Interface Designer

Hi,For some time now, the unlink button on a card shows as a mere white dot when hovering over the item. Only when you hover over the button itself does it show the proper dark background / white 'X'.This makes it hard for users who aren't very familiar with Airtable to work with our interfaces.

Hello,On Interface Designer of Airtable, when a user preview the PDF this is working correctly.But, when he download the PDF, Airtable remove the parentheses of the name files.Is it a normal behavior from Airtable ?We need to keep identically name file, because we need it on automation.Thanks 

Hi everyone ! 👋I'm setting up a database with a lot of elements coming from different tables.It's a database on which sales people have to make modifications, but I'd like them not to have access to this database in Edit mode.To remedy this, I'd like to create a form with an active search.e.g.: They enter a customer's name, and all the information we've already pre-filled in the fields, to avoid duplicating questions.Have you already implemented this? Is this possible?If not, what tools or workflows would you recommend?Thank you !

Need a way to have the sum of the columns be viewable in an interface like below.  

Hi,I am sending users from an interface form to a Calendly event booking page using the redirect URL.Calendly would be able to receive variables such as invitee_name and invitee_email, but in the form design I can only choose record_id to be passed.Getting name and email passed from Airtable to Calendly would greatly simplify the UX and reduce error possibilities for e.g. email address between Airtable and Calendly.Is there some workaround how to get other variables than record_id to be passed?Rgds,Björn

Hello community,I've searched through the forum and haven't found an answer, even though I think I might have one.Actually, I would like certain people among our team and our clients to have access to some information on the interface, while others do not. I'm not sure how to go about this.Should I create another interface, or is it possible to have conditional tabs within the interface?Thanks!

I have an Airtable table that contains Requests and another that contains Devices. Both share a common link record to a Company table. A Company has a 1 to many relations to both Devices and Requests. Also, there's a 1 to 1 mapping between Requests and Devices. I'd like to have an Airtable Interface where I look at all "open" Requests and based on that Request's company field, choose an "available" Device mapped to the same company to be linked to that Request.Is this possible and if so, any guidance on how to go about that?

Good morning, I am working on an Interface and I want to add a drop down filter for a specific field in the table I am using. But Airtable is only offering me one field and it is a linked field. Is there a reason that a native short text field is not available to use as a filter? This Interface is of no value if I cannot filter by this field. I do not want my users to have to use the filter button the top right as it requires skills most of them do not have.Thanks for any help you can give.Thanks, Scott

 I see that Interface forms have validation for dates. Question is how to set it up? I would like to set up the start date to be 14 days from today, but the Range limit doesn't allow dynamic settings. What does this Range limit help with then?

Hi all, I'm building a task management base with a Timeline interface set to the Gantt display mode.  I am interested in utilizing the critical path feature mentioned in the help site for Gantt views but I can't seem to find the settings for it on the interface side.  Does it not exist for interfaces???  TIA!

I have the below interfaceThe idea is to give the service team members a touchable sheet they can use a tablet to checkoff when putting a cart together. However, the checklist is not editable inside of the interface which seems really stupid to not be able to do, plus for whatever reason isn't even viewable inside of a tablet/phone so defeats the purpose entirely. Any ideas? 

Hey guys I've created a new base, where one of the tables syncs to another table in a separate base. Got everything working however, inside of the interface in the NEW base, the button to update a field in the linked table does not work. Any ideas?  

I can't wrap my head around this... For demo purposes, I have created a pretty simple base that looks like so, and this all looks goodThen I created a simple interface; the only problem is the item highlighted, which is incorrect. I have tried all the options, and nothing is giving me the correct %. If I plot the same data in Excel, this is what I see:Any idea how do I get the right ROI % (I need the result from the same table)?    

I've got a button on an interface Kanban that opens the record creation form right on that same interface page, which is really helpful. However, I'm now trying to put a button to do the same thing on a different page of the interface, which started as a blank page, and that button action ("Open record creation form") isn't an option.Am I missing something about the button setup, or is this a bug? The form I want to open exists in the same interface, but being able to create new records without having to leave the page is a time saver, as is the ability to create records with a nice curated form rather than just using the inline record creation option, which jumps around because of our default sorting and has a million fields on it by default.

