Sorry I do search the help topics honestly - why is that I cannot see blocks - it is in a base that has been shared with me, the lady who has shared it is a pro user, I am a pro user, we work for the same organisation collaborating on the same base but because it’s showing as a shared base rather than in my pro workspace I cannot see the blocks :frowning: - any ideas? Coincidently when I share a base with her she can see the blocks whereas I just get an option to upgrade

Newbie question - I have a total of 2981 records across 4 tables (2840 + 123 + 3 + 15) in my workspace. 2 of these tables 2840 and 123 are linked through certain columns. My usage shows 5734 records. What is causing the count to almost double up? :thinking: Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Hello. Our team has a problem with unexpected debits due to the creation of too many billable collaborators. That is, we created three users without realising they would be billable. We need only the one billable user on our PRO plan. One of the debits is a strange amount not related to the published rates for the plan. We have cancelled all our Airtable users and have been forced to continue development under the FREE plan. We understand that there is a pro rata refund available in this situation, but what we seem to have been given is a promise of a reduction in future fees. This would not be suitable. But we cannot know anything for sure until we get into some sort of dialogue with Airtable. However, our office manager has sent a request, via the in-app form, for assistance with this problem three times over the last two months and received NO REPLY from Airtable. Does anybody know how to get support from Airtable? In the meantime we are sending a priority m

I’m having an issue with the “new record in a view” trigger for Zapier. I have records that will be moving in and out of several views based on user activity. The same record may enter or exit a view several times, but I want the Zap to trigger each time. However, a certain record can only trigger the Zap for a specific view once. If it exits that view and reenters, it will not trigger the Zap a second time. Zapier explained that this is due to Airtable not supporting webhooks. I was wondering, has anyone else found a workaround for this?

I’ve been using Airtable for several years with no problem. But in the last month or so, when I’m viewing my bases and I scroll up and down, the scrolling is super glitchy. It will either slow waaaay down or freeze completely. When it freezes, once it starts functioning properly, it will shoot me up/down really rapidly. I usually filter as Posts by Platform, but even if I filter it differently, I still have the same prob. I’m not having scrolling issues with anything else on my computer, so it can’t be a mouse battery issue or anything like that. Thoughts?

I’ve populated all the required field in a particular view. It’s now supposed to automatically go to a different view but it’s not. I’ve tried refreshing the screen and still doesn’t move.

The Sharing Views feature just stopped working. I’ve consistently shared view of Kanban Tables and embedded them on my website for the past couple of years. Yesterday, clicking the "Embed this view on your site started taking me to an Airtable page with the following message… Sorry, the page you were looking for was not found. Return home or get some help. This is a critical feature for my business, and I’m unable to contact Airtable by telephone, and have to wait up to 72 hours to get my business back up and running??? Not saying the problem is Airtable’s fault, but you guys need a better support model if you want to keep my business. Love the product, but losing confidence in your ability to communicate with the customer.

Hello! I work for a university and have made a gallery view of research resources to be displayed on our department website. I only want a few sections displayed on the cards, however I want more sections displayed when someone clicks on a card. I also do not want everything to show when someone clicks on the card; just a few other sections that are not displayed on the card itself. When selecting sections to show and hide, this also applies to when you select the card and I am trying to customize the views on both the card and when you select it. Is this possible? And can someone help me figure this out? Thank you in advance!

I’m having trouble re-ordering table tabs when I have a lot of tables. Scenario: Create base with ~20 tables Use > to view the last set of tabs Try to re-order any of the last set of tabs to show up on the first set of tabs. ** Drag the tab all the way to the left so it is the first tab that appears. Note that dragging it over the < does not scroll the tabs. ** Use < to navigate to the first set of tabs. The tab you are trying to re-order scrolls off the right and is not visible to continue dragging I think the < > tab scroll controls should have at least one tab of overlap to avoid this problem, or that the tabs should scroll when dragging a tab off the end. As a workaround, I tinker with the window size until I can move the tab incrementally until it shows up on the first set of tabs. Any easier workarounds?

Is there a way to automatically tag a person/collaborator (in a comment) when the value of a certain field has been changed?

Hi all, I’m having trouble using the web-clipper-block to extract the right content by CSS selector from a particular website with property listings. This is the particular page layout here: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/property/residential/sale/listing/2682804794?bof=dTT5vgUf I’ve had a go inspecting the code, however, still having no luck.

