Interface Designer

Hi all, I'm looking for a solution to the following - When someone on my team is mentioned in the comments on a project they are a collaborator on, it sends them an email notification. In that email notification it links to the actual data section of the base in an expanded record view. Is it possible to get it to link to the page of an interface instead? Or to turn off those notifications and set up an email automation instead? I don't want them using the data section of our base.thanks,Megan

I am designing an interface that contains a grid. I attempt to reorder the grid columns by grabbing the dots to the right of the name and manually reordering, but after changing the order it snaps back to how it was originally. I am not sure whether this is a bug or not. It occurs in the standalone Airtable Windows app and web based chrome.

Hi! I am hoping someone can help me. Currently, we have Everhour turned onto run on our task list in our Airtable Database. I would like the same button "start time" to exist on the corresponding Airtable interface, but I can't find any articles on that. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks! Brianne 

Until yesterday when I clicked on Interfaces in the base I got a screen with all my interface icons, both published and unpublished.  Suddenly that is gone and I get dropped into one of my interfaces with no ability to see my unpublished ones.  Anyone know what happened and how to access unpublished ones?  

If you share a read-only Interface, is the person with read-only access required to create an Airtable account? I wish to share an interface, but I don't want the read-only user to create an Airtable account and login each time they have to view the Interface.

If I have a field of type "Link to..." only the ID appears in the search modal, I have no way to choose which other fields to appear:Instead I have a way to make other fields appear in the detail view:

Simple thing I'd like to do: Display the current date (and possibly time) on an Interface screen (blank template).  I created a field in the base that shows the date, but there's no way to display a single field.  I looked at the text object but there's no way to enter a formula in that object.Anyone accomplish this before?  TIA!

It is so frustrating that it's 2023 and AirTable can not group data along x-axis in graphs, forcing you to make several/many graphs to compare data. For example I want x-axis to be product lines, but for each product line it should have multiple bars for each year, and the y axis is revenue. This way you can see performance across each product line across each year for comparisons without making multiple graphs is there an alternative way to get data to do this

Hi All, I have a base and there I have information about customers.Each customer has associated different tables with information like contacts, references/products, payments, invoices, order history, samples, etc.I want to know if  I can make a dashboard (with interfaces) that integrates the information of all the tables related to a customer, and I can see everything mentioned in a single view panel.Thanks, J

The Airtable product team track record continues to baffle...I suddenly got the new record details layout experience, and although a bit surprised after having no mention of it in the What's New July 2023 edition that went out barely a week earlier, I was initially excited. The redesign is clearly inline with the record detail view on mobile devices (hinting at mobile interfaces coming soon??)...That is until I realized that it completely broke the ability to change edit permissions on linked record fields where the records are one-way synced from another base. As in, if you had fields that were set to editable before this update, they are stuck on being editable, and if you have non-editable ones or try to add new ones, they are stuck on being non-editable.If you hover over the "Allow users to link/unlink existing records" switch you see this message: "Users can't link/unlink existing records because this table is synced from

I'm just gonna lead with this... I HATE AIRTABLE... and I mean I HAAAAAAATE AIRTABLE. I'm forced to use it but I can't stand it. It is THE most clunky P.O.S. website I have ever seen and of course this point is driven home on a daily basis. I'm trying to delete an interface or unpublish it, but for some unknown reason, I cannot seem to find the interface menu to let you do this anyway. I searched the forums and the documentation for these elusive "3-dots" I'm suppose to see next to the interface name, but I don't see them.Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, so I can get pass this and not have to deal with this crappy website for another month. 

I have 3 tables - projects, tasks, showsRecords in projects and records in tasks are linked to shows.I'd like to have an interface where I can see all of the projects and all of the tasks related to a show on the same page.Is there a way to use the filter = show name, to then show a grid of the projects and a grid of the shows with that show name?  

how to move date in calendar view from right side(picture 2 date is on right side causing confusion) of the box to left side (picture number 1)thank you

Hi there, Apologies if this is a bit elementary: I've created a URL field in a base, and I want to create a button in an Interface that will reference the link inside it and when clicked, take you to that page in a new tab. However, whenever I click "Go to URL in Record" option, it says unconfigured source and nothing comes up.  How do I fix this?  Thanks, Peter

Hi Community,I have interface with many layouts and with most, I have to allow users to (+ Add Records )  but then if they x out of that window it still creates an empty record and links it! how can I prevent this behavior and still give users the ability to link and or create new records from that button? If users change their minds and decided not to create a new record and just click the X button without putting any data records still getting created! Appreciate any input

I would like to change the colour of my interface tiles.I see I can change the icon, but not the colour.Any tips?

hello,I have a project tracking tool in airtable and am trying to track project status over time. basically a cumulative chart of projects open and closed over time, something similar to this:Basically, I need a collum with time another with running totals for open projects, and another for closed projects, and then chart these. Ideally, I would love to have this in an interface chart.is there a way to achieve this, I have seen similar questions but so far I have not seen a straightforward answer.  

I have a field that links to another table (Initiatives) in my Budget table. In my interface, I'm trying to filter certain components by which ones have a certain initiative in that field. But, when I go to add an initiative to the filter, nothing shows up, so I can't actually filter by it.Does anyone know why this might be happening? Trying to use anything other than "has any of" seems to make me have to type it (and still nothing shows up), and I'd rather it be more like a drop-down.Thanks! 

Hi, I have two tables with 50,000 records each (limit reached) and I want to get metrics from the two tables together.For example, I want to know how many people are in the "in progress" status of the two tables, therefore, it would have to be set at 100,000 records and count how many people are in that state.I know I could download all the data and calculate metrics in another software (like excel), but it would be great if I could do the whole thing in airtable 

I'm trying to figure out how to control what gets displayed on the records shown in the record selector within an Interface on the edit record or form creation page when you have a linked record field on them. Right now I'm only seeing the record name displayed, but there's space for more info. I'm just not sure how I get it to display more stuff. Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

I have two tables. Purchases and Expenses, which tracks all my expenses (using date, amount, description, value, etc) and Account Tracker, which, based on Purchases and Expenses, calculates all my current balance (for checkings accounts) and remaining balance (for credit accounts).I want to create a financial burndown chart, with the current/remaining balance for Y-axis and the expense date for the X-axis, but I have no idea how to do that. Can you help me?

I'm wondering if there's any way to apply templates not just to the creation of new records in an Interface, but also to the edit page of a record within the Interface? We have a good bit of conditional logic on the create a record form for a table with the Interface, which works really great, but then on the record edit page we have to display all the fields that might be needed, regardless of the logic that was selected when creating the record. Some fields don't apply to certain records and others do and it would be great to be able to display an edit page for records based on the template or logic conditions used when creating it so that only certain fields display based on the selections made in fields above it. Thanks!

I've copied a base over (and associated interface) - and whilst I can change the base colour, the icon stays the original colour.I have the option in the interface setting to change icon - but not change the colour. Am I missing something, or has that option been accidentally dropped off with an update?

Hi,I think I have an issue with filter modules in interface : - One of my filter is connect to an element but when I try to filter, there is no effect on the showing list- I've tried to add an other filter, but when I connect it to an element, the first one disconnect Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong ?Thank you !

Is it possible to limit the Condition filter On the interface to a view or specific records ie, not select archived records, ie Linked fields condition filter has any of = view in linked field table?
