Hello, brand new user, here! :slightly_smiling_face: I see the ability to edit permissions of a field so that only specific users can edit a field; however, is there a way to set the permissions so that only specific users can see the field to begin with? We want to include some sensitive information in our database that can only be seen/accessed by certain employees. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

I would like to flag a new record if it arrives and the email address of the new record matches an email address of a record already in the base. I have gotten as far as lowercasing the email addresses to ensure the capitalization doesn’t throw it off, but I just want to have a visual flag immediately showing as an output in a field. We have the pro version, and the dedupe block, but we want to just be able to see quickly if a record exists before wasting time deduping it or outright ignoring the new record.

Hello Folks, I am totally new to Airtable, I work as a content planning manager, so I want to build a base that’s is collaborative and at the same time keeps sensitive info to their owners, For instance: I have 5 content owners, each is ingesting his data to his view and involuntary to the main base, however, they have some sensitive columns, they don’t want these to be visible to anyone.even if they changed their view to personal, other collaborators can’t see it but still can unhide the columns to the main base or to their own views. What’s the best practice to create such a thing, where everybody is ingesting all information to the same place and hide whatever they want to their own only? Could you please help me with that, thanks in advance to you all.

First time I’ve used airtable. It;s the free version. I have 2 tables Customers Assets There is a common unique ID in both tables - so I assume I can use this to link them. However when I try and change the ID by customize field type to link to another record the other table isn’t an option. Thanks for any assistance Phil

I am going to be using Airtable for project management. I have currently populated my records by importing a CSV file (containing all current projects with their fields), but I am trying to plan ahead for when new records are added. Is there a way to IMPORT a single record into an existing table? Or can I only input things into a table manually once it’s been created?

I’m trying to upload a set of data using the CSV import block - wondering if when you get the warning of ‘2 cell values couldn’t be mapped’ there’s any way to see which cells that is referring to. Does anyone know?

Hello, I use this formula to compute the projected funding date for a borrower. the Funding date is usually 3 days after the borrower signs the final documents. This formula does it just fine, but I need to exclude Saturdays and Sundays from the formula. for example, if a borrower signs on Monday the 15th, then he should be funded on Thursday the 18th. However if the borrower signs on Saturday the 20th then he should be funded on Wednesday the 24th. Please note, signings can be done on saturdays, but funding can not. existing formula. DATEADD({Signing Dt/Tm},3,‘day’) thankyou in advance

I have data in a pipeline and I am using lookup to pull it into my base. They are connected by the Company name field which is linked. The problem is that we have multiple customers with the same name. (They are churches). Each record is unique but when the lookup runs it pulls in multiples. The example below shows Trinity UMC. This is one specific record but the lookup pulled data from every Trinity UMC we have. How can I get it to look at each instance of Trinity UMC as a unique record? Do I need to connect the two with a different field such as ID#? That would be unique on all 22000 records.

Hello, Is there any body facing the same issue as me? Since June all my tables automatically shows “all views” column as long as I open one and it’s annoying. Might have set up something by accident but didn’t know how to fix it.

Record history is good - but I need it to display the actual dates that events have occurred for each recond. My history column for an expanded record shows things like ‘3 mo’ to indicate that a record update or change was made about 3 months ago. I need the actual date. How can I see that?

I am new to Airtable and am sure I am missing something very basic here. I have a base with a table of clients. I am trying to work with and better understand how to sort my table, but am clearly missing something. I have reviewed the posts I’ve found related to this topic and have not yet resolved my issue. Following the API docs, I have modified my codes as follows. let table = base.getTable(‘Client Appointments’); let result = await table.selectRecordsAsync({ sorts: [ {field: “Client Name”, direction: “desc”}, ] }) All I am trying to do is simply sort my client table by the name column in des order, but the table never changes. If I update my code to include output.table(result.records), then the output displayed following script execution in shows the outputted table with the sort order as defined in my code. However, the actual table remains unchanged. What am I missing that is resulting in the table not sorting as expected? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Bo

Hi, hopefully I can explain what I am looking for. I have several tables - “In the News”; “Events” and “Projects”. Each of those tables has detailed information (date, description, etc.) on each individual event / project / news item. I also have a field in each of those tables that links to a “Topics” table, so I can tag specific topics (e.g. coworking, consulting, affordable housing, etc.) that each news article, event or project could relate to. The problem that I am having is that I want to be able to see the detailed view of Events, sorted by topic. If I sort in the Events table by grouping topics, then events with multiple topics get put in their own separate category (ie if an Event is tagged “coworking” and “consulting” it will show up as its own category, rather than showing twice, once in the “coworking” category and once in the “consulting” category which is what I want). If I go to the topics table and group by topic, I have to click into each linked record to read about ev

I have only 2 numbers 15% 161.80 I have to get after the deal is done $161.80 and the the other guy have to get 15% of the deal. So the total deal will be $190.35 - (161.8 is a 15% decrease of 190.35.) How can I get to this number ($190.35) in Airtable, when I have only the 2 other numbers (1. 15% 2. 161.80) In Excel I will make this as follows =161.8 / (1-15%) but I can not make this work in Airtable Thanks in Advance

