I am writing documentation for a Base to help users who are new to Airtable and the app to use it. I would like to put a table of Icons and their field types in this document so that they can reference it to see what data type goes in it. Many of the people who are going to use this are retired and have no previous experience in this area. They will not think to pass the mouse over the icon to see what type of field it is or they will forget that they can do that.

I have searched and have not come up with any sites that have the icons. Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks, Scott

    A bit manual, but I would just take a screenshot of the ‘create field’ selection and break them apart in MS Paint or something similar. I doubt they’re published anywhere.

    Hey ​@Scott_Brasted,

    I am not aware of anywhere you would find those very specific symbols unfortunately. I would personally go with the screenshot approach suggested above. Else you can use unicode, emojis, or similar, but I believe that will not be good enough for your use case!

    Hey ​@Scott_Brasted,

    Here is an Illustrator file with the Icons as SVGs.
    AirtableIcons.ai

    I believe it to be fairly comprehensive.

    Hope it helps!

    Also here is a zip file with all of the icons individually exported as both SVGs and PNGs.

    Airtable Icons.zip

    Oh that is nice ​@Tyler_Thorson. I see many do not actually apply, but most of what he will need is there I believe!

    Mad props to ​@Tyler_Thorson this is one of those small things that comes in very handy occasionally (kind of like the list of record name options) and double props for compiling and sharing as .pngs!
