In the options for different interface types, the only way to get a table is through starting with a blank interface and adding a table element in. This often causes scrolling issues between the whole page and within the table, and overall is is a very clunky way to get a table interface.

Can a new interface be made that is just a table, similar to the list interface, but with the functionality of a table. It would be the same as the table view under the data tab, but having it as an interface gives a lot more control over access to it and sharing between other people. 

 

If this could be added it would also solve Allow what users can see/access individual Views in the same table as @TheTimeSavingCo commented on this.

Are you referring to the "grid view"? That is actually available as a standalone interface, but Airtable has strangely hidden it. Just start with a list view or a kanban view or a calendar view or any of the other dedicated views, and then in the right margin, you can select different visualizations that you want for that view. One of your options is "grid". It's strange that Airtable didn't make this a standalone option from the very beginning.

Hope this helps! If youโ€™d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant โ€” ScottWorld

@ScottWorld Thank you very much!!

This is exactly what I wanted, hadn't realised the option to change the interface after you had created it.
