Interface Designer

I have an interface where the vast majority of elements are “wide”, but I want to add 6 little donut charts that appear way too large (with a lot of whitespace) when I choose the wide option. But when I select “narrow” on the layer/grouping that contains the 6 donut charts, it centre aligns them on the page making it look wrong against all the other wide elements that start on the left-hand side of the page. How can I force a narrow layer (i.e. a grouping with a dotted-line outline) to be aligned left like the wide elements? Unless I’m missing something it seems impractical to use both narrow and wide on the same interface without having a very clumsy looking design. Thanks for any thoughts!

Hey all, Within forms in the interface designer, is there anyway to display any additional data on a Linked Field? share.cleanshot.com CleanShot 2022-09-27 at 08.37.11 GIF uploaded to CleanShot Cloud For example, here I’d like to show the customers name (which is a field in the linked field table), not just customer code. Thanks!

I have an issue regarding Airtable Interface. When i am in a record view interface" and i add a form to create an new record in a linked table, the new record is NOT LINKED BY DEFAULT to the current record. It means you can create an record with the form and not see it in your interface because it’s not connected to the current record. Please tell me that the prefilled feature is on the roadmap, otherwise it makes the interface form really annoying to use. “annoying” is a gentle word compared to what my clients said.

I have a question: If I duplicate an Interface (Design 1 & Design 1 copy), will the Design 1 copy change when I make changes to Design 1?

What does the lock icon practically mean? I’d like to share the published interface with colleagues for them to search a record list and then click a link. Does the lock icon mean this is not possible?

Hello, I’m designing an interface for my organization where I want people to be able to edit the field values in a grid. However, it appears that people accessing the interface will also have the ability to edit the field descriptions. Is there a way to lock the field descriptions but still allow edit access to the field values? If this is not currently possible, could this be a feature in the future?

I have a table with a linked field. I want to update that table and change the value of that linked field. Specifically, the Family table has a field linked to the Worker table (single selection only). In a grid view, I can readily delete the worker and add a new one (airtable gives me a list to choose from). However, in my interface that I use to edit the family, that worker field does not show me all of the values available from the Worker table. It only shows the one already chosen. I’ve tried having another element on the interface that is connected to the worker field and then having a button to run an automation to update the Family table. I haven’t been able to get that to work and I feel that I must be missing something. Any suggestions? thx!

I have dates on two tables and I want to get the sum of a different number on each table. I have a task table with a date on it and a field that has the duration of the time expected to complete the task in interger format. I have another table that pulls in my google calendar. It has dates on it and a field with a duration on it in interger format. I want create a grid that gives me the next two weeks day by date and the sum of those two duration fields. Is this possible? What is the easiest way to do it?

Necesito hacer un dashboard de graficas con airtable, pero con la extension de airtable puedo hacer este tipo de graficas con muchos parametros en una sola metrica, pero no me deja hacer muchas graficas. En interfaces puedo hacer un tablero con muchas graficas pero son algo pobres, que me recomiendan. En la 1er imagen es en interfaces, es dificil tener la visualización completa con mi equipo de trabajo. Y deseamos ver más amplia la información. En la 2da imagen se puede ver muy bien la grafica, pero esta hecha con la extension de airtable y necesitamos tener muchas de estas, para formar un tablero.

Some of my records are not coming up when I search for a part of their name in the record picker. I double-checked and it does not have a filter, so it should be able to return everything in the table. I can get shipment #12760 by pasting in the full name of the shipment. When I search using just the reference number 12760, however, it gives me no results. I only have one shipment with this number in the name. For other shipments, typing in the reference number is enough to bring it up the corresponding record. I’m not sure what the difference is between the shipments that work and the shipments that fail.

In my table 2 has some records along with their comments and these records are connected with table 1. for example 3 records which are connected with a1. Now I want to access comments of those 3 records in the interface via a1. I don’t wanna read individual comments going each record instead by clicking just a1, I should have access those comments.

Dear all, I just experience strange behavior of elements in interface designer. Not only one base, or one specific interface, it’s all. Element says" Element had an internal error". Anyone see same?

I’m creating an input form for a trading journal. I’m inputting the quantity and the price, but i want to display the calculation directly on the input form. Is that possible?

A couple of the most convenient things I found in Airtable are the little previews when adding a linked record and then the expanded views that are available with a click. I wanted to make sure those previews were displaying the most helpful information and that the expanded view was ordered in a way that made sense, despite the varying field order amongst the different views. I realized the following: Expanded View of a Linked Record accessed from a Table The order and visibility will match that of the first view of that table. With hidden fields moved to the bottom. Preview of a Linked Record The fields previewed will match the first fields within the first view of the table regardless of visibility I’ve been calling this first view of a table, an “Index View” because in some cases, they serve no purpose to me other than establishing field orders. My question is, do the expanded view within Interfaces follow any similar protocol? Expanded View of a Linked Record accessed from an Inte

I have an interface that shows some records. The buttons in the right upper corner should modify the record. The record has a field called status. If the status of the record is “pending”, then the record should display in this interface. When any of the two buttons get hit, the record should be remove since the status of the record is modified and is no longer “pending”. Everything is working fine at this point. But if I try to finish up with all the records, the buttons are still clickable and the fields of the last record are still showing up. By clicking it once it should be gone and not able to modified it again.

