Interface Designer

I’m currently on the Team Plan and building a survey using Interface Forms. However, I encountered an issue where I can no longer add more elements. The error message says:“Your change was reverted because your interface is too big. Try deleting some elements.”My form currently has 249 elements, and all of them are required for the survey — so deleting any of them isn’t an option.May I ask if there’s a way to increase the element limit or an alternative solution to accommodate more questions within the same Interface Form?Thank you in advance for your help!Best regards!

Different Interfaces and Button functionality is messing with my head.  Can someone help me please.The Interface “SUB QR Management & Generation” using a Blank page view seems to be one closest view that meets my needs the most.  This is what the outcome needs are:1. Once all the Trades and Subs have been allocated for each Job within a Project, I want to generate QRs (Quote Requests) for the whole Project with one button click.2. I then want to be able to view all the QRs by Sub (with their Jobs listed, grouped by Trade) as a double-check that the QRs per Sub are correct.3. I then want to generate QR PDFs (using DocsAutomator) both by Project and individual QRs with another button.4. And finally I want to email the PDF to the Sub (individually Sub by Sub) with another button.5. This is all normally done in one sitting so I would ideally want the whole process to be on one Interface page or any solution that doesn’t require me to k

I have someone who is set as an editor, but she doesn’t have the ability to edit the form associated with the base and can’t delete columns from the base.  These seem like some basic functions and editor should have and I’m trying to figure out if I did something wrong or if creators/admin would be the only ones to be able to do those sorts of edits.  It may have been this way all along and I just never realized it until yesterday.

I have a few collaborators that have editor access, but keep getting an error message stating “You are not permitted to perform this operation” when trying to submit a form that creates a record. They can update records without any issue, but I can’t seem to get it so they can create new records.   This is through a form in an interface, but I can’t find anything that would prevent them from submitting the form. There are no restrictions within the form itself that I see. I’ve checked that they have Editor access to the specific interface, there is nothing on the interface page with the form that would allow me to make any restrictions, and I’ve confirmed the table where the record is being create allows for collaborators with editor access to create new records.  I then created it as a separate form, not within the interface and the only way we could get it to work was to open the access to anyone, which we don’t want.  Can someone point me

Hello,I am creating a management system for tracking the required materials for projects. In each project, there will be predefined material quantities needed to complete the project. When the work on a project starts, the user will generate a Purchase Order (PO) (third table) and add multiple materials through the interface. I need some help in creating this interface.The base design is as follows:I have two base tables. The first one is called the Master Material Base, and the second base is called Jupiter Castle.The structure for the Master Material Base consists of one table called the Master Material Table, which contains four fields: code, description, type, and unit. I have granted permission to share and sync this table with other basesIn the second base, Jupiter Castle, I have the following design:(First table): I have synced the Master Material Table into this base.

Good morning,we get this error since an hour on our interface designer extension ‘Sorry, an error occurred’.No further information.Any ideas, what we can do? Thanks for your help.Tobi

Is anyone aware of eitherA way to HIDE this on interfaces? It is not a good look when providing access to outside parties that this was edited by AI etc. or to have these blank boxes in interfaces. If Airtable plans to get rid of that in general? If no plans to hide that commentary, I need to adjust my layouts :)  

Hello,I'm wondering if it's possible to get a pivot view in Airtable similar to those in Excel and Google Sheets that would show multiple values ​​at once, e.g., the sum of the values ​​along with the share of the total and the percentage change year-over-year. Like in the example below.Many thanks for help

Hi everyone.  I have built a database of car images that dynamically filters models down to by the make selected, the trim by the model selected, and so on.  When I build out an interface the dynamic filtering functionality works as intended (if I select Audi in my dropdown on the interface, when I select my model filter it is automatically limited to Audi models.)  However, my issue begins when I share the interface.  Currently I’m sharing the interface to the web with password access.  My team will handle the updating of the interface, and other members of my organization will need to reference the data on a read-only basis.  However, when I send out the share link the dynamic filtering functionality of my drop down no longer function in the same way.  If I select the make Audi, the models no longer filter down to Audi models.  Is there some setting that I’m missing to enable dynamic filtering on a shared interface?

Here’s the scenario: I have a long text field (called ‘Email Draft with Placeholder’), and a formula field (called ‘Email Draft’) where I’m replacing a few placeholder key using REGEXREPLACE.I’m then displaying ‘Email Draft’ in a Record Review in the Interface. Here, it displays as expected, maintaining the new line breaks.If you copy that text (by dragging across it and CMD+C), and paste it into a Gmail new email, it all still looks good.But if I send the email, and look at what was sent, all the new lines are gone! 😱I’d be really grateful if anyone could explain what’s going on here, and how I can fix it! 

I’ve created a Shopify PIM template for e-com brands. In this template, you can find:A global dashboard with products distribution (Categories, Sales Channels, Region Catalogs...) Products catalog: a classic products catalog with an interface to easily update one or multiples products at the same time. Inventory: interfaces to manage your inventory (per location, low stock levels...). Monitoring center: to easily track last updates and missing data.Connection between Airtable and Shopify is made by SyncBase. It’s a two-way sync integration so all changes made on this Airtable PIM can sync to your Shopify store in a few seconds.Just drop a message if you want to get this template for free! All I’m asking is feedback :D

Hi,I’m a newbie and was wondering what affects the fields listed in the field selection of interface Levels. I currently have only 1 field I can choose from, where the table actually contains a number of fields. What do I need to do to be able to choose a different field? 

