I would like to create a project such as Login form where the user can send its data, then the form validate these data before storing them in some table and case there is some invalid data, on the same form display a message to the user, like a normal web page flow.I would like to know how I can do this, and if possible without getting a billing plan. 

Hi, I would like to be able to give each of my planned 400 fields a Description that can be sorted alphanumerically (so I can sometimes view the fields in a specific order I want to see them in, which the Field Names themselves are not necessarily already in. Is there a way I can do this when importing a 400-column table template from Excel, or is the only way to add Descriptions one-by-one once I've got the columns all set up in Airtable?Thanks!

Hi Airtable Community -I have table A which has a column that stores links to records in table B.  When I am in an expanded view of a record in table A and I click on the linked entry to open the linked record in table B, what determines what view is used for table B?  Is there a way to specify what view the linked record should open in?  I only want to display a few fields on the table B entry and I'm unsure how to do that.Thanks in advance!

Use case: RSVP form linked to individual attendees’ Airtable records created in a separate table. Each record pertains to a unique person. I’d like the RSVP form to automatically link to the original record. I’m working with two tables, ‘Anchor Table’ which contains hundreds of records related to individuals not involved in this use case and dozens of fields including private information, and ‘RSVP Table’ which is for the purpose of organizing an event where specific attendees’ are involved. I’ve created a filtered view for pertinent attendees’ and hidden all unrelated fields in Anchor Table and linked these records in RSVP table. When I create a form in RSVP table using the Linked Record field as a drop down, the preview in the selection shows thumbnails of attachment fields in the record that are hidden from the Anchor Table view. How can I change the fields in the form selection field to hide this?

Hello everyone,I'm trying to create something similar to what I do with spreadsheets, it's like a product catalog but using multiple rows on a single entry so I can use different values for each variation of the  same item. (image attached)Is it possible to do something like this in AirTable?Or if anyone got any suggestions on how I could do something similar to this in AirTable, I would appreciate it very much.Thanks everyone! 

I’d like to be able to share a link of one of my records in Page Designer view. Printed PDFs aren’t useful to me but being able to send the client a quick mock up of the record in a url would be incredibly useful. I’ve investigated the Embed block but that doesn’t fulfill my needs. Thank you for any help in advance

Is anyone else experiencing this printing bug after the last update? I see [object object] for options under Field sizing and Font size. It's causing issues with my print views. 

Hi! We created surveys for each base that people can fill out after our events we host. They answered the surveys, but I dont know exactly how to find the survey results now.I am not the one who set this up (the person that did left, but he tied the survey results to the person's line items when they registered - so we see their name/email etc and it used to show the results of their survey on the same line after the event was over and they completed it) so I am unsure how to retrieve or fix this issue. Can anyone help with this? phil@kampevents.com

Hi everyone, I want to set up a trigger in Airtable to take a PDF file (a complex, finished, unsigned 35 page application package) stored in a field and underlay that PDF under some signature blocks using some kind of e-signatures app. I can currently do this with some manual activity between Zoho CRM and Zoho Sign, but I want to move away from Zoho and have Airtable effectively be the CRM and perhaps some capable e-signature app I don't know about take care of this kind of e-signature. Thanks! 

Hi, I am using Airtable as a CRM tool and I have some companies for which I’d like to enrich the details. Namely I have a “Website” field and a "Logo’ flied. Is there any way in which I can have Airtable or some integration pulling the logo image from the website URL and not have to attach a logo every time? Thank you

Hi there - Is there a way I can take an Airtable Form under my tab called "Access Management," and then use an interface that I'd like to create which will track all of the information from the Airtable form? Basically, I am trying to keep track of each Airtable Form submission that comes through in an interface. Thank you!

Hi all,After submitting a ticket to Airtable support and waiting over three weeks (without a response to my support enquiry) and with the only replies being "we will get back to you soon" and "please use Airtable community" multiple times over, here I am.Is anyone else experiencing the same issue with Airtable support not replying to their support ticket?

I built a base for a project, and shared it with several users with editor privs. I added them to my own workspace, and thus assumed responsibility for the cost of their (Pro) accounts. There are a lot of bases in my Pro workspace, but I'm only sharing this one base with these users (i.e. I'm NOT sharing my whole workspace).The project has now come to an end and I want to stop paying for these users but I'm a bit unclear about how to proceed.If I unshare the base with them (leaving myself as the only user), does that remove them from my workspace as well? More important, does it mean that I'm no longer paying for them?If I unshare the base, what happens from their perspective? Do they still have accounts? If so are those accounts downgraded to free accounts?Those are my urgent questions, but I just thought of something else. A business has hired me as a consultant to help with a base they had already started themselves, in their workspace. They shared the base with me (with creator pri

i see in the help docs that search functionality only works in the grid view, but i see that it also doesn't seem to work when said grid view is grouped. yes, i know airtable wants me to add an extension for this function to work...that makes me shift gears and get out of the interface i'm in.problem is, i am trying to perform a search on my phone with grouped records. can't also figure out how to collapse all groups on the phone interface?does anybody else find this weird?

