With the new "Home Screen" I can't:Sort workspaces using drag and drop or bases even alphabetically. Move multiple bases to another workspaceMake it show permanently only the bases and not the interfacesThat's not very user friendly because:I have a priority in workspaces (which can't be solved with star spaces)I had 12 bases that I moved to a new workspace, specially created and I have to move them one by one !!!!!! And if that's not a nightmare in addition every time I moved one base then the starting page moved to the new workspace. So I had to go back to the old to move the next one. Tragedy Interfaces to me are secondary just to show to others the results of the work. I work only in bases and every time I have to filter out the interfaces. Do I miss something here or is it just poor design ?

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to sort related records within a table that I am bringing to Page Designer Block. For example, I would like to bring in the schedule (run of show) for an event. Each activity + time is a record in a related table. When I bring in the table to my Page Designer Block, the activity times are not in the right order. Is there a workaround so that I can display the records in the correct time order?

Hi all,II'll try and better explain.Imagining you have a base with multiple tables, and on one table there are 2 fields... One, is a linked to field that allows for multiple selected records... Let's say it links to a table listing people's names; members of a team. One record has 3 names: Jason JonesAmy AbnerSteve SullivanAgain, these are individual records from another base, not text.  Is there a way I can pull just the first record, automatically, into the 2nd field? Similar to if I was using the right or left functions with numbers.  I want to have a second field that pulls out just Jason Jones in this field, and does the same for all the other records along that same field; ie pulling out just the first record.  🙏

Hello,These presented properties will have a chance to have a different property address linked on this column which is not having any issues.My main question here is there any way how could I set up,  the "current property" will be replaced with the latest property address from the presented properties?For example.The first property from the presented properties was 15 Kaye Drive, after a few minutes there will be another property added to the "presented property which is 36 Erronmago Drive.How can I replace the "current property" with the latest address which is 36 Erronmago Drive?The main purpose of the "current property" should only have 1 latest property address only.Hope it is clear and someone could help &#128578

I have created a shared events calendar with a registration form, and I'd like to set up an automation that would email a confirmation to the registrant, including a link that would generate an ics file that they could use to add the event to their Outlook calendar. The only instructions I can find are for creating a link for syncing an entire shared calendar. Thanks!Joel

We currently publish an Airtable calendar of training events on a company intranet page. We use the Zoom event registration feature and I have a button on each event that takes the users to the Zoom registration form. But I'd like to find a way to track these event registrations in Airtable rather than in Zoom, so we can utilize automations, etc. Is there some way that I could build a button that so that when a user selects an event on the calendar and clicks "Register", they would go to an Airtable form which would automatically associate that registration with the selected event? I don't want them to have to pick the event from a list within the form (for a few reasons). I just want them to fill in their name and contact info and answer a couple of questions. Thanks for the help!

In the Base Schema app the fields are not ordered in the same way as the fields in the table. The order seems to be the original order at the time when the field was created. If it was created at the beginning of the table and later moved to the back, the Base Schema app still shows that field in the “front” of the table.

Hi everyone, Is there a way to URL parameter encode a filter that filters multiple choices at the same time? Example: http://myairtableurl.com/abcdefg?filter_Region=Region1&filter_Region=Region2, or ?filterRegion=Region1+Region2 It only seems to allow me to filter by one at a time, and I’m not sure if it’s impossible, or if I’m just missing the right character to join the two filter search terms. Thanks!

What courses/webinars have you found to be helpful in learning to use AT? I am looking to get up to speed quickly, thanks!

Hi everyoneI've been an Enterprise user/admin for a while and one thing I've noticed is that some users who are originally set at collaborator seat level sometimes get "bumped up" to builder level when they take certain actions that only builders are supposed to be able to do.  This is something I'd like to be able to control since we pay twice as much for builder licences as we do for collaborators, and there are certain security risks that come with not being able to restrict who has owner/creator access to certain bases or workspaces.  It seems like a really odd loophole to me, particularly as you don't receive any kind of notification when someone's seat level changes.  Does anyone have any advice on this?

I have the Pro account.  I am trying to upload a base with 4200 records (4 MB) and am unable to do so.  The error message is Error: pglY2zfD6is4klyo3  (I thought the max records on the Pro plan is 50,000)

Stick with me, there is a question at the end of this lol.BACKGROUND: I own and operate a medical records retrieval company. Law firms will hire my company to retrieve medical bills/records on their behalf.  They then use said medical bills and records in order to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company on behalf of their injured client.CONTEXT: We currently send hundreds of requests for medical bills/records each month to medical facilities all over the state. Each of these requests typically require us to do follow ups with the medical facility because they are often swamped and under staffed.  Often times this process can take weeks or even months to complete a single retrieval. Resulting in us have hundreds if not thousands of pending requests for bills/records at any given moment.  So, in order to not lose track of any of these requests, and to ensure we know where we are at in the "retrieval" process for

I set up my table with a Predecessor field (linked field back to the table). I’ve been using this to drive some calculations on dates for sequencing and showing in the Gantt chart. However I want to also use the successor for some other calculations. Here’s my question. In the Gantt Chart view you can click on a record and it will show the predecessor and successor (if they exist). I have only set up Predecessors in my table. However for a record that is “in the middle” of a chain - the Gantt Chart view will show the predecessor (which I set) AND the successor (which it knows as that successor record is set as a predecessor for the record selected). Is there a way (via a formula?) that I can access what the Successor record is? Clearly it’s available as it’s shown in the Gantt view but I can’t seem to determine it from a formula. Thanks!

Hi, Is there any way to automatically upload/attach an image from a website when I input the weblink in a “Link” column in Airtable? Basically, when I input the weblink into the Link column, some function or some code would run (maybe in a separate “Function” column?) and then grab the specific image from the website and upload it into the “Attachment” column. Not sure if this is feasible or not… Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you! -Dave

I have three subcontractors working in separate (but similar) bases. For NDA reasons they can’t work out of the same base. However, for better admin, I would like to roll up all their records into a single base? And I would like it to be automatic, so whenever they make a change to a record in their base it updates it in the master base. Is this possible?

I just noticed this new option in my right-click menu for records: I clicked on it, but it looks like you have to have created a template in order to apply one, and I can’t find anywhere to do that. Is this a new beta feature?
