Interface Designer

Hi there. Has anyone figured out how to filter records in Interfaces for current week? I want to summarize values for this ongoing week and don't really know how right now. Thanks!

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.

Is it just me or is this the worst placed delete button ever? That's where the close button goes, guys... Good job there's an undo feature! 

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?

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?

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?

I need to be able to interface general information, name, email address, title, phone number, to external clients so that they can edit the data and the changes are also automatically made on our end, on our base. 

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!   

I love how the Interface Designer allows for the pop up window to add records to a base.  This is great, I just hate that it follows the permissions set by adding into the regular base.   I don't want Staff to be able to enter a new line into the base, rather follow the steps laid out in a form.  This is why previously we used a form link to add new records.  However, the Interface Designer Add button does not allow any person to add new records into the base regardless of permissions, only those with the permission to add new records.   It should be like how the forms work. Drew

Love the new list view in the interface designer that allows for hierarchies of info, however I'm having an issue w/ formatting!  I've noticed that if I have more than 2 levels, it's the second level that has the bolded, larger heading text. This not only makes no sense, but it looks horrible and makes it visually hard to digest when one record starts and another ends in a long status list. Is there a way to make the top level have the bold heading text? 

I am running into an issue with an interface.Trying to use a form to add a record, one of the Single Line Text fields is shows as "Invalid visual variant", not allowing data to be entered.Any thoughts on how to fix this?This particular field is not linking to any other records, there is no formula associated with it either.  

Happy New Year everybody. Is there a way to justify text in Interface Designer ?

Is there any plan to add Text color option to Text Elements and X/Y axis labels in the Interface design?I am trying to create some nice dashboards for a small client to monitor the results of their surveys/questions in the surveys.The client provided feedback that bold would be a nice start to the X/Y but something other than Grey is so hard to read.  

I am working on helping to solve a paper problem to digital solution (The client had a paper template for tracking clients in various states)I haveTable 1 Contacts: Fields are:Full Name, first name, last name, phone, email, type of client and date added ( the date contact engaged with the client).I created a nice interface form with first name, last name, phone, email, type of client and date added The primary field Full Name is a function of creating Last Name, First for the record.Client loves it.I am making an Activities Table to track activities around the clients and create a form to help with adding that information to the Table.  However, I am using lookup Full Name from Contacts to be able to select the client and start the form out with some pre-populated information.If I manually select in the VIEWS side of the Table  Lookup full name - the selected additional fields are auto-populated with the data  (specifically phone and email a

Hello everyone,I am currently building a Dashboard to summarize a database with multiple revenue sources. Each of these revenue sources have a Start date and an End date, along with associated revenue calculations.I would like my Dashboard to summarize this and to allow me to place myself "within" a certain time frame.E.g I would like to see all the revenue that will be collected between January 1st, 2023, and January 31st, 2023.The problem is, some of the revenue sources are starting in December 2022 and ending mid-January,  whereas others are starting on January 28 and ending in March, etc...Is it possible for me to "scope" my Field Summaries element so that they only match a certain time range ?Thank you in advance !

At least let me re-order the interfaces that are listed.Right now it's as you create is the order that is displayedI really want interfaces that are related to each other to be next to each otherFor example New Contact at top, Lookup Contact and Activities EntryAnd the two Dashboards at the bottom.  

Trying to find a workaround for my client to be able to find and add the phone number of a Customer when they create a new Activities entry.I have already asked about pre-populating the Phone field when they select the Customer from the Contact element in the Activities form, and understand that this the form is pre-submitted so it can't do the auto-populate.Two tablesActivities (every time they interact with a Customer they w ant to document it - for billable reasons)Customer (All Customers get a base entry in this table, and what type of customer are they)I futzed around but ended up not being able to create the idea in the graphic below     It really seems like I may have to go back to doing website snippets to make this work.   

I separate data into multiple bases for ease of use, and team-split. However, I see Interfaces as a way to show data to the client (which could come from multiple bases). I don’t like having to share multiple Interfaces. Also, could Interfaces become a little bit as a customer login feature (as softr io allows)?

I would like a histogram of data from one of my bases to be publicly available, in real-time -- either on an airtable page or embedded in another webpage.I thought Interfaces would achieve this but it doesn't seem to allow fully public dashboards. Is there a way for me to make a chart of my data available to anyone on the web?

We are spending all morning desperately trying to find a way to get OUT of this hideous unwanted new interface view, and back to how things worked before.Our clients are furious at this change and our inability to revert it. We've literally spent a year in developing a product for a major client who now DOESN'T WANT IT because of this change.Does ANYONE here know how to revert this before we lose a major contract (nice timing Airtable, we're up for the 2nd year of development contracting)?We are incredibly concerned with our Airtable decision now, as this type of change means they will do it to us again and we'll end up in this situation with clients again.

Group by field is not showing a "Summary" in the interfaces graphs. Instead, show each individual record. It seems that it is a bug since the last update of Airtable, since before it worked without problems.The correct behavior that I expect is that when hovering the cursor you can see the total grouped by status and not the value of each record.

 Hi...........My logos are not loading on my extension forms. This has only started happening in the past week. i have been using Airtable since 2019 and this may have happened once before. When it happened previously I only had to reload the logos once and it never happened again until now. But once I reload them now they will last while I am using the platform but if it lies idle for a few hours the logos disappear. Please see attached picsI would really appreciate any input......thanks in advance  

Am I missing something or is it not possible for users to group inside an interface when using the grid view? I have filter, sort and search on the front end, but no group. I can only set the grouping as the interface designer. Anyone know how I can add this functionality? 

Making this note incase anyone else runs into this issue.As is listed on the Airtable website, there is a limit of 50 interfaces per base and 50 pages per interface. However, what is not made clear is what constitutes a "page". One might be mistaken to believe (understandably as I did) that "page" would be a "page" as is listed when you go to EDIT > "add page". (*sarcasm intended here)However, when in one interface I had 22 pages, my "add page" option suddenly greyed out. (see attached screenshot for reference). I tried to work with Airtable support on why this was happening, but they didn't seem to understand the issue and kept giving advice about record limits (which I am only using 3% of my 50,000 record limit and repetively explained to them that was not the issue I was asking about). But I won't comment on the unhelpful support beyond that.To help all of you who may be facing this same frustratingly bizarre problem, I'll explain what I discovered on my own. WHAT
