Team, I know in Project/program management “Gantt Chart” is often thought as the best tool to show and manage dependencies, but was curious if there are any other methods that are more useful. Most of our projects are related to Digital and Business transformation. I have seen some examples of network diagram, dependency maps etc. Wanted to see if some one has used it effectively and share best practices? Thanks

Hi Is there a way to filter records by the current user? E.g. I have 100 users, and a tasks table. I’d like to have one kanban view that show’s to each user their own tasks. I know I can filter by particular user, but that means I need to maintain 100 views, one for each user.

Hi. I'm not sure if this it the right place to ask. At the moment, I handle all the Airtable development, base design, formulas, etc.I would like to start looking into delegating this to a third-party, in order to be able to focus on other aspects of the business. My concern is how to do this in a way which safe-guards both my data, and as well the functionality of the existing base.How can one control if any third-party knowingly/unknowingly breaks down part of the base? I assume any such third party would need Creator access, which would give them full access to everything. My concern is not access to data, but making sure that nothing breaks.Apart from Airtable, we also use heavily Make (ex-Integromat) as well as Softr for an internal portal.  While I know that Airtable has snapshots, which one can recover to - one of the issues is that Airtable recovers into a new seperate base. Hence, any scenarios of Make would not be linked to the recovered base, and

So, I'm pretty new to no code apps and have unsuccessfully tested several other products for this feature.  Can Airtable perform this feature?  I've poked around the community but couldn't find anything, feel free to describe it like I'm 5.  Any help is appreciated...I'm trying to build a calculator app off of an existing excel model where a user can populate months worth of records into the app and then the app runs through the calculations to find a forecast of the data and gives some output, values, chart etc.  The ideal method is that a user would copy and paste from XLS, website or TXT files and just paste into an "input form" or grid/table and then the app would calculate.  Here is a basic version of the setup...Date (user input)          Widget Production (user Input)     ------>  Calculations and Output3/1/2010                    &nb

I have a small team plan with 3 accounts users and pay on one credit card. However, there is a base where I need to collaborate externally. If we have a paid plan, can our external partner collaborate/edit our base for free? If not, can they create their own separate account and pay but still be able to collaborate/edit our base?I am trying to avoid the need to put them on my payment plan? Please recommend the best course of action for external partners. 

Hi there,Just wanted to see and confirm, that after duplicating a database, if you delete any records in the duplicate, it doesn't impact the original database, i.e. that you don't delete records in the original.  I feel they are both separate entities, but wanted to make sure.Thanks,-Robert 

Hi all, I need to build a form to collect a person’s name and email address but when they sign up a small application fee is also collected. I am thinking of using Stripe or Braintree for payment processing. The key question here is where will the backend database be hosted? On Stripe/Braintree or on Airtable or on both? Another angle w.r.t the same question: how to go about making a form that accepts a payment? Have you done this before? If so, how did you do it? Thank you so very much, Freedom.

Hi, Is it only me or are Rollup Filters not working. Tried this with date fields and text ones, and still without any success. Please let me know if there is a solution or it's a temporary bug? Thanks!

Hello,Not sure if I overlooked the obvious, but I could not do the following which seems simple :I have a table with contacts (persons) with their mail, function etc. They are linked to 1 Company in the companies tables, companies which have an address and Zip code. I need to display a list of all contacts filtered by the Zip code entered in Filters: how can I retrieve that value from their company ?I already placed all companies in a nice Googlemap addons so salespersons can visualize where clients are, but values were all in the companies table, whereas here I need to show the contacts emails to reach them if someone visits their region. Thank you !

Dear all,when I recall the records of a base table (es. company) in a record of a second table (goods), I need to filter the former directly in the windows of recalling; if I insert the chatacter "*" it is not seen as "any character" but as is and the filter does not find nothing.Is there a character that does the function of "any character"?Thank you to all.Best regards.A.

(This might end up in Features request, depending on what I hear back). Wondering if there is a way to do mailing address validation. I am looking for something like Smarty Streets or apparently there is an add-on to Excel (Windows only) from Pitney Bowes that will at least check to see if the address is possible (i.e., it will tell you that there is a 100 Block of Main Street, but not that 123 Main Street actually exists, as I understand it). I am developing a Base with Form entry, where people can enter addresses. In the past (not on Airtable), I have had to export a special CSV file with addresses, submit it to Smarty Streets, reimport it into the sheet. I would love to have addresses validated as they come in. Thanks!

When you input a not existed value in a linked column. A new record would be created in the linked table. How can I stop it from creating new records automatically?

Hi every one, I'm just trying to create a table that shows 3 tables together. Each table is been filled by data fetcher, each table is a channel sources. Meta, Google, etc, with the results grouped by year, month and week (Is like the data comes from data fetcher)I need to do one table with all the channel together. The thing is, in each table of source I have 3 columns that identify and probably link each raw of each table. Column user, year, month and week.Each table has the same first tree columns, so the resume table should have user, year, month and week, and then, the linked results from the table meta, google, etc.In excel is relatively easy, but here I don't find an easy solution. Thanks for any help.

Hey, for the past week or so I have been trying to upgrade my account from the basic free plan to a paid monthly Team plan. While trying to do so, I have been facing issues while making the transaction for the same. How do I go about this? This is the message I received on trying to make the payment "We were unable to upgrade you at this time. Please refresh the page and try again. If you continue experiencing problems, please contact us" 

I feel like I can't articulate this question well enough to search for an answer -- maybe someone here can understand my brain.I want to copy a column of text strings in Airtable, put it in a search box, and have it bring up all the records that contain any of those text strings. Is something like this possible? Basically, I'm working off a synced base that I have additional columns I need to edit. (I can't change the main base in any way -- it's full of "secondary" records that are essentially 8+ copies of the first set of records that I do not want in my base) So every day I'm searching for 50+ strings, one by one, to update those records. Any ideas?

HolaWe are a charity/NFP who has been working on a basic "help our volunteers be able to do their job" system for a while. Tried everything, it looks like one of our key issues can be solved by AirtableWe are aiming to use Airtable as simple terrotory based CRM platform, because it is very straight forward and visual to use. Very impressed so far. our users are not technical and dont need to be fighting screens and awful processes. They just need simple sheet views.(Amongst other things, this is the first thing)We have a lot of contacts and great with Zapier etc. What we want to do is to continue to update items via Zapier as the customers are engaging with us. However wanted to know if a couple of things are possible. - Decent Visual emails out of the platform, as Mailchimp is great on the graphics but not good with much else. - Block list. So if a customer signs up who we have blocked, can we automatically

Hi All! I’m trying to make a form that is asking individuals to give feedback about consultation sessions they’ve had. One of the questions is which consultant did you meet with. I have a multiple select field with their names right now and then a link to a webpage with the consultants’ profiles but I really want the options to include a name and a picture of the consultant right in the form. I don’t know that this is possible currently but does anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Tallie

Hi everyone, I use Zapier to run a large amount of automations in my Airtable bases. It looks like nothing is working anymore and the reason I’m thinking is because it is listing Airtable as ‘Deprecated’. The only way I can reconnect the zaps is to literally redo them from scratch with a new connection to Airtable. Does anyone have any idea what’s going on here? Also, does anyone have any guidance on how to batch the updated airtable into my existing zaps? I don’t want to have to redo every single zap as I have dozens and redoing them seems to be fastest way to get something wrong. Help would be appreciated!