I’m building a simple dashboard for our executive team that includes a Number element for a currency field. The dashboard needs to work well on mobile because our execs often access it while traveling internationally.On desktop, the number element displays correctly with thousands separators (e.g., $1,284,428,043.95). However, on mobile, the formatting disappears and shows as a long unformatted number (e.g., $1284428043.95), which is hard to read.The number element is set to Summary → Sum. It’s aggregating a rollup field from another table, which is formatted as currency. The thousands separator appears fine on desktop but not on mobile.How can I get the thousands separator (comma) to appear on mobile for this number element? Is this a limitation of Airtable Interfaces on mobile, or is there a workaround?Thanks!

Hi chat, My coworkers are running into issues with the filters for their interface. They are finding that they're interface filters are resetting frequently throughout the day. Filtering is critical for our workflow and often when they're viewing their pages, it will remove their last filter. Has anyone experienced anything similar?Specific issues:Filters clear without user action. In other cases, filters revert to an old or unexpected state. For example: Our team commonly filters on the Assignee field. Most of the day, users apply Assignee = Themselves (10+ times per day). Occasionally, they apply Assignee = A Coworker (1–2 times per day). However, the Interface will often revert to the less frequently used filter (Assignee = Coworker) as the default, even when that filter has not been recently applied.What's been confirmed/tested:The issue affects multiple users across the same Interf

Hi there,  I’ve created a pie chart in my dashboard interface, and I selected a field to group records by (Gross Margin %). It seems to work well, but it sometimes displays multiples of the same value as separate slices (see multiple 14% and 40% in the legend below). Is this a bug, or am I missing something in the chart setup? I’m really confused why the same value wouldn’t group together automatically.  This is what my setup looks like: If anyone has any ideas, I’m all ears! Thanks so much :)

Hi AirTable Community, I have a commercial dry cleaning and laundry business. I’m trying to create an Airtable app that will let my clients share an itemised list of the garments they’re sending me for cleaning each day. I’d like to create an interface with a form at the top, that lets the client enter each item for cleaning with relevant detail, then a table directly below which lists each item, so they can see a summary of the data they’re inputting in real time. I’m confident about designing each element, but can’t figure out if/how I can put them on the same interface. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks! 

Hi Airtable Community,I’m trying to reproduce the Record Review layout shown in Airtable’s setup preview, the one with an employee list on the left and a large profile card on the right. In that preview image, the record detail area shows:A profile picture (Attachment field) on the leftAnd, directly to the right of it, several fields like “Team,” “Start Date,” and “Manager” displayed inline, where the field label and its value appear on the same horizontal line, for example:Team: CreativeStart date: Dec 28 2022Manager: Julia Harris I’m attempting to achieve this exact side-by-side layout in my own Interface. Here’s what I currently have:I’ve successfully positioned the Attachment field (Profile Picture) on the left, and I can place other fields (such as “Contact Type”) to its right.

Hello, I have a feature request for the form usage. I would like to have the possibility to have dynamic response in a field depending on the value provided in a previous fields. For instance if My Main category is "Product" selected from my drop down list, I would like to have only subcategories linked to "Product" available in my second drop down list. How could I do it ?

Hi everyone,I want to bring attention to a much-needed improvement for the record picker in Interface forms, as originally discussed in this post.Right now, the record picker only shows the primary field, which makes it very difficult to select the correct record when there are similar names. For example, in my school’s internal system, we manage students, courses, homework, and exams. When enrolling students or linking to assignments, we often see multiple records with identical or unclear names—and no way to differentiate them.A simple solution would be the ability to show additional fields (e.g., date, type, ID, or status) in the dropdown menu. This seems like a small change but would greatly improve usability across many use cases.

I want an interface with filters and a list of records, but I don’t want the list of records to be visible by default before applying a filter. How can I do this?”

Hello, We’d like to make our dashboards nicer by adding dynamic welcome messages that are personalized for each user. Could you pls advise me how to implement this? Appreciate your responses. Thanks a lot!   Christine

Hello,I’m looking for a way to create a schedule based on projects stored in a main list (with the project name and team assignment).I’d like to display a calendar running from 7 AM to 4 PM, Monday through Friday only.A single project may be assigned to multiple days, and I’d like the view to show: Teams arranged along the X-axis, Days of the week along the Y-axis. The planning would be managed in AirTable, but visualized in Noloco.I’ve been trying different approaches but haven’t managed to get a clear solution.If a kind soul could help me set up such an interface, it would be greatly appreciated!Gauthier Arnould

Hello! I am trying to create a line chart in an interface that shows the number of records (leads in this instance) we received this financial year vs last financial year. I essentially want to see how we are tracking in comparison. What is the best way to go about it? I have created a formula which indicates what FY the record was created in to assist with grouping but I just cant get it to display correctly.Thanks in advance for your help! 😊