 We are planning to use record templates in our organization for records (jobs) that we build a lot. We will probably reach the 100max limitation, which is fine. The problem is that every time I add a new record template, I have to go to the interface, remove all templates and then add them again so they are on order. Otherwise, the template that I add at the end will be at the bottom of the list and it will be difficult for my team to find that template. I tried dragging them up/down but it won't work.I would like to have the below sorted by name;For example:Cherrys: E12738Flender: E10346Shibaura: E11334 

i have been using airtable for 5 years. My team uses it quite extensively- particularly for automations. however, for the life of me, i cannot seem to create a useful interface. i have tried time and again. i see the promo videos, where interfaces look amazing. so i go in and try again. and almost immediately, i get bogged down. does anyone have a youtube guide they can recommend?For airtable base topics, Gareth from GAP Consulting has been my go-to guru for years. everytime airtable drops a new feature, i wait for Gareth to cover it in one of his videos, and it all becomes clear. however, even Gareth has failed me when it comes to building interfaces.my team is going to be onboarding a new set of users soon. and i have a feeling that an interface could be a real asset to the new users- so they don't have to deal with ALL of the data and can just focus on the parts that apply to them.any suggestions for guides on building interfaces? than

Hello everyone,In an interface page I created an automation that is launched when I click on a button.The automation will allow me to duplicate a record.However, when this automation runs, I stay on the page of the record I've just duplicated.Is there any way of adding a step in the automation, or whatever, so that the new record, which is the duplicate, is displayed?Thank you for your help.Julien

It would be really useful to be able to select more than one record/element at a time in the Timeline view. It is not uncommon to want to move 10 days of bookings 'up' a day, and currently this can only be done in Gannt view (which is not available in the Interface designer - very frustrating).  

When click 'open' in an interface, why two forms are shown?Sometimes only 1 form is shown (which is what I expect), but often two same forms are shown.Anything I did wrong?Thanks!

Hi,I was wondering if it's meant to be possible to sort the cards manually within each stack in the Kanban element in an interface. You can do it in the Kanban view but I don't seem to be able to do it in an interface.Erik

It's possible to "Link/Unlink Records" and "Add records through a form" on Android. But when I login to my Airtable App on the iPhone it doesnt show the X grey button on the upper right corner and the "add Record" button below. I'm using the same account to test the same interface on Android and iOS. Both have the latest version, but iOS wildly has a big difference and lacking in features on the linking / unlinking records.Screenshot from Desktop Interface Editor of what I need:Screenshot from Airtable iOS app that has the "Add payment" button and "grey X" button missing: I also saw that this user had the same problem last OCTOBER 2023 but no one responded since. 

I've created a dashboard interface and I've added a filter by date.I can do many type of filtering such as "is after...", "is before..." but I cannot filter between 2 specific dates.It seems that a "Is between (exact dates)" filter is missing.There's a "Is within" filter that seems close, BUT it does not allow to select specific dates.Is there a solution to that problem or am I missing something?   

Does anyone know why creating or linking records in elements with a linked record source is disabled (locked icon)? Right now, you see this when you mouse over those disabled buttons: This feature is not currently available in Interfaces for elements with a linked record source  Because I do need a linked, filtered, and sorted list element with a record source, I came up with the solution of adding a record picker element, just purely for the ➕ button that isn't disabled. I think the hover message means that the Airtable team is working on it, but not sure what the timing or issue is. Anyone know?

I have a basic interface List View page setup on my base. I have an "Add Record" button in the top right of the page that opens a record creation form. On Desktop it works fine.On mobile, if you open the list view, the way you access the add Button is using the "+" button in the bottom left of the mobile interface. When I click the "+" button, you see a list of buttons you configured on desktop. I see the buttons I expect, and they are configured to open up a "Create" formThe issue is that when I click on a button in the list, nothing happens. I expect the create record form to popup, but it doesn't. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I have created a space for the company that my clients can access to see their results (in a control panel, interface). But in order to see their results, currently, they have to create an account on airtable (which is strange for them since it is my company that provides the service)I want to know if it is possible that they can access to their dahboard (interfcae) without logging into airtable, or something similar, it is very important for me.Thank you
