I have added new records to my base, but editors cannot see them and I’m unable to see them when I move over to my mobile app (with the same logins as desktop). This happens sporadically - other records added in the same website session may appear. There is no difference between the records that appear and the records that don’t.

Hi there folks! I’m encountering this kind of issue with one of my private links to a specific view: The view I’m refferring to contains fields with links to records in other tables. When people use the private link to access the view, they’re able to see it, but can’t do anything when it comes to linked fields. I’d like to make them able to click on the linked record and allow them to read all the details of it. Is there any way to do it?

Hello, How can i get list of view use Airtable Api ?

I’m trying to create a Request For Quote & Pricing system that allows a salesman to upload an image and details of a product, sourcing team to add more details and invite 50 suppliers to login and see what RFQs they have and enter their prices without seeing each others’ data. All these prices appear to the sourcing team compiled on 1 sheet. Sales cannot see these ‘raw’ prices. Sourcing adds in a bunch of additional costs some of which are determined automatically based on details from sales’ initial request + a profit margin and send it back to Sales’ initial sheet where they requested. Is this possible in Airtable with invited users only able to see their column in a spreadsheet? Are the 50+ suppliers able to login and enter their prices without me having to pay for a user for each of them?

Hi! I was looking at airtable’s integrations and it says on the page that evernote is already integrated without the need for zapier or other 3rd party app. But I can´t seem to find it!

Hello everyone, I am new to airtable, have been trying out a possible solution for my company for a few days now. Currently I have a table created with all the data I need. I have just created multiple Views with the results I want each collaborator to see and edit. What I don’t want is for them to see all the Views I have created. I know this is not possible(or is it?), but is there any other I could possibly go around it? What I am trying to do is create a database of Cars(car dealership) that are ready to be delivered. But they go through a process(the one I am creating right now). That said, I have a single table with all the fields I need to be filled. I have then created multiple views only showing the data each department needs to fill. I just don’t want collaborators to see or edit all the views. I want each department to only be able to See/Edit their own View. IF this is not possible, what can I do to achieve such results? Thanks in advance, hope you can help me, Daniel

Hi, Does the block-chart respond to the filter settings in the table? I want that my sales chart only show the results of one district, but if I set the filter for that district name the table responds with the filter but the chart doesn’t. Any tips? Robert

I plan to make a database of transactions between users. In that case I can easily reach 1.200 rows, this means only 35 users making 35 tx between each other… this is nothing. Even 50k is too limited: only 200 users 200 transactions each. Am I understanding correctly the “Records” limit? Thanks. Javier Bonet

Hello All! I am new to Airtable…I would like to use the Kanban view to write my email content; however, the order in which I want to write the copy is getting messed up with the ordering of the fields. For example, in the Grid view I added a Preview Text field to the right of the Subject Line field. However, when I open in the Kanban view, the Preview Text field appears down towards the bottom. Is there any way to rearrange the order of fields within the Kanban view? For some reason, I’m not able to add screenshots or links here )-: Thank you, Laura

I want to share a database that I created with other people - not my own personal version with my data, but allow them to enter their own data in their own version of my database. Is this possible?

I’m using a Kanban view. When opening one of the records, I open a linked record from another table. How to I control which fields of that related record are shown vs hidden? It seems random.

Hello. I have an idea of an objective I would like to accomplish using AirTable, but I am uncertain which AirTable functionalities to leverage to complete the desired objective. I would like to be able to use the information I have inputted into several linked tables in a base to generate and export reports, spreadsheets, etc. What is the best way to do this? I know that I can export the information in the AirTable as a CSV file, but, when doing so, all of the linked information is left behind. What would be the best way to generate/export a report that includes all of the information in a given table, as well as the information linked to that table? Thank you.

I have a Page Designer setup for a table, when I change the table to another, all elements has gone! Is there a way to use the same Page to a different table with the same field structure?

Is there a way to initialize fields of type Created Time and Modified Time from existing records of an imported sheet? That way, those fields will be correct for imported records and will be automatically updated as we add and edit subsequent records.

Hi, maybe some of you already faced this kind of need and can provide some helpful insights :slightly_smiling_face: Our team is looking to document feedback we’re collecting in meetings and interviews with clients. We currently have a base that has a Features table (that surprisingly includes all our features, their status, collaborators etc.) and a Customers table (that’s just a list of customers, their launch date, and a link to features they’re requesting). We’re looking to add feedback from customers, that would relate or link to both existing table (to see all feedback on a specific feature, and all feedback from a specific customer), and preferably would include both a calendar of past and future meeting with customers. I would really like to separate each comment so we can see all feedback on specific feature and customers. Thanks

Is there a way to autofill a field from prior values in the same column?

I’ve been playing around with a template that doesn’t quite meet my needs for weeks, and trying to develop one from scratch. I could use the hive-mind help. I have a product table linked to a vendor table. I am looking to have public users submit a form (ie make an inquiry/purchase) by clicking on a product tile rather than a generic form that then forces them to choose a product from a dropdown list of all products. Zapier should be able to generate the communications between buyer and seller. Any templates out there? Any designer/developer want to help walk me through a plan? Thanks! Stu

Hello, all. I’m tinkering with the Batch Update block, in order to update values in a single-line text field. I’m looking to append text either to the front or end of the field’s existing values. Is there a way to reference a field’s existing value in the “New Value” box? So if the field I’m updating is “Name”, I would write something like [Name] & "_AddThisText" …or does the Update Value process only update to literal text strings?

Hi everyone! I’m new to Airtable and would like to setup an automated email reminder that triggers 2 days before a given deadline date placed in one column of an Airtable base. Ideally, this date could either be a new record or an updated existing record, triggering the same email reminder 2 days before due. And the email reminder would include all the pertinent data from other cells in the deadline’s row. I really liked a similar feature in Google Sheets called “Remind” but it’s not functional anymore. Thanks for your suggestions@!

Love this block, but it’s difficult to get a bird-s eye view (which is the point of a Gantt chart) due to the white space between the items. I’d suggest 3 levels of “compactness”: Ultra Compact, Compact, and Normal (what it’s like now).

It took me a while to discover that the reason why “single select” was not available in the column menu, was because that column was the “primary field”. I’m not sure why this quirk exists, but is there a workaround?

Hi, I wanted to know before I upgrade to the Pro plan if I can remove the branding when I embed into my website. (see below image) Seems like this can only be done with Forms but not a table?

Hi friends I recently tried to use automate.io to integrate typeform and airtable, the integration I used for that was the following: where I only want each record of typeform to be a record within a specific table. which I attach its configuration; where I send from a form of 5 simple records to 5 records of the same type of data. The detail is that after registering some typeform, then when checking the table gives me the following error, which is the identified of the typeform form, I do not understand why gives that error placing a record in that table and then in another record the capture of that form. If anyone knows how to remove that error, I would appreciate it.

I need to freeze the top 4 rows in my table. Seems like only the top row is frozen, and I cannot drag and drop the separator line down as in Google Sheets, to move it below the 4th row. Is this not currently possible in AT?

Hello, I just got into Airtable today, so this question might be stupid, sorry in advance. I would like to have the minimum of the starting time per day (and the maximum of the end-time), however on the bottom I would like to calculate the average of these minimums(/maximums). A simple answer would be highly appreciated!
