Hello, We want to be able to search within attachments (word/ppt/pdf), similarly to typing a keyword in dropbox or google drive and getting results based on the presence of that word or phrase. PDF to text conversion is not a great solution for us since we have upwards of 3000 records and each record contains 2 attachments on average. Has anyone found a working solution?

While we love the Row Height option in some of our views, we struggle with how images within attachment fields are previewed. Currently, each image within an attachment field fills the full height of the row/record. This is a sub-optimal use of screen real estate. Instead, we suggest a thumbnail scale option within the field settings. This could be a slider, or simply a choice between 1-up, 2-up and 3-up thumbnail grids. Here’s a before-and-after of what we’re thinking: And if implementing such scaling, why not add it to the Gallery View? While full-frame thumbnails LOOK great, a small grid of thumbnails would likely be more useful in a lot of use cases; particularly as screen resolutions increase.

We keep our final social media photos and videos (MP4) organized in AirTable. However, AirTable doesn’t show a thumbnail of the MP4 videos. It is hard to quickly tell which video is which. Please add video thumbnails in the attachment field.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add PDF as supported file type for attachment annotations. How does is solve the user problems? This would allow more robust proofing & approval workflows than what Airtable currently allows. PDF is a standard format for this workflow and not being able to annotate drives users to seek external solutions or move to alternate platforms. How was this validated? This is a standard need, and the attachment annotations help page confirms that PDF is not a supported file type. Who is the target audience? Marketing & Creative teams, Sales teams, Legal teams/contract review, any other teams that need to be able to annotate PDFs vs. just images or videos.

When opening an attached document in Airtable it blocks the view of the record. It would be handy when a document opened in a new window, to be able to read an opened document and the connected record at the same time (for example to make notes/description from the document into the record).

A client of mine just discovered a small issue with Airtable when it comes to the “Send Record” command. (“Send Record” is the command you can choose when right-clicking on a record.) If you have an attachment field as part of your record, Airtable will place a small thumbnail of your attachment in the outgoing email. This is fantastic! 🙂 However, if your attachment field is actually a LOOKUP FIELD that displays an attachment, then the thumbnail is no longer placed in the outgoing email. Airtable just places a link to the attachment instead. What’s interesting is that all other types of lookup fields (text, dates, numbers, etc.) seem to get placed in the outgoing email just fine — it seems like only attachments cause this issue.

There really ought to be a simple way to move an attachment from one field to another. Like the Move To button on Google Docs.

It would be awesome to be able to limit uploads for an attachment field to specific file type. For example, to ensure that only PDFs are uploaded to a certain field

The button is way to small in the mobile app, impossible to click on first try, sometimes need to click 10 times to hit it. It’s not a problem with the application or iOS or Android but the close button is too small. The issue is on iOS (iPad mini smaller screen than iPad) and maybe also Android, don’t know.) See picture.
