Interface Designer

Here’s the scenario: I have a long text field (called ‘Email Draft with Placeholder’), and a formula field (called ‘Email Draft’) where I’m replacing a few placeholder key using REGEXREPLACE.I’m then displaying ‘Email Draft’ in a Record Review in the Interface. Here, it displays as expected, maintaining the new line breaks.If you copy that text (by dragging across it and CMD+C), and paste it into a Gmail new email, it all still looks good.But if I send the email, and look at what was sent, all the new lines are gone! 😱I’d be really grateful if anyone could explain what’s going on here, and how I can fix it! 

I’ve created a Shopify PIM template for e-com brands. In this template, you can find:A global dashboard with products distribution (Categories, Sales Channels, Region Catalogs...) Products catalog: a classic products catalog with an interface to easily update one or multiples products at the same time. Inventory: interfaces to manage your inventory (per location, low stock levels...). Monitoring center: to easily track last updates and missing data.Connection between Airtable and Shopify is made by SyncBase. It’s a two-way sync integration so all changes made on this Airtable PIM can sync to your Shopify store in a few seconds.Just drop a message if you want to get this template for free! All I’m asking is feedback :D

Hi,I’m a newbie and was wondering what affects the fields listed in the field selection of interface Levels. I currently have only 1 field I can choose from, where the table actually contains a number of fields. What do I need to do to be able to choose a different field? 

I’m building a simple dashboard for our executive team that includes a Number element for a currency field. The dashboard needs to work well on mobile because our execs often access it while traveling internationally.On desktop, the number element displays correctly with thousands separators (e.g., $1,284,428,043.95). However, on mobile, the formatting disappears and shows as a long unformatted number (e.g., $1284428043.95), which is hard to read.The number element is set to Summary → Sum. It’s aggregating a rollup field from another table, which is formatted as currency. The thousands separator appears fine on desktop but not on mobile.How can I get the thousands separator (comma) to appear on mobile for this number element? Is this a limitation of Airtable Interfaces on mobile, or is there a workaround?Thanks!

Hi chat, My coworkers are running into issues with the filters for their interface. They are finding that they're interface filters are resetting frequently throughout the day. Filtering is critical for our workflow and often when they're viewing their pages, it will remove their last filter. Has anyone experienced anything similar?Specific issues:Filters clear without user action. In other cases, filters revert to an old or unexpected state. For example: Our team commonly filters on the Assignee field. Most of the day, users apply Assignee = Themselves (10+ times per day). Occasionally, they apply Assignee = A Coworker (1–2 times per day). However, the Interface will often revert to the less frequently used filter (Assignee = Coworker) as the default, even when that filter has not been recently applied.What's been confirmed/tested:The issue affects multiple users across the same Interf

Hi there,  I’ve created a pie chart in my dashboard interface, and I selected a field to group records by (Gross Margin %). It seems to work well, but it sometimes displays multiples of the same value as separate slices (see multiple 14% and 40% in the legend below). Is this a bug, or am I missing something in the chart setup? I’m really confused why the same value wouldn’t group together automatically.  This is what my setup looks like: If anyone has any ideas, I’m all ears! Thanks so much :)

Hi AirTable Community, I have a commercial dry cleaning and laundry business. I’m trying to create an Airtable app that will let my clients share an itemised list of the garments they’re sending me for cleaning each day. I’d like to create an interface with a form at the top, that lets the client enter each item for cleaning with relevant detail, then a table directly below which lists each item, so they can see a summary of the data they’re inputting in real time. I’m confident about designing each element, but can’t figure out if/how I can put them on the same interface. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks! 

Hi Airtable Community,I’m trying to reproduce the Record Review layout shown in Airtable’s setup preview, the one with an employee list on the left and a large profile card on the right. In that preview image, the record detail area shows:A profile picture (Attachment field) on the leftAnd, directly to the right of it, several fields like “Team,” “Start Date,” and “Manager” displayed inline, where the field label and its value appear on the same horizontal line, for example:Team: CreativeStart date: Dec 28 2022Manager: Julia Harris I’m attempting to achieve this exact side-by-side layout in my own Interface. Here’s what I currently have:I’ve successfully positioned the Attachment field (Profile Picture) on the left, and I can place other fields (such as “Contact Type”) to its right.

Hello, I have a feature request for the form usage. I would like to have the possibility to have dynamic response in a field depending on the value provided in a previous fields. For instance if My Main category is "Product" selected from my drop down list, I would like to have only subcategories linked to "Product" available in my second drop down list. How could I do it ?

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.
