Interface Designer

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?

Hello! I created an interface allowing to manage the holidays of the collaborators. To facilitate the processing of requests, it would be great that when a recording is selected in the left part, the timeline grouping all the requests is automatically positioned on the start date of the requested vacation period. Do you have any idea how to do this? Thanks a lot for your help!

In our base we have an attachment field which contains jpg images. When images are placed in interface designer using any of the three options, ID crops them. How to get them to display fully without cropping?

Good morning! Does anyone have any idea what will happen to interfaces created for free accounts once they (the interfaces) are no longer in beta? I have a client with the Legacy Free plan and I don’t want to set them up with a bunch of interfaces unless they’re going to be able to keep having access to them. Thanks so much and rock on, Michele

Hello! I’m working with a base that has a record of all our organization’s projects, and I’m trying to design a project-level dashboard where people can go in, select the project they want from the record picker, and see all the relevant info for that project. I have already set up the record picker and added some key project fields, but also want to include a timeline element based on key dates. To do this, I’ve tried clicking on Add element > All elements > Timeline and adding it to the dashboard. The problem is that this displays a timeline for all projects, and is not filtered to the project already selected in the record picker. Is there a way to link my record picker to the timeline element? I tried editing the filter on the timeline element and connecting the record picker as a filter element, but that doesn’t seem to be doing anything. Thanks!

There doesn’t seem to be a way to create a new record with Interface Designer other than the button attached to the record picker. This is too bad because the record list is an elegant navigation element, but it’s redundant if you add a record picker pointed to the same table. And although there may be a good reason for this, they don’t sync. Also, unlike other elements, you can’t delete a record list, so it looks like I’ll have to create a new Interface from scratch. Someone please tell me I missed these. :fearful:

Hi guys. I’m not very well versed with the jargon so I apologize in advanced. So I want to use the record picker interface template as a score updater. I’ll do my best to explain what I want. Each record points towards a player or participant. When a participant’s record is chosen one of the fields displayed is their current score. The score is used to “purchase” prizes, and they can come back multiple times to “purchase” prizes. So I want a field where we can enter the value of the prize, and when a button element is pressed, it deducts that value from the player’s score, and then becomes blank. I understand there might be work that has to be done on the table itself to make it work maybe, but I’d appreciate any help with this problem.

Begun playing around with interfaces on Airtable. Is there a way to integrate a map view onto an individual record? You can see an example below that would make sense.

Hello I like Interface Designer but a particular problem for me is that it appears I can’t add a field from a linked (to single record) table without first creating a new linked field. This means that my table gets massively overloaded with unnecessary fields. It would be great to add in the option of displaying any field from a linked record (where that link is to a single record, so 1>1 or many>1 type)

I don’t want to increase the width of the element, but the Label text isn’t wrapping. What am I missing here?

Please see the image below. I live in Australia and would like dates displayed DD/MM/YYY. This is formatted correctly in the base as seen in the support image. My interface displays the date correctly, however on my colleagues, it displays it as MM/DD/YYY. The most unusual part of this is that there are multiple dates and dates of birth in this interface and base, and this is the only value that does this. Any suggestions?

Hi, Is there a way in a long text to change the character font (put Arial or Calibri for example) and to change the color of words? Thank you Alex

Hello, I am having an issue with the Record Review Interface, I will try my best to describe it. The high level idea for our interfaces is a home page for our Project Managers; this lists various information about their project, tasks needing to be done, etc. From this “home page” they can click buttons that jump to different Record Review interfaces where they can perform their task. For example, on my homepage I may have “Projects #1-#4 need closing” - I click the button, it takes me to the “Project Closeout” Record Review interface, and the 4 projects are listed on the record picker element. I can click each project, and closeout what I need to. The problem occurs if I jump to another page. For example, after I close out Project #4 above, I go to my homepage and see “Project #5 and #6 are needing milestone updates”,

For the last day or so, my interfaces have stopped syncing in real time with changes to the actual base. When I make changes in the standard table interface, the record list updates automatically to match the sorting and filtering criteria. However, the interface refuses to do that until I refresh, which somewhat defeats the purpose. I thought it might be a browser issue, but I tried multiple browsers and the same thing happens.

