Very new to this. Is there a way to create a fill-able form for my employees to fill out and submit. When they submit it, I’d like it to show up as an attachment next to their name in their row. I don’t want to create a new row for each form submission because it’ll add up quick with everyone doing weekly forms. My employees have to fill out a form every week and submit that so I need a way to keep track of who submitted/when and keep them all together. Thank you!

Hi all, we’re a custom sportswear company using Airtable to track orders. At the moment we have a single line item for each garment ordered, and the numbers of each size. The view is grouped by contract number so we have all garments for each client grouped together. So for example we might have: Line Contract Garment XS S M L XL 1 1875 Bobs Bikes Cycling Jersey 1 2 3 2 1 2 1875 Bobs Bikes Cycling Shorts 1 1 1 3 1 3 1875 Bobs Bikes Cycling Jacket 0 2 2 1 0 My question is whether I can collect this information in an airtable form to auto populate our airtable? I have tried creating a form for this but under Garment it will only allow me to choose one garment, OR I can setup the garment field to allow the form filler to choose multiple garments . But in the form

How can I turn off spell checking? I use this entirely for foreign-language content (all non-English words) and Airtable is underlining every single word!

Hi,We are an academic library. We don’t have a facebook account or any connection to facebook that I know of. However, I noticed when an interface was loading, that my browser said “waiting for facebook.”When I looked at the html of the page, I found this:<img height="1" width="1" style="display:none" alt="" src="https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=418406606004092&ev=PageView&noscript=1"/>We’ve found similar non-displayed links to facebook on other pages.Is this expected? If so, what does it do? And is there a way for us to turn it off?Thanks,Joe Montibello

I’m having a hard time finding the correct links for the columns-  airtable API key (which tells me I’m supposed to create a token for it which I did but not too sure on how to copy it and paste it on there) Airtable database app (not to sure where to find this located either.) My goal is to make it close to the template that it provides with the leaderboard. I‘ve created my own already with the AI source.  Would like help!! 

I’ve seen something like this asked, but not really seeing responses?  But it got me thinking….  Is it really possible to have two different forms feed into a single base?  My thought process is this.  Creating an onboarding base so we can make sure we get everything completed for every hire.  But questions we ask on applications can vary based on the job(s) they are applying for, so having several forms with the specific questions would be great instead of having questions that only certain people would fill out or verbiage that is correct for some, but not for others.Is it REALLY possible to do this?  Yesterday I was trying to determine if there was a way to set up a form with sections so that each section of questions was for specific jobs, but the form will be LONG.  Having different forms based on the job they are applying for would be much better, if it will truly work.

Hi, I created my first form today and liking the tools, however i find the linear scrolling required to access a multi-field form a bit long winded… Can i modify the layout and locate fields where i need to, to make the form more compact and intuitively laid out, and potentially all fields on a single screen/page? I looked at a thread from 2020, and it mentioned JotForm using Zapier ? Has there been any changes since then to Form layouts for Airtbale? Thanks You, Simon.

I’m trying to create a form that will allow club members to order multiple products. Each product has different color and size options, and I can’t figure out how to build the table to then create the form with all the different options. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dave

Hi, as a new Airtable user i could really do with some help. I help organise a small cat rescue so have built my 1st ever database (whoop lol) so we can organise who needs adopting, what sex, colour etc… a couple of us cant access the information via the browser on our phones. it comes up with a ‘header’ screen so to speak but you cant access any of the info. I am fine as I have an android so I just downloaded the app. But one person is making excuses that they can’t and so far cannot see anything. Does anyone have any advice or hints / tips as to get it working on phone browser? thank ya’ll ever so much x

It looks like I no longer have access to the what's new page. https://www.airtable.com/whatsnewIs anyone else seeing this?  Does anyone know if it's a policy change or a problem with the page? 

