:wave: Hello! I’m Ayesha, a Product Manager here at Airtable. We’re so excited to share a new feature with you that allows you to change the term “record” in the product to a term that’s more specific to your table.
What is this?
When you name a table, you can now optionally select a name for your records from a list of 50+ options. You’ll see that name used in the product where you see your table or view, so you can more easily understand what actions you’re taking.
For example, instead of seeing the generic “Add record” action:
You can now override this “record” terminology by specifying the work that you want to track. If you choose to call your record a “task”, you and your team can now see “Add task”:
How can I set this for a table?
You can select this from the dropdown next to a table name, under “Rename table”:
What options can you choose from?
You can choose from a list of 50+ options, based on common workflows (Project, Task, Event, Request, Campaign, etc.). We do not support the ability to add in your own term.
If you don’t see an option you’re looking for, let us know by filling out this form to request a new term.
