Interface Designer

Good morning everyone, In my company, I manage the content of all our Airtable bases. We’re on the Team plan, and the 10+ other members have Read-Only access. Interfaces : We provide multiple Read-Only interfaces to make the data easier to view. Scripting Extensions : We use scripting extensions that can manipulate table data (for example, to get the published versions history from one of our tools). Forms : I plan to add forms so team members can interact with some of our base content (for example, to submit development tickets). My questions : Interfaces : If I add an editable field in 1 of my interface to make the large text areas easier to manage, will Read-Only users be able to edit content ? If they do, will these actions incur charges ? Is the logic applicable if i make the entire interface editable ? Scripting extensions : Similarly, if a Read-Only member launches a script that appends changes to a table, will we incur extra charges ? Forms : If a member submits a form that add

I have created an interface with several pages.Each page needs to be filtered by a field (plus the specific filters in that element on that page). Outcome: I want to set the field filter at the interface level, and have each element on each page consider that filter, with the element specific filters. Why: So that I can duplicate the interface multiple times (e.g. 30 times) and just change the filter 30 times, versus setting the field in each element, in each page, which is at a minimum 15 times per interface. I'm not familiar with Connected elements or Record Picker, but I tried them, but they seem to be filtering just the page, not the Interface. Any suggestions?

AirTable whipped me up an amazingly impressive starter app - tables and forms - from a description of my needs. (Which blew me away.) I'm now trying to tweak at it to make it do some basic things. The application manages the inventory of a seed sharing scheme for a horticultural society. As you can see, it's done something really sensible as regards the tables needed. (I added the gallery view of the seed types list.) AirTable has also made a nice little request form. What I'd like to whip up, is a public interface which shows something like the Gallery view, where on each of the cards, there is a link to a request form. When the form pops up, it is autopopulated with details of the seed packet being requested. So the person requesting a seed packet will not have to enter the info about that specific item, but can request simply by supplying their email address. (I'm not, at the moment, at all concerned with people being able to order multiple seed packs in one go, or with whether they

Hi All, I'm currently creating an interface for my team where we can effectively manage what sprint, client, goals and tasks we are working on. I want to be able to select a sprint from a filter, as a result filter for clients that are linked to this sprint and then as a result filter for goals that are linked to the selected client and sprint. This will then display the task on a kanban view that I stack by status. I have a base with a tasks table, goals table, clients table and sprints table. In the task tables you can link the goals and this will then show the lookup for the client and sprint that goal is assigned to. Any help would be much appreciated. Happy to share more information if needed. Task table headings: Current interface dropdowns that don't dynamically update: Thanks

Hello, I need help understanding who can comment to each other in the Interface Portal feature. I set up an interface with multiple pages, each shared with different external guests who have "Editor" access to the interface, but not the underlying data. For example, page 1 is shared with all guests, page 2 with guest A, page 3 with guest B, and page 4 with guest C. Guests can only comment to me, the base creator, and when using "@" they only see themselves and me. Even if multiple guests have "Editor" access to page 1 (which all guests have access to), they cannot comment to each other. Here are some screenshots: Screenshot 1: Does anyone know what's going on with commenting in Interface Portals? I've looked at help articles (like here, here, and here), but none really answer specifically about Interface Portals commenting. Thank you!

Any one else having issues with calendar views within interfaces Warning message: Internal error Try refreshing the page Everything displays ok in the back end - no changes made by us within Airtable or Interfaces recently.....

I've tried a few things, but fear it's just not possible ... I have a record template that takes a date input on the record, and creates child tasks in a wor-kback schedule from that date, but I can currently only apply it from the base, by right clicking on the task - A little modal window pops up and asks for the date to be input. Great stuff I have an interface where i'd like to be able to trigger this template from, but it currently throws an error if the date field is empty, as opposed to popping up the friendly date input window ... Thoughts? Annoyingly you can't trigger automations / templates from buttons displayed in lists from the 'Button' field, but you can run scripts. The Button I've made has had to be layered in the 'record' view by clicking into it which is just another click

Hello, I am creating a management system for tracking the required materials for projects. In each project, there will be predefined material quantities needed to complete the project. When the work on a project starts, the user will generate a Purchase Order (PO) (third table) and add multiple materials through the interface. I need some help in creating this interface. The base design is as follows: I have two base tables. The first one is called the Master Material Base, and the second base is called Jupiter Castle. The structure for the Master Material Base consists of one table called the Master Material Table, which contains four fields: code, description, type, and unit. I have granted permission to share and sync this table with other bases In the second base, Jupiter Castle, I have the following design: (First table): I have synced the Master Material Table into this base. (Second table): I have created a new table called Material Tracker, which contains the following fields:

I am trying to create an Overview with Buttons for Forms. When I finish it, it looks normal, but when I have others test it, it does not appear correctly. Here is what I see: Here is what I would like to see: I have done the following: Clear the cache and cookies. Used multiple browsers (same result) This way on both Mac and PC Changed credentials of users accessing the site. Same result for any table that I have built with Overview Any assistance is appreciated Thank you,

Hi team, Can someone help me with the following. I have abase with 10k+ records. I have created a chart, but because of the volume of data the chart shows more than I need. What I am needing is the chart to dynamically display only the top 10 values of any given variable. So if I have created a chart of the Titles I have been in contact with I only displays the top 10 titles, rather than all 100+ titles. How can this be done? Thanks for your support

I attended the advanced app building webinar this week (shoutout to the excellent host, Jen Johnson!!) and noticed this new visualization option in interfaces: swimlanes. Is this something that is coming soon? I don't see this option available on my end as an enterprise user. Super excited if it is coming, as it looked awesome in the demo!

