Interface Designer

Here’s a wishlist item for interfaces — having them be more integrated with my base so that I can easily jump from an interface view to an ordinary table view. Maybe being able to add an interface as a tab along with the tables? Or being able to put quick-links from the interface to some commonly used tables I might want to jump to? I really love interfaces :heart_eyes:

Hi there - we’d like to create specific interfaces that our contractors can use to update their personal availability and view their ongoing contracts without being able to see information about the other contractors. We have one base with information about all of our contractors and have shared specific views with each of them so they can only see their info. Is there a way to share an interface view with a specific user or will they have access to all views?

Since Bill French’s prediction 268 days ago, I opened every day my AIRTABLE Community window hoping that it would appear in flashing golden letters. As the October 2021 Airtable news was less numerous than the previous months, I told myself that the day I hoped for was perhaps very close: something exceptional could appear in November! Party! It finally happened! Historical AIRTABLE’s VIEWs: In my modest opinion, I presume that the AIRTABLE VIEW which is a major attraction of the platform must have existed from its first weeks of public life, at least long before 2019, (august 2019 when I had finally found what I was looking for without finding it : AIRTABLE ! in an article dedicated to another theme : Document As An App.) But from where I stand, the historical VIEW seems to have been designed and built in such a way that it has always resisted to be managed, to be manipulated by any Scripting API and that it was not designed to match one day Bill FRENCH’s prediction of being offered a

Hi, this is a feature request. I think it would be great if (the first) filtered result would be auto-selected in the ‘Record view’ Interface template. In the template we have a filter. The results of the filtered are shown in the ‘Record list’ element. When you select a result, it’s details are shown on the rest of the screen. The problem arises when you change what you have already filtered and been viewing. You have filtered something, viewed it, then you change the filter… but the record being shown remains the same. Take it from me this confuses users + it’s not really necessary for the record to remain beingshown on the screen. I mean, if the user decides to filter something else, they probably don’t want to view the old record anymore. If you work for Airtable, read this, and are confused, I can make a video to demonstrate this.

Liking it so far but: Will the interfaces be available on mobile? So many of us use AirTable on our phone’s primarily. Do they work on the desktop app or only browsers? Will button fields work? If you use the comment field and someone gets notified, is there any way to make the link in the notification go to the interface instead of the table? Can we create records in the interface? Any list of future enhancements?

I love that new Current User variable, but I can’t find a way to take advantage of it because my interface filter criteria isn’t on a collaborator field but instead is on a formula field that determines the “current owner” of a task based on a set of criteria (the output always matches collaborator names). Maybe could set up an automation to set a new collaborator field to match the formula field, but that feels clunky and unreliable, if it’s possible at all. Any ideas?

Using Interface Designer, you can create interfaces right from your Airtable bases, no code required (IN BETA). To learn more about using this feature, read our support articles . To ask questions about using Interface Designer, post in the Interface Designer community category.
