Does anyone have or know of this?  I would love a quick reference to consult when  building an interface page so I dont have to realize halfway through Ive used the wrong layout and have to start over.  If no one has one, Ill create it and post it-

Thanks!

I know that Airtable Academy has a whole course on interface designs: Interface Designer Deep-Dive but otherwise I haven’t seen a handy dandy one-sheet on the differences between them and would appreciate the creation of it.

One recommendation that I’d have, though, is to look into asking Omni when designing interfaces. There have been a few times when I’ve asked it, thought, “nah, I can do it better,” and then eventually just redesigned exactly what it gave me in the beginning. It can be shockingly good.

Nothing really comes to mind and some kind of cheat sheet is great to have.  When deciding between a layout you really have to ask yourself one question.  Is the user navigating between records or consuming information about one?  Dashboards work better for summary and multi-element views.  Full Page and Split lean toward record-focused workflows.
