Add a calendar key to a calendar view

Hello, I have a calendar view of a database coloring the records “the same as” and then checked a single-select field called category in the database. The coloring works perfect but I would like to know if it is possible to add a calendar color key on top or the side so you can at a glance check what the colors correspond to which type of entry in the category field. Thank you,

Scripting: fetch breaks the app execution

I’m having a problem using fetch with the scripting app. My code looks like this: records.forEach(async (record) => { try { // works until here const response = await fetch(...) // never gets here either } catch (err) { // never gets here either } } ) It seems like there’s something going on with fetch that breaks further execution and I’m unable to debug it.

We use forms for a maintenance checklist. Works perfectly. But now we have to put a extra checkpoint appear on the same checklist every 2 weeks. Is that possible on the same checklist? I cannot do it through the conditions. Has anyone have an idea for this?

Pulling in records from another table to a single record in one table

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by. I have two tables, a “Properties” table which contains all the properties, their type, configuration, and amenities, and a “Members” table which contains the member fields their desired property configuration, desired property type, and the amenities they need. I’m trying to create a new field on the Members table which has a list of properties(from the Properties table) matching the member’s needs. I’m pretty new to Airtable and I’m not sure how to achieve this. Any amount of help is highly appreciated. Tysm in advance.

Hi everyone, I’m new to Airtable and I would like to seek some help on the project I’m creating. I have a 3000+ collection of listings worldwide. These listings are currently divided into four in according to continents. Then main destination which is the country, sub divided into region.

Making classes "unavailable" once taken or scheduled

Complete noob here. Building a system to track a series of classes we’re teaching internally. Each employee is assigned to a learning track, which includes a specific series of classes/modules. I have the data linked to show which classes/modules are in each learning track, and which employees are in which learning track…but I’m trying to wrap my head around a way to “grey-out” or “hide” classes already taken by an employee (so they don’t accidentally get assigned to the same class twice). I’d be glad to share my work…although I suspect someone will just say “durp, do this”… Thanks for ANY advice!!!

Project Plan Questions

Greetings All, I am interested in using Airtable for project management. I would like to get the structure of the project plan(s) organized properly so that I do not find out later that I put a lot of work into it and got it wrong. Ultimately, I would like to have one high level Gannt chart that shows the timelines for multiple projects. Beyond that, I would like to customize each project differently. For our Core System Project for we would have a list of features for each aspect of the development project as well as a list of tasks and mockups. We will have integrations to other systems that I would like to define as sub-projects of main development project. Beyond that and at the same level as our Core System Project, we would like include other projects such as Marketing, Social Media Engagement, Training Programs, Supplier Onboarding, Country Rollout Plan, etc. These other projects would have tasks, but not features. So can I create multiple projects and have them all visible i

Changing text color

I know this question has been asked before but can you change the colour of text in a text box? We have developed a workspace tracking our clients, however we would like to highlight text using a different colour to draw someone’s attention to that particular concern. OK, I can add a colour tab to that record but someone still possibly has to read through a mountain of data to find the particular issue that was causing concern. Having the ability to highlight or change the colour of the text would be really useful!

#ERROR! for multiple formula fields

DATETIME_FORMAT({Local Time(In Your Time)}, ‘MMMM’ Is the one field for a formula I have, and the source field, {Local Time} is the culprit because I don’t always have date in the field until I actually place a date in there, so of course, I’m getting #ERROR! for EVERY formula field that uses this source date field. I know I can nest an IF formula, but when I tried, based on another community suggestion(not my question), I got an error, so obviously, I need help with the formula LOL Suggestions? I have some other formulas, but I figured I’d start with the easier one first. Thanks!

Embedded form - long load time

Our website developer has alerted us to the fact that the Airtable form embedded on our Contact page is taking very long to load and that the Contact page has a very high bounce rate, unsurprisingly. Is there anything that can be done to make the form load faster? The problem seems to be the Airtable script. The form is embedded here: https://www.blinds-express.co.za/contact/ Some loading stats:

Advice: how do I prevent a new hire from exporting my data

How do I deal with getting specifically qualified Aritable help, but not risking someone walking away with the backbone of my business? One of the major drains on my own time is managing a few email databases in Airtable. But the contents of these databases are like the keys to my kingdom. I have some upworkers scraping email addresses full time, but I’m slow to update the databases, or even taking time to cull bounced emails, because it’s so time consuming / requires focus I don’t have right now. I know this is a random question, but I’m hopeful that someone here has had experience and can make some suggestions!! :slightly_smiling_face:

Switching Collaborators

I would like to give clients a link to edit the stacks in a kanban view. If I am paying to have just one collaborator, am I able to discontinue collaborator A and authorize collaborator B. I am an artist and would like to give a gallery the possibility of moving a piece from “Undecided” to either “Considering” or “FinalChoice”. The link would go to one gallery at a time and then be discontinued after the choices were made, thus making my single collaborator available for another gallery. Is this legit? If so, is it as simple as dropping one and adding another. Thanks for any advise you can give, J

Page Designer - output to attachment field

Is there any way I can have Page Designer output directly to an Attachment Field? I have a list of employees and I’m using Page Designer to create a visual schedule for each employee. If I could automatically save the schedule from Page Designer to the employee’s attachment field, I could use Send Grid to email their schedule. I hope that makes sense. EDIT: after a search, this post also explains what I am looking to do…Blocks: Page design inserted to record

Sending HTML emails from Airtable

I want to be able to send HTML emails to my contacts in Airtable. I’ve used the SendGrid app, but it only sends text emails. I’ve tried Zapier to integrate Airtable with Mailjet. The problem is it needs a “trigger,” and I want to sent out general emails (newsletters) without a trigger, just whenever I need to send them. Any suggestions? Is this something that a knowledgeable API person would be able to configure? I’m willing to pay someone to do it. Thank you.

Keeping track of orders with custom items and prices

For a small retail business I am looking to keep track of orders made by clients in person. It is only meant for me to see what the client has ordered so I can place the order with my supplier later. We do not use a form or catalogue as we constantly offer many different and new products with changing prices. Ideally I can simply write down multiple items per client with a simple product description, the price, and the quantity, as well as a total. Is this possible without having to create a record to link to for each separate item? Thanks.

Inventory Reconcilliation

Hello, I am trying to streamline a warehouse inventory count process with location sensitive inventory. In that process I want to be able to have several teams be able to record data of the physical count via form to be recorded in Table A. As there many teams, there will be several instances of the same product being recorded, sometimes even by different teams. I will also have a Table B from which I will have my “expected” counts generated by CSV from 3rd party inventory software. Each product will only have 1 instance in this table. The step I am having a hard time figuring out is getting, essentially a pivot table from Table A that would feed the data from each team into the “Reconcilliation” table so that each time a product is counted in Table A, it updates the total count for that team, for that product in the “Reconcilliation” rather than making a new record for each instance. for example, say I count 10 eggs in Table A. -1 egg is counted in location A and 2 in location B by Te

Hi there, I am considering transferring projects from Smartsheet to Airtable and am wondering if Airtable charges per submission. For example, if outside of organization partners submit to our airtable form, will we be charged for each person who fills out the submission form? Thank you!
