Interface Designer

I have a view on an interface for a large database of plays that I want to group by their playwrights. I have added in a user action that allows this to happen. However I have to click ‘Group’ and select ‘Group by Writer’ every time I open the interface. Is there any way to ‘lock’ this grouping so that the plays are grouped in this way every time I open the database? The first picture is how I’d like the database to open and the second is how it does open (where I then have to manually group them).Grouped Airtable Ungrouped Airtable​​​​​  

Hello!In the interface, I have a kanban section with some cards where 4 fields shows, aside from the name of the cards. Now my problem is that those fields also show their title.So at the moment it look like this:Garry’s PubTypeCADAddress157 Rue de VilléCityMontréalBut I want it to look like this:Garry’s PubCAD157 Rue de VilléMontréalAnd I cannot find the option to hide the field titles anywhere.Anybody with better luck than me here? 

Trying to find a solution to always show every month in a range. Pivot tables don’t provide any customization for this, so I am trying to reimagine data in a dashboard/interface bar chart. There is an option to show empty records, but as you can see its still skipping months. This is a single select field, with every month as an option. I want to see months that are missing any selections. I’ve also tried it with a date field updated to bucket by month, but still same issue. What am I missing?

Hi all Does anyone know if Airtable has considered other options for date pickers?Currently it doesn’t allow for choosing years (which you usually can on typical date picker forms). So unless you use your keyboard, it’s not practical to move to other years or even months ahead. Looking forward to your thoughts. Soeren

I have been working on a few bases an just want a steer on best practice re conditional logic on forms for Interface users.So for example if I have two record pickers on the form, one is to select Client, then there is one to select a project, I only want to see Projects relating to the client that I have chosen aboveIt seems that I can’t really do this with a native Airtable form, but I have been able to do it with Fillout forms, which is great for forms being used by external users, such as customers.My question is how do people provide this functionality to internal interface users?  Do you have to link out to the Fillout form from the interface or can it be embedded within the interface in some way.  I am on a Team plan. Thanks  

Hello,We run a residential real estate sales business and have our office lead interface set up with the “current user” permission level. We’re encountering an issue where users in teams (e.g., lead agents, co-agents, and admins) can’t view and manage leads assigned to other team members, even though it's relevant to all parties involved.For example, we assign leads to the main sales agent, but if the agent is out of the office, we want to allow their co-agent or admin to view and accept the lead on their behalf. The team members currently get notified of new leads via and automation where they are cc’d into an email, but they currently can’t access, accept or manage the lead in the agent's interface as its only visible to the lead agent.Is there a way to set up team-based user permissions, or link team members one another so they can access each other’s data without creating separate interfaces for each agent or team? For reference, we are on the Enterprise Scale plan, so we should ha

Hi everyone,I’m trying to build a chart in Airtable Interfaces to compare three values for the same category: Budgeted amount Consumed amount Imputed amount Right now, in Interfaces I can only create basic charts (bar, line, pie, donut, scatter), but I haven’t found a way to display these three values together as grouped series in a single chart.Ideally, I’d like to have something like a grouped bar chart or a pivot-style view, where for each budget item I can quickly see the three numbers side by side.Is there any way to do this directly in Interfaces? Or maybe through a workaround (extensions, pivot table, or calculated fields) that can then be brought into the Interface view?Thanks a lot for any tips or examples!

Hey everyone – I’ve been an Airtable user for the past year and overall my experience has been enjoyable!This could totally be my own naiveté from being new to database creation, but I’ve been quite confused over what seems to be a lack of accessible resources for Airtable user-created bases + templates for active users to share with each other.The Universe page, which appears to have been initially meant for that, seems to be almost entirely abandoned and in comparison, other popular platforms have these open-ended community sections with thousands of user-created bases and templates (the majority being free downloads). Any related questions, comments, or if you are able to clarify would be greatly appreciated… thank you! *Additional info: my project’s primary goal is a database collection of beauty brands + cosmetics products.  

Hi, I'm getting an error message when trying to create another forms. I already have 50 forms but need more.Can't find the info.Thank you,

Looking for a solution to display Airtable data in full RTL (Right-to-Left) layoutHi everyone,  I'm looking for a website or tool that can display Airtable data in a full RTL format — not just aligning the text to the right, but also reversing the column order, so the layout is fully suitable for RTL languages like Hebrew or Arabic.  Does anyone know of a platform or workaround that supports this kind of RTL presentation?  Thanks in advance!

I have an interface set up showing our contacts and associated interactions with them. There are two levels of hierarchy. At the top (Level 2) is "People" and under that is Level 1 "Interactions". These levels are linked by a common Interactions column. I've enabled the download .csv option.However, the resulting .csv file only reflects the shown information on the "Interactions" level (level 1) and shows none of the info from "People (Level 2). What am I doing wrong?To help illustrate, my Interface List could look like the one outlined below, but in the .csv file, only the info related to interactions will show up (with the correct corresponding column names).^ Person A Name              Person A Email          Interaction Name            Interaction Type            Interaction Date       Interaction Name        &nbsp

Hi everyone,I've noticed that in Airtable forms or when entering data into a Linked Record field, there’s currently no native way to copy and paste multiple records at once, or to select multiple records in a single action—other than selecting them one by one.I was wondering if anyone has found a workaround, automation, or clever trick to make this process easier. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,Is there a way that I can create an interface’s record detail page that auto populates the fields and their order, based on that corresponding grid/list? I’m familiar with the various layouts of the record detail pages that can be saved, duplicated, edited, etc. But it would be really helpful if a new record detail page could automatically be created based on that current grid and/or list view, without the builder having to create that new layout every time.Thanks for any tips! 

