On the expanded view, on the desktop you can hide fields; however, in the iPad version this feature is missing. This is terrible as there are certain fields I don’t want shown and seriously clutters up the screen. Airtable, is this even on the radar for adding? This is a pretty important feature when trying to roll out on an iPad. Anyone know of a work around? This has been a feature request as far back as 2016 (https://community.airtable.com/t/is-it-possible-to-hide-fields-in-a-view-on-the-mobile-app/14511) but that thread was closed. Not sure why. If it was answered on a different thread I must be missing it. Is it possible to hide fields in a expanded view on the mobile app?

Story: I create 2 forms (F1 & F2) to receive feedback from 2 products (they are linked to our products with the buttons of “report a problem”). Each form has different fields. So when user posts issue from F1, there is a record in airtable with Source = F1 for example. I can know where the issue from. Also it is integrate with zapier to send email with different format for each source. Issue: I can’t set Source = F1 for form 1 and Source = F2 for form 2 by default? Dev team can help to set default value for it but it is should be visible in the form. The expected result: can be able to set default value for each field defined in a form view can be able to add a field in a form and make it hidden to user Is it possible? or you have any suggestion, please tell me. Thank you

Ok this is doing my head in - I am trying to make a database of each lead that comes to us - so they call up and we take their details (it is inputted into our main Airtable grid), then the lead adds to that information in a Pre-Appointment Form that is sent to them & finally an Appointment form is completed. I need all this information to feed into one line entry but at the moment it is coming up in three separate entries. Can anyone help?

I have a base with 3 tables. I want to share 2 of them with my employees. I know I can share them separately, but I have them linked, so I want them to be able to see the linked records. Alternatively, I know I could just move the 1 table I don’t want them to see into it’s own private base, but I really want them all together for me, just not my employees. Thanks

Yesterday I wanted to generate a risk register (multiple records-lines). This a a report based on a large table of risks, and when printed takes multiple pages to contain all records. In the block “Page Designer” It generates the report, but just one page, not containing all records. Can somebody assist me on which settings to use to have a fulle report with all records, regardless the number of pages?

I’m at PBS NewsHour. I’m helping design a base for a media program in which we keep track of assets (videos, clips, release forms, fonts, photos). We’ll be making submission Forms for each. What would be a good primary key for such a table? Do we need each form to include that field or can it be left blank or somehow automatically filled by airtable? Cheers Eli

Hello ~ We are having some INTERMITTENT integration issues with JotForm and Airtable. Although JotForm and Airtable are syncing properly using the 3rd party interface on JotForm, we have experienced a few (roughly 2%) form submissions that are not updating into Airtable. We haven’t been able to diagnose this issue very well b/c it is intermittent. It’s possible that Airtable is not updating when Airtable is not open on our browser window. In other words, when the JotForm receives a submission while Airtable is closed that record is not created. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? Just to be clear, we are creating records just fine 98% of the time with the same form being tested. Thank You! Eric D.

I have a tab that is used to register partner leads. It has a column that links to my partner tab, specifically a view that only shows the partner’s names. I have created a form where the partner fills it out, finds their partner name and adds it to the form. The prob

Hi all, I can’t find any sign of an answer so thought I’d try to community. I have got the hang of the Page Desinger block and even mastered multiple pages. However, when I go to print I lose all my formatting - specifically border and text weights. Am I doing something wrong or can Airtable not convert Page Deisgner to Print? This seems counter intutitve after having all the functionality to set weights. Any thoughts? Thanks Megan

Hi I had a view in one of my sheets and the view just went missing. I don’t know where it went. Do you know how to retrieve a lost view? not a lost base but a view within that table.

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question… How do I make a spreadsheet? Like Google sheets? Air Table: I read it was like a spreadsheet but much better. All I need for the moment though is just the basic spreadsheet. I’m sure I’ll get round to using the more advanced items later. Thanks.

Hello, I’d like to know if it’s possible to post or embed a record from a page designer block to a website? For example, we use the page designer block to create a price list. Is it possible to post this as a pdf download link on our site so it’s always up to date automatically?

Hello and thanks for any help you can provide. I have a form built to have orders placed, we have a linked table of member shops, there are around 6,000 shops, Currently it only shows the shop names on the list. Many of the shops have similar names. Is there a way to get the dropdown list to also show the city, customer number, Owner name to help confirm which shop is ordering?

