, and also have relevant client details up. (I've done a little mockup to explain)I know I can use Lookup fields to surface this information, but is there a cleaner way so I can simply open the Client details when a Session is selected (I'm using Record View but there might be another option)Any advice appreciated! 🤗

I have an interface form set up as an intake form for employee changes.  There is logic built where different fields show up to be filled in depending on what is selected.  It works well for individual employee change but I would like to enable a requester to submit more than 1 change without filling out a new form. For example, I have 2 employees I would like to promote and want to select different reasons for each and for employee 1 there would be a position number change while employee 2 does not.  Ideally, the same fields/logic already built can show up for employee 2, 3, etc so they can run through the same questions.  Also, is it possible for form / base to have an embedded table (similar to google sheet) where they can fill in for multiple employees at once.  

It's past May 17th and I still don't have the left navigation UI referenced in the help article "Getting started with Airtable Interface Designer." I'm missing the "add element" button. Anyone else with this issue?

I created an "upgraded" form and gave users commenter access to the base and workspace. However, when they try to upload a file (images to be specific), they get an "invalid permissions" error. Is there a setting that I am missing? I tried out this setup with the old forms and it seemed to work. 

I know this should be easy, but I'm new to Airtable and apparently missing something obvious.I want to let users add a new contact to my base.I have a People table and a Companies table.  They are joined with a multi-to-multi Roles table [Person, Company, Job Title].I've built a form to accept a new People record, but:1) How do I detect if a matching record already exists.  If it does, I don't want to create a duplicate2) I want the form to also ask for the new contact's company and create a new Role. But, I can't ask for Company in a form on People, If, instead, I put the form on Role, then I can't create a new Person or Company; I can only accept existing ones.My assumption is that I'm trying to force the system to act in a way it doesn't want. And, that's fine. I'm new to Airtable and 100% comfortable restructuring my base to work in a natural way.So, my broader question is: how do I setup a base so

In the iOS app, I can edit all types of fields in the interfaces except the "Link to another record" fields. I can view related fields, but I can't link or unlink them, although I can do that on the web. Is this a bug?

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!
