What is the proposed idea/solution? There is not currently an option to add a generic search bar to a custom interface page. The only option is to have different filter options How does is solve the user problems? It would give users the abilty to search multiple different fields without having to make sure they are typing matching text in the correct filter option How was this validated? User experience. The photo attatched shows the custom view that is being used, the reason I do not change it to the prefigured Kanaban view is because there is another view below it that I like having on the same page as the Kanaban view. Who is the target audience? Airtable users

What is the proposed idea/solution? When using the "Group by" feature, Treat the group heading as a frozen row so that it follows the user down the page until the next 'group' heading takes over, or at least make this an option for users who would find it convenient. If there are subgroups How does is solve the user problems? It doesn't make the user try to recall what the 'group' category is if they are having to scan several records that fall within a single group. I love Airtable, but this is a nightmare for a person with ADHD. I sometimes have to scan back up the page multiple times to see what 'group' records fall under. ... How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? I think many folks would find this useful, but as a neurodivergent Airtable user who has loved being able to create systems with Airtable that *mostly* work for my brain, this one is a working memory nightmare.

It would be an amazing tool to be able to embed a link using the URL field. Aesthetically, it it more pleasing and it's more clear to someone reading the link what they are clicking on.

In Form View (and in grid view also), we have some multi- and single-select fields. The selection options tend to be long, and some would need to wrap two lines of text to be displayed fully on form view. People using the form, can see the full option text of the selection by mousing over, but this is tedious as we have many long selections. It would be great, if when we create the field, we have the option to "Wrap Text." We realize this may mean that some of the checkboxes will have one line gaps between them, but that is OK with us. We prefer better customer usability. Screenshot image: Shows long text being cut off. "Add wrap text toggle option here" image: Where you can put the option to wrap text

I manage one base with two interfaces for my company. One is the Team interface everyone has access to and the other is a Management interface where only management has access to. The Team interface undergoes the most evolution and it's nearly impossible for me to keep open record panels consistent across both interfaces. Frankly, I find it ridiculous you can't copy open record panels from another interface that shares the same base but that's another point entirely. Ideally, I would like consolidate both interfaces into the Team interface and the Management pages have a password protection feature that prompts you to fill in a password (one singular password specified in the interface editor - no need for separate user passwords) before permitting access to the page. The current system makes it difficult to scale and retain consistency across multiple interfaces and I feel like this would be a simple solution with a big impact on permissions.

in the ‘button’ field type, I’d love to see an option to include a secondary confirmation button on click of the main button. This would prevent bad consequences related to accidental clicks on buttons. Most of the time, the buttons I include in my tables trigger quite elaborate automations and I’d like a simple way to make sure that my users don’t accidently press the button and trigger a cascade of unwanted changes. The confirmation window could even include a customizable message for the user.

This would be a very useful feature to prevent people from accidentally entering dates that have already passed, or to restrict to a certain period of time (e.g. no more than two weeks ahead). Additionally if you have a form with several date fields, you could have conditional restrictions on what date could be entered based on a previous date entered (e.g. a finish date would always have to be after a start date).

What is the proposed idea/solution? All Interfaces should be mobile responsive by default. In the Preview mode give two icons (mobile and laptop screens) to toggle between Preview on Mobile or Preview on Laptop In the Interface > Preview on Mobile screen, is very ikely that the user may want to either rearrange or hide certain elements from the mobile responsive view. So provide list of all elements with a Show/Hide toggle. If an elements is hidden in mobile view, it should not get automatically hidden from the web view. Refer Wix Editor for reference How does is solve the user problems? The target audience are most likely to view the Interfaces on a mobile phone. Hence, by making it available and mobile responsive, it'll significantly improve Interface usability How was this validated? Common sense. Who is the target audience? Senior management, clients, field sales etc.

What is the proposed idea/solution? For bar charts, where we can group field summaries, I propose the ability to limit them to "top x" where x is a custom number field. How does this solve the user problems? If there are a lot of records at play during grouping, then grouping field summaries do not visually work. For example below is a bar chart where: y-axis is the total number of pre-orders x-axis is the release date months the chart shows the sum of different orders it is grouped by brands Ideally, if I want to only see the top 5 brands pre-ordered that month, I would input "top 5" so there would only be five bars, and the rest are "others." Additionally, it would be great to have the groups sorted in ascending or descending order by aggregate or alphabetically. It's best if we can limit it to what we think is aesthetically plausible. How was this validated? Grouping is dependent on the field summary's aggregate. If we can limit lookup fields to last x or first x, I think this should be possible too. Who is the target audience? Interface users. People who like charts.

What is the proposed idea/solution? The little calendar pop up date picker that appears in calendar view should be available in timeline views also How does is solve the user problems?

Users of timeline view with long time scales Thanks Team!