I have a base of events where I am tracking event updates. I am trying to write a conditional formula that will display up to 3 different possible date fields based on 11 outcomes using data from fields already existing in each record. I have tried nested IF formulas using IF( AND( as well as IF( OR( and have not been able to correctly solve the problem. I am either getting a formula that produces a date that is not 100% reflective of all criteria or an error message. I looked into SWITCH formulas but got lost… Fields within this base include: Field Type | Field Content Date Field | Original Event Date Single Select Field | Update to the event (cancel, postpone, reschedule) Date Field | Announcement of Update Date Field | Rescheduled event date Single Select Field | 2nd Update to the event (cancel, postpone, reschedule) Date Field | Announcement of 2nd Update Date Field | 2nd Rescheduled Date I want to display the appropriate date for each record based on the following criteria: Return

Hello–I have a simple question that I am struggling to solve. I am trying to calculate the difference between two dates but I need it to count full days. For example in the first record Start date of 1/2 and end date of 1/3 needs to equal 2 and not 1. The same with the 3 record–I need a formula that will calculate this to be 5 and not 4. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am the Office Manager of an apartment building with 100+ suites. I have been moving the company into the 21st Century with Airtable and eliminating some paper that is being used. However, I have multiple bases and some items are becoming redundant. I am wondering if it is possible to have one base that not only shows tenant information (phone number, name, suite number, parking, storage locker etc.) but also the condition of each unit and the renos that are being completed. In other words, I want to see a “portrait” view (big picture of everything) of the suites as well as a snap shot (brief glance of what suites have new flooring, which need complete renos when vacant, when was paint done, new installations of sinks / taps / tubs / toilets). My one base contains the tables for tenants and the snap shot, and I have another base (Facilities Management) for the big picture with maintenance and facilities tables. The facilities manager is great, especially for recording move

It appears that the DATETIME_DIFF() function rounds down to a whole integer when specifying hours regardless of it decimal is specified to two places.

Hi - I’m (somewhat) new to Airtable, I’m trying to figure out how the heck to get a Gantt chart view INTO the calendar view. It seems that this would be incredibly simple, and yet nothing allows me to move or enable that view in the calendar. The system just keeps asking me if I’d like to enable Gantt chart visualization - which I DID download, but it’s just sitting there in the dashboard on the side. Any advice as to how to make this work? Thank you.

I’m noticing that when using Lookup fields to gather all the text from various related text fields, the output in the lookup field separates each of the resulting contents with a comma automatically. Here’s the situation: 1 - Contacts table contains a link to Interactions table. 2 - Each Interaction contains text meeting notes, which are concatenated in a separate field with the date of the meeting and a line break at the end. 3 - The Contacts table in turn has a lookup field which brings back all of those concatenated results, so that I can pull up a contact in gallery view and see something like this in their notes field: 2-22-2015: Met for first time at her office, talked about our basic services. , 4-18-2017: Met with her whole team to set up launch. So that comma in front of the 4 isn’t a type-o in this message; rather it’s the output I’m getting. Can I get that to go away?

Hello - I am just getting set up with AirTable to manage my supply chain. One of our partners requires advanced notice of any in-bound shipments, to include multiple attachments. I’ve created a Shipment Log table to accomplish this, where I can just click “send record”, enter their email, and they receive all of the pertinent info. HOWEVER, the AirTable-generated email they receive has a “View in AirTable” link at the bottom. When anyone clicks this, it shows my entire base, which does include sensitive information such as pricing, other partners, internal comms, etc. How can I send individual records to external partners without giving the option to view anymore than the specific record sent?

Hi everyone! I am writing on behalf of my organization. We have qualified for the charity discount, but I am struggling with the best way to set up our team. I am aware that if we upgrade this would be for 1 workspace, correct? And then this workspace’s bases would be part of the paid plan. So im thinking that I would invite all my colleagues as collaborators (users) so that workspace. So my first question is: if I invite my colleagues to the workspace, do they see all the bases that I have created? Or only the bases that are shared with me? And vice versa? I am also wondering, if I am a ‘user’ on a paid account, can I then create another workspace that will have access to the paid base features? Or would that workspace not have the paid features because its a free workspace? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am trying to build a SPA and having an issue with pagination. From client side, it is calling back-end function to fetch image url of records and pageSize is 16. What I am hoping to achieve is to fetch every 16 records whenever user clicks ‘show more photos’ and it will fetch another batch of 16 and so on… but my question is how can I call fetchNextPage() after it fetches the first batch of records and function’s finished. I have little knowledge of callback function and how it works but if you could help me with this, I’d appreciate it. Here is part of my cloud function exports = module.exports = functions.https.onRequest(async (req, res) => { const nextPage= (records, fetchNextPage)=>{ fetchNextPage() } const processRecords = (err) => { console.log('done :>> '); if (err) { console.error(err) return } } _base(tableName).select({ filterByFormula, fields, pageSize: 16 }).eachPage(processRecords, nextPage) });
