Interface Designer

Hello,I was elated at the ability to prefill forms in interfaces just like you can do with the standard forms. However, I'm not able to prefill a linked record in an interface form.I was successfully able to prefill other field types with the interface form, just not the linked record.In addition, I tested the same prefill string on both a regular form and an interface form and even "hardcoded" the string with the Field ID and Record ID (?prefill_fldXXX=recXXX). It worked as expected on the regular form but not on the interface form.Is this functionality not yet possible (other posts on here suggest it should be)? Is this a bug?Thanks!

Hi,Is it possible to manually reorder rows in an Interface Grid Element? If a grid is not sorted or grouped, the "dot" handle on the left does not appear. If a grid is not sorted but is grouped, the "dot" handle appears, but grabbing it and moving the row does nothing. The row stays where it was.In both scenarios, when inserting a new row, the row automatically filters to the bottom regardless of where it is insertedI'm setting up interfaces to introduce new users in our organization to airtable. This automatic row behavior is frustrating them because they're used to things like (unsorted/unfiltered) google sheets, and want to drag and drop rows into their preferred order.Is there a way to configure the Interface grid element so the row behavior is the same as an unsorted grid view?Thanks!

Hey there!I've been having problems calculating and displaying a metric through Interfaces. My ideal end use will be displaying the rate/calculation in a chart so it can be displayed overtime, but I'll settle right now for being able to set the number to a Number Element if it's too hardSo - I'm trying to get the metric Contacts per Purchase. I have a contacts table that has all the contact information plus two relevant fields deal_status (single select) and email_date (date lookup field from the campaigns table).This metric would be easy enough in other system because it would be the simple (Count Contacts / Count {deal_status} ="Purchased") grouped by email_date month buckets or dashboard filtersGiven that neither the Numbers or the Charts elements allows for internal calculations, does anyone have an approach to this issue? I'd rather avoid heavy automation of nested linked because of volume

Just recently noticed when printing from a list interface, the field headers are now off center from the data below it when printing / PDFing. They appear aligned as they should when viewing the interface itself, but are off once you print. And this is different than the field columns I have for the next level up on the hierarchy, I know those can be resized independently.Anyone else see this happening?Interface view herePrinted view hereUsing this function to export PDF reports daily so hoping I can find a fix to make this look more organized again. Currently using Arc, but happens in Chrome as well of course. Haven't been able to get this view to ever print fully in Firefox or Safari, but in the portion that will show up when printing, the hea

I have an image field used in my timeline that i would like to refine. Currently the timeline label can show the first image as the cover image - perfect.Then the popup window when you click on a record should show the "hero" style view of that image lookup field, but instead is currently showing each image separately making you scroll far to see all the fields/images in the little popup window. Then you expand the record details to see the sidepanel, and the images show correctly as a Hero style viewer. - perfect. Any way to fix the popup window to have option to use the Hero viewer?

Hi Everyone,I can't seem to figure out how to make a summary of all the expense records within a category. I have a table with  expense names with their respective number values and a single select to categorize the expense.However when in the interface designer I can't seem to "rollup" "sum(value)" per category to report the high level rather than every list item.  

Hi,Does anybody know why the comment section is not loading/working properly? I have this issue in multiple bases. See attached screenshot for visualisation.Hopefully somebody can help. Cheers 

Hi!I'm looking into making a KPI Dashboard for company-wide use. Traditional solutions would be something like Tableau or Power BI, but since we are a small company and we already have Airtable, I've been trying to scope our Airtable as a possible solution. While scoping it out, I haven't been encouraged.It seems like Airtable has a lot of capabilities, especially when using Vega-Lite, but one key thing that we need is the ability to configure charts easily. For example anyone should be able to quickly change the date range on a chart without it affecting other's view.I also haven't been able to incorporate Vega-Lite into an Interface. I've only been able to include it in the Extensions, which is not a convenient user experience if we have 20+ KPIs. I think I need Vega-Lite to get the charts that I need, for example a Sankey chart is not available with the "native" Airtable charts.Am I missing out on some capabilities or should I move on from Airtable and

I am building a crop planning tool in airtable for our farm. To simplify, we crop plan with some of the following considerations:- What crops are going in a bed (we are diversified farm, and plant multiple species together) - each crop is its own records, so a bed plan will typically have 2-3 crop plan records associate with it. In special cases, there will be around 10 (cover cropping).- What bed they are going in- Expected planting date and expected removal date- What was growing previously, for crop rotation and other considerationsThis would be much easier to do visually. I would like to be able to drag plans forward/back and between beds, to help them fit together.A few difficulties:- As we have multiple plans to a bed, each crop in a plan is it's own line in timeline. This takes up a lot of vertical space, meaning I don't have a good overview. Sometimes I can

Hello! I am trying to use the line chart in interface designer to show multiple lines with YTD data across multiple seasons. I've used the "Group By Season" selection. The inputted YTD numbers steadily increase month by month across the x-axis monthly timeline, but the lines displayed in the chart look like scribbles. Can anyone help me understand why? See three photos attache of data, the chart, and my chart settings.

