Week Number data on chart duplicates

I used a calculation to track the week (in a cal year) that a data point was input into my base so I can track my sales team meeting their weekly quota.  When I charted this in the dashboard, multiple weeks (16, 17, 17, 18, 18, etc.) showed up in the chart (pic 1).  If I spread out this report in the db, even more weeks show up (pic 2)

"Allow users to switch visualizations" toggle not there

I am creating an interface for my team. I want to allow them to choose between a gallery and a grid to view the information. However, the "Allow users to switch visualizations" toggle is not there, and I can't seem to find a setting that would have made it disappear. Is this a bug or is there some other reason why the toggle option is not available?

multiple select retrieve records - react

I'm building a Todo app in react and I added a multiple select named "category", the idea is when an user enters the item, have the option to select the category the task falls into.I'm able to fetch the title, but from that I have read multiple select returns in an array form. if I pre select a category in airtable, it will be displayed on the app, so that gives an idea that at least the fetching is working.Here is the code    useEffect(() => { const newTodoList = []; base("Default").select({ view: "Grid view" }).eachPage( (records, fetchNextPage) => { records.forEach((record) => { newTodoList.push({ id: record.id, title: record.get("title"), // Need to retrieve all values from field category: record.get("category"), }); }); fetchNextPage(); When I console.log(newTodoList) the object returns with category undefined, if the field in airtable is emp

Help for AirTable Noob

Pretty new to AirTable.  Trying to build simple base to keep track of group members.I have a Members table, a Groups table and a Group Members table. This last is a join table with a column for Group, a column for Member and other columns that aren't related to this issue. The Group Members table also has a Name column which is the primary key.  It is a formula which is basically Group Name & "-" & Member Name.I'm building an interface to show the Groups table. It has a list of groups that I can pick from, and the proper record shows in the interface when I do this.I added a grid which is bound to the Group Members table. It shows the proper fields, but is not being filtered by the particular group I have showing in this interface.  I expect it to only show the group members associated with this group.  The filtering options are good, but require a hard-coded filter.  Instead of that, I want the grid automatically filtered to show member records from th

Interface Error: Can't customize KanBan Add Record Form

I don't know if this is intentional, but I can't imagine it would be, as every form can be modified in interfaces. Hitting the + button on a Kanban stacking field opens up a form that can't be customized.Only the fields that show on the record as they appear in the Kanban stacking field itself show up on the 'add a new record' form.Is anyone else experiencing this? It makes the Kanban field almost entirely unusable, especially for users who don't quite understand what's going on.Or am I just doing something wrong?

Timline Day View - Zoom available?

Hy,my name is Josef, I own a agricultural contracting business and built myself a little interface for managing machines and operators in a timeline view.I spend a lot of time in the Day view, but it is a little bit confusing. First, it is not visible right from the start where the day starts and where it ends. Second, I don't need to see all the hours from midnight to midnight.So the main Question is: is there a way to either Zoom in or to only show a specific range of time like from 5 in the morning to midnight?thxJosef

Adding new linked records on an element within Interfaces // When will this be available?

Apologies if this has already been addressed elsewhere, I couldn't find a similar post and need to get this off my chest 🙂I'm desperate to have the functionality available to add new linked records through an element on an interface in whatever layout / style I need (List, Grid, Kanban...etc). Right now it appears the only way to do this is to add a "Field" element from the linked records, and use the "card" layout.When you add an element like a list, kanban, grid...etc that shows linked records, I want to filter those linked records by the main parent record, AND have the ability to add new linked records to parent record through one of these element layouts.Each element filters properly and appears to keep the button where adding new linked record should be, though it's grayed out, locked, and displays a tool tip saying "this feature is not currently available....etc"The verbiage of the alert leads me to think this is a feature that's coming very soon, or AT would have just r

Interfaces: Forms elements, single select + add text option

I am creating a form in Interface Designer. I have fields that are single select. Unfortunately I need the person who is filling out the form to be able to do single select option, if their option is not listed then they are able to use single line of text. When I go to change the preferences it only shows that it can either be mandatory field or not. No option to allow to input text if single select option is not available. Is there a way to make that possible or is that not feasible?