Hey there, I’m trying to generate a unique URL that someone gets in SMS or email and by open it, it’s run a script that checks a checkbox. The purpose of the script is to accept an invitation. Does someone have an idea how to do that?

I have a base with many tables. I’d like the interface to be buttons that if one clicks on a button a filtered list (in kanban form) will display. Can this be done within Airtable?

We have a large database with hundreds of records tracking IT equipment. I want to be able to find if person X used to have a monitor. They may have returned it and as we are tracking the equipment by serial (not the person). That monitor has now be redeployed to someone else so the current user field has changed. So if I search for person X nothing comes up. However, in one of the records, in the history, will be a record of that person’s name. But I do not know what record. How can I tell the search to dig deeper than what is currently shown? Thanks

Hi - I plan on making my table viewable by the public. I’d like to see how many unique visitors and total views on the table. Airtable Support team said this is currently not a native feature - anyone found a workaround for this? Thanks for the help!

Hi, I’m new to Airtable and looking to set up a contract tracker which also can work out income per period using formulas based on stated dates. Any advice on which template would best accommodate this? Have looked thro the templates but don’t see much financial analysis in there so I’ve set off using the ‘Business Contract Tracker’ template for now. Any advice on which might be better before I invest set up time would be much appreciated. Ad

Hi, I have created a form view for a table but when I test the form, the responses aren’t captured in the table. I’ve looked through all the documentation and I can’t see anything that gives direction on how to make it active, or if you even need to do that. What am I missing?! Thanks.

Hi there, so i have a question related to a monthly/yearly payment and how that works with collaborators. I noticed that I could pay for a Pro subscription for let’s say a month or year - and then from there, invite others to my workspace. How does this work with collaborators if i already payed for a year? If i’m already collaborating on a workspace with somebody and then i want to upgrade to Pro, then i have to pay twice the amount, but i pay before i invite someone I only pay once? That seems a bit odd. Could someone clarify this for me? My “problem” is that i do all the setup for a friend of mine. I designed his workflow and he just works with a mobile app to fill the data. But i’m not sure if i have to pay for 2 people each time? i’m not really using it anymore after i do all the setup, just maintaining a bit for some improvements. I like to stay the owner and he the editor so he can’t change important stuff.

Is there a way for me to remove myself from a base which someone has shared with me? I no longer want it to appear in my “bases shared with me” section

Hello, We are using Airtable to manage video editing tasks. We have a workspace for every video editor, and in every workspace there are multiple projects for the clients the editor has. In every project there is a column with Due Date for the video. Is it possible to create a project, that would show all submissions based on the Due Date? In this table I would like to see Tasks that are near the Due Date and tasks that are late. When video is confirmed and final files are uploaded, we remove the Due Date, so I would only see the videos that are still in progress. All help will be appreciated, Thank you!

I have created a formula referencing key dates that returns the values of “Past”, “Present”, or “Future”. I would like to filter a view showing only “Present” or “Future” records. I also want to filter out any record where the status is “Rejected” I can do (PPF means Past, Present or Future): Where PPF contains Present Or PPF contains Future This satisfies my first requirement. But I’d like to add: And Status is not Rejected But it only allows another “Or” statement, not an “AND” statement Alternately (preferably) I’d like to be able to say: Where PPF contains “Present” or “Future” Perhaps my syntax is wrong, but the filter for text fields doesn’t seem to offer boolean operations like this. My work around is to have a single-select field rather than formula where I can just choose “Past”, “Present” or “Future”. This allows me to choose the “is any of” option in the filter. But then I have to update these fields manua

I have employees fill in an Airtable form to submit time they work on each billable client/project. To save them time I want it to automatically fill in that day’s date. But by chance, if they enter time a day late I want them to have the option to change that date if needed. I haven’t been able to locate the answer to this quite yet, although I’m sure it may be out there. Thanks for any help to this Airtable newb!

I sure would appreciate a Dashboard system for Views, to match the Dashboards available for Blocks. If I have 4 types of Views, and each of my 50 people needs to see them, and it’s easier for my 50 people to have these as distinctive Views rather than consolidated into one… I’d really like to have a Dashboard for each View type, rather than a single list of 200 Views. While I’m at it - copying the configuration of one View to the others would be greatly enhanced if we could do it in the opposite direction - starting with the “Template” View, apply its configuration to all 50 Views of that type at once. Would increase time-savings and reduce errors.