I've created a simple form which allows users to select a name from the table and provide some details + a file upload. After the form is submitted I update the record (leads to a duplicate record being created, but ignore this issue for now). I've now had over a thousand submissions via my bio link in instagram, but around 20-35% of people complain that they get a "page not found" message after submitting. I have tried this out and this only happened to me once when testing after I opened the link in the instagram browser (as opposed to opening it in Safari). Anyone know what this issue could be, i don't have a url redirect on form submissions so it should just be displaying the thank you message I have written.

Hi, one of my clients can't view a Grid-view Interface on his iPhone.  Airtable documentation says they now support grid views on iOS, but he gets the "This page is not supported on Mobile. Go to desktop to view".  He can view it on his desktop.  Is it because I gave him read-only permission? 

Hello there,i generated an interface and when trying to open it within the mobile app on an iPhone 14 then it is loading endlessly with showing anything.On my desktop the interface is working fine.I closed and reopened the app but having the same issue.Any idea?Thanks a lot in advance.

One of the very best things about grids and lists in interfaces is that they can be filtered locally, that is, user A can find records where State = TX while user B is looking at records whose State = FL at the same time and using the exact same interface. Solves a huge problem with views in classic Airtable. Fantastic.What I ask Santa for when I say my prayers: Let user A's (and user B's) filters on that interface page stick until that user resets the filters or edits them, even if the user switches to another interface page. At least make it an option that can be toggled in the options panel for the grid or listing object, over on the right side of the page in edit mode.Why it matters. Here's an example from my school management base. User starts in Interfaces by finding parents, say, by name ("Porter"). Now, she wants to jump over and confirm something relating to the children of the Porters who are attending t

Hi, is it possible to do the following in the Interface Designer or in Forms (old/new)?I want to create an "add new order" page/form, which will show the user all possible products taken from the Products table, and next to each item the user would be able to enter the desired quantity.Would look something like this:ProductQt.product1<user input>product2<user input>......after submitted the form a new order needs to be created with each row in the above table becoming a new record in "Order Line Items" table. I'm ok using scripts if that will allow it.Is this possible?Thanks.

Dear All,I'm designing right know an Interface to show the Warehouse stand of a multi site operation. I've programmed the tables in order to present the stand on each site and then to sum it up to have the general situation. Now I'm trying to visualize all in Interfaces. For the general situation I'll use a Dashboard with filters, but it is not ideal because the number fields are way to big and there is no way to create multi field chart. For the site situation I used the Record picker as a start. This template is a lot better to show a lot of data, because when presented as elements from the Record picker, the number field are small. To visualize the data I wanted to insert here some useful charts, but I've realized it is not possible to connect them to the record picker field. It is quite a strange behavior here from the interfaces: you can connect the chart to the record picker, but then the only sources available for the chart are the o

Hi,Is there a way to insert css designs to the interface? if it can be done, How do I do it?Thanks 

Hi all, I'm trying to build an interface with the recipe and the instructions side by side.I managed to pull all the data i need but my instructions is only showing the first line. The full list only appears when i double click in it.I am not sure if i've missed any settings. For the instructions, I've set it to a dedicated table with one line of rich text formatted in bullet points. I am trying to post all this in one page so we can have them printed.Thanks!

Hey everyone!I need to have multiple record pickers updating a list at once. I saw another post where someone commented on using a filter to group the record pickers, but its not really making sense to me. Im super new to airtable, a really detailed approach to this would be super appreciated! Thank you for any help! 

Hi, I'm looking for a way to create an interface that hold a list of records, that will display a required record only when looked for. kind of reverse filtering.for example:I have a list of of possible types of documents available to the customer.I want the list to be empty, but when he fills a filter with a certain value (for example:invoice), the record called "invoice" will appear.Any Suggestions?Nitai 

In the interface section, when I create a form page, is it possible to retrieve the id of the new entry created by the form?At the moment, I have the impression that the only one I can display is a free text like "Congrats, your answer has been sent" or something similar.Thank you for your reply.Julien

I’m going on Day 3 of not being able to edit an Interface I have been building for weeks. I have reached out to AT over 24 hours ago and still no resolution. 2 min video on the issue. Has anyone experienced this? https://www.loom.com/share/9472a0447d0f4cbea523213fbf40cf83

I am confused. I do not have very many records but some tables have about 150-250 fields per record.  When I use the interface designer is it the SLOWEST thing to edit, to the point of being useless. Why would this be as I only have like 200 records in most cases? It  also seem to happen in the evening a lot but I do not have any other extra  computer processes running compared to any other times. I'm getting lags of half a sec on selecting fields normally, I have to literally "Select" say "one one thousand"  then move the field.... but then at evening times and such and a few others I'm getting like a  1-3 second lag time on field selection response and occasionally up to 5! My latency is like 27-33 fyi.

I'm new to interfaces, so I'm only starting to understand them. I have recently created a list layout Interface with multiple pages within this Interface. When updating the record detail layout on one of the pages, this layout is then updated across all pages.Can you have different detail layouts across pages of same Interface or do you have to create new Interfaces?Any help would be appreciated 😁
