Interface Designer

I just found this article today: https://support.airtable.com/docs/mobile-interfaces-in-airtableLike many/everyone, we really, really need a mobile interface view for our Non-profit organization. We're looking at purchasing a cheap laptop to keep onsite, but it would be so much easier to have ONE iPad, which we can easily get donated. I was searching about whether we could use chrome to view our interface on a chromebook, and I came across the above article that was posted yesterday. I have messaged support, but though I'd check here as well. The airtable version in the app store is 2 weeks old, and I am still getting the "view on desktop" message.  Looks like google play store was updated on 2/14...guess I need to wait and download it on my kid's android when she gets home from school 🙂 

I am trying to figure out a way to generate a bar chart of our active customers.Each of our customer records have a "start date" and an "end date" when they were active. I can easily graph the "start dates" (see attachment) but this doesn't show our cumulative numbers including people who are still active customers. If someone stops being a customer, I still want them to be counted for the years they were active, but not from their cutoff date.The closest I have come to doing this is by linking to another table that has a list of years and basically manually adding customers to years they were active, but surely there is a better way to do this. We have hundreds and hundreds of people. Maybe there's a formula that can do something clever, dunno.Ideas?

 Hi, this should be really simple but there doesn't seem to be a way of displaying percentage of a total (fields meeting certain conditions).Basically I have a list of leads. Each one is labelled as "converted to customer", "converted to partner" or has a blank field.Instead of just counting the number of records meeting the conditions above, I would like to know the percentage of conversions to customer and conversions to partner,  and display this on an interface page.Thanks. 

Without the option to select multiple records, we are required to set dependencies to move more than 1 record at a time. We need the option to click/drag to highlight the records we want directly on the timeline, and then grab and move them all at once.This is available in the non-interface Gantt view. Please make it available in the Interface Timelines too!

Today there was an update called Refreshed linked record picker in Interfaces which makes the record picker for linked fields more compact and consistent.  I like the idea, but it breaks some important things in our workflow.Namely, it does not show images, and it truncates the record names.Here you can see a snippet of an interface which shows a linked field.  There are a few records already linked (circled in green) with image thumbnails appearing on the right side of the card (red arrow).  Clicking the "Add group" button opens the new record picker (circled in blue) which severely truncates the record name and does not show image thumbnails.  

Is there any mechanism which can be used to allow only some records within a list view to be editable? I would like my team to be able to edit records until they are marked as complete, after which editing should no longer be allowed. I'd also like to be able to show the completed records in the same view, so work arounds such as using different views (which is what we are doing currently) make our workflow less easy to follow.

Is there a way to track viewership, clicks, or engagement in general for an interface? I'm currently using Interfaces for a Project Status Update site, and it would be quite interesting to see how users are engaging with its content. I'd love to see a heatmap of sorts as to what pages or content is being viewed most, or where the drop-off is to inform if what I've created is providing value. I could otherwise solicit written or vebal feedback through an Airtable form, but figured data would be another compelling way to gain that feedback. 

I make extensive use of the hierarchical list function, but there is one thing I can't work out how to do. I've made a minimal example here: I have three tables, projects, groups and records. Projects can have several groups, and groups contain several records. I would like to be able to filter the view based on which project a group is assigned to. I can add a lookup field inside the record (which is what is shown in my screenshot filtering for project Bob), but I would like to have groups A, B and C hidden in this view, because they are on project Alice. I can't use the 'hide sections with no additional rows' option, because I would like my users to be able to add new records to group F, which is a member of project Bob but empty. Are there any features which would allow me to achieve this goal?  

Is it possible to consolidate a list of all forms (and links) to administer from one place?

Hello everyone,I can't find the old page where I could see my published interfaces, my unpublished ones, and create a new one. For a few days now, when I click on Interfaces, I'm redirected on the new interfaces page where I can see all my published interfaces on the left menu, but I don't have any option to create a new one.Has something changed?

Here's the system:Base A: Used for Project Management for an event in January.Interface A: Created on top of Base A for use by other members on the team where data access needs to be considered.Base B: Use for Project Management for an event in February. It is created by Duplicating Base A after the completion of January's event, so that the base undergoes an iterative design process, benefiting from the additions/improvements made to the base during the last event.❌  What I'd Like to Do: Upon creation of Base B by duplicating Base A, create Interface B that is a duplicate of Interface A.I am aware that Airtable does not support duplicating Interfaces to other bases for fear that the underlying data structure will be different (on Airtable's end, I imagine that at the least they should b

Hi all, today we’re beginning to roll out some redesigns to the linked record picker in Interfaces. These redesigns should make it easier to identify the data you need to make a selection, reduce some unnecessary clutter, and bring a more flexible experience as you can now easily resize it to fit your screen real estate needs. This redesign unlocks some future features for linked records, so stay tuned for more soon!  

