Is it possible to create a sign up form, that, when filled out automatically gives that new user instant access to the workspace?

My table, Table A is called “UX Debt Log”. I’m using a few columns to help create a prioritizing system for the individual records in this log. In Table A, column C, “Pages Affected”, is linked to Table B which is called “Page Title List and Values”. The cells column C allow multiple values. The next column, column D (“Pageview Value”) is a Lookup column, so it looks up the pages I’ve entered in column C, and returns the total pageviews for each of those pages. Thus, the cells in this column also allow multiple values. What I need is to total the numbers pulled into column D. Is there a way to do this either within column D, or perhaps in a column E (such as column “Total Pageview Value” shown in screenshot below) where I could make that column a formula column and it would end up creating a formula that would total up the numbers in the cell to it’s left? For example, E1 would total all numbers in D1 (reminder, D1 has multiple

I’m in the Help guide: Let’s make a base, Part 2: Views. It says to click the drop down arrow to the right of “Main View.” I don’t have a main view, only a grid view. When I click the drop down, I don’t see the Create a new view option. What gives?

Hi, We use Airtable for rights management for our movies. We have a formula that works well to remove movies that are licensed in a particular country or region. For example if I was creating a list of available movies for France I would use a filter that said Active Contact Regions does not include France. Here’s the formula we use to determine Active Contract Regions. This is only based on geography and whether the contract has ended. IF(AND({Contract Ended?}= “No”,({Exclusive?}=“Exclusive”)),Regions, BLANK()) We also have a formula for Active Contract Rights. This shows what rights have been licensed such as broadcast, streaming, Etc. Here is that formula. IF(AND({Contract Ended?}= “No”,({Exclusive?}=“Exclusive”)),Rights & ‘\n’ & {Holdback Rights}, BLANK()) The problem we are having is that there is no geography associated with the second formula and we need to figure out how to do that. It currently just gives us a list of rights licens

Hello! I am looking to create a formula where the autonumber resets based on the category code selected. Each product has an Item Number which is created using autonumber. I used another tab to create category codes for the prefix of the floor plan ID I create a formula that adds the prefx and item number to create Floor Plan ID Issue The autonumber cannot be reset contingent on the category code. The autonumber is unique to each row created. End Result I would like to have a way to be able to create codes that have the number after the prefix under Floor Plan ID show an autonumber based on the

Lets say I wanted to store a bunch of information, like bookmark URLs. I might have URLs that relate to News, Apps, Development, and these would all be in their own folder in a browser (for example). I know I could store these simply in Airtable using 3 different tables (News/Apps/Development) and each table would have just 1 column (URL). Another way to store them, using 1 table, is to have the column names be the folders where the bookmarks were stored (News/Apps/Development) and paste in the relevant URLs into the correct column. What do you think of this method of storing data? I’m sure it breaks every rule in the book about how data should be stored, where records should contain related data (in this approach that would not be true). But if I wasn’t going to do any processing of the records, would this not be a simple/efficient way to store a bunch of URLs? For one they’d all be viewable at the same time, rather than clicking between tables. Any thoughts on

Hello everyone! I have a problem that I haven’t been able to solve.

Hi! I’m new to both Airtable and building databases more generally. I have a question about junction tables. I’m trying to build a table similar to what is described in this video and on this page. But I’m stuck on a specific thing. I’m trying to build a junction table that contains a record for each association between one of 15 training programs and one of 51 faculty members. The GAP video and the Airtable support page suggest that such a table would have 615 results - one for each intersection between each of the 15 training programs and each of the 51 faculty members. And indeed, when I build my junction table, I get many hundreds of records. But the thing is, only about 10 or so of the 51 faculty members taught at any given one of the p

Hello there! I’m working on a base for our customer support team. Each record would be a ticket. I would like to add a column where our team can browse between different templates, select one, and then edit the content for it to be personalized and relevant to the client’s specific needs. Is there a field type for that, or a turnaround I can find?

I am trying to use Web Clipper to create a record from a link to a TikTok post. I want the record to include the following information: #Likes = number of likes that the post has received #Comments = number of comments that the post has received #Shares = number of shares that the post has received Would someone please help me decide what to select as “Default value”? Should it be “Text content by CSS selector”? And then what is the CSS Selector for each of these requests?

