Interface Designer

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

Hi,How can I set a condition in intefaces so that the chart displays data only from the last calendar year?Within the past year apparently does not count the calendar year, but the year itself. I need January 2024 not to be there anymore.Thank you for your help.

👋I have an interface with a grid view. In the view there is a select field. I want user to be able to select one field, copy the field (CMD+C or CTRL+C) and Paste in the same fields of the other recordsOn Mac this works perfectly. CMD+C copies the selected field. With Shift users can select the same fields of the other records in the Grid and with CMD-V they can paste it in However for users using Windows 11 with Edge or Chrome this does not work: CTRL-C is fine (you get a notification that the cell is copies). With Shift you can select the cells of the other records and they are being selected (blue background). However CTRL+V does not work. This works fine in the base. Just not in the interface. Is this a bug or a known limitation? Best Hendrik

Good Afternoon, I am an Administrator for a private education institution and I am curently working on turning my Airtable bases into an interface that our entire team can interact with. I’m working to avoid anyone other than myself and one other Administrator ever having to interact with the typical Airtable bases/grids. The one thing I’m struggling to figure out (I’ve watched all the available videos and livestreams etc and referred to the online help guides). We’ve connected our Twilio account to Airtable via the Apps/Dashboard feature within the base containing all of our contacts. It works just fine, no issues there. What I’m looking to do, is take that Dashboard/App element and add it into the Interface that I’ve set up so that the faculty who interact with the interface only can have access to the Twilio messaging feature. We use it primarily for urgent communications as they arise (weather, health, safety etc), and our class hours are not always w

Not exactly sure which location this post should go...Hello! I've been using Airtable for a few years now. I use Quickbooks for my ordinary inventory, but it doesn't track our Wholegoods inventory. I set up a basic database, but as we grow, I need this a bit more polished. Perhaps turn it into a form. Do you provide services where someone can create that for me? beyond basic knowledge, I just don't have the time to figure it out 🙂 Thanks!

Hello, Community!I have a button in a grid view which action is "Open in page designer". I cannot find an option to incorporate this button/action into interface designer. Well, I can add the button field but no action is available in the interface. No further options available neither.Have I missed something?K

Has anyone made / planning to make something like this?I can see how a gallery view would be nice as a starting point for an App with lots of Interfaces, but I can't see a good way to add a simple clickable 'link' to them, other than have a URL in the Record Info, but it wouldn't feel very intuitive? Thoughts?

If I create a survey form (interface) to be filled out for project requests - do the other departments making the request using the form need an Airtable license? 

please help me to add element that will filter result by month, so i want to pick up just month inside filter not date is or is within or something, is there any way?

Hey all, I have a table where I have all team colleagues, with Photo, Email etc. If I will now select an Assignee for a Task in the Tasks table I will get a pretty nice view with all key information and a photo, which I really like. Image with data from an template: However, in Interfaces / Forms it happens sometimes that it is just a plain checkbox list. In other places, like if I am opening a record in an Interface it seems to work and I just have to make sure the layout is select to "cards". I did it for Forms as well, but here I can't select the fields which should show up. Is this a bug? Is there a wa

Hello!I'm currently building an interface where I want to be able to pick a record, open the record detail for a specific linked record, click into one more record detail for a 3rd linked record, and then click a button to establish a link back to the original record in the interface. I'm able to have that button automatically populate a very specific record link, but am not able to have it dynamically change based on the actively open record in the original interface. Making the button run an automation also doesn't work, because the automation can only be passed the information from the deepest record detail view I go to.To explain all of that a little more specifically, I'm building a base to build shipments for customers. Each shipment will be based on a template, but will have different specific contents (each may have a shirt, shoes, or hat, but then you can choose what size based on the original templated shipment). Since AirTable can't natively support dynamic

I have a series of Interfaces that all start with the same record picker.  I'd like to pick the appropriate record in the record picker of the first interface and then pass the value I've selected in the record picker to the remaining interfaces so that I don't have to pick it at the start of every interface.  Is there a way to do that?

Hi you’ve got those great Extensions (made by Airtable) like Chart Extension and Pivot Extension but in the Interface Designer, making Bar Charts for example has substantially less options. For example, there is no option to group by to get such a chart: https://cdn.airtable.document360.io/d0ee2ee4-3f78-47c7-b388-85e40be9fb89/Images/Documentation/Screen%20Shot%202017-10-11%20at%205.52.29%20PM.png Are there any thoughts on bringing the most popular/most used Extension applications also to the Interface soon? It is actually quite annoying to create a Dashboard in the Interface perfectly knowing, that a better, more insightful Dashboard remains hidden inside the actual Base. Thanks!

In an Interface, is there a way to allow users to edit records in a Kanban element but restrict them from adding a new stack? 

We have a fleet of vehicles, with a entry_date and exit_date, we also categorise their type (passenger/commercial). I was hoping Airtable could graph (suspecting only line graph will work here) each month of the year (Jan 2023/Feb 2023/Mar 2023/etc) and the total count for passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles where the month of the year fell between the entry_date and exit_date. Has anyone done this before? Thanks for any help in advance!!

Hi there,We have a number of users who have interface only access (i.e., no base access). One of our pages uses a 3 level list. When they attempt to add a new linked record/new row through the interface by using the + icon (e.g., a task or action), they get a permissions error. Any insight about why this might be happening would be helpful. 

Is it possible send an Airtable form without the Airtable cookies (disable the cookies)? We don’t want to save the forms's information in the cookies, when it’s not necessary.

Hello, Is it possible to show specific data which is unique to Interface-only viewers. I want to create an interface where they can see a record of form submissions (use case: invoices) which they have submitted via an airtable interface form and see what the current status is without seeing everyone elses response. Is this possible? if so, how do I go about it?I would like to avoid duplicating and re-making interfaces for individual viewers so am looking at softr worst case.

Hello! I have recently been building out an interface that has a few different pages within it such as Home, Event Details, Event Contacts, etc. The main purpose for this interface is to create a more user friendly and aesthetically pleasing method for myself and employees to input data to our master base of records. My company manages logistics for touring musical artists so each record in the base represents a single event. Therefore, each page within this interface represents a different slice of the overall information pertaining to each event. If I want to add flight information, there is a dedicated page for that, if I want to input hotel information, there is a dedicated page for that, and so on. Currently, as far as I am aware, the only way to pick which record the interface page is addressing would be to add a Record Picker element which can be used to pick the specific event from a drop down menu. So if I am on the Event Details page within my interface,

Hey All - hoping someone might be able to help me out here.  Using the list view in Interfaces and three dropdown options, I give my users the ability to generate and view custom reports. I'm trying to find a way to allow them to download/save/export these reports as a PDF or even Google Sheet - and hopefully save the list layout. Here are the issues I'm running into: 1. There is no ability to add a button to the list view (Likely will not be able to work around this)2. I've tried using the page builder extension but it will not allow me to include lookup fields in the data - which is how I'm building the list in the first place. 3. I can't seem to find any other way to pass the filter information through to the automation with a button. In full-page Grid/Kanban/List views there is no option to add a button, and the Grid/Kanban/List elements can't be used as a button source in non-full-page views. 

I want to have the top filter dropdowns be dependent of each other for the list view. For example, if I select Program A, I should only see the projects that fall under Program A... not all the projects available for any programs. 

Creating a CRM and I was hoping to create a master interface to act as a management dashboard and draw from multiple different bases. Is this possible? or does all the information have to be in one base under different tables?