Aligning column headers when using prefix fields on a list element in Interfaces

Hello, I recently noticed an issue with the column headers for list elements in interfaces. When you add a prefix field to the list, the column header for that prefix field is not visible. This is fine, except that this affects the alignment of the other column headers within the list. Specifically, the header for the second column that appears in the list (aka the first visible field that is not the prefix field), is aligned on the far left side of the list, over the prefix field instead of the field it's supposed to be referring to. For example, if you want to display project information and your fields include Project Status, Project Title, and Project Staff, and you create a list element with Project Status as the prefix field, and Project Title and Project Staff as the visible fields, you will get a list that has three columns (one for each field), but only two column headers, with the "Project Status" header not visible, and "Project Title" aligned over the status column ins

Full resolution view of PDFs in the record review interface?

We are evaluating Airtable for use as a flexible project management system. A significant part of our workflows concern the intake, organization and review of PDF documents (e.g, correspondence, memos, progress reports, etc.).We have a firm grasp on how Airtable can help us with respect to the intake and organization workflows for PDFs as attachments. However, we are struggling with using Airtable to efficiently review PDFs, which is largely a product of our inability to display full resolution (or near full resolution) views of PDFs.The "record review" interface layout would be nearly perfect for our PDF review workflow if we could immediately display a full resolution view of PDF attachments when the record review interface is first opened without the need to click on the attachment, wait for it to open, and only then be presented with the full resolution view of the PDF.Based upon my search of this forum, it appears several people have requested the ability to incorporate full

Interface: Kaban Collaborators Comments

Scenario: I have a base with a table in it.  This base has the grid view, kaban view, and a form view.  The form view allows for the creation of new records.  When using the Kaban view from within the Data section, it seems very useful in my overall goal in creating a ticketing system.What I am trying to figure out is when creating an interface for these records using Kaban as the element, is there a way to allow for adding 'seeing and adding collaborator's comments' from w/in the Interface?  I can see these comments fine in the 'Data>Table>Kaban View' but don't know how to see these comments, let alone add new ones via the Kaban view in my interface.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Request: Drill-Down Grids from Chart Elements

It would be fantastic if Chart Elements could serve as a linked filter for Grid Elements, in that highlighting a certain column of the chart would automatically apply that value as a filter to a grid of records elsewhere in the interface. This is especially needed in Interfaces since the Chart App in our bases is already capable of showing you components records when clicked!

Please simplify deleting an interface (published or not)

I just spent 1/2 hour trying to figure out why I couldn't get DELETE to show up active when I was trying to delete an interface under the new UI.  (Which btw, this is seriously over-complicating how to delete btw)I ended up deleted elements instead of deleting the interface because it is so confusing.

New Interface Sidebar

I'm afraid I don't love the new lefthand sidebar menu which is due to be rolled out next week. It takes up valuable space which would be better used for interface elements and data. The reduction in available space means that we'd need to redesign some interfaces, as data and field names are now truncated and don't display correctly.Perhaps it could be adjusted so the sidebar rolls out when the user hovers over the far left of the screen, or similar?

Users can now create records in linked fields interfaces??

All of the sudden, my users can now create records in linked fields in Interfaces. I have no way to toggle this off. This is a HUGE problem for the reliability of our business workflow and for keeping safety rails up. This needs to be fixed ASAP! Anyone else notice this?

Filtering by current user and having 2 kinds of users

Hello,We are creating an interface that is filtered by collaborator is current user. But collaborators can be of 2 kinds (from a simple select: commercial and analyst).  And both fields have to appear in the record in the interface. So that a Commercial collaborator knows who is the analyst assigned to this process, and vice versa. And also, so that in the collaborator field only a Commercial collaborator can be chosen for that field, and only an Analyst can be chosen for the other field.We have tried to use linked fields to a different table with User, Type of user (commercial, analyst). And then we do get the right people in the right role... but of course, then you don't get the current user filter in the interface.Looking around and with many tries, we have found no way to do this.How would we be able to do this?

New update changed Interface

Previously had the blue bar highlighted on the left on the with each subsection to chose from and this was originally show across the top bar. Unfortunately, Airtable recently updated their format and now this bar appears on the left side as shown and the format is much worse. Has anyone run into this issue and is there an easy fix? Really annoyed that Airtable is changing Interface designs.. Thanks!
