Any way to Isolate or hide data in the base via access or other means?If I create an inteface with linked data from another base, will the base data be visible by those who have base access? This is relevant when attempting to report on the status of legal work where the repoting dashboard interface needs the metrics however not everyone needs to have access to the back-end data related to the specific cases.  I hope I am explaining this so it’s understandable.   

I’m trying to filter using linked records but i must have a mental block. Table A is People Records. it is linked to: Table B: Service Records (multi records) Table C: Congregation (one record) Table C is Congregation. It is linked to: Table D: Districts (one record) Note: it is NOT linked to Service Records, but does have a lookup field to Service Records (from People). Table D has lookup fields for: Service Records (from Congregations) I want to report the number of Districts that had at least one Congregation that has a Service Record that meets the following criteria:Service contains “2025 11” {Service is the “Name field”} Service does not contain “Cancelled” {Service is the “Name field”}I also want to report the number of Congregations that have a People Record with a Service Record that meets the same criteria.

Hi,I'm building a Kanban-style interface that needs to display data from two separate sources.Goal: The first column of the Kanban should list Job Listings (Source 1). The subsequent columns should display relevant Candidate Profiles (Source 2). A single candidate would be able to be placed more than once in the Kanban with different Job listing. Essentially, I want to map multiple candidates to a single job listing within the Kanban view.Currently, I'm struggling to set up this dual-source data structure in the interface.Is there a standard or recommended method for achieving this job-to-candidate grouping functionality?

We’ve embedded Airtable to a knowledge base article on Zendesk. When accessing the article on your laptop or desktop, you’ll see all the features that you would normally have like filter, group, etc. at the top of your Airtable base. However, on mobile, those features do not show up, making it difficult for us to support our mobile users. Even selecting the “view larger version” link doesn’t help. Is there a way for us to default it to show the web version of the Airtable base in the embed? Or is this a known bug or product gap?

I have added some new views and a form in the production view, but they are not appearing in the sandbox view, so I am unable to create any automation specifically around the form I created.How do I sync back to the sandbox?

no one in our company is receiving a notification when using the @mentions feature in the comments section. Until two days ago this was working flawlessly. I have tested several variations to ensure the issue is not limited to a single user or group. Is anyone else experiencing this problem (12/05/25)

I have some domain data that updates daily, and I need the data to be aggregated by domain as new entries are created each day. I tried using Rollup, but it only links one set of domain records. I have data for the same domain across two more days, but it’s not being summed. How can I automate this? Is there a better approach?

I have a table with a linked field to another table. The linked field refers back to the primary key of the table I am linking back to (eg a unique project number) but that is just numbers and it doesn’t mean anything to most users when searching. Is there any way I can have the linked field search for the name of the project rather than typing in the unique primary key to the record I want to link back to? I have added a lookup field but this only pulls in the project name field once I have linked back using the link field by entering the corresponding unique job number,

Hello, I have a table where all records are auto populated by a Webflow form submission through Zapier. Everything works fine except one small thing. Every time a user sends a form and the main text field has commas in it Airtable splits this record in multiple records. Example: Form Submission: Watchmen #12 "A Clock at Midnight, Its Face Running with Blood, Cover Original Art" Airtable Records: 1st Record: Watchmen #12 "A Clock at Midnight, Its Face Running with Blood, Cover Original Art 2nd Record:Watchmen #12 "A Clock at Midnight 3rd Record:Its Face Running with Blood 4th Record:Cover Original Art Is there any way to avoid this? I just want the first record not the second, third or fourth. Thanks

I’m not sure if this is possible with AirTable, but I’m hoping someone more savvy can help me brainstorm a solution. BACKGROUND: I’m a lawyer, and I’d like to create a database of cases that are cited in briefing, so that I can go back and reference my notes / summaries of each case when they are cited again in a new case. The thing I’m struggling with right now is whether there is a way to associate each case with its Jurisdiction (the court that decided the case) and its Reporter (the publication where the case appears). There is a limited universe of Jurisdictions and Reporters, most of which I have pulled into separate tables already. Cases come from one of the following: The U.S. Supreme Court One of the state supreme courts One of the U.S. Courts of Appeal One of the state appellate courts One of the U.S. District Courts One of the state trial courts Each case from

Any plans to allow the admins to adjust the user data fields similar to how the bases are configured with the ability to select and hide/delete fields we want to see by users depending on the use case? Or use a field selection similar to Service Now’s field selection? Currently what I see on the Admin panel is very limited and I don’t see the ability to adjust (add or delete)  