Hi all, I’m at a stage where it’s no longer legit to make changes directly on the prod env.What are your best practices for managing changes in the base’s structure and design? (changing field type, editing formulas, editing scripts, adding tables etc.) For example, is there a way to connect to git and keep track of changes to table schemas (not data sync)?How do you make changes in a DEV base, and then push them to production? Do you use dedicated branches in git for these changes? 

I am working in grid view and need to move several records to different places in the same table. For example, record 101 needs moved to 43, etc. Can someone show me how to do that?

I created a form in Airtable and it gave me this html code: I embedded the code in my web site page here and it does work: https://captaintime.com/joint-venture-webinars/ However, it gives it a black background instead of the usual green on my site. I tried changing the background transparent to the hex color number and this didn’t work. Nor did changing backgroundColor=yellow to green. Not that yellow was showing anywhere anyway. Thanks,

I have a list of addresses and I already represented them through Map block using google Map API on the map. The queseion is how to get the coresponding geocode (latitude and longitude) for each address. eventhough I noteced that Map Block created text code for each address called Geocode cache is that may help or converted to coordinates. “Geocode cache This block stores additional information for each address. Create a new text field in your table and pick it below. Other map blocks can use the same field.” Thank you so much for your help in advance.

I have two emails showing up and the wrong one is one character off.  I don’t know how to reach help to fix this so I can get access to all my bases 

This is something that has been bothering me on both desktop and mobile…  When I have the app downloaded to a device, and I click on an email that is from a comment, there should be a function where the action takes me directly to the comment in the app. Not to a login page in my browser, not a new tab in the browser.  This would be a lot better than the current behavior because: 1) I downloaded the app. I’m here, I’m using the app, I’m the power user and I should be taken care of; 2) When opening a series of comments in my email, I now have to wait for each of the tabs to open. My base isn’t small, so it takes a while each time, and it’s a little frustrating. 

Hello, I’m trying to wrap the text in linked fields but I can’t figure out how to do so. In the example below, the Name and the Doc Gap Descriptions fields are linked. In the original field, where the field type is Long Text, the text wraps and is fully visible. In the linked field, the text is cut off rather than wrapped. How do I display wrapped text here? I tried seeing if wrapping would happen in a printout using the print option of “Wrap long text onto additional lines as needed,” but that doesn’t wrap the linked text either. Thanks, Erik

Is there a way to customize a form so it’s more than just one long vertical column of fields. Would like to have fields be able to display horizontally too.That way you can see some or all the fields at once. Any ideas for layout change?

Hi, I’m trying to share a table using an iframe, I do not have problems when I see it from desktop, but from mobile it does not look good. When I enter the iframe URL in mobile it works fine, but when I enter my URL that has an iframe inside, it looks different. Does anyone know what could be happening? The code that I am using is the following: <iframe class = "airtable-embed" src = "https://airtable.com/embed/xxxxxxxx?backgroundColor=blue&viewControls=on" frameborder = "0" onmousewheel = "" width = "100%" style = "height: 90vh "> </ iframe> Thank you in advance!

Hello Everyone, I want to display the whole content of the “Long text” field (about 100 lines) in the Gallery/kanban view. Now it shows just the top 4-5 lines and then the next field content. To read the whole content, one has to click on it to expand. Is there a way by which the whole content can be displayed in the Gallery/Kanban view without clicking over it? Thanks a lot!

Hello, I’ve created a database that essentially allows me to create a call sheet (sample here) using the page design app. I currently have two tables: Call sheet table - lists the date as the main column. For each date, I have information such as the location, linked crew member, status etc. Crew table - this table lists each person’s name in the main column. There’s a linked record to the dates they’re working in the call sheet table, their email, cell, and role. I’d also like to add a column for the call time, but that will vary based on the date. On Tuesday their call time might be 9:00am but on Wednesday it’s 8:30am. Since each crew member in linked to several call sheet dates, one person may be linked to 2-4 different days of work on set. The time that people need to report to s
