Interface Designer

Hello,I've got a problem when using the search function on interfaces, the text will change as I'm typing or miss letters, almost like a text autocorrect. It's very frustrating. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem or is there a work around?Thanks,Andy

Please could number formatting options be implemented? At minimum, I would expect to be able to set decimal places and use of thousands comma. Even better would be to add currency symbols.

Hello,I'm wanting to take the timesheets we built out in airtable and create a dashboard in the Interface Designer for each member of the team so they can see an overview of their time, over under etc.I can't for the life of me seem to find anyone having a template or having written about one - so basically if anyone has anything they can share - it would be much appreciated!

Hello,I have created 3 forms connected to the same page (they need to be) and I was wondering if there is anyway to filter them on an Interface to only show those submitted on the same form.Thanks. 😊

Hi all; I am currently in the process of designing an AirBNB-like booking system for a company that leases multiple rental units. I have designed an interface where potential tenants can review the units they can choose from, however I'm running into a snag when it comes to being able to allow them to select their desired move-in and move-out dates (interfaces won't allow for filtering by date fields, apparently) to result in showing them properties that would be available during those times. I have read about using scripting to make this happen but have not been able to develop a script/formula combination that works, and the company doesn't want the responsibility of having to approve booking requests based on a manual check of whether or not that unit is available. Does anyone have guidance on how I can accomplish this? At this point I don't even know where to start as far as experimenting or testing to see what the best option would be, and most of t

Hey guys,I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for moving elements around more smoothly? At the moment when I try to move record elements in grids they rearrange everything in ways I wasn't intending.For example: I have a section on my interface for Important Links that are pulled from different fields that I want to lay out in a particular way. And when moving them into positions from this : To attempting to get all the elements aligned it does this:Does anyone now of a way to maybe lock locations of elements or grid or something to just make moving things around smoother? 

In my data I have a column that is a button. This button opens the page designer ext. to the record it lives on.When I bring that button-field onto the interface, the button is grayed out and not clickable.  (See below. It should be a bright orange color and clickable.) Does anyone know why? Is there anything I can do?  

We need to assign staff to shifts. I have a calendar of shifts and can put two staff members on a shift. I want to have the staff confirm that they will do the shift, sort of like inviting them for an event on Google Calendars. I think Interface might be the place to do it. I was looking at using Button and having it change the staff person's name from "Sue?" to "Sue Yes" or something like that. However, with the Set option, I can't have the staff person change just their name but rather changes the whole field. I need to get permission from both assigned staff.Is there a way to make this work?Thanks.

Hi Airtable Dev team.You've royally screwed us freelancers with the latest update to the Interface! 🙎I understand that the idea is that there are now templates but first we had to toggle the permissions to expose the create button. Now! Fields that were mandatory are no longer and many other fields have suddenly appeared.We convince people to use Airtable and now sit with egg on our faces with questions like - "Why is this field no longer there?", "Why can I now see XYZ?", etc.Better QA!

Hello,I'd like to embed a WebView or iFrame into Interface Designer (passing some fields as URL argument). An other option is to display HTML content (not MarkedDown stored in a field).I wondering where / if there is a documentation to code custom Interface Designer components ?I don't want to buy a third party plugin ... As a workaround, I'm considering coding a ChromeExtension to hack that but it's very kludgeMy usecase is VERY basic ... seeing a field containing HTML or previviewing an URL. I don"t understand why AirTable prevent that feature? (or I might missed it ?)Thanks !

Hi team ~ I've created a tracker in grid view to track graphics workflow at our company. I'm wondering if there is a way that I can share the base and have editable cells within (mainly dropdowns, similar to the function in form view) so those without a licence can edit/update? We don't have a huge budget for a licence so can't afford to have everyone as editors. My only other thought is to create a generic login for our staff to use as editors and update as needed. Happy to take on any suggestions! Thanks!

Beginning on 8/7/2023, when entering a new record in my application’s Interfaces, I noticed that the CREATE button has disappeared from the ADD RECORD Form.  Verified that all of my Interfaces are impacted as well.  Also, all databases.  I have submitted an Issue Ticket to Airtable Support.Any ideas as to the cause?  Am I overlooking something?  Is this a bug introduced with Airtable’s latest release?  Any recommendations?

Good day.There's an issue across the board when it comes to creating new records. It used to be that a person would fill the details and then click on the "x", which would create a record. This no longer works.Now it shows a 'create' button when the Interface is in the Edit Mode but doesn't appear when published? This is a big problem since no-one can create records via the Interface Designer!    

