In Timeline view, can you group development by date without it being broken up?

Hi Airtable community, Currently I’m trying to have productions ordered by their start date and then have each row be ordered by just the production, so that the different stages of that production, continues across that one row. Below is a screen shot of what I have at current, where each stage of the production is placed on a different month, rather then all coming under the same production. Hopefully this makes sense and thanks in advance. Best, Bradley.

Move table out of base, then sync and keep them linked to each other

We’ve been using Airtable for a couple of years now and our system has grown from a simple back-end to the monster she is today. Now as we scale up I need to limit access to tables, with Airtable Syned Bases I can do this. But I have a very complex system of tables all linked to each other set-up and am unsure how to move tables out (so users cannot edit them anymore) but keep all the initial linked formulas, etc. Does this make sense? Is this possible at all?

Big-Screen Workflow Dashboard

Hi all, has anyone successfully integrated Airtable with an information dashboard application like Geckoboard or Databox? My team dreams of a solution like Panic’s (now discontinued) Status Board, running on top of Airtable data, for display on a 4K TV, likely driven by a Mac mini. Similarly, what are come recommended alternatives to Geckoboard and Databox, should I have to build the integration myself? Thank you!!! A.

Macro for Countries Field

Hi all! Apologies if this isn’t the correct place for this question! I’d like to have a field that shows all the countries where we have the rights to use a piece of content, but I don’t want to have to type, or select 50-190 countries for each piece of content. I’d like to be able to type or select “Europe” and then have all 40 countries populate that field, or another field (eg Europe can live a regions field and all the countries can be in countries field - I don’t care! What ever is easiest?!). Can I use blocks to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for any help.

Jumping to a Dropbox bath to the actual folder

I use a single-line text field to store Dropbox paths of certain files. When clicking on the file’s URL, I’m taken to Dropbox viewer whereas I would prefer to be sent directly to my file in the Finder (I’m on Mac but I guess the problem is the same on PCs). On Wrike, one of Airtable’s competitors, that feature is standard. Am I missing something ? Thank you for your help.

Show value/price in "Price (from Room Details)" if the status is Available and Becoming Available

I am trying to add a formula that if the status is “Available” and “Becoming Available” in “General Listing Calculation” tab it will show the price from “Price (from Room Details)”. Not sure how to start. I guess it will be like this IF({General Listing Calculation}= “Available”, {Price (from Room Details)}) but not sure how to add “Becoming Available” in the formula

Set up a link to another table and a lookup field but it doesn't automatically do the lookup

I set up a customers table with an email address and job title field (blank). Have another table with email address and job title field, linked the tables and trying to look up the job title in table to and populate table one and it only works if I click into the field and search and manually do this. I’m sure there is a better way. Thanks!

Email Field Empty from Form Submission

Hello! I’m working with a client that currently uses an Airtable Form to collect data from applicants to a job posting. All fields are required in the form. We are receiving form submissions that have the email field or other fields completely empty. What is causing this? Does this happen when forms are refreshed or a tab is closed in a browser? I’m really not sure. I’m thinking it may be best for the client to use a third-party form, but I’m perplexed by this issue of empty required fields. Thanks for your help!

Remove white spaces at the end of an entry

I have a field that is an entry field and that is part of a rather complicated page design, where I need to be able to trim away and spaces at the end of an entry as sometimes the user ads a whitespace I guess out of habit. Is this possible? I’ve been playing around with the TRIM() and SUBSTITUTE(), but I have a hard time finding a solution that’ll apply just to the end of the entry? I’ve tried this, but it dosen’t get rid of the white space at the end IF(RIGHT({Alcantara},1)=" ", LEFT({Alcantara}, FIND(' ', {Alcantara}, LEN({Alcantara})-1), {Alcantara} )

Limitations on interface, editable list/grid of related records

This is my first post here. I’ve been getting up to speed on AirTable the last several days and finding there’s much to like about AirTable. However, while it appears to nicely cover certain basic use cases, I’m not seeing how it covers many common use cases that come standard with some database apps such as FileMaker. With AirTable I see a form designer, page designer and now interface designer all in addition to configurable views but they all fall short with many common use cases. One example use case would be to submit or edit multiple rows (including the ability to sort, select and edit related records) all related to a single record. This is a no-brainer in FileMaker via their portal widget to related records. I am aware of AirTable extended functionality which may provide some aspects of this but only in a view only, browse only mode. Before I invest additional time on this I need to know if there’s something I’m missing which allows one to create the following type of implement

Way to store privately and securely store information (away from Airtable's eyes)?

