Interface Designer

I want to build a button in the Records Picker interface that public users can click on, and it pops up their email app with a specific subject. I know Airtable's HTML tag capabilities are limited but I want to embed something like this inside a button: "<a href="mailto:example@example.com?subject=Your%20Subject%20Here">Send Email</a>" Above is what it looks like to the user, but when they click on the red button, it should open up an email with the subject line pre-filled with this keyword. The goal is to have our customer service inbox to filter emails with this keyword as high priority.

Hi community, Has anyone encountered the following issue and what may be causing it. I have a record - Unique prospects contacted in my database. The sum of all entries in this column is correct showing 18516 In the designated Interface I have created a Number to illustrate it. I have now noticed this number is showing an incorrect value I have not set any filters or exclusions. I even deleted the original Number and defined it from scratch but the output is the same. Has anyone encountered an issue as such and what did they find as a resolution. Is it something I am doing wrong

I am building a complex workflow for a project-based business. In this workflow, if multiple customers are associated with a job, the job is duplicated for each customer (City Building 1, City Building 2). Furthermore, if multiple versions of the job are required by customer A, there might end up being City Building 1 and City Building 1.1, and then City Building 2. In the end, there will just be one job selected (ex: City Building 2). I know that comments copy over at the time a record is duplicated, but I'm wondering if there is a solution for somehow keeping all the comments for City Building together without a bunch of annoying copying and pasting. Sometimes there are addendums etc, in addition to the multiple versions of a job. Basically, I'm trying to preserve the historical record inside the record (rather than in email threads). I also don't want to just use a notes field because then users cannot @ each other... Is there another out-of-the-box solution I'm overlooking? Should

I've been tasked to create an interface that serves as a self-help page for people who encounter common tech issues. I also want them to be able to rate whether the solution helped them, but seems when using record interface won't allow a public user to interact with the rating element even after making it editable. Everything else is working except this component. Is there a workaround for this?

I would like to have 3 tabs for each page in my interface. I want Tab 1 to display fields A-M, Tab 2 to display fields N-Z, and Tab 3 to be "All collections" and display fields A-Z. Every time that I try to change the fields that are being displayed in the tab, it also applies those same changes to the other tabs. How do I display different fields for each tab in the same interface page?

How do I allow users to search / sort / group within the list view in Interfaces? If I first start with the List view using the Wizard, it doesn't allow give me an option to add levels. The only way I can do this is to start with a blank interface, then select List as an element to add. BUT when I do that, I don't have any options for users to search / sort / group. Am I missing something here? Why are there two different sets of options depending on how I select the List view? First screenshot from List Interface through wizard (no levels option), and second screen shot from adding List as an element on Blank template (no sort option). One additional frustrating thing is that the only way I see to add fields from a specific saved view is to use the List option from a blank template.

Why, oh why, do I not have control of how I order elements on a Dashboard interface? I want to put a list view first, at the top of the interface. There seems to be no way to do that. The first option to add is a count, then I can add bar graphs and pie charts, etc, and then lists and pivot tables have to go at the bottom. A list or pivot table can't be dragged to the top, nor the pie and bar graphs dragged below. This is a huge pain and I do not understand why there is no option to arrange elements the way I want them, the way they make the most sense. Am I missing something here? Doing something wrong?

Trying to get my dashboard interface to show a graph with multiple Y axis that links to a record picker. So far, I've only been able to get 1 Y axis, I can get multiple Y axis when I don't use a record picker though.

I have a database with two separate tabs that are not related to each other: Projects Tab: This tracks projects, including their start and end dates. General Tasks Tab: This contains various tasks assigned to people only when they are not working on a project. Currently, I have an Interface with a Timeline View that displays the start and end dates of each project, grouped by person. This allows me to visualize the workload of each individual based on their assigned projects. I would like to enhance this Timeline by also including the information from the General Tasks tab. This way, I can see the complete workload of all team members, whether they are working on a project or handling general tasks.

Is it possible to add validation for linked record rows? I am using the Record Review layout to display data with a one-to-many relationship. I need to apply validation to ensure that the value is not empty and does not exceed a dynamically generated value. Is this possible in an Airtable interface? Thanks.

I am working on an interface to summarize project line items by vendor with the goal of seeing how much of each project order needs to be ordered from each vendor. To do this, I am using the list interface and grouping line items by project and vendor. In the interface, the only summary data shown at the vendor level is record count. However, within the base, it gives you the option to show summary data for different columns (i.e. sum /average of column at lowest level). Is this possible within the list interface? Or would a different interface be more useful?

Hi everyone – i saw some folks ask this questions but have not seen an answer as of Q2 2022. Is there a way to embed interfaces into another web app/ website? If not, is there a workaround like an elegante way to embed the whole airtable app into another website? Thank you!

