I built a master base to keep track of stories across 4 other bases using the Sync block. It’s working as an MVP, but I don’t seem to have the ability to sync the “Collaborator” field from one base to another. Why is that? Any recommended approaches?

It would be great if I could use a column value other than the unique identifier as the display value for the gantt block. That would be much better as a single line text

We have used smartsheet for our Program management and has been asked to look at airtable as some of the other teams have been using it. will appreciate insight from users who have used both airtable and smartsheet, some questions How good is airtable for work collaboration - so that extended team can collaborate at all project phases ? Gantt chart and dependency - have read negative reviews? how this can be accomplished by airtable? Parent - child relationships - smartsheet does that very nicely for Program - Project - milestone - activity level zooming tracking & reporting, can it be done by airtable? executive level dashboards - can you give read only access to executives? If we do reach a decision to use airtable, can smartsheet information be imported in airtable without loosing ( conditional formatting, formulas etc.) Thanks, P

I’m creating an RFQ form where customers will state what type of product they want, the desired quantity, and any special instructions. Is there a way to create a chart in the form where the first column is the product name, the 2nd column is the quantity, the 3rd column is the unit, the 4th column is the deadline, and the 5th column is special instructions. The chart needs to have multiple rows in case they order several products. How can I do this? Thanks!

Hello, I’ve created two forms in the same workplace, but the submissions are all being combined into one grid. Is there a way to create a separate grid for each form’s entries?

I am checking in to see if I am right with this one: When a person is assigned read only access to a base, they can see everything, but they are unable to apply any filtering or sorting of any given view. However, if a private link is provided via a url, then even without access to airtable a person can apply filtering and sorting. Is this correct? Because if so, It seems slightly odd.

Hi all! I’m creating an airtable, but I have a user that I need to be able to see just one view, but not the whole table, for privacy reasons. I also do NOT want that view to be viewable to the public (by a link). Is this possible?

Hi there! I’m wondering if anyone knows of a way to customize the text a user sees when they’re being redirected on a form? Thanks in advance for your help! James

Hello I have 6 letters going to 6 different addresses with the same address and personal information. Is there a way to automate this process where I can add the address and personal information of the person one time and place it in all 6 letter templates? Thank you

We are currently looking to collect a wide array of data on individual subjects at several data collection stations. Because of this, we have taken a single table, and have built several distinct forms off of it in order to split the data collection between different computers. For instance, on a single football player, one station may record height and weight, while another station records position and running speed. However, when we try to do this, despite having the same primary field, we have multiple records for each sample, looking something like this: Individual…Height…Weight…Position…Speed (sec) John_______6’_____200 Peter______6’2_____210 Andrew____6’4_____220 John_____________________QB________4.75 Peter_____________________WR_______4.69 Andrew___________________RB________4.20 Despite the fact that the sample in the primary field the same individual, using two forms to fill in data is causing a repeat of the individual’s entry.

I have a field of dates that are in text form (for purposes of a Zapier automation - Zapier is unable to put entries into Airtable “Date/Time” fields. If I am wrong, please let me know). It is in MM/DD/YYYY format. When we sort the field by A-Z, the MM/DD section sorts properly, but when it gets to YYYY, it is sorting “2020” before “2019”. Why is that, and is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

Hello! New Airtable user here, and I apologize if I’m being one of those people who are asking something very elementary. In reality, I’m just looking to see if what I’m trying to do is even possible. I have a base that has been set up with different tabs/tables. To keep things simple, one of them is marked AGENTS (with columns marked Agent, City, Phone Number, etc), the next is marked EVENTS (with columns marked Agent, Event Type, Length, etc) and another marked MEDIA (with columns marked as Site, Agent, Type of Media). I know how to make each table into a form which can be filled out by an “Agent”, so it feeds directly into that table. But is there a way to create a master form which fills into areas of each of these different tables? I hope that makes sense. Basically, we want to provide a form for our agents to fill in, and have it feed into a variety of tables under certain headings. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hi! Is there a keyboard shortcut to expand a linked record? Or has anyone found a different way of solving this? When interacting with mouse, clicking to expand the linked record is dangerously close to the X to remove the linked record… Thank you! Freddie

I have a form that populates a current base. Part of the form functionality asks the customer which of our locations they are contacting us about. Currently it all feeds to one base, which I group into separate segments by location. But I would prefer if each location had its own individual grid within the base. Is this possible?

I’ve got a table of monthly subscription transactions, and I’m trying to find a way to report on new and lapsed subscriptions. New subscriptions would be a list of new subscriptions from the previous month Lapsed subsciptions would be a list of subscriptions that had transactions two months ago, but did not have a transaction last month. Currently I have to download the table to Excel, run a pivot table in excel of subscriptions along with min and max month for that subscription and then do a second pivot table of months and a count of subscriptions with min month equal to that month (for new subscriptions) and a pivot table of months with a count of subscriptions with max month equal to that month. Is there some way to do this via a pivot table or chart in Airtable?

How can I restrict the email field to one (1) particular domain - for example on my form: I only want to accept emails from @example.com how can I restrict any other email domains from being entered?

Hi - new here - this is probably an easy question. I did search the forums but perhaps not using the correct terminology. I am trying to create an aggregate view summarizing data from a form people are filling out on a website. They are selecting from a dropdown indicating their geographical location - there are 40 or so selections to choose from. I then want to count all the people that choose a particular region and display that data People who chose A = 23 People who chose B= 16 and so on… I am close…I have created a linked table based on the selection - problem is that the drop down field can only be a dropdown field (field A) - I cannot also link that field to the new table displaying the aggregate data. So my solution was to make a new field (field B) in the initial table and link that - it works, but only if I manually copy the value from field A to field B. So my question is - when someone fills out the form online, h

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?
