Looking to build some QC tracking logs which would have paper inspection reports from the field as PDF attachments. Ideally I would like for the field inspectors to upload their daily inspection reports via a form which would then notify our QC manager that has he reports to review. He needs to be able to open up the PDF and markup/check off/make notes/annotate various pages before approving or rejecting the report. I do not think this is natively supported (yet, boo, seems pretty useful) but is there a reasonable workflow to make this happen? Overall I am dealing with some fairly non tech savvy folks (construction), but would like to both get better visibility on the process as well as make the process as easy as possible for them. Any thoughts?

I'm looking for a way to communicate shift assignments to hundreds of individuals who are not members of my base. I use Airtable to manage poll workers. For their work assignments, I integrate Airtable with Make.com. When a staff member offers an assignment to someone, Make.com compiles data from multiple tables into an email.Each assignment has a set schedule. Schedule details have been included in the email in a bulleted list. The source for that list is a long text field with RTF enabled. The schedule descriptions are often complicated and a list is not the best way to display the info. I'd like to incorporate a separate Shifts table that can be linked to the assignments. This would allow much more specificity in describing the work schedule. Ideally, this is what I would like to get out of this, and I'm not sure the best way to go about it:In the initial offer email, clearly list all of the shifts that the person would be required to workI've been imagining a table i

I imported (not thinking) over 1,000 .csv records into one of my Free dBases.What will happen to the excess records?

Hello!I realize that Airtable most likely wants to push forms to be built via Interfaces, but of course, many forms have already been built by users in the standard table views. When going to a form view within the table (not Interface), we get a popup window that states the form has been upgraded and then two buttons: "Edit Form View," which lets us edit in the old form view option within the table, or "Go to form builder," which takes us to the interface version. The user responsible for this base is not interested in using the Interface version at this time and so they click "Edit form view." However, what is annoying is that every time the form view from the table is brought up, the popup has to be cleared yet again.We understand that there are two ways to approach this form now. The interface version hasn't been touched and is not shared, while the older version is linked to and shared.Is there something we're missing that will allow us to click the button once and be do

Hi everyone,I have a table where I import record from a Salesforce reporte.g. https://support.airtable.com/docs/airtable-sync-integration-salesforceEverything works fine, but I would like to have a button that redirects me to the salesforce record when clicked.The JIRA integration has something similar.Has anyone found how to do this?

Hey there people,I have been browsing the community forums and YouTube videos to fix my problem, but I can't figure it out. I always get errors I don't manage to fix, I'm hoping someone can explain me what I'm doing wrong.Context & Goals :I ingest data from a real estate website that provides me properties from 2 sources, Source A and Source B.I put this data in Table 1.I have everything I need for Source A, however I have very limited data for Source B.I therefore set up a distinct data (Table 2) ingestion for Source B, that contains the most important data I need (Description).My goal is to push into Table 1 the descriptions from Source B I have in my Table 2.The best I found to match entriesIn my Table 1, I have records is the URLhttp://www.sourceA.com/recordIDhttp://www.sourceB.com/recordIDtooIn my Table 2, I also have URLs, but it's not precisely the same formathttp://www.sourceB.com/recordIDtoo/?alotofthingsI therefore created a formula column, truncating http://www.sour

Bar graphs are super useful at looking on your data. Often, a 100% bar graph is really needed to compare categories.In this example, I'm comparing the effectiveness of different messages. Currently, as each message type was sent a different number of times, a precise comparison is not fully visible. If the graph was a 100% graph, the comparison would be obvious and easy. This is why Google Looker studio and other products are offering 100% bar graph and not just the regular bar graph.Attached is the bar graph from my example, and a (random) 100% bar graph.

HI there–this question has come up before but there has been no useful reply from Airtable. Seems like several people would find very useful the ability to remove the “view larger” link from web site embeds. This option takes users away from one’s web site and also I have a private group so I don’t want people outside the group sharing the table with anyone. Can the “view larger” link be disabled? I am a pro member and I’m surprised this is not part of the customization option. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm an AirTable newbie but I have some experience in web development. I'm trying to use REST API to implement table which has a server-side pagination. This means I can't preload all the results to get the pagination parameters like total count. Usually, the API endpoint which returns the records would have this parameter. Unfortunately it doesn't exist so I'm wondering how to do this properly without fetching all the results on FE beforehand. Thanks for the help !

I used the information from my base to create an interface. Now, I’d like to share that interface to the public. Is there a way I can do that?