In Airtable’s T&Cs it says they can access our information at any time for security reasons, or something of that sort, meaning the data in the Airtable is not actually secured. Is there an encrypted and private way that information can be stored on Airtable, where there is a guarantee, barring a court order, that Airtable cannot view my company’s stored information?

Needing Help with a design

Hi Guys, im quite new to airtable and i am so far loving it With my business i make memorial jewellery and once an order comes in it goes into my airtable with the status of their order shown below. Is there any way i can create each card so when someone goes to check their order on my website and this table is embeded they can view a photo of the completed work and add notes to it or approve the design before it is shipped to them is there also an option with airtable that when that particular card is updated i can link that card to their email so they get notified of the update Is there an option to add a reminder to each order when their order is coming up to being due to complete? I am hoping to have each card private only to that customer - i know this is doable on monday.com so i am hoping as airtable is similar this can be done here too. or does anyone have any other suggestions.

Linking two existing cells to use lookup

Hi Community, I would like to do something rather simple however, I am struggling with linking tables. I have an E-mail address column in table A and the same in table B. All addresses from B are in A, but not all of A are in B. Whenever a new record (including a 5-star rating column) is added in B, I would like to synch A such that the rating is reflected in a column there too. Thus, similar to VLOOKUP in Excel, when the e-mail addresses match, Airtable should pull the rating in B to A. Any ideas?

Converting email addresses of collaborators

Hi community. I am trying to “clean up” my list of collaborators by converting all email addresses from personal or @gmail addresses to our @organizational email addresses. When i delete or remove the collaborator with the gmail or hotmail address, I resend an invite to their organizational email. Some have accepted the invitation but it has their @gmail address listed again. What could be the cause of that?

How would you make a blood test tracker in Airtable?

In Google Sheets, I’m experimenting with making a Sheet to log blood test results. Types of things (eg. proteins, minerals, red blood count) tested for are on the Y axis. Adjacent, each has a normal-range threshold, defined by the lower limit and the upper limit. Then, the subsequent X axis includes a number of different date columns, carrying the specific numerical result for each test type. Due to complexity of views, I can imagine using an Airtable Table eg. to group test types - eg. there are a number of White Blood Cell test types. But how else / how well could this translate to Airtable? Each thing tested for has a normal range, defined by two column cells containing the lower and upper thresholds, accordingly. This allows me to use Conditional Formatting to shade the cell background cell green/red if the reading is out of range. What can I do with Airtable here? Indeed, do I have the axes the right way around? Am I better off recording each test (eg. Nov 6, 2021) as a record,

Optimizing timeline using Gantt View

Hello Friends! I’ve been getting very excited by the Gantt view! Especially the ability to push tasks and have all of the following tasks push with it. Is it possible to pull all of the following tasks when pulling tasks backwards? Or a way to update a set of records to have no “dead” space between tasks? Thank you! Paul Warren

Submitting Times on a Form

Context: We have an airtable form for speakers to submit a topic, bio, date, and time for their workshop and our speakers are from all over the country. Issue: We wanted people to be able to select their own date and time. From there we had an automation that, once we changed the status internally on the grid view to “Add to Calendar”, the automation would add the event to Google Calendar. It all worked perfectly until we had someone from another time zone use the form. We’ve tried toggling on and off the “Use GMT for all collaborators” and we tried telling people to enter the time zone as Eastern, but in both cases we haven’t been able to have this process flow as intended. Are we missing something? Is it possible for someone to enter a date on a form and have that form consistently give us a date/time in Eastern?

Billing Plans and Number of Collaborators

Dear Community, Could you please help me with an airtable billing plans. For now I have a workspace with a free plan with 12 collaborators with an “editor” access that I’ve added for free. I’d like to add another workspace as a paid “Pro”. I know that I need to pay for each collaborator that I invite in a “Pro” workspace. My question here, do I need to pay to my existing collaborators within a free workspace when I have a paid workspace? Thank you!
