Hello, I am brand newt Airtable. So far it has been very good and a pleasant experience. I am a long time user and developer in MS Access. So there is some adjustment. In Access, when you link two tables, you can tell Access that you want to link via one field, but display another. So, I have a table with a linked field to another table. Airtable is showing me the primary key. Is there a way to show a more informative field? I am so used to using primary auto numbers that I cannot break the habit. So now all I see is a record number. I would like to see say the customer last name that is part of that record. Thanks in advance for the help. Best, Scott

Hi everyone,I did see this post but since my table is a synced to google drive I can't change the primary field.Does anyone have another solution to display field data in the linked record field?@ScottWorld ?

Hello, On my Database  I have a table called "inventory".On my work spase i have two users, me as an admin and the second as an Editor user only.In the Inventory table i want that the second user will be able to create his own records and edit them, but cannot edit my records- right now he cannot delete the whole record but he can delete the values in his fields.Is this possible?

Fingers crossed that there's a solution to this! I have data coming in from interface forms that is structured with headers like this:Name 1 / Email 1 / Address 1  / Name 2 / Email 2 / Address 2.... and so on, all the way up to 100! Yes, 100!We use this data to fill in PDF forms so it must come in as 1 row (at least with the app that I am using, I am using PDF Maker by Bustbrain labs).My question is, is there a way to split this data into multiple records like this:Name / Email / Address (header)Name 1 / Email 1 / Address 1Name 2 / Email 2 / Address 2Also, I need the data to sync, so that if there's an update on the 1st table where the data is in a single row, it will also update the data in the split records.I am open to a script, automation, syncing and duplicating tables, whatever I need to do to accomplish this. All the data I need is there, I just need it in a usable format!

Hello,I have two tables that I am trying to link together.One table is an instructor table called Instructors AY25 and the first column contains the instructor name and the other columns contain instructor information, including the catalog number for the course they are teaching.Another table is a course table called Courses AY25. The first column is a catalog number and the other columns contain course information.In the Instructor table, I have tried changing the catalog number to a linked field and linking it to the Course Table. This works and allows me to look up fields from the Course Table, but the new column that is created on the Course Table that should link back to the Instructor table is empty.Here's the instructor table catalog number:I have linked this to the course table:

Hi I was wondering if anyone would kindly help. I am creating a form from a grid view I have created. One of my fields in the grid view allows me to link with a master data base and pull all required info through using added lookups.

I need to understand one thing regarding billing per user per workspace. If I am the owner and at the same time creator/editor/everything of 3 different workspaces, am I charged as “one user” or “three users”? There are three of use in the team who will need access to many different workspaces. Will we get charged per email address (even if that user uses 4 workspaces) or per number of workspaces that user uses? I hope this is clear! :slightly_smiling_face: Thank you in advance for your help!

I have been using this booking form template (here is the community post where I found it) to try and create a student registration form, but I'm running into some snags. I'm hoping someone may be able to help me. The basic requirement is below (once I have that established, I'll play around and try and make it a bit better). What I need is a form where:Student enters in their student ID.Student chooses a research topic from the list.When they submit, this reserves that topic for that student, assigning their student ID against the topic. I have five topics (for simplicity sake: blue, green, red, pink, brown), and each topic has 25 space

Hi,I am new to Airtable coming from Xano and using Thunkable as my mobile front end.In Xano I can create and API endpoint which will allow me to search for a specific value in a column in a table.  I see that I use the AirTable API to get a record but that is by record id.If I wanted to search by a field, email address for example, how would I accomplish this?ThanksSteve

I have synced my calendar (using sync to an external calendar option under share view) to my google calendar on my laptop. I see the events from that calendar there. On my phone, I have set up to see google calendars. When I look at a date that I know there is an event for, I do not see it. Any ideas as to why I would see it on the desktop calendar, but not on my phone?

Below is what I want to do, more specifically, what training can I consume to achieve the goals outlined below. In a perfect world, I would also be able to put this data into a form or template that allows for repeatable recreation without making it from scratch every time. I'm trying to figure out how to build a data set that manages several different parameters of a home automation system. I need to store devices by types and rooms/areas. I then want to be able to have a time reference for different time periods of the day, sunrise, 30 mintues before/after sunrise, sunset, 30 minutes before, wake event 1, wake event 2, get ready 1, get ready 2, breakfast, morning, lunch, afternoon, dinner, evening, wind down, bedtime 1, bedtime 2, night. The intent is to create a tool that can be used as a reference for creating a scope as well as documenting what should be happening throughout the day incase of a failure and need to re-program. For example wake 1

So I created an airtable app and now I want to hand it over to my client so he can do the subscription himself.Am I right in thinking the only way to do this is:create a new workspaceMake him the owner of the workspacemove the base and interface into this new workspace.It does seem overly convoluted. He is added to the current workspace but i can't see a way to upgrade his access to owner.Am I missing something?Thanks

Hi there. I am not a habitual Airtable user, nor am I much of a tech person, so I apologize if this question has been answered and I wasn't able to find it.I am developing a database for my perfume collection using Airtable, and for most parts of this project it's great. I would really like to be able to track the dates that I wore each scent (currently I do this in a hand-written notebook, and I have years of data that I'd love to input). I can't figure out if this is possible or how I might do it. I have seen both "no" and "yes?" posts but nothing definitive or for what sounds like the kind of tracking I am doing.Thank you very much in advance!

I am trying to link a note to a record but I've gotten error codes that always change even when I perform the same action. I've tried using different browsers, clearing cache and cookies, clearing history. Nothing works. I've submitted a ticket to AirTable but I have yet to hear from them. Nobody else internally is experiencing this.
