Hi

you’ve got those great Extensions (made by Airtable) like Chart Extension and Pivot Extension but in the Interface Designer, making Bar Charts for example has substantially less options.
For example, there is no option to group by to get such a chart:

Are there any thoughts on bringing the most popular/most used Extension applications also to the Interface soon? It is actually quite annoying to create a Dashboard in the Interface perfectly knowing, that a better, more insightful Dashboard remains hidden inside the actual Base.

Thanks!

I agree, I miss the pivot table option in the Interface designer.

This would be a killer feature for interfaces, and it would be great to know if it is on the roadmap :thinking:

I'm needing to see Script Extension embedded within Interface. I'd like the choice to either directly embed Extensions into Interfaces without the Dash (and whitespace/irrelevant Dash buttons), and also to embed a Dash into an Interface.

+1 to bringing pivot tables to Interfaces. It's one of those things that feels surprising it's not already there.

Pivot tables in interfaces would be a huge leap forward in being able to use interfaces for useful data visualisation for reporting etc...

any idea on whether tis is on the product roadmap / and if so when this might happen... i can't count the number of times I have wanted to do this

+1  Adding extensions and scripts to Interfaces is a must need. Please AIRTABLE's people. Is this going to happen soon?

Adding to the consensus, would really be useful to have the ability to add pivot tables to the interface.

+1! I saw I could create a pivot table in extensions but unable to create anything similar with Interfaces.

Well, I just designed a page with Page Designer extension. Similarily I found very disappointing that it cannot be accessed from the interface (unless someone gives me the way to do that). So I design an interface for the users, and then I use available tools to make reporting. Just to find that the users cannot access this tool. This is ridiculous.

Airtable you need to develop a whole system, not just bits of a system.

Still waiting for this. Interfaces are almost useless as dashboards at the moment!!

They also need to improve pivot tables so that there is row grouping...

Waiting for it too.

Dashboards without the possibility of adding pivot tables or basic aggregate calculations (eg. ratio between two fields) make interface rather useless in my case...