Hello all! Il wouldlike to add buttons in my dashboard to go on a grid or in another dashboard. Do you know if it’s possible? Thanks for your help!

I work with a company and we have 3 different airtable pro accounts. Is there a way to link them to one workspace so I can share and edit bases within this workspace and not get charged an additional feel even though the others have their own account?

I feel like this is a very basic question, but after I use table switcher (ctrl+J) to switch tables using the keyboard, I then want to be able to keyboard around the records and fields in the table I have just switched to. But at present I am ‘stuck’ and can’t get to the point where a field is highlighted, unless I mouse click on a record, which is what I’m trying to avoid. The only solution is to ctrl-F, type something and then hit enter when a cell is selected. From there I can keyboard around between fields and records in the usual way (arrow keys etc). It feels like the tab key should do this - ie move me ‘into’ the table - but it doesn’t.

I am really hoping someone knows how to do this, if it’s possible. My records have fields such as Name, Last Name, Email Address, etc. What I would like is to be able to send a Form to the attendees of an event, have them fill it out, attach a pdf and submit it. That pdf should then save into a specific column in the correct person’s row. Tying it to the person’s email address seems like the best way to identify which record to tie it to. And I’ve created a form that asks for Name, Last Name, Email Address and then the file. But how do I link the submitted pdfs to this column in my sheet? I only seem to have the option to either have a linked field, or an attachment field.

Hello all! I want to intergrate in my airtable project a custom block create by a user. For that I have to go to “Remix for Github” option to copy/paste a github link but I can’t find the “Remix for Github”. Can you help me please? Thanks!!

I work in a real estate office and have created a base to track sales of all the Realtors for the company. So far I have it set up to automatically calculate commission amounts as well as keep a running total of pending sales volume and closed sales volume. I have tables created for the various transaction scenarios, which are all linked back to an “Agents” table which stores information on each agent, such as their current commission level and a running balance of their sales volume. So far everything is calculating perfectly but the agents are set up on a tiered commission plan which means they have the potential of moving up to a higher level. Right now my tables are set up to calculate a commission based on the current level each agent is at, but if someone moves to the next level, how can I structure it to where it will calculate at the new commission level without changing the sales that were previously entered? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

I’m looking at using a Gannt chart to adjust dates of projects as needed. If I drag dates further out, the tasks that are dependent on them move appropriately. If I then drag to an earlier date, the tasks that were dependent DON’T also move to an earlier date. WHY??? To make things even weirder, if I drag one task that is dependent on another to an earlier date, it forces the tasks ABOVE to move back which doesn’t seem like that should be a thing (aka a subtask is forcing the timelines of higher tasks). Any thoughts on how I can make this work better?

As you can see from my screenshot, I have a weird behaviour with my formula. It converts 2019 into 2020 for an unknown reason… Here is my formula to calculate the number of days between the download of an App and the moment where a user make a specific action. As you can see, sometimes, the user made this action multiple times, so I must use an other formula to get only the first 10 characters so I can compute it with the download date… FirstCallDateSingle : DATETIME_PARSE(LEFT(CONCATENATE(FirstCallLookup),10),‘AAAA-MM-DD’) DeltaInscriptionVsFirstCall : DATETIME_DIFF(FirstCallDateSingle, { :calendar: Created At​:writing_hand:t2:}, ‘days’) & " Jours"

Hello all, I’m trying to set up database that shows the relationship between boat brands and boat dealers (i.e., what boat dealers sell which boat brands) and I’ve run into a confusing problem. One of the records in the boat brands table switches between 2 names - Sea Bass and Robalo - and I have no idea how to fix it. The brands are not duplicates nor are they associated in any way. How can I fix this? This issue is affecting the data my boss needs to help move forward with a project. Thank you!

I use the invoice generator app when using airtable on my PC but cant get it to appear when I log in through my IOS apps. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you

I have a base with several tables that link. We are a horse show association and I’m trying to pull together either a view that I can share with my members or a report I can download to paste on our website. I have these fields Last Name First Name Horse Name Type Discipline Class Points Our members can earn points in any class. So I need a report that shows classes and the points associated. They may have 1 row or 100+ rows for a single class. I need to sum the Points for each class by name/horse name. They can also earn points in disciplines. Similar to classes, I need to sum the points for each discipline. Then I have a tricky one - our overall. It sounds like it should be easy, just the total number of points a member/horse earn. But we pull out one type of class for most members. If they show in both types of classes they can only earn points in one type based on what they select at the beginning of the year. Th