Hey Airtable Community, I have a list of tasks, and I group them by project (which is a separate table). I also have a field in the project table, specifically a progress field, and I’d like to display this field alongside the grouped tasks in the interface. I remember I've done it before and I even have a screenshot I attach below. But I can't remember how it's done! Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I have a 4 table layered structure in my base. VP<->Objective<->KR<->Project. Each layer has a link to the layer above/below it. I am creating an interface to show all of the work under each VP. For Objectives solely under 1 VP, this is working great. My challenge is that we have some Objectives that are shared between multiple VPs. When I show those, I want the table to look like this: Shared Objective Shared KR Projects (filtered to show only the selected VPs projects) I have fields in the Projects table that I can use to filter, but have no way (that I can see) to apply a filter in this way. I tried creating a link from Project<->VP. From that, I can build a table of Projects grouped by KR, but I can't show any of the KR information in the table. Is there a way to do what I am trying?

I am allowing users to add projects via record templates by clicking an add project button in my interface. The challenge is that while much of the information they need to create is already handled by the template (i.e. tasks, predecessors, etc.). I do need them to create a project name, assign a project manager, etc. When I select the template a form opens to collect this information. So when I select Broadband (New or Upgrade) I get this form which has all the information I need to collect. But when I select the Disconnect Any Services template I get a completely different form. Some of the templates appear to reuse the same form (monthly invoice review, monthly strategy, etc.) How do I control what form is opened when I select a template? I would like to reuse the first form from this post for all my templates but I can't see any way to set the form used by the template. The add project button is configured to use that form but some templates seem to ignore that and use another for

Hi everytone! I just embbeded a calendar on my website and I would like to remove the "See Bigger Version" option, which when clicked takes the visitors to airtable full calendar version. As I just want them to interact with the calendar from my site, filling a quick form whose details go onto the calendar, is there any way to remove the mentioned option? This option is on bottom right corner of the calendar, opposite corner to the Airtable logo. Any ideas or advice is truely appreciated. Thanks a lot!

I notice that while i have a confirmation enabled on the computer for the delete button on an expanded record in the interface, I do not have to confirm to delete from mobile which has been risky for my team as we use our mobile devices frequently in the field and its easy to accidentally hit that big red button. There is also no way to undo on mobile if you miss the brief "undo" float message. Am I missing something? It would also be nice to have a delete confirmation feature when add/delete records in line is enabled for calendar, list, kanban views, etc. on an interface. I want my team to be able to click the calendar to easily add tasks to a certain date without filling out a form for each but I don't want them to accidentally delete records either.

Hello All, I have a base for an order management system where I created an interface (Record Review layout) to display received orders. I added a field for the order status, including options such as "Received," "Damaged," and "Not Received." I want the system to open a new form for adding extra details (Logs table), such as the order number, description, and other relevant details, whenever the user selects any status other than "Received." for individual records or is there any other way to do it without using the third party solution and script. If required any more details let me know in this thread. Thanks.

How do I configure Stacked Bar charts? I can’t seem to find any option in the Chart properties in the Interface.

Hello Everyone, I have observed that a limited number of my drop down fields in the interface designer allow for the enabling or disabling of adding new options ; currently , only about 40 % have this feature enabled . How can I enable the feature to be available on all remaining drop down fields ?

I tend to use the Tab filters a lot for ease of jumping between project types & clients and it would be great if I didn't have to recreate my preferred (pretty long) list of tabs each time or have to duplicate the view and edit.

Hi there, I think I already know the answer to this but thought that I should ask. Is there a way for a user who has filled out a public form to edit the data that they submitted in the past? For example. If I have a form that invites people to provide information about their product which they do, is there a way for me to allow them in the future to "Edit" that information later if the price of description of the product changes? Thanks in advance. S

Hi everyone! I create KPI dashboards for my coaches. It is working fine for two of my coaches but not for 1 of them. I have confirmed that all records are linked to the KPI table. Still now showing! What gives? https://www.loom.com/share/df130c440c6349ceb54177609e888d1d?sid=eacafc33-cfe9-434b-83c5-7874a32452f7

As the title suggests, I have a gallery view in my interface. Showing nice cards, each one with an image pulled from a table. Perfect. But the issue is, the image on the card is clickable and when clicked opens up a large version of the image which the user has to close. Ideally, when they click either the card text or the image, the card should open the record. Is there a way of doing this? Same thing happens when the record opens, if they click the banner image, it opens a larger version of it. I don't want it clickable.

Hi, I'm new to airtable, I've created an invoice generator in Airtable interfaces, however I am struggling to figure out how to make it editable. I would be so thankful if someone could help me out. I have a catering company, my client invoices are updated 4-5 times throughout the project pipeline. Here is what I am trying to achieve: A new invoice is created & Linked to client project (this is complete) After the first invoice is created, allow the user to open the most recent invoice > create a new invoice from the exiting one > edit/ update the new invoice > submit new invoice > tag as "most recent version" What I cannot figure out: How to create a new invoice from the existing one How to tag the invoice as "most recent version" to make it easy for the user to identify which version is the most recent I tried creating button that runs an automation to duplicate the previous invoice but it's not working. I would be so thankful if someone could offer me a bit of guidance! Thank you!
