3 Key Takeaways 👀
- Less is More: Avoid creating too many bases. Airtable works best when you maintain a single source of truth—one base per business function or team is usually enough. Multiple bases can lead to data silos and confusion, so only split bases when absolutely necessary, like for separate business entities or record limits.
- Linked Records Over Single Selects: One of the most common mistakes is using single select fields where linked records should be used. Linked records unlock the true power of Airtable, allowing you to relate data across tables, avoid duplication, and enable rollups and lookups for deeper insights.
- Don’t Sleep on Interfaces: Many users skip building interfaces due to the learning curve, but interfaces are essential for controlling permissions, improving user experience, and keeping your data safe. Invest time in learning how to build interfaces—your team will thank you!
