How does the interface list search work?

I have an interface with a list layout. I was under the impression that when you searched the list it would search every visible column? However when I search for fx “1073” it says there is nothing despite it being in my list? Is this a bug, or is it me who is getting it the wrong way? Search says there is no records Records are there

Request: Add ability to update date field to "today" or other relative date with button

I’m trying to make a button in my interface that will update a date field to today, but it looks like buttons can only update fields to be a specific, pre-determined date. I wish the function was there to add relative dates like today, yesterday, a week from now, etc.

"User actions" search function on interface doesn't offer all fields

I’m working with a list layout interface. I’ve toggled the option on for users to filter, but the dropdown is not offering me all fields, only a (unknown what) selection. (Sorry for huge images, I still can’t figure out how to resize.) The field I’m looking for is called © Email. It’s a single line text field and it is the primary field in table. Instead I can only some other fields with email in the name. Is this an Airtable limitation or am I don’t something wrong? I can’t find documentation on it. Thanks.

Copy Record Detail Layout

Hey everyone Maybe I dreamed this, but I thought I could copy\transfer the layout of one existing Record Detail to another Record Detail. I know I can duplicate an existing Record Detail layout to a new Record Detail layout. That creates a new layout which I want to avoid since I would have to reference the new layout to replace a depreciated layout. And I have a lot of those that I need to clean up. Updating an existing Record Layout by using a different record layout is pretty useful. Is that possible? Was it ever possible? Thanks everyone!

Duplicated user filters in interface

Hi, I am creating an interface and I Airtable just dropped me into a view of the interface designer where I could easily duplicate and rearrange user filters. However, now I can’t find that particular view anymore. Where can I easily duplicate user filters. Reason why I want this is because I want to add a tab for every month. And otherwise I have to manually add each tab with 2 filters in it.

Dashboard Designer - Milestones

Hey Everyone! I’m working on custom building a dashboard for our institution that will track student milestones not only while they are in school but beyond. The way I’ve build or database, we have 4 tabs. Activity, People, Ventures and Events. Activity being the catch-all for any thing that has happened in the other 3 tabs. Anyways, what my goal is is to build a record review that looks like the salesforce education cloud that can display milestones that the student has accomplished like the photo below. Does anyone have any experience with this? I really like the way the Life events looks specifically and obviously I’m flexible, but it would be a cool feature for us.

Dynamic Button Link to Open Linked Record in Interface

Hello! TIA for any help! I'm creating a base for Donor Management and have run into a challenge. I'm building an interface for Fundraising Campaign tracking. The main Interface is a Record View layout. Potential donors are loaded into a table and then viewed via this Interface. When you click on a potential donor, it loads their contact information and the tracking data below it, as you can see in this screenshot. *I've removed the sensitive data! Because the potential donors are linked into the campaigns, all their contact information is not editable in this Interface. I'm generally okay with that, but I'd like to include a button that would let users open a donor's page for editing, possibly using the Contacts Interface you can see in the menu bar at the top. Is there a way to create a link that would somehow take the ID of a linked record from the current Interface and pass it to the Contacts Interface on loading? Thanks again for any help!

In the Interface interface, is it possible to grant editing permission, but not be able to add tags to a single/multiple selection field?

The client has access permission, so that he can enter and edit data, but he constantly accidentally adds values ​​to the field settings, every time he types a value that does not exist in the list that is set for selection, it automatically adds a new value.Something I do not want to happen

Airtable Interface Issue: Unable to Add New Charts and Tables

I'm encountering an issue today with the Airtable interface. When I try to add a chart, table, etc., by clicking on the plus sign, nothing happens. Do you have any ideas about the source of the problem? I don't think I've exceeded the limit of 50 pages per interface, as I have deleted some content, yet the issue persists.

Sharing interfaces with non-users

Hi all, I already know Airtable doesnt allow you to share interfaces with non-users (not a good move, Airtable!) but i'm trying to not give up on the beautiful dashboards i made. Other than taking a screenshot, are there any extensions/third-party tools that i can use to share my dashboards with others that are not on Airtable? We want to share it with our board, funders, etc.

Interface Charts: Multiseries and Dual y-axis charts

according to the What's New page found at https://www.airtable.com/whatsnew , it says that Interface Charts now support Multiseries and dual y-axis charts and it includes pictures. I don't see these anywhere in the Interface Charts interfaces? Where are these charts and how do you access them to add to an interface? Much appreciated!

Trying to create an inventory base for inventorying fire trucks every 6 months

Have built 4 tables to collect inventory information on our fire department’s truck inventory. Tables: cabinets i.e. E-211 Cab. #1 items i.e. 2 1/2” Brass Male to Male Coupler inventory: list and # of item in each cabinet archive inventory: because the governing body wants it. I am trying to create this using Interfaces. What I am trying to do is use a Record Review template that has the cabinets in the left pane and the inventory items for each cabinet in the right pane. I have been successful in that. I have a working Inventory Interface page. The item list is complete (2,501 items). The Cabinet list is complete (65 cabinets). Truck Captains will use an iPad to open Airtable to the Inventory interface and choose one of the truck/cabinets they are responsible for from the left hand list and check off the inventory items they find. If they find an item missing or the quantity less than that listed they will enter that number in the OH field. When they finish that list they will open an

Edit Meta SEO Title and Description for Form To Clear up Confusion About Airtable Affiliate Program

We have a form in Airtable for our app's affiliate program. When users search Google for "Airtable affiliate," our form appears as the top result. Although our form isn't related to Airtable's affiliate program, people don't read carefully and we are getting unrelated and confused applicants daily... I think updating the SEO meta title and description would reduce irrelevant clicks. Is it possible to edit the metadata for this form? Screenshot: https://cln.sh/QStGkLDQ
