I work for an educational non-profit and we use airtable to track our school visits and activities. We currently rely on grouping records together to show class-specific data as well as school-specific information. I was hoping that interface designer would be an easier way for our team to visually group this information together but didn’t see a way to group records. I could only filter and sort records that would show up.

Is there a way to get all of this information into one Interface?

I have a sample table below with the information we want to display. The first record has our school specific information and all subsequent rows are class specific. Ideally I want a way to display the school record and then have a simplified table for classes to update numbers throughout the day. Is that possible?

+1 to grouping. Any listing should be able to be grouped like a view. In my case, we often group records by their location in a pipeline process.

Did you find it out how to use groupings in the interface designer? 

Yes! I'm sure there is a reason it's not there, but if you're listening Airtable, PLEASE add it to the roadmap so I can direct casual users to an interface. I love views and accessing all the raw data, but they intimidate sponsors and key decision makers, yet I need them in there.

Dynamic grouping would be a great feature. Right now I need to create a base interface and then duplicate it with the groups that I need.

Has there been any movement on grouping records within the interfaces view? I'm using a Gallery interface to display equipment that is at a location. Right now, the interface displays 1 card per piece of equipment. I'd like to group by location so that I can see each location, and then all of that equipment that is at that location. This is possible within the (raw) Data tab by grouping records by their location but there seems to be no way to do something similar within the interfaces view.
