Interface Designer

Hi everyone,I want to bring attention to a much-needed improvement for the record picker in Interface forms, as originally discussed in this post.Right now, the record picker only shows the primary field, which makes it very difficult to select the correct record when there are similar names. For example, in my school’s internal system, we manage students, courses, homework, and exams. When enrolling students or linking to assignments, we often see multiple records with identical or unclear names—and no way to differentiate them.A simple solution would be the ability to show additional fields (e.g., date, type, ID, or status) in the dropdown menu. This seems like a small change but would greatly improve usability across many use cases.

I want an interface with filters and a list of records, but I don’t want the list of records to be visible by default before applying a filter. How can I do this?”

Hello, We’d like to make our dashboards nicer by adding dynamic welcome messages that are personalized for each user. Could you pls advise me how to implement this? Appreciate your responses. Thanks a lot!   Christine

Hello,I’m looking for a way to create a schedule based on projects stored in a main list (with the project name and team assignment).I’d like to display a calendar running from 7 AM to 4 PM, Monday through Friday only.A single project may be assigned to multiple days, and I’d like the view to show: Teams arranged along the X-axis, Days of the week along the Y-axis. The planning would be managed in AirTable, but visualized in Noloco.I’ve been trying different approaches but haven’t managed to get a clear solution.If a kind soul could help me set up such an interface, it would be greatly appreciated!Gauthier Arnould

THE HELP ARTICLE SAYS IT’S LOCATED IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER.  IT’S NOT INTERFACE DESIGNER "ADD ELEMENT" BUTTON IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. What an I doing wrong?   Do I have to install “Interface Designer”? I click “ Interfaces” on the top center of my base and have created several interfaces.  None of them have an “ADD ELEMENT” button. I’m simply trying to add some instructions on this interface and I don’t need it to be a long text field.  I just want to add a Text element to add helpful formatted text, links, lists, descriptions to my interfaces. SUPER FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

!--startfragment>In  Airtable base, there is a column named Task with a dropdown field containing the following status options:To Do In Progress Paused Completed TRB In Progress TRB Paused TRB CompletedConditional Logic: When the status is changed to In Progress, the user should only be able to select from: Paused Completed TRB In Progress When the status is changed to TRB In Progress, the user should only be able to select from: TRB Paused TRB Completed When the status is changed to TRB Completed, the user should only be able to select from: Paused Completed TRB In Progress FYI already tried On2Air and they are only focusing on back up.

Hello! I am trying to create a line chart in an interface that shows the number of records (leads in this instance) we received this financial year vs last financial year. I essentially want to see how we are tracking in comparison. What is the best way to go about it? I have created a formula which indicates what FY the record was created in to assist with grouping but I just cant get it to display correctly.Thanks in advance for your help! 😊

On one of my interfaces, I added a calendar element when opening record details. It works great on desktop, but the calendar element is cut and unusable on mobile. Has anybody else had a similar issue?I tried to move the element at the bottom and middle of the record details card, but no success so far.

Dear Community,I’m working on a vacation & sick leave overview. I created a form each, each of them populating a table, one for the overview of vacation requests and one for sick leave. In the employee interface, we have one calendar page. This shows atm the vacation requests for the current user. Now my question is if I can add the data from the “Sick leave” table to this one calendar page, meaning that in the calendar the employee can see the vacation as well as the sick leave info.If you need pictures for a better understanding, I’m happy to provide them. Thank you so much already!Best, Philip

I’m really sorry to have to ask this question.But since the last update of the interface, I have the following problem: How can I exit the edit mode of interfaces if I haven’t made any changes? The publish button is not active, and the “exit” button that used to be there is gone. What am I missing? Thanks!

Hi When i'm working on the interface, I would like to be able to copy past data from a cell to another cell. Is it schedule in the roamap ?   

Hi all,A while back, I somehow managed to add an “Add Item” list element inside the single record template. But I have no idea how to recreate this now. I would start from a blank canvas, but I don’t see a way to recreate this situation.  