I have spent hours rebuilding my base to support the box integration for automated file uploads. created a button for the end-user to click to open the image since the thumbnails airtable provides are completely unusable. when the end-user selects the button it asks them to log in to my box account. that’s not at all helpful. id be willing to bet not helpful to anyone attempting to use this integration. I need them to hit the button and the file open. I can’t find any permissions to change or anything that looks even close to a setting for this.

Hi Airtable community! I’m working on a script to automatically merge nearly duplicate records based on given criteria (in this case, I’m using emails), and I’ve run into a couple of problems that I can’t figure out how to solve. I can’t figure out how to get the script to apply to the actual table. It currently gives me the output as a table within the scripting app instead (see screenshot of current code output). In the table within the scripting app, it seems looks like the script is having trouble merging multiple select/attachment fields. I’m not sure if that’s just an issue within the scripting app or if it would still be reflected once the script is applied to the actual table. Script: let dataTbl = base.getTable('Duplicates test'); let dataQuery = await dataTbl.selectRecordsAsync(); let result = dataQuery.records.reduce((acc, record) => { let email = record.getCellValue('Email'); let color = rec

I’m trying to import an Excel spreadsheet that contain totals hours that has to be formatted in [h]:ss format to display correctly. However, when I import to Airtable it displays the result as date with time “1900-01-09 15:52” which is what is showing formula bar in Excel. Apparently Excel formatting does this to be able to SUM hours?? I’ve tried all the formats in Excel and this is the only one that shows my data in Excel correctly. I’ve tried different formats in Airtable, but it still sees it as a date with time. Has anyone else experienced this and come up with a solution? Thanks

I intend to use Airtable and Zapier to automatically schedule social media tasks. Every day Zapier schedule checks a Primary key [Date] column in Airtable. If today’s date equals the date in the Airtable column then do some stuff… However, I keep receiving a “Record not found” message. I construct a date in the Zapier search field that matches the date format in Airtable. For example Zapier search value = 2019-08-05 In Airtable a primary key date column with the value 2019-08-05 I have confirmed the date format is yyyy-mm-dd in Zapier by hardcoding search string: 2019-08-05 against a text column in airtable and the format is yyyy-mm-dd. Then reviewing the successful output of the record in Zapier. I’m not sure if there is a specific date format beneath the covers I need to know about. One solution I have considered is to create a single line text column with the date converted to text and use this column as the lookup. Any

Hey there, so I have the issue that I have users in one table (I) and referrers in another (II). Now I want to the referrer`s count (table II) of referrals to increase every time a user enters his refer-ID (Table I). From what I gather this should work through linking refer-ID in Table I to table II through “Link to another record” but it deletes all of the records existing in it so far instead. Is there no way to simply count in one table how often a respective ID from another table shows up? Thanks a lot for your help

Hello friends, I’m trying to work out if it’s possible to create unique (per record) embedded views of a table on Stacker via some formula wizardry, rather than having to manually create a filtered view for each record. To that end, I was wondering if anyone knows if it’s possible to put URL filters into the embed code for a shared view - and if so, how I would write this? Kind regards, Matt

When I expand a record in a table I can see that the expanded record order is the same as the table. However, if I expand that record in another table, for example when using a task system, that order is not the same. How can I switch that order to match that of the original?

Hi, I am a newbie in web dev, and I am trying to get myself familiarize with Airtable. In the Hello world tutorial (Airtable Blocks SDK), I have been trying to look for the frontend/index.js file unsuccessfully… I am working in a Linux environment but cannot figure out where the file is…is it in the node_modules/@airtable file ? Can you please help ? Many thanks in advance !

How are the fields in the expanded record ordered? Can I reorder them? (I know how to hide them, but I’d like to reorder). I’d like to order them based on how our users feel entering data makes the most sense (which is not how the base I inherited is ordered). Thanks!

Is there a log somewhere that tracks who opens a base and when?

Hello, I have table B which acts as a delivery data base showing all deliveries to have occurred. I have table A with each row representing a client and a URL field within the row for a form which populates a delivery into table B (this forms is from table B). When the form link is clicked from the client record in Table A we then need to choose what client the form is being submitted for through a linked record. This is an issue because there is room for error. Is it possible to repopulate the form with the client name from Table A - I cannot find a way so any help would be appreciated.