Hi! I’m building an internal interface for my team to manage tasks. While I love the clean look of Interfaces, it’s frustrating that we can’t manually reorder records (drag-and-drop) within a list or table.In the base view, we can reorder records manually, but in Interfaces we’re stuck with sorting rules or creation order, and new records always go to the bottom.For teams using Interfaces to manage workflows (without exposing the full base), this feature would be incredibly helpful.Are there any plans to enable manual ordering or drag-and-drop within Interfaces in the near future?Thanks!

Hi Airtable Community,I’m trying to use the prefill feature in Airtable for a form, but I’m running into an issue. I want to prefill a field that is a record selector, but the selector has a filter applied. When the filter is active, the prefill doesn’t seem to work as expected.Has anyone found a way to prefill a filtered record selector in a form, or any workarounds for this limitation? Any advice or examples would be really appreciated!Thanks in advance!Nico 

The user field options on our interface incorrectly display all previous accounts, even those that have been removed. This issue only affects the interface, not the data view. How can we resolve this.  

I have created an interface with a grid of all my contacts and deals, not sorted or filtered in any way so that I can just go in and see certain records that I need.I created a filter for each of these lists and want to have the ability to filter depending on what I'm looking for at the time. However the filters I'm creating aren't dynamic.If I want to filter by "created date", I need a specific filter for that. If I want to filter by "Total Revenue" I need another one, and so and and so forth.Can't I just create one filter and then when I'm using it select which field to filter by? Seems awfully redundant the way I currently have to use it.

Dear Airtable Team,I have encountered some difficulty when working with tables that have many columns. Currently, to view the information on the far right, I can only use the mouse to drag the horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the webpage. This method is inefficient and somewhat inconvenient.I would like to suggest considering improvements to the horizontal scrolling functionality, such as: Enabling horizontal scrolling of the table using the mouse wheel; Alternatively, implementing a canvas-like mode similar to Photoshop, where holding the spacebar and dragging with the left mouse button allows users to pan across the table smoothly. Such features would greatly enhance the convenience and efficiency of navigating wide tables. I hope you will consider and implement this suggestion.Thank you for your attention and support.Best regards,Kowal Tylerop6199@gmail.com

Hello, I’ve been using Airtable for years, but haven’t looked at Interfaces since the last massive overhaul they got. I am building a revenue model that is based on several variables: estimated pax, estimated discounts, and tentative pricing. I would like to be able to play around with different inputs for each of my products (which would be the records), and compare outputs: gross revenue, profit margin, etc. It seems to me that we did this at my old company using the old Interfaces, but now I’m at a loss figuring out how to set this up. Basically my question is which of the Interface types should I select, and where/how do I configure fields to make them editable within the Interface?

Hello Airtable Support,I noticed that in the Timeline view, it’s currently not possible to display expanded hierarchies in the same way we can in List or Grid view. Additionally, it’s not possible to double-click and edit date fields directly on the Timeline view, which would be extremely useful for making quick adjustments without switching views.Would you consider adding these capabilities in the short term? They would greatly improve workflow efficiency, especially when working with projects that have nested tasks and need rapid date updates.Thank you for your attention and for all the great improvements you’ve been making to Airtable!Best regards,

I am slightly confused as to whether this functionality exists, GPT seems convinced it does but I can’t make it work.I am on the ‘teams’ plan for reference. What am I looking to achieve:Via interfaces, filter records from my ‘People’ table. (straightforward enough) Then select these records in bulk (100+ of them). I am using a grid as this allows me to tick all the records nice an easily. The problem comes when I want to update a field for all of the selected records. The purpose of updating this field is to move them to another table - ‘Projects’.  I have found 2 potential solutions: An automation that adds a new record into the relevant project based on a dropdown.  A script trigger by a button within interfaces that moves the selected records to the designated place. The issue with both of these options is that I can’t do it on a ‘bulk’ basis. Even if I select multiple records it just wont allow me to action them all at once.Any thoughts? Is this possible or am I wasting my time?I

Are there any plans to make a more robust print/export/embed functionality in the Interface feature? I know there are some graphs that can be printed, but I want to be able to export the full Interface as a PDF. We are using the Interface for an org-wide dashboard of our shared goals and the best way I could figure out how to do it was to take screenshots and recreate it in a separate program, which in addition to being cumbersome, creates a low-quality final product. Can you please prioritize this feature so we can use the interface as a share-able dashboard with a broader audience? We don't want to have to have everyone in our org to have to log into Airtable to see the dashboard, we want to be able to embed, print, and share.

Hello, I have built an interface on top of a table. Within this table I have dates and I have put a column formula to get the week number. I've created a chart in the interface and I'd like a drop-down that filters by the week number but currently only allows me to filter by the date. Please help.

Airtable has two nice features:In Interfaces you can launch a “Create Record Form” from an existing record and it will pre-populate the “parent” record value in the appropriate field. In Data Tables when using a Link field (to another table) you can specify a filter, to limit which records are displayed. However, these two features do not appear to be compatible 🙁 Worked Example:I have a Team Placement table, which links People records to Team records. I have an interface which lists the current Teams, from the record view I can launch the “Create Team Placement” form and the Team field is pre-populated. However, I want to have a filter on the table level to only allow “Active” Teams to be selectable. When I add this filter at the table field level and then re-launch the “Create Team Placement” form, this time the Team field is pre-populated with "Unnamed team” - even though the Team that should be pre-populated is “Active”. Has anyone else encountered this issue? More importantly, ha
