Update Page Designer Fields based on cell values

Hi Nicholas,

I’ve run into the same issue myself.

Unfortunately, Page Designer doesn’t support conditional visibility, so there’s no way to automatically hide a field based on its value.

There are a few other extension blocks that can generate PDF documents with more flexibility, but most of them come with a monthly cost.

Hmm, are these line items from a linked field?  Does the filtering by view function help?

• Original:

  

   

• Filtered:

  

If not, could you provide some screenshots of your tables and the page designer set up?

Hey ​@NicholasMaars,

If you have Invoices Table, and Invoice Line Items table, the solution suggested by Adam should work.

Just as a different workaround (which will fully depend on your table structure), you can apply conditions to a given lookup on your base (e.g. Value > 0). Now, as long as the field you are looking up is in itself a linked field, you should now be able to display the filtered records on Page Designer.

Feel free to schedule a call if you need further help! I’d be happy to help.

Also, only kind of related you might want to take a look at this fun post I wrote on parsing invoices using Airtable’s AI feature.

Using Page Designer, you could use a formula to create a list of invoice items by concatenating the different items, and excluding the items that have a value of 0.

I’ve had several experiences of creating invoices and sending them automatically to customers and since Page Designer is manually tirggered, we opt for one of the following:

• Use an external service to create a PDF using Zapier or Make.com (I have applied apitemplate.io and found it easy to use.)
• Build an App in Softr.io and let customers log-in and see their invoices as a web-page.

If you'd like to review how these options would look like and should be implemented, you can schedule a free meet here. Happy to help!
