[Kelly_OShaughne]

We're thrilled to announce the release of our latest enterprise features and data visualization enhancements! These exciting additions provide new ways to add and operationalize data, allow for more control over data retention, and offer powerful visualization tools within Airtable. Let's explore what these features have in store for you!

Airtable Visualization Enhancements:

• App quick start
  Craft a workflow for your team faster than ever with app quick start. This new building method gets you to a powerful and intuitive solution for end users in minutes, tailored to the specific needs of your use case, automatically leveraging Airtable’s building best practices.

  Quickly build insightful dashboards with a refreshed dashboard layout for interfaces. The new dashboard layout gets you up and running faster and has powerful new features like element drill downs and mobile support. This makes reporting to stakeholders and tracking progress on the go a breeze.

• Conditional Logic on Record Detail & Form Layouts (Business & Enterprise Scale Tiers)
  Create more personalized and advanced workflows in interfaces by showing or hiding fields and groups in forms and record detail pages based on specific conditions. For example, you can display different fields based on the status of a project, improving efficiency and user experience.

• Interface Form Validation (Team, Business, & Enterprise Scale Tiers)
  Ensure data integrity with customizable validation rules for interface forms, including email and URL validation, character limits, value ranges, and attachment restrictions. Validate user input and reduce errors in your data.

And More!

• Manually order records in interfaces
• Move tables in base to dropdown

A Sneak Peek at What's Coming Up Next for Interfaces:

• Interface support for Android

You can find additional information about all of these updates on our What’s New page, including support articles for how to get started!

Enterprise Features:

Now let's dive in to the new features available to all of our Enterprise Scale customers:

• Sync Data from Workday or Snowflake into Airtable
  Importing accurate and up-to-date information from disparate sources is crucial for your workflows. With our new sync sources, Workday and Snowflake, you can seamlessly bring data from these critical sources of truth into Airtable. Sync employee data, financial records, and more to inject context and connectivity into your workflows. 
• For a deep dive into these new sync integrations, we invite our Enterprise customers to check out the exclusive blog post in our Enterprise Network!

• Custom Data Retention Capabilities
  Data security and compliance are top priorities for many enterprises. That's why we're introducing the capability to customize how long Airtable stores your app’s revision history and create policies around handling inactive apps. 

Remember, if you're an Enterprise Scale customer, you already have access to our new integrations and custom data retention. For those who aren’t on our Enterprise Scale plan, contact our sales team to learn more about upgrading your plan and unlocking these capabilities.

We can't wait to hear what you think and see what you build with these updates!

Love it! Great updates, guys!

@Kelly_OShaughne ah sad! Thank you for clarifying. Someone at Airtable will definitely need to change the wording in the What's New table record.

+1 for adding manual sorting for grid views. I need those drag handles!

Likewise +1 conditional logic on record list views.

This is great news/feature, well done! However, it's very disappointing to see that such a basic functionality for a form is only accessible with a Business plan. It would be better to use an external form solution than to upgrade the plan for this reason

It's insane to me that conditionally showing fields is locked behind the business paywall and not available for Teams or Legacy Pro accounts. Other features I understand, but that one is just absurd.

Great Update! Is there a way within these conditional groups to have one field in multiple groups? For example.. Say I have a field that I need in Group A and Group B. The issue is in some situations Group A will show, and other conditions Group B. So because I can only have Field 1 on the form once, I can't put it within both groups.

I'd love to see the conditional visibility feature expanded to allow for different Record Detail pages to open based on conditions within the record. For example, Layout A opens if a 'Contact Type' field is 'Organization,' but Layout B opens if the field is 'Individual.' While the same outcome can be achieved with several conditional groups, it would this added functionality would help keep the backend of my apps much more organized.
