Interface Designer

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.