Hello! I am new to Airtable and have been poking around for awhile now to try and create the following / see if it is possible in Airtable. Overview I am setting up a super simple voting table, it will just have an ID and 3 string vote fields I.E. test data, and/or the Votes table, would be like (made-up names used) ID Vote 1 Vote 2 Vote 3 582394 John Doe Sally Sue (blank) 362344 Billy Joe John Doe Peter Thol 623442 John Doe Billy Joe Sally Sue Which ideally would aggregate into this Votes Cast table, sorted greatest to lowest number of votes: Name Votes (aggregated from above based on string value) John Doe 3 Sally Sue 2 Billy Joe 2 Peter Thol 1 At first I was reading about Rollups, but I am not seeing examples utilizing multiple fields/and or creating dynamic lines for results, for example, if a new person submitted the name James Cullen, then a new row would appear about for James Cullen with their 1 vote. If this is not possible... is there a way to achieve this if I do 1 vote per

Background: Source table has no records, but fields have been configured. This is a blank copy from another base. Issue: When in EDIT mode and with Creator access, Interface Layout "Record Review" does not show any page elements (page is blank) and does not allow me to add or remove elements. I am unable to configure the interface page. I am only able to configure the "Record List". Request: Is there another way to add elements to a Record Review when the source table has no records?

Hi all, I'm wondering if it's possible to add an option for users viewing an interface (who have access to the base too) to sort/group/reorganise fields in a grid, without having to go to the interface editor. This article seems to think so - https://support.airtable.com/docs/getting-started-with-airtable-interface-designer - but I don't seem to have those permissions on my interface editor. Thanks!

When I query the Airtable base, the image does not appear. In the Pager Design extension, the image fails to load.

Hi all, I am not sure if I am going about this the right way, so I’d appreciate some ideas. Goal: I have two tables. A “detail table” and a “main table”. The “main table” has a related list “link to another record” field to the “detailed table”. In interface designer, I am hoping to create a search that lets me find records from the “main table” and by selecting an item it lets ‘grabs’ the related list of items from the detail table. So, if I select three records from the main table, that each have 3 records in the detail table, it would show me the total of items from the detail table = 9. Appreciate any thoughts! Thank you!

Hello! I am trying to create a graph to show how many records where submitted in each month of each year, and for some reason I just can't think of a way to accomplish this. Example Jan 2020 =1, Feb 2020 = 3 .......... 12 2024 = 89, 1 2025 = 90 sorted in order Anyone know how to do it?

I have created a blank interface where submissions that come in to the "Requests" table are used as the basis for creating records in the "Jobs" table.I've identified that the biggest potential for user error is not having the correct Job selected in the right-side dropdown. I'd like to limit the dropdown's selection to only Jobs that are linked to the Request that is selected in the left-side dropdown.Nothing I've tried so far has worked. Any ideas?

I believe this will be a fairly common request and it’s something I noticed right off the bat when designing a dashboard interface for one of my “aggregation tables” for an e-commerce store that’s being fed data from Shopify. Use Case: New Customers vs. Churned Customers in a given Cohort Year Currently, it seems I have to create two separate charts, like so… Ideally, I would like to lay these two charts “on top of each other.” They’re both drawing data from the same table, so the X-Axis is the same. The Y-Axis is just 2 different columns’ values in the same table & rows.

Heya, We have an interface where we display charts from a base. However, I am wondering if there's a possibility to adjust the data incoming from the base before it gets displayed. For example, there's a field that we need to reformat in a specific way before it gets picked up by the charts.

Hi, I went to make a new interface in the record list style and can't seem to find that as an option anymore, but my existing interfaces are fine. Is it still an option?

The example image for the new Record Review interface shows a profile photo (attachment field?) in a column, next to another column with multiple fields (team, start date, manager etc.). See screenshot. How is this layout created? This is the best I can do: How do I put the name fields and status field stacked on top of each other, next to the photo field?

Is there a way to put totals or aggregations at the bottom of (or any where for that matter) a list in Interfaces? I am not using the blank option - I'm using the Airtablke supplied ones because you cannot embed ones created from blanks into a website. They are always at the bottom of columns in the base grids. It is vey inconvenient to have to add things up with a calculator every time Look something up. Is there an Automation that would do this? Thank, Scott

Hi everyone, I'm hoping some of these questions can be answered simply or, at the very least, passed along to the developers who might implement some of these features in the future. I'm currently on a trial of it and I represent our organization that wants to use these functionalities to build little dashboards and tools to help our teams and colleagues scattered across the country. I was recommended this service by AI, in fact, when I was asking for specific features I need. It's amazing what it can do and I'm clicking around and building things that are really going to make a difference and be useful. However, I've come across a few stumbling blocks that are quite frustrating. Unless I can find a way around them, I don't know if I can recommend using this for our organization. Firstly, there's the issue of displaying attachments/thumbnails. I had this idea of creating a records overview where users could click down the side to show different entries. I'm trying to build a vacancy da

is there a way to get rid of that irritating warning that pops up in an interface when an action i am taking will hide the record from the view? the whole point of my action is to hide the record from my view. as it is, i have to click off of the record and select a new record to make it go away.