I have found some posts on printing mailing labels via Page Designer, but they were from 2018. Since it is 2023, I was hoping if there was a way to print on Avery labels with Airtable. I don't have an actual label printer, just a regular old printer and some Avery sheet labels. Be aware that every label would be unique.Example: 

I run a small non-profit and we use Airtable to track all of our donors/volunteers/etc. I want to do address labels for a mailing. We currently have the columns set up as First Name, Spouse Name, Last Name, Street Address, City, State, Zip. Is there an easy way to print labels from Airtable? If the best way is to export, then how do I get around that my columns are too specific (ie I need First, Spouse, Last name to be one line, and City, State, Zip to be one line). Thanks!

I would like to print mailing labels from my database. How to do it?

I have used the block “Page Designer” to create a 3x5 label which I would like to then print to a rolled label printer one at a time or as needed. We will affix these labels to the front of our job folders for internal use. Has anyone used a Rollo Label Printer – Commercial Grade Direct Thermal High Speed Printer or something comparable to accomplish this? It appears this type printer is used mainly for shipping purposes, and I am worried airtable will not communicate well with it for printing purposes. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Is Airtable’s Map app embeddable? If not, what tools do you use to embed? The self help article doesn’t cover this: Airtable Support

I just added a new user as Portal Editor in a portal interface. Let’s call them {USERNAME}After they used the portal, Airtable upgraded their seat to Editor.(I am the only admin, and I know this upgrade was not done by me, so it was done by Airtable) The Admin panel lists the upgrade event as, “{USERNAME} made edits to Interface {INTERFACE}"Now, I know that {USERNAME} didn’t actually edit the interface, because they don’t have base access. And I know that portal editors are *supposed* to be able to change fields via the interface.So what the heck does the upgrade event “{USERNAME} made edits to Interface {INTERFACE}" mean? I can’t find this documented anywhere.Thanks for any insight,Natalka

While trying to import a CSV file in Airtable, I got the least helpful error message possible: Not very informative! If anyone’s seen this and has a suggestion, I’m all ears… Natalka

Hi everyone 👋 I’m using Airtable on the Team Plan, and I manage several bases within the same workspace.Each base is shared with different people (some as Editor, Commenter, or Read-only).I want to make sure that none of these collaborators especially Editors, Commenters, or Read-only users can duplicate, copy, or move my bases into their personal workspaces. What should I do?  Thanks for your help.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 SIGN-UP USING THIS LINK 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨Hey!!For the last few months the idea of running a Community Led Airtable Hackathon has been lingering in my head. When, how, and what is not clear at all to me yet, so I wanted to open up the discussion early on to make sure this is really community led.Brainstorming:Format: Virtual (for sure). Synchronous (everyone builds during a given time frame) or asynchronous (projects submitted over a few weeks). Themes: Specific theme (e.g. procurement, marketing ops, nonprofits, etc.), or leave it totally open to “build w

Hi all, We use Airtable for project management and one challenge we often have is searching for something via a keyword or name--something that would help us find a project without knowing the exact title of the record. Is there any sort of add-on that would help with this? Or is there something we can do to make fields show up in search results? Thanks.

Now that Airtable has deprecated static URLs for image attachments (or at least will some time in March or whatever), server side generated apps that use Airtable as a CMS backend can't use Airtable for image hosting anymore. Instead, combination solutions such as hosting images on aws s3 and putting image URLs in Airtable is necessary. This is because the URL provided by Airtable for an image attachment "expires" after a few hours, and a sever side generated app is "hardcoded" with the expired URL.I have a client that's not interested in two part solutions like this, and wants their CMS backend in one place. Is there a paid feature to switch back on static image attachment URLs permanently? This was a really easy, user-friendly way (especially for non devs) to have a CMS backend.  If not, I'll need to investigate another CMS backend solution for my client. 

Hello! I am trying to create a PDF-generating script using Scripting extension. When I run a script, I get an error message, "Can't set cell values: Field 'XXXX' is computed and cannot be set." Any idea how I can fix it?

Curious to know if this is happening to anyone else? My invoice just skyrocketed because of AirTable switching my portal editors to editors without my doing. Very frustrated. 

I have completed Airtable certificate like Builder, Admin, AI App Builder. Can I get to know about developer certificate?
