I have a calendar view in my AirTable base. The calendar shows activity based on a date. Currently it shows individual records that have activity on that date, but I would like to show a grouping per date instead of individual records: Example: October 13th Calls Made: 102 Texts Sent: 133 Emails Sent: 78

Hi everyone!, I’m getting stucked in this problem and I hope you all can help me with some guidance. In my company, I’m in charge of controlling the number of tasks the employees can do in a month. In order to organize this, we use a webapp that schedules the tasks. The problem is, I have to check manually person by person to see if the exceed the maximum number of tasks. Is there an integration, a source of coding or anything that can import this info from the webapp to airtable? (This is the critical step in my opinion) Thanks for any help that anyone can make :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Hi I am new to airtable so I wonder if I can somehow get all records from selected bases with status “today”. I got different bases for different topics and usually I use kanban to easily see what to do. Usually I use kanban status “today” for tasks that need to be done today. How can I see in one place all tasks with status “today” from different bases? Thank you Radek

Hi, I am new to AirTable sync and am exploring its features. I noticed that when I add a new row in the source table, the sync table doesn’t reflect that added row. Is that the way it is supposed to be? Or am I supposed to do something extra to sync the added row? LL

I have been using the Airtable as ATS, and creating the profile page for our registered customers using the Page Designer feature. It is possible to edit the layout from Page Designer Edit page, but I don’t see a way to edit the content of the fields directly from Page Designer Edit page. For editing the content of the fields on the Page Designer, I always have to go back to the record and edit the fields to make changes. Is there any way to edit the fields directly from Page Designer edit page?

Hi, We would like to set up some collaborators to see 1 view only and have the ability to comment and upload attachements to that view. We do not want them to have access to the rest of the base. Is this possible? Can you help guiding me on how to set this up? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! Meg :slightly_smiling_face:

I have a form where users can post their time-based results. To make sure data is valid I use 3 fields in the form representing hours, minutes and seconds. So I end up with 3 integers in my table. How to I make a DURATION format (h:mm:ss) out of these fields?

Hello I want to be able to send the client a grid view of a script to a client, and I want him to approve it or not, as well as put comments, but without having to enter my entire base. It is possible?

I am a newbie to AirTable. I am trying to design on Asset inventory. I have the parent equipment table, an equipment_model table, a locations table, and an asset table. All categories of the equipment share a common set of attributes (like Make, model, serial number), at the same, some other equipment has completely different sets of attributes (like frequency-range, group/Ch, assigned_frequency, etc…). I would like to track all the attributes/fields by equipment categories. What would be the best way to design the inventory? Please, see screenshots of the equipment and equipment model table

I’m using Zapier to auto-number a project number field in an Airtable base. This happens each time I enter a new project in Airtable. It all works correctly EXCEPT that when I enter several new records quickly in Airtable, the project numbers returned from Zapier are not numbered in the same order that I entered the new records. For example: I enter new records A, B, C, D in Airtable in that order. Zapier should give them project numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 Oftentimes Zapier will number them out of order, such as 3, 1, 4, 2 or some other random sequence that’s not in the same order I entered the projects. The key here is that they must be numbered in the order I entered the projects. I don’t know if it’s an Airtable issue or Zapier, but any insight you have would be greatly appreciated!

Greetings all, I have a pretty basic table that I keep my Bourbon inventory. I have a table called “bottles purchased” and another called “current inventory”. They are basically the same tables right now, as I just duplicated my original table, Bottles Purchased. In my table, I have a checkmark field that I check if it’s currently in my collection. Obviously, I can filter the checkmark on and off. But how can I add a bottle in “bottles purchased” and it gets added to my “current inventory” table upon checking the checkbox? Hope that makes sense. Thanks David

Is there a way to definitively define the sort order when linking to an existing record on a “Link to another record” field type? Let’s say we have “Table 1 (T1)” and “Table 2 (T2)”. On T2, I’ve created a linked record to T1. I’ve created a view on T1 with the appropriate sorting order (in this case, “date modified”). On T2, I’ve selected this view on the “Limit record selection to a view” setting. When I go to associate / start entering my query and filtering records from T2, it seems the order is not predictable, and certainly, not sorted by the “date modified” as I had defined in the T1 view. Any ideas how to maintain sort order from the T1’s view?