I am trying to setup our production tracker using Interfaces.  I am running into one very big issue though.  I have forms (currently in page designer) that need to be printed at certain times throughout the progress of each record.  I know I can add a URL to the button but we currently have the button setup to open that specific record in page designer and would like it to stay that way.  The button does not have to open to page designer if there is another solution that would pull data from that record and put it on a page that can be printed.  I am unsure if a script or API would accomplish this but would appreciate any help.

Okay, this is another one that I feel weird asking. I can't imagine I'm truly the first person asking... I've poked around here, Reddit, etc. and I haven't seen a direct answer so I'm asking— and apologizing if I'm being a goober who missed the super-clear response in some other post/exchange.  Sooooo, Obsidian! Know it? Part of my problem is that I don't quite know how to phrase my question....Short and direct: is there an extension that will allow me to visualize my table/base like the graph view of Obsidian? I already have a big base where I keep notes, ideas, etc. It goes like this (roughly):Notes Tablenotetype (multi-select)topic (linked field)connections (linked field)creators (linked field)Topics tableincludes connectionsCreators Table(I'm not baking out the whole base here because I'm not sure it's needed, but I'm happy to

We're trying to increase adoption of using our interfaces to update project status - it would be great if we could have our status field anchored in the interface header and be editable!Even having it in the first section isn't working for the team - they need it in their face 🙂

After figuring out how to get the URL for individual sidesheets, and attaching that URL to a button and using the 'Open URL in record' action, the correct sidesheet is opened, but only after refreshing the page.I realize this is something of a hack to get sidesheets that aren't on the page to open, but has anyone had any luck preventing the page from refreshing, but rather just open the requested sidesheet as usual?Open url in new tab is unchecked. 

Hello the Airtable Community! I’m working on a series of Airtable interfaces to handle different aspects of projects. It’s a kind of top-down structure, with interfaces drilling down into linked records e.g. clients > projects > invoices. The typical interfaces structure looks like this: Client A (Interface I) – Project A (Interface II) — Invoice A (Interface III) Client B (Interface I) – Project B (Interface II) — Invoice B (Interface III) To navigate between interfaces in the same client / project context, I’m using record pickers. At the moment, I manually pick the relevant record with the record picker and copy the URL parameters generated by Airtable back to my Airtable base. With such hardcoded URL parameters, I can repeatedly achieve the navigation flow that I’m eventually aiming for. Is there a way to do this “properly” dynamic, with a native Airtable function (such as RECO

Hi there,Last week I was able to change the color of each interface, as desired. I have searched high and low and can't find how to change the color in the new design, so I'm stuck with boring grey. Please send help... Thanks 🙂

Since the forms layout in the interface is so limited (no ability to add new records in a linked table, no options for lists, grids, etc...), I'm basically using the record details layout as a form for new records entry. The problem is that the solution isn't very elegant. My users have to add a record to a list, and then open the blank record to get into the details. Any idea how to implement a page that would act as a record details form without getting there from a list or grid?

Hello! I am creating a bar chart and am running into a confusing issue. I am trying to basically remove the x-axis values from a chart but cannot do so. I am thinking it a difference in how Airtable stores the fields being used in charts? I am not sure. Any thoughts are helpful!I am basically trying to recreate this table using a different table: But this is the result I am getting: 

I need urgent help, yall - all of a sudden a List-based Interface page won't filter.  Here's the deal:I created the List layout in Interface, set my table to Tasks, configured all the visible fields and sorting options.  I want to add a dropdown for the Project Category field which is a lookup field in my tasks table.  The base structure looks like this:Projects > Milestones > TasksSo I lookup the project via the milestone in the task table and use that for the dropdown in the layout.This has worked for the last 10 days I've been using it.  Today it doesn't work.  Choosing an option in the dropdown doesn't affect my list at all.I have also used the built-in filter option to do the same filter and it doesn't work either.Filtering in the base itself works exactly as expected and the other Interface page filter options all work as expected.I created a brand new page with the same settings and it doesn't wor

I want to populate a calculated field using data input into other fields.Example: Q1 = XYZQ2 = ABCCalculated Field = Q1&Q2 = XYZABCIs this possible to achieve in either an interface or a form?Thanks!   

Is there a way to jump directly to an interface page from the record currently selected in the data table.IE, when you select an interface, it displays the data from the currently selected record.
