8 days ago, Airtable experienced a 6+ hour long outage, as evidenced here:https://status.airtable.com/incidents/2n6qq3xbrsjpMy questions are:Will there be some sort of public root cause analysis/explanation for this event? What changes have been made to prevent this outage from happening again? Why was “Login with Airtable SSO” broken during this outage? If community.airtable.com is supposed to be the central place for users to report issues during outages, then why was it IMPOSSIBLE to login, post, and comment during the outage?

Greetings, has anyone heard any rumors about making it possible to access extension from Interfaces instead of having to go to Data and then Tools  and then select Extensions? It is not a really big deal but it becomes irritating and time consuming when I have to send out invoices and I have to go through all these extra clicks to get to the Pages extension where I send out my invoices via email as pdfs.Thanks, Scott

Hi everyone,I started watching the basic videos today, and since there are unfortunately no subtitles, transcripts, or anything like that, and the summary field remains empty, I'm hoping for some helpful suggestions on how to turn either of them on.It doesn't work in Chrome, Edge, or even in incognito mode.Thanks in advance!Tinks

Hi Community, I have created a form, with a number of single select fields. When you got to enter, a blank field appear above the single select options - you can click on this, but it is not showing in the field in the back end. There are two options there, but the user end you can select a third non-existent option?The single selects are required fields, and the form has existed for a while without these glitches. Any tips welcome - though FYI, scripting (which the Airtbale bot told me to do) is a bit beyond my capabilitiesThanks 

Hi AirtabliansI have a date column which I have set to DD/MM/YYYY . . when i try to cut or import data into it sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, i have realised that even though I have set the field explicitly as DD/MM/YYYY format like most of the known world, it still wants in input in MM/DD/YYYY then it represents that back in the format I want to see it i.This is causing havoc with automations.I am guessing that there is a central “what format is the date in this entire table/workspace in” setting but I cant find it? My date settings field input still wanting me to enter in it appears this is why i cant

Washington County was established in 1777 and the county seat, Jonesborough, was established in 1779; the oldest county and town in Tennessee.  We have over a 1,000 family folders and over 400 local history folders along with books, microfilm, maps, etc. in the library genealogy collection.  We are building a searchable database on these family folders and local history folders. In this data base, we also set up through ‘extensions’ a search engine.We want to share this database with family researchers.  But we would like to share with them a “read only” database that is searchable.  This is our problem.  How can we set up a “read only” database that researchers could use?  We do not want to put this database on the internet.  Is there a way that we can set up a searchable database that is only ‘read only?’ 

I recently got a new Ipad to use when referencing my Airtable database. I noticed that a number of data entries. were missing. I cleaned that up a best as I could. Today I saw that this was still happening between the old IPad and the new one. I cleaned that up, them login to the database with my laptop, and it is missing everything I put it today. Up until recently if I put something in on the IPad it was immediately available on the laptop. I refreshed, relogged in. I’m not sure what is going on.

Hi ThereWe are a UK company using Airtable to manage / power all areas of our business.We absolutely love the product but are becoming a little nervous with downtime incidents.This is because our companies workforce is simply paralysed without it.We would like to implement a basic form of 3rd party backup / restore service.We’ve just setup an account with On2Air to evaluate their offering.Appreciate there’s a bunch of previous posts on this topic but would appreciate links to any recent services or with what you may be using successfully. Thank you for your help in advance. 🙏 

Airtable is down again. 7:20am Australia time now and it’s been down for over 90 mins, with no status update posted in 70 minutes since the last one saying ‘we’re working on it’. Our business is just at a standstill - I can’t even log in to find any of out client’s data to call them…. I doubt I’m alone. Not having any kind of update for over an hour is unacceptable when businesses need to rely on this service. I get that things go down, i get there are outages - but the communication surrounding such issues from Airtable is abysmal. This kind of outage during business hours costs us thousands of dollars an hour and I can’t help but feel the support/communication during these times needs massive improvement. 

I deleted and redownloaded the app, didn’t help. 

I cant load any of my Airtable Page.Can anyone help on this please?

The functionality to load all records is phenomenally slow - like on the order of 5 minutes in a dataset with 15,000 records. Before the 1000-records-only initial view, the full set of records would load within 30 seconds. 

Hi group,  Wanted to ask you about how you manage user management. I get a lot of questions from our organisation about “who can add me to Airtable”, and so far it’s just me managing our groups (I’ve made groups based on permission rights and what interfaces they should see).I’ve seen there is an option to assign members of these groups to be the group admins. I’m wondering if it’s worth making one user per team an admin, so they can manage access rights for their area without always going through me.How do you manage this? any good tips?

I’ve been building an app through the free trial and have hit a snag. I’m aware Airtable won’t let you create new Linked Records in a form. Fillout doesn’t have the capacity for a price my boss is willing to pay. I’ve been using Gemini quite a bit which has been helpful, and they suggested something that would work but I wanted your opinion (Confidently incorrect AI’s and all that). My tables in question are “Customers” which can have many “Locations” and “Contacts”. Locations can have many “Jobs”. If I create a job and the customer doesn’t exist, I have to leave to make the customer, only to remember that I don’t have the contact or location, so I have to leave and do those, repeat ad-nauseum. Gemini’s suggestion is to create a master intake table. For the customer, I could select from a dropdown (as usual), but if it’s a new customer, I would fill in new fields for the customer information. Repeat with Location, Contacts, and the Job details. Then use a

I have a text field which I’m manually populating with UUIDv7s. This string is time-ordered by the first sequence of characters.When sorting A-Z on this column, I’d expect that to happen. It isn’t. These two entries sort in this order. 019c607b-60d7-72dd-b925-f76680dae347 019c6051-5b66-7586-85b8-c54c63dbf350What am I missing?

Hi, everyone! For the last 24 hours, I haven’t been able to download CSV files from any of my bases. I’ve tried in the app (on Mac and Windows), and in multiple browsers. Although I see the “preparing CSV file for download” popup, no file is downloaded. Anyone else experiencing this issue, or have a workaround? (UPDATE: it appears it is specific to my workplace, as I can download files from my home network. Anyone have such an issue with their IT setup blocking Airtable downloads?)Thanks in advance, Carole

While testing automation with Airtable, the webpage froze. I closed the page and tried to re-access Airtable, but the homepage wouldn't load. I could access other pages besides the main page, but when I logged in, I saw the screen below. I tried using a different account, but the same thing happened.  

I found something that talked about 216px, but it keeps doing this. 

Does right now form cannot upload attachments for read only/free users?errror says “You are not permitted to perform this operation”