ASK: I would like to build out an interface for employees where a number element displays how many hours they’ve worked in the present week - this way, they can see if they are meeting their hourly targets (on a weekly basis). I have a base where users (employees) can track their time using the Time Tracker extension. In this architecture, there are 2 relevant tables: a Tasks table that shows the employee’s task list and a Timesheets table that houses their clocked time. First, in the Tasks table they click a button that runs a script that creates a record in the Timesheets table that is parented to the task. Then they start the time tracker, and the duration data is stored in that Timesheets record (but this way, they can have multiple time entries for a single task). In the interface, I can create a number element whose source is the Timesheets table and that performs a Field Summary (Sum) on the Duration field in that table. The filter is currently set to where the Create Date (a

Hi, I looked for something similar, but could not find it, so I guess I’ll ask :slightly_smiling_face: Let’s say I have a two tables: [Projects] and [Tasks] where each Task has a “Project” linked field. What I want, is to make an interface where I select a Project from a Record Picker and it will show me a grid with related tasks, where I can edit and add new tasks for this particular project. I tried using a Filter, but since “Project” it’s a linked field - it does not allow the user to pick a project from the dropdown but it forces them to type in project name. So this will not fly. I would love any suggestions.

Be able to put a kanban in interface designer would be great for collaboration.

Hi there, I’m creating a simple stock control for a small warehouse, so i have an interface, with a gallery that is pre filtered to only show records with the stock status “pending” Now i’m wanting to add a number of filter options to the top of the interface to aid with searching through multiple records. For example i have included a filter that searches to see if the description contains the text that the user input into the box. You could then filter again by selecting a supplier. If i link one filter to the connected element (the gallery) it seems to unlink the second filter which means only 1 works at a time. I have also tried rather than adding in a new separate filter, adding one to the current filter, but this then creates an “AND” filter which is not correct for what i need. Are there work arounds for this?

Hello, I calculate the duration between two date fields and then make a pie chart. In some cases one of my fields is empty, which gave me a NaN result. I got around this problem by using the formula IF({Date de création de l'événement},DATETIME_DIFF( {Date de visualisation}, {Date de création de l'événement}, 'minutes')) which allows me to obtain empty values for the values without interest. When I filter the view for values between 0 and 12, I have 44 records left and on my pie chart I have 34. This is incomprehensible because by checking these 44 records all include a value between 0 and 12 whereas on my chart I would have to include the empty records to get the 44 values. But in reality I have 44 records with a value and nothing with no value inside theses 44 records… I have the impression that there is a conflict. Adding a filter to remove the empty fields also has no effect because it conflicts with the filter on the values. Thank you for your help !

Here’s my scenario: Every day I make a plan, I screenshot the plan and put it in a ‘plan’ table Every day I might make 3 trades, each of which are stored in another ‘trades’ table I have an interface where I review my daily ‘daily review’ table I would like to include in my ‘daily review’ interface, a grid showing all the trades for the day (so the daily review’ interface would need to list trades with the same date as is on the daily review table/interface. Each day could have many trades. But a specific trade can only belong to one date. I am not sure how I can do this. Can anyone help?

Im trying to develop a interface that can act as a command center for driving many of our meetings, but it requires a timeline view as well as a records list. however if I try starting with dashboard, I can add a timeline view but can not add records list. I can only add a record picker which does not work at all for this use case. if I try starting with records reviewer, I can not add a timeline view (the timeline element added here only shows the single record selected in the records list, but I want a timeline view of all records in my list) if I start from blank, its similar to dashboard… there is no records list element. am I missing something? I feel like there should be a way to connect every element to the record picker or record list of their choosing so that it allows for a mix of interface options. It would be even better if I can select a record in my timeline and have it show the data in the elements below, but that’s more wishful thinking

I am not sure if this is something that should be a feature suggestion, but i would like to make the field in interface editable dependent on a select field that I call “STATUS”. So that certain fields can be edited only when the STATUS is set to certain items.

Not sure if this is an interface specific question, but it seems like the “hidden fields” order of fields settings have changed, at least in Interfaces. It used to be that the hidden fields and field order was determined by the top most view in the table, but it looks like that may have changed? What determines that now? I find myself having to press the “show X hidden fields” button regularly now and there doesnt appear to be a way to change which fields are hidden.

Hi there, when I add new records to a table through an Interface, this doesn’t show on my original data table (i.e. when in the base, not the interface). Is there a way to sync them?
