Good morning,


I am wondering if there is a feature which can allow us to organize our views? What I mean is I have made a number of views and I would like to organize them like a page tree. For example:


Most used

-view

-view

-view


Leadership Views

-view

-view

-view


You can see this list is getting long… it would be great to bucket them and be able to collapse them when not needed?


I second Troy_Bravenboer - looks like this has been a request for a long time and is needed by many of your users. I came here looking for an answer to how to organize by views, and would love to see a response from the Airtable Team!!


Chiming in here and echoing everyone else. My list of views is growing without end. Looking for some way to better organize it all. Thanks in advance!


I agree that it would be good to be able to group table views for better organization. We don’t have a huge amount of views in a given table, but such organization would better communicate to other users as to which views they should be using.


Another possibility would be to have “database views” (in addition to table views). This would allow customization of a single database to better serve the needs of certain departments or functions. For example, the “Marketing” version of the database would look different from the “Accounting” version. The ability to manage users into groups, and assign sets of views to specific groups, might be helpful here.


+1, please implement this!!


+1 - I have SO many views… please help!!


I was thinking that THIS unachieved, imperfect UI View Tab improvement should be used by Airtable’s DEVs to pave the way to what is suggested here !

Maybe ? or not ? 'still don’t know…

I too desperately need to be able to restrict the views that different teams can see.


Just signed up to Airtable and, as a developer, I appreciate the features (it may be that we use this for smaller projects and save a ton of time building databases ourselves!)


On this topic, I came to this thread because I’m looking for a similar ‘grouping’ of bases as well.


Many of the templates in the ‘Universe’ have such a grouping, though I can find nothing like it in the help docs. One example is Neighborhood Support for COVID19 - Airtable Universe where there are groupings of ‘Neighbors’, ‘Resources’, “Skills”, etc…


This sounds like many of the posts here - and it is obviously possible (it is in a lot of the templates!) - but, how to do it??


I second that. I’d love to either arrange views in trees or to be able to separate them with horizontal lines


+1 for this please!!!


+1 for this too please!!!


Yes please, folders for views would be a HUGE help!


+1 here too. The company I’m building an Airtable workspace for really needs this. The project is at risk of becoming unworkable soon without it.


A strong +1! 🙏 This would actually help using Airtable for a bigger scale and not only small projects.


+1 please! Would be really helpful for our teams to more easily navigate our many views


+1 for me, too! My unwieldy list of views is a real hurdle for me to get my organization into the system and using it regularly. Without views, only the data nerds in my org would ever use Airtable because it visually is little more than a spreadsheet. Having views that use the more visual representations of data (kanban, cards, calendar) are pivotal to this system working for my org. And, if people can’t easily navigate the views created for their roles or needs, I’m having trouble convincing people this system is worth our time. Also, since the view menu changed recently, the list of view titles has been cut in half, as the bottom half of that menu is fully taken up by the different view types you can select when creating a new view. This is very frustrating. The other issue is longer view titles get cut off, making it harder to navigate. The seems like a small issue, but is a serious barrier for my org.


+1 for this! Would be massively helpful.


+1 for this, this would be extremly great, if you could have Folders for Views e.g.


+1 for me, too. My organization could benefit significantly from the ability to organize views into folders. It would be great if the PTB could let us know if this is even a possibility for the near future.


This is insane. It can’t be that difficult to implement folders for views. Why hasn’t this been implemented yet?? People have been asking for it for 3+ years and it would make Airtable so much better.


This is a major stumbling block for getting portions of my team to not view Airtable as something that is messy and unorganized. Being able to put them into folders would be really helpful 🙂.


+1 for this - would be great & helpful


+10000 for this. not understanding how this has not been implemented yet?


+1 But after 3 years and a half… I don’t know if this will ever happen… We should probably move to another product…


Would be extremely helpful for our team of 50+ users.