I cannot figure out how to filter all entries where “date” is the current month.

Is there a way to customize what fields are visible/hidden in an expanded record view for linked records? If I’m just in an expanded view, I can hide/unhide fields in the dropdown for each field, like so: But if I’m in the expanded view for a linked record, that option goes away: Screenshot%202|309x500 Field visibility doesn’t appear to be related at all to field visibility on the table I’m linking to. For example, I have admin start date and admin end date both hidden on the view this record is linking to, but they’re visible in the expanded view for that linked record. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Jess

“In most cases, you shouldn’t need to change the primary field in your table. However, if you need to do so, such as after importing a CSV, we recommend that you first create a new, empty column. Then, click the primary field header cell to select all cells in the column, then use Ctrl+X (Cmd+X on Mac) to cut those cell values. Next, you’ll paste those values (Ctrl+V/Cmd+V) into the empty column. Finally, you can copy and paste cell values from another field into the primary field.” I recommend you make it easier for us to change the primary field. Thanks.

Hello!Is there a reporting tool that shows how many actions (edits/updates) reps have done in a work base? 

Hi fellow Airtable enthusiasts!Does someone know if there's a way to flag records created or update by the API? Currently, we have a few integrations using the API, that are authorised by a certain user in Airtable. I'd like to flag those using a formula (if possible, otherwise another suggestion is welcome). Records created by the API show 'User X created through API' but these records re indistinguishable from records manually created through the same user. We don't have the luxury of adding another fictitious account / user, just for API purposes. Would there be another way to extract that? Currently, we can only display the 'Created by' field, but this shows both categories of records in the same way.Thank you for thinking along! Happy to clarify the use case if needed 🙂best,ElvinBest,Elvin

I have shared an Airtable view with one of my clients. They work at a Blue Cross plan with high IT security. The person is trying to download the view as a CSV. Here's what she said: "When we have it up and then I try to download our report (using download CSV) it states, “Preparing CVS download..” but then nothing pops up/opens up to us to download the report." I've attached 2 images that she sent me showing how it hangs. I advised her to do the following (and the same issue is showing up, not only on her computer, but also a colleague's):1) Log out of Airtable and log back in, then try again2) Clear your browser cache and try again3) Restart computer and try again4) Try login on a different browser, like Google Chrome or Firefox.  Please advise if there is something I need to do, or instruct her on? 

Hi!I need to create and handle from one main account different projects. Each one of them may have different team members, and at the same time it can happen that I don't want all team members in a project to be able to see all the information. Also, I may want to organize the stuff in "areas", such as mkt, sales, whatever, and use that as the "filter" to provide or not provide access to a certain team member.Do you have any idea on how I can manage this? Thanks!

In a base I am working on, I'm using the timeline view for daily trip routing within our fleet. These trips are timed to the minute and are not always on the hour (eg, a trip may go from 7:59am until 8:50am). If I need to drag this trip to a new swimlane on the view, it does not retain the times entered.Based on what I am seeing, any movement other than perfectly straight up or down will move the trip to the previous or next hour (eg, it would move to start at 7am or 8am). It sounds like the times on timeline are only set up to be moved in one hour blocks.Is there a way to either lock the times in so they cannot be changed when moving, or make the level of detail such that the times are retained (eg, moving a trip that starts at 7:34am keeps it at 7:34 instead of forcing to 7 or 8am)?

Hi there,I'm trying to get an Airtable and Monday.com integration working with a basic 'if this pulse changes on a board, find the record in Airtable and update'.I'm doing this with Make.com. My first step is a watch trigger that passes items which have been changed.For the second step and to match changes between platforms, my search-by-formula looks like this:IF({{3.previousValue.name}} = {Project name},1,0)Where 3.previousValue.name is the name of the project before it was changed in Monday, and {Project name} is the primary field of the Airtable record. Any project name that returns true should be passed to the next step of the scenario.However each time this runs, it searches the second value literally and returns:IF(oldMondayProject = {Project name},1,0)But of course nothing matches {Project name} because it's a variable, not a value. My third step would then be updating the record found in the second step with the value from the first step (newValue.name).I'm not really sure wha

When I add new options to a multiple select field. They list in the order they are added. Is there a way to sort them by the order they are listed in the pull-down? To be clear, I’m not trying to sort the whole set of record rows, just the elements inside each multiple select field box.
