Folders in Workspaces


MichaelSargent

I have multiple bases in a workspace and some of them are related, even having synced tables, and other have nothing to do with the others around them. Folders would help organize my workspace.

BIG +1 for this request


I am personally wondering what workspaces are meant to be used for.

I feel like this is a must. Just upgraded to Enterprise and I'm having a lot of questions/complaints regarding this.

I feel like this is a major gap in basic organization for each Workspace- please add folders to Workspaces!

 

Also... with the most recent Community updates, are we not allowed to give 'kudos' each other's comments after the initial comment anymore? 😕😕👎

Yes I don't think that is not a feature yet, it's so hard to organize projects within a workspace

Given that pricing is PER WORKSPACE PER USER - Not just per user, this is a must.

This would be a real assist in working with many bases in a workspace and I can't believe there is any heavy lifting involved in making it happen. C'mon Airtable, there is enough traction here supporting this feature request, please make it happen.


Is this happening? We absolutely need it.


Very much needed. It becomes chaotic with multiple bases.

Since my last comment, Airtable's workspace home screen has had an unfortunate update that is not user friendly or intuitive. User-established folders (with an option to search by bases that have been shared with the user or most recently opened) would be much more user-friendly.

+1, Really need this feature.  We have an enterprise plan as well.  Surprised there isn't anything at all done for base organization in any way yet.  Tags, labels, folders, anything.

Does Airtable even read the posts here? Surely it is not asking too much to expect an official comment in response to this feature request?

@MichaelSargent It is a great idea and a must have. I feel the same as @Molly_Mangan 

Unfortunally these "Product Idea" boards feel very useless. We rarely here back from Airtable and when they do it never matches what is needed and they always end up making the app worse 😖... what a waste.

They lunched yestruday a community feedback form  where you can leave a feedback! Given the lack of usefullness of this "Product Idea" boards, I would suggest you to fill this form... maybe Airtable will read it ðŸ¤ž

As mentioned -- not sure if it's useful to note it here -- but we absolutely need this feature. 

I was honestly really confused by the standard AirTable format as I had created multiple workspaces assuming they were folders, and was then confused when I saw that these new folders were under the free plan even though we had signed up for the team plan. Took me a minute to realize I needed to move everything into the team plan workspace and was then further confused by the inability to organize all the bases. 

It's honestly surprising that AirTable did not include folders as a feature when it launched.

It's one of the most basic and pervasive ways of organizing information on a computer or software application.

There's a reason why Windows, Apple, Google etc. all choose to provide users with a folder system for their products.

I'm beginning to wonder if Airtable is listening to us on this. This has been a BIG request for a long time. Like @airtableguy said, this is a basic function of 99% of any organizational software available and this is definitely an organizational software. This is a must and is making me consider moving my stuff somewhere else and no longer paying Airtable as I grow in my business.