Hello, this is my first post here, so I apologize in advance if I have chosen the wrong location or have too lame question.I am designing a database to track people's time on projects. I have three tables: People, Time, and Projects (which is synced from another base). In the Time table, there is a list of time entries. Alongside other fields, each entry is linked to one People record and one Projects record.What I would like to achieve is a List view of the Projects with the following structure:- Project (sum of all time - this I can accomplish with Rollup)--- People (with the sum of time spent on the particular project)------ Time entriesHowever, it's not working because there is no direct linked connection between People and Projects. I can create a Lookup field to show me this data, but that doesn't work in a hierarchical structure.Only solution I have so far is to

We are currently opening prefilled interface forms via url but have noticed since the forms upgrade if you open more than one form at a time it copies the partially filled form results.Our use case requires us to have more than one form being used at a time on the same browserIs this a Google Chrome issue or an Airtable issue?Is there anything I could add to the URL to clear any cached data every time a form opens?I know there is a clear form link at the bottom of the form page but didn't need to do this on the old interface form setup?Any help appreciated 

I am trying to implement a button for each record in an interface that increments a field in the record. I can get this working in grid view with a button field and a script. But when I go to the interface, all the buttons are disabled.I can get this working in an Records Review or List layout interface with a interface button element and an automation with a script in it. But the user has to click on each record to open the record detail view to see the button. Is there a way to put an enabled button visible for each record in an interface? 

I've been using Airtable forms for over a year and they were great. I noticed they changed the interface, which doesn't seem to add to functionality but complicated the process. Also, you can't add linked fields anymore. I had mobile browsers set up, and out of nowhere they became useless when they changed this function. I could be wrong but forms can now only be used for new data. Before, I could add a linked field where I could choose an existing record and add/edit data. The only reason I can think of for making this change is because it was easy for employees to interact with Airtable without having to pay the $12 per month but, what I don't understand is, why isn't available to employees who are on a monthly subscription. I'm really hoping I'm just not understanding the new form function because my use cases for Airtable have become irrelevant moving forward. Has anyone ran into an issue with the new form function? Or, can anyone suggest a workaround? Th

OverviewAllow users to assign different detail pages based on conditions.When a user expands a record from an interface, allow users to change which details page opens based on conditions of the expanded record.Setting the conditions could work using a UI similar to the one conditional coloring uses.Problem:There are many instances where I have records that share 90% of the same info, but based on some differences - such as Type or Status, need to be interacted with differently.For example, for my business we track furnishings and fixtures we refer to as "Items" for architectural projects. We need to ensure that certain pieces of information are recorded for each Item, but what pieces of information we need varies based on the Type of Item. There are so many different kinds of information that we need to record that we have as many as 120 different fields in our Items Table. idea

How can I customize the Airtable interface to dynamically adjust bar colors based on the values stored within specific cells?Specifically, I'm interested in understanding the process of implementing such a feature within Airtable's interface to visually represent data more effectively.Are there any specific settings, configurations, or formulas that need to be applied to achieve this level of customization within Airtable's platform?Additionally, what are some best practices or considerations to keep in mind when setting up this feature to ensure clarity and coherence in data visualization?

I have a form that I am editing using the "new form designer" - aka Interface Designer.I am adding some new questions that should be in a group - and all of my old questions seem to be in another group.Can I put the new group INSIDE the old group? Or do I have to figure out how to drag everything OUTSIDE of the old group before I can create conditional groups?Thanks!

Hello all,we use interfaces in airtable so that we can only show the desired data to the users who need it at that moment. For example, we show records where the "current user" is indicated as the assignee.We also have a "Team" field where multiple users can be indicated. Here I would like to indicate a group as a team because a team changes every now and then. We created the group in the admin environment. Does interfaces then recognize the current user in the group?Does anyone know if this is possible?Greetings, Martijn

I have a base with Costs and I want to set up a form where our staff can select multiple records data from one base that will then create a new record in a different base. I want these new records to only show the data selected in the form. This base has unique 'cost code' fields and a corresponding 'Nett Rate' field. I want them to be able to select multiple 'cost codes' that will then create a new record with all of those selected cost codes and Nett Rate fields I then want to set up an automation that sends that record as a CSV file to an email address

Hello!I'm new here and trying to mimic a critical feature for my workflow. Is there any way to create parent tasks and sub tasks, each with unique columns? This is something I'm able to do in monday.com, but I really want to use airtable as my PM system 🙂 Here's a pic if it's easier to visualize: I searched around and couldn't find it in the community posts, so wanted to check here.Thanks!

I have a form that collects multiple garment measurements. Each measurement goes into its own field.I would like for all the measurement fields to be displayed on the form. One or more should be required, depending on the value of another field (garment type).This doesn't seem to be possible. Have I missed something?

Hi everyone!I am currently checking out Airtable to see if it can replace a number of tools currently used for a construction Company. Right now I am trying to build a Report tool, using the Interface designer. There are the following tables involved: - User: The worker of the Report- Project: The Project of the Report- Report: The Report itself -> New one is generated- Performed tasks: Things that have been done, always linked to Person/Project/date & include length in Hous + notes etc -> multiple new ones are generated- Activity of the performed task: One Activity from a database of all the tasks that can be done. Linked into "Performed task"Now the Activity of the Performed task is nested in the Performed task. I set it up like this so that you have your database with Activities and then in the report, a

Hi, I am trying to get some more sophisticated user interfaces and calculations into a form view or interface but am getting stuck. I am trying to have some pre-set instructions with calculated values in a form that employees would be able to fill out from a single link. are there any integrations/ extensions/ suggestions on how I might be able to do this?Thanks for the help!