I have a multiple choice column. Many records have a particular tag. I can filter on another field to get a subset of those records. How can I remove that particular tag from all of those records

I’ve been using the URL field to display a link in every record, I click on these all the time on multiple devices. This never worked directly on the grid view in the iOS app, I always need to open the expanded view first to get to the link. Today I just learned about the Button field, and its description gave me a lot of hope I’d be able to trigger it with one click in the app, because it straight up looks like a button on the grid view. But it still just opens the expanded view of the record. Did anyone find a workaround for this? Is it reasonable to expect that this behaviour changes eventually?

Is there a way to only show certain hours for each day rather than all 24? Most of the calendar is blank space even though we have 6 events in a day. We are using this view for a programs calendar for virtual events that are mostly in the evenings.

I have used a tag many times and just notices that I misspelled it. How do I fix the spelling of it? It is in many, many records

Trying to think about the proper/organized way to do this. I currently have a personnel log of all employees on our project (we are a construction company so combo of salaried staff and hourly craft labor). This log has name/phone/email/job title/date hired/do they have an iPad issued (link from another table)/etc/etc. What we are having trouble keeping organized is safety training. In construction we have many different trainings, many safety related, that lots of different people may or may not need. The 3 sets of data we would want to link up are: The personnel log (these are the people that need training) The training schedule (when is a particular training next scheduled for) The training log (what training occurred, who took it) Basically we would have a table of past trainings that occurred, which would link to the personnel log and everyone who was in that class would be linked to the record of that class (and the certificates/sign in sheet would

Hello, Community! I am a newbie and am trying to figure out how to use Airtable for a sports team. My goal is to track attendance per week throughout the season. I’ve grasped that I should have a master table - the roster - and pull in data from linked tables - the daily attendance. I am stumped on how to set up the days/weeks/months in some sort of calendar or a list. If I need 6 days each week for 3 months and I need to know which athletes attended which days, how do I set that up? One table per month and list the dates? One table with every date? What’s the method of crediting an athlete for any of those days? How do I then pull all attendance data per athlete? Thank you!

Hi, I’m designing a Dashboard using various configurations of the Summary and Record List apps. To simplify navigation, it’d be a huge help if we could simply click a button that takes us to that specific View associated with either the summary of the Record List. Ideally, this would be something incorporated into the Dashboard’s natural layout, beside the settings or options of each app. But I understand that’s not exactly customizable. I would be even satisfied with a separate app that I’ve manually set to take you to the View in question, and just sits beside the Record List. Does something like this currently exist that I could incorporate?

Hello! I want to sync an Airtable view to Google Calendar. The initial sync works fine but any updates thereafter do not show up in Google Calendar. Has anyone found a solution? I saw a thread on this from 2018-2019 but wondering if there is a solution by now. Here is the original thread: https://community.airtable.com/t/ical-is-not-updated-in-google-calendar/1449 Google Calendar not updating when Airtable is updated

My client has a Squarespace website and we are looking for a solution to embed a searchable resource database on this public site. Visitors to the website would be able to filter by topic, keyword, etc. Will Airtable do this? Thanks in advance.

I am trying to set-up base for tracking some financial information. Can someone help me with how to do this (I might be missing something obvious or it may be can’t be done :D). I will try to simplify it so it’s clearer. I have two fields A & B and Status. Everything that I will explain happens in same record. I will use column B to write amount to be paid. When someone change status to Paid, I would like to input value from B into A, after which I would reset the status and “empty” field B. Then I would enter new value for B and when status is again changed to Paid, I need it to add new value of B to previous value of A (basically B=B+A). I need this process to repeat multiple times (every time someone enter new value for B and change status to Paid). I hope this is clear enough so you can understand. If something is unclear, I will try to expl