Hello, im a long time Airtable User.I can't accept the fact that in order to change the start day of the calendar week it is necessary to change the browser language! I need an easier and more practical alternative, like a button to click: week starts on Monday...I've read several threads with other people complaining about the same problem and it still hasn't been resolved. I imagine it's something simple to resolve, I'm waiting for the solution.

I Just tried Airtable Share View Sync option. Comments in the sourced are not synced to the new table. Is there some workaround or option to achieve this? As I need comments also to be synced into new table.

Hello, I am new to airtable. I need help with records. I have created 1250 records in my table even though i am on freeplan. I am not sure if i should add more rows records or not? 

I've been using AT for a few years now and have begun to really use the automation and other tools that make it easy to share info with others outside of my organization.One thing that continues to happen is I send a note via the Send Record option from a grid which includes all the pertinent info the recipient needs. But at the bottom of each email it also has a link "view in airtable." Clients are now trying to click it and gain access to our base, which is not needed for them to see the info (its all in the email).... Is there a way to remove the "view in airtable" link that automatically appears?(PS - I'm doing this as an ad-hoc manual task, not an automation) 

Hoping this is an easy enough set-up! I’m trying to create volunteer sign-ups for specific events, where there will be a fixed list of approved volunteers that can sign-up (so they would select their name from a linked field). Aside from manually closing out the form after a certain number of sign-ups, is there a way to indicate that we have 10 slots available and turn it off after that time?

My first post! This community has been very helpful. I’m still fairly new to airtable and hope someone can help with this problem. I have a Google Sheet with a date field, a start time field, and a stop time field. I want to import it into a table with 2 fields: {date and start time} and {stop time}. I tried to join fields in google sheets, then upload, but it only uploads the date correctly, and the time is ‘12:00am’. I’ve tried different date/time formats, but that hasn’t worked, and made the problem worse in some cases. For example it only works with the 12 hr format, when I tried 24 hour, neither the date nor time uploaded. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all! I have a two part problem for you. Our team is trying to figure out a way of syncing multiple tables, across different bases, into a singular table that will collect project information ( specifically start and end dates, capacity hours, etc) about each project we have running across the different project bases. This newly created table should be dynamic in updating its information as it is actively changed within those exterior bases and tables. With this newly developed table, we wanted to then create a timeline view that measures team capacity (in workable hrs per week vs. how many hours each task takes to complete) across all of the collective projects. Ideally, this information is synced from the newly created table that is acting as a hub and contains all of this information from other bases. Is this at all possible within Airtable, or have any workarounds been found to tackle a similar problem? Thank you!

Hi! looking for help using Integromat - i’ve been trying to use Gmail Watch function and extract the attachment to Airtable but couldn’t get it working. What should I choose ? just click “choose” and select the attachment doesn’t seem to work. If I click Map and then add item, what should I select in the file URL? I selecting the attachment but it doesn’t work either. Thank you for any advice!

I have a base for supervisors to approve staff requests. I'd like it so supervisors cannot see each others requests or notes. So I have built an interface that is set so they can only see 'Viewers records only,' which is looking at the field: Supervisor, which is a user field. So now I need to add my supervisors to the user field but I cannot see how to do that without adding them to the base itself, which I don't want them to have access to. It will let me add them one by one via their email and it says it won't add them to the base, but I need them in the actual dropdown (for automation purposes). Is there a way to do this? I'm finding it hard to believe that I can shut down access to the base for privacy (by not adding them as collaborators), OR shut down access to the interface for privacy (by using the 'viewers records only' feature), but not both?!

Hi! I am working with a team member to embed a Vega-lite visualization into Softr using data from Airtable, and we have successfully been able to figure out how to embed the visualization in Softr, but we want the visualization to display different data for each project. When users sign into Softr, they create a project so all of their data is attached to it in Airtable, but we can’t figure out how to modify the embed code so that it pulls data related to a specific project. Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about this issue?

There were other posts related to the question. Like: WORKDAYAnd workaround is simple and well-known (WORKDAY(DATEADD(Date,-1,'days'),1))But isn't id a bug, that WORKDAY(StartDate,0) does not work?

I need to ensure no dates in my base land on a weekend or holiday. I’m trying to use the WORKDAY(startDate, numDays, [holidays]) formula to accomplish this. However… issues. I’m using “0” as numDays since I do not want to add any days if the date already lands on a working day. This does not move the date however if it lands on a weekend or holiday. If I change numDays to “1”, then the date automatically moves forward a day, regardless if the original date already lands on a weekday. How can I resolve this? Is there a “if weekday” formula that I can add in? See More