Hi everyone! I’m building an Interface page that will serve as a library of:Each Product my team trains on. From a synced table: Product Database. Each training Resource we have for each Product, which are set up as linked records.  From a synced table: Training Inventory.  I set this up in a Record Review layout (preferred over List View for our use case). When editing the interface (and when “normally” viewing the published interface), everything looks great. The linked records display properly (as a view) within the record details.The problem: In the public share link or when embedding the interface on SharePoint, the linked records do not appear. This happens whether or not a product actually has linked records.Has anyone else run into this limitation with Record Review Interfaces? Is there a known worka

Hi everyone,In our workflow, it’s really important to be able to see multiple dates for the same record, not just a single start/end range. We know the Calendar view allows multiple date fields, but the challenge is that Calendar displays events vertically, while what we need is a continuous, horizontal view like the Timeline.Has anyone found a workaround or creative solution to display multiple dates side by side in Timeline view (similar to how Calendar supports it)? Any tips or best practices would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance 🙏

Dear Airtable Community,I’d love to get your support. In our timeline view, I schedule our technicians. Most of these technicians are from the assembly department, but occasionally we also have technicians from the service or maintenance departments helping out.I’d like to visually distinguish the technicians from the other departments in the timeline view, but I can’t seem to find a way to do this.Do you have any ideas on how I could set this up?  

I can't wrap my head around this restriction on interface designs. If you have a linked record picker, but the field has a dynamic filter on it, then Airtable will not allow you to show the list of linked records as “cards.” You can only see them as “pills,” i.e. name only, without any additional context from the records’ fields.  I have a field directly above this one where the user can see cards with additional information when they're trying to select the appropriate record to link. I can't figure out any obvious reason why a dynamic filter should create a situation where you would not be able to access and display the fields for those linked records. If it's just a UX design decision on Airtable's part, I don't understand why they would see limiting a user or builder's access to their own data as a good thing. 

Since the latest update, when looking at our Interface the data is getting jumbled.  eg. we allocate workers to projects and they are correct on our Base, however when we look on the Interface on a mobile phone the columns seem to mix up and Workers are appearing against the incorrect projects. Has anyone else experienced this or have a fix for this?

After entering/editing a notes field on mobile app I am unable to exit using the arrow at top left of screen. I tap it and there is no response.  

I am creating an Interface for our company. The goal is to create an overview page, where our employees can see all they need, e.g. Links (which is easy) but also e.g. a summary of their working hours.The problem is: I don’t know where I can find the “Toolbox”, with which I can add elements to the page. If this is not possible in the overview page, I can create a different page which is dedicated to e.g. the working hours. But here I have the same problem: I can’t find the “Edit” button that leads me to the Toolbox. I hope the pictures explain the issue. Permissions: I am an admin and creator/collaborator in the base/interface. I tried to make myself a Builder (from the admin of our org), but we can’t find the “builder” option anywhere. What you can see in the screenshot is a record review page, and I would like to add an element to the top of the page that sums up all the overtime hours the employee has accumulated.

I spent the last 4h hitting my head with the keyboard and trying to find a solution by myself, so, no solution found, and, here I am.Scenario:2 tables: table A and table BTable A, has a linked filed to table B, and this last table contains several recordsBasically it is 1:n relation Ok. Now I setup a blank page on interface designer.I select a record picker for table A. No issues hereAnd, I select a record picker for Table A, but linked field to table B. (which effectively displays only those values from the table B that are available/linked to table A)The button triggers an automation which contains a script.  The idea -that is not working- is that the script should grab the value from the first record picker, which is the field recorded on Table A, and the value of the second record picker which is the linked field on table A pointing to table B.What is the issue? when I defined the variables, I declared field1

Hello!I'm trying to add a button to an interface and call an automation on click, according to this guide it should be possible, however when I try to follow the steps I face this problem:Supposedly the button should have the action option "Run automation" as shown in this picture:However when I add a button to my interface that option is not present, as seen in this picture:Any help with this issue would be appreciated!

Hi,I shared an interface with a collaborator, and he used to be able to change the status of tasks from the mobile app.Now, he can’t change the status only from the mobile app, even though he has the Creator role. It still works fine on desktop.anyone has an idea why is this happening?

In my data I have two fields, name of a program and hours. In the screen grab I’d like to move the hours in front of the program name. Is there a way to do this? This view exists in my interface. 

I see a new layout option is available on the interface designer. Selecting this option just populates an empty page with a drop-down field off all my tables. I cannot for the life of me find anything anywhere in Airtable that might allow me to add an interface extension. Having the Base extensions in the interface would be SO amazing. 

in airtable interface we created an interface that can create a treatment plan automatically by using scripting but now our client are having difficulty creating the treatment plan automatically as it continue to show timeout. Don't know why is like that?