I’m trying to create a line graph that shows the growth of the sum total number of records (in this case interactions) over time. So the X-axis would be dates and the Y axis would be a sum total of all the records. For instance, if there are 5 interactions in Week 1 and then 7 interactions in week 2, the week 1 number would be 5 but the week 2 number should be 12 (5 + 7). If week 3 had 7 more interactions, it should be 19 (12 + 7). As far as I can tell this is impossible in Airtable interfaces. Does anyone have a similar problem or potential workaround?

From studying the tutorials on Interface Designer, the following is not clear to me: Is it possible to build a customer portal with the Interface Designer that only shows an email/password sign in the first customer view and only then the more advanced UI according to the table data which delivers the content? I appreciate any help or suggestions.

I have a field where I’ve placed a URL type Button to open the record in an Interface I’ve built. The interface has a dropdown with the record name field available and when I pick a record from that dropdown, the Interface loads the correct data and displays it correctly. When I launch the Interface from the record Button in the table, the record ID passed to the Interface does not seem to correspond to any real record and so the Interface is blank. I can then use the dropdown to pick the record I planned to have open automatically and I see that the record ID in the URL is not the same as what came from the table Button. The Button URL Formula is: 'https://airtable.com/appHbz38Nlvcyl3DR/pag3PeLHRalQ8SakJ?GUu5w=' & RECORD_ID() (note: for safety, I’ve changed some of the letters in the URL above–but you get the idea) Why won’t this launch the Interface with the chosen record already open?

I have three separate filters set up on record view, however they don’t seem to be working correctly. In the attached, I’ve set the Estimators filter to display results for records that have no Estimator assigned. However, records with Estimators are still being displayed. I presume the Type filter (second filter) is taking precedence over the Estimators filter? All three filters are set as the default ‘Where’ action; it doesn’t give me the option to change this, only add additional conditions to each. Any help appreciated, TIA!

Hi I have a content planning base and I want to create an interface with a chart showing page views for published stories. The stories need to be arranged by date ascending order, but the display label needs to be the title of the piece of content. Is it possible to do this? Thanks! David

I have an interface where I will put a text field with a link, I would like the link to open just like a new window opens when we want to open with facebook or google

Make it so that each record on a view has it’s own interface that can be shared by link (same way that we can share a certain view of records), Make it so that the interface can be shared by embedding into a website (same way that we can embed from a view now), Chiming in to say that I really appreciate this new feature– I have been very much in need of this exact thing. EXCEPT, the lack of ability to share that with people who are not on AT pretty much ruins it for me. Here is how I am using this: I run a company that has many consultants who run trainings for us, and we have base that is a list of everyone’s assignments, that we share in calendar view. Each event has a very long record attached to it because it holds all of the info needed to run that training. At the moment, the trainer goes to the calendar, clicks on that event, and then has to scroll through the record and read all the info. It’s not ideal because wit

I am test-driving Airtable and I have set up an Interface. But instead of just being able to search through one column (Names, Last Names etc). I want to find a match anywhere in the record. There is no Search Element only a Record Picker. Any ideas, anything that I missed? Valence.

Hey, I have moved to air table from a Microsoft access database I built for my service business. I am overall very happy with air table and the new benefits e.g. being able to intergrade with other cloud service; is amazing. I have found ways to implement the functionality using automations and the interface system but compared to the old system but the overall experience still feels a bit clunky and disjointed. An example of one of my gripes is being able to filter records quickly. In my old system I just typed a couple of words in a search box and it would filter the records for me instantly. I know you can do this with the air table filters but you have to open the filter first, create your filtering criteria and then manually delete your inputs afterwards, it just feel clunky to me… I suspect I could make things slicker by learning scripting but before going down that route is there a third party ‘front end’ service with search/filtering that I should consider? th

here you can see a simple graph that shows the data fed from the Paid Client Type field and just shows the X-axis value. I’m not sure if I have to build a couple fields to give me a total percentage of the records or not. I’d like to be able to display what the percentage of these totals are.

Bonjour, quelques question sur les interfaces : Est-il possible de partager une “interface” sans que les personnes puissent aller dans la “base” ? Est-il possible que seul le “owner” puisse partager une interface ? je trouve un peu risqué que n’importe qui puisse partager une interface, et donc la base finalement. Merci pour votre retour !
