Customizing shared view

Hello everybody! Sorry if the question is too basic, I’m new to airtable…

I’m trying to keep the wine inventory of my restaurant in airtable, and use a shared grid view to show the wine menu. During Covid situation we cannot use paper menus and we have a QR code so client use its own phone to read it. I have all items sorted by wine type using groups, then price… it works great.

The question is: can I add the group name in top of the item list? The list is quite long and non-expert clients will get lost (they are using a smartphone to read). It would be great to have something like:

White wines:

  • xxxx
  • xxxx
  • xxxx

Red wines:

  • xxx
  • xxx

“White wines” and “Red wines” are coming from a single select field which I use to group them.

Any comments or recommendations will be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much and keep safe!!

Angel

Airtable doesn’t anchor the grouping header at the top of the page (although that would be a very cool feature request, which you can suggest in the #show-and-tell:product-suggestions category).

However, you could use something like this tool, which anchors a filter drop-down menu at the top of the page. Then, your customers could just click on the drop-down menu to switch to a different wine category:
