Hi community, When exporting a table view to csv, I am having rows get broken up and put on different lines. In the example, in AT, Row 26 is one line. When exported to CSV, the row breaks off at a certain field and goes to the next line. I have tried the download using the web app as well as the desktop app, and opening the csv in Excel and numbers, and get the same problem every time. Any ideas what is happening here? I can’t see any weird formatting in AT that could be making this happen. 

Any plans to allow the admins to adjust the user data fields similar to how the bases are configured with the ability to select and hide/delete fields we want to see by users depending on the use case? Or use a field selection similar to Service Now’s field selection? Currently what I see on the Admin panel is very limited and I don’t see the ability to adjust (add or delete)  

Hi All, I’m Dheeraj Sudan from the UK. I’m a software developer and also run a business with my wife Meenu Hinduja. Now, I am working with multiple linked tables and complex automations in Airtable for project tracking and reporting. As the database grows, performance becomes slower and some automations fail unexpectedly. What are the best strategies for optimizing linked records, improving automation reliability, and maintaining database efficiency? Thanks & regards,Meenu Hinduja & Dheeraj Sudan

Hi,I currently use Airtable as an HR system. I’d like to build an admin dashboard to monitor data completeness, to help me spot fields that are never or seldom used. The objective is simple: try and keep the tables as simple as possible, avoid redundant and useless fields. Complex tables, likely mean complex UI, which likely mean bad user experience. I want to avoid that.I’ve done a bit of searching but impressively enough I didn’t find any recommended solution or best practice. One option is to put a bunch of calculated fields that tell me if another field is filled or not. I’d really like to avoid that.I’m curious to know how others do it.

I'm experiencing a persistent issue with my Salesforce sync and have followed the troubleshooting steps in the Airtable documentation without resolution. I'm hoping that someone can help me understand why I continue to get these errors! Could anyone help me identify whether this is a known pagination issue with the Salesforce Reports API integration, and whether there is a fix or configuration option on Airtable's side?The SyncThe sync source is a Salesforce Report, type "Leads,"​ in a standard tabular format, no groupings, summaries, matrices, or joined data. The only filter​s applied ​are​: Created Date after October 2020, Converted = False, and filters to limit Owners (segmenting by Department)​. ​The report is sorted by 18-digit Record ID.​ The Unique ID field is set to the native Salesforce 18-digit Record ID.  The Salesforce report contains 2,097 rows (confirmed via CSV export).

We have ~2000 applicants per applications cycle. I’d like to add them all as read only portal guests filtered to only see their own record that has their login email associated with it. Is there any limit on how many applicants I can do this for?

Hi everyone,I’m a small business owner currently on an annual Airtable plan with about 11 months remaining.I need to add a contractor as a real collaborator/editor for a short period. Read-only access will not work for this workflow. I’m completely fine paying for the time she actually needs access, such as one month, but I do not want to accidentally commit to paying for an additional collaborator for the rest of the annual term.Is there any way to add a temporary collaborator on an annual plan and only pay for the month they are active?Or is there a recommended setup for short-term contractors who need editor-level access without triggering a full annual seat charge?I’d really appreciate any guidance before I add the user and create another unexpected billing issue.Thank you.

Hi everyone,I have a question regarding how billing works for Interface collaborators on the Business Plan.I currently have a Business Plan account and I’ve shared a specific Interface with several users who are on the Airtable Free Plan. When I check my Admin Panel, these users are correctly listed under the "Viewer" permission level.My question is: Will I be charged for these users?I want to make sure that sharing interfaces with "View-only" permissions doesn't trigger additional seat costs on my monthly/annual bill.Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello,We are using a script that runs in the Scripting extension - it was developed by a consultant and has been working 100% for many years, so I hesitate to touch it. But now, I have a new requirement that this button can only be clicked if a specific checkbox field has been checked.How can I limit this button to match my new trigger? Thanks in advance - scripting is definitely not my forte.

Hello everyone,I’m a beginner in Airtable.I created liked to another records in my database but it doesn’t goes out automatically. A helper said that I have to enter the link manually by clicking in the box and selecting the correct link to establish. He corrected the field books to show me an exemple. But I don’t see what’s wrong. Here is the link to my database :https://airtable.com/invite/l?inviteId=invaGndItH1AMLc6T&inviteToken=397c73d5eb028ef680e8e173e4a730b416c544f294d7c3917f344bbb0d0fe1c1&utm_medium=email&utm_source=product_team&utm_content=transactional-alerts 

I’ve imported several tables into AT. They each had a day field (no time element). I just noticed all the dates are +1 day from what they should be. How is this even possible?More importantly, how do I fix it?

Is this possible? I have multiple views which I use, but not all information needs to be displayed when I add a record through a linked record. Right now, it seems whatever view is at the top of the list in a table is the one that shows up when a linked record is used.

Hi All, We are considering using Airtable for our team to manage projects we are doing for client. However, some of the data will be sensitive data belonging to the client. What’s the best way to manage this?  

Hi everyone,I earned my Airtable certification using my previous work email address. I no longer work for that company, and I’d like to renew my certification using my current email/account.Has anyone here successfully transferred or merged their Airtable Academy certification history, badges, or Community profile from an old work account to a new personal or work account?I’m especially interested in understanding:whether Airtable Support can merge Academy and Community profiles; what information they usually ask for; whether certification history and badges are preserved after the transfer; how long the process usually takes.Thanks in advance for any advice or experience you can share.

I am on the free plan only.I am the only person with access. I tried to add four other people with editor status. Although the dialog says I can have up to 5 collaborators (including me), the Share invite box will let me add only 2 of the 4?

Using Page Designer to create station manifests for events and they look amazing on screen, not so much on paper. Only the first page prints, the rest of the pages are blank. I’ve tried everything I can think of, but still getting blank pages. When I print I see this instruction: “You’ll need to manually enable background images and/or background colors in your print settings in order to make the page print properly.” What does that mean? Where do I change this setting and how do I change it?

One of my Interface pages keeps crashing, and it’s affecting the performance of my other Interfaces as Airtable becomes unresponsive.

Hello, I’ve finished testing my automations in the sandbox and have deployed the changes to production. Everything is working correctly, but I would now like to sync my test data from the sandbox to production. What is the best way to do this?

Hello, I have a workflow which includes repetitive data input. Simple copy-paste have some drawbacks.I have a table called Orders. Each row is one order which includes product, quantity etc. Each order requires multiple tasks to complete and there is a linked table for that called Order tasks. Orders come in patches with different products but every product tasks are very similar. I would like to configure first order tasks and then copy it to the rest of the orders. The problem is that then there are only first few tasks which are linked to ALL of the orders. Each order should have their own set of rows in Order tasks table.I have tried multiple workarounds but I haven’t found working solution. For example, duplicating rows in Order tasks table makes it very tedious to relink to correct row in Order table. I have also configured “allow linking to multiple records” but it seems to have no effect when copying and still links to multiple records even

When I created my Airtable Community/Academy accounts forever ago, I set them up with my work email because that was my only Airtable login at the time. I’m now leaving this current position and want to transition my logins to an email account that will still be accessible (which is also tied to my personal Airtable account). I can’t seem to find a spot in the Settings or Profile where this can be changed--am I missing something, or do I need to go to Airtable support directly?
