Not all of the Airtable users are young and blessed with good eyesight. Some of us are over 40 and it is VERY hard to read the contrast on the field headings. Please make them darker or give us the ability to make them darker and legible. Is it even ADA compliant being so faint and small? You can fix this so please do!

I would love to be able to share a grid, kanban, calendar or gallery view where anybody could add a record even without an account. This would be very helpful in teaching to collect lots of information and interact with students. When you share a form view people can only add one record at a time and they can’t see other records. Let’s say I share a calendar view where students could add a time for them to present their work, a grid view where they could easily add literature references or a kanban view where they could brainstorm new ideas and rearrange them. I use Airtable with Ludus.one and it would be such a great way to interact with students doing class. So I would use this feature live with students to interact with them, but I would also do it when I needed to collect a lot of inputs from people I don’t work closely with. Perhaps embed an open feature request view on our website! You can look at Padlet for inspiration. It’s a very loved and used tool in education. So that “little” feature in Airtable could have a great impact on teaching!

I want an AI Agent that does the clicking and typing for me. "Filter on Product Names containing "widget" " "Show me all records for Customer XYZ" "Sort this view by Date" "Check the box - Create Sales Order" "Set Follow-up Date to 2 weeks from today" Nitty gritties: 1. Navigating "Go to the Customers table" "Switch to the [Sales Orders] view" "Show me the records from the past month" 2. Searching & Filtering Data "Filter by [Product Name] containing 'widget'" "Show me all records for [Customer XYZ]" "Find all tasks due tomorrow" "Show me all records where 'Status' is 'Pending'" 3. Data Manipulation "Sort this view by [Date] in descending order" "Sort the records by [Amount] from highest to lowest" "Show only records where 'Stock Level' is less than 10" "Set [Shipping Date] to next Monday" "Delete all records older than 6 months" 4. Data Entry & Updates "Create a new record with [Customer Name], [Product], [Quantity], and [Price]" "Add a note to record [ID] with 'Shipment delayed until Friday'" "Update 'Follow-up Date' to 2 weeks from today for all records in 'Pending' status" 5. Task Automation "Set a reminder to follow up on [Customer XYZ] next Monday" "Mark all tasks in this view as 'Completed' " "Create a new 'Reminder' task for [Customer XYZ] to call next week" 6. Interacting with Linked Records "Show all records related to [Customer XYZ] in the [Invoices] table" "Link these records to [Sales Order #123]" 7. Integrations & Workflows "Send a reminder email to [Customer XYZ] about their order status" "Sync this table with Google Sheets" "Run the [Monthly Sales Report] automation" 8. Collaboration & Notifications "Notify [Team Member] about a delay in the order for [Customer XYZ]" "Share this view with [Email Address]" 9. AI Assistant "How can I..." "Are there any integrations that can help with XYZ ?"

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.

Allow the Admin account to share specific views to users, and revoke access to others. This would be a page where I can add or remove users access to the specific view. This should also be similar in the Permissions options, where users can be an editor, viewer, commenter, but have it so they can have different permissions in different views. This means that a user may have access to 'View 1' and 'View 2', but not 'View 3', and this user is able to edit in 'View 1' but not in 'View 2' and cannot see or edit in 'View 3'

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...Introduce an option in Airtable's Interface Designer to hide or collapse elements within a page until a filter or record picker linked to it has a selection made. How does is solve the user problems? ...When navigating pages with numerous elements or multiple filter boxes (often due to information being pulled from various tables), hiding elements until a filter option is chosen minimizes visual clutter and unnecessary scrolling. This enhancement simplifies the interface at first glance, creating a cleaner, more focused user experience. It also reduces the number of pages required within an interface, consolidating workflows and reducing the number of clicks needed to access information. Overall, this saves users time and improves efficiency by streamlining their interaction with the interface. How was this validated? ... This idea is supported by user feedback highlighting frustration with current interface designs, specifically: Difficulty understanding what a page offers or the purpose of its elements without a visible breakdown. The need to scroll through an entire page to locate a specific element, which can be time-consuming. Challenges faced by new Airtable users or those unfamiliar with a particular page, as they struggle to quickly grasp its structure or find relevant information. These insights demonstrate the value of a cleaner, more dynamic interface that adapts to user actions, reducing confusion and improving efficiency. Who is the target audience? ...The target audience includes any users of Airtable, such as (but not limited to) project managers, data analysts, and interface designers who rely on complex, multi-table data interfaces to drive productivity. Additionally, casual users who benefit from simplified, intuitive workflows will also find value in this enhancement.

What is the proposed idea/solution? When seeing a change in a field of a record in the activities feed it would be very helpful to be able to click on that and jump to the field. How does is solve the user problems? Because the information is truncated, being able to jump to a field with full data will make it easier to collect and make that information actionable. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Anyone who wants to be able to more easily navigate through a record without scrolling through dozens and dozens of fields.

Hello! The search bar in the "Data" section of Airtable should not only function as a search tool but also as a filter, similar to how it is already possible in interface tables. Users could access relevant records faster without having to switch between filters that don't consider all records and cannot be deactivated. Not having to set up the filters again each time would save a significant amount of time. Such a filter function already exists in interface tables and would offer more flexible search and filter options. The irrelevant records still show up, while all relevant ones aren't hidden:
