What is the proposed idea/solution? I suggest introducing a test/production environment feature in Airtable that applies to the data automations and interface sections of a base. This would allow users to create and test changes within a "test" version of a base, including data modifications and interface updates etc.. without impacting the live production environment. Once the changes have been fully tested and validated, users could publish these changes to the production environment, ensuring that the live base remains stable and unaffected during the testing phase. How does is solve the user problems? Comprehensive Risk Mitigation: It provides a safe environment for users to experiment with data, automations and interface changes, minimizing the risk of disrupting the live base. Increased Confidence in Updates: Users can test new workflows, interface layouts, formulas, scripts, and automations comprehensively in isolation, ensuring everything works correctly before pushing changes live. Streamlined Workflow: This would eliminate the need for cumbersome workarounds, such as duplicating bases for testing, and reduce confusion caused by multiple versions. It would also allow for seamless transitions from testing to production, improving overall efficiency. Who is the target audience? Power Users: Those who use Airtable for complex projects and need to test changes before going live. Teams and Organizations: Groups relying on Airtable for collaboration, requiring safe testing environments to avoid disruptions. Developers and Technical Users: Those building custom scripts or integrations who need a sandbox for experimentation. Project Managers: Responsible for maintaining base integrity, ensuring changes are vetted before deployment. Consultants: Professionals managing Airtable for clients, needing to demo changes safely before applying them to live bases Thank you Team Airtable !

What is the proposed idea/solution? The proposed idea is to allow users to upload a custom image to use as the icon for their Airtable bases. Currently, bases are represented by a generic icon, but with this feature, users could personalize their base icons with an image that is meaningful to their project or team. This would add a visual touch to the base navigation and make it easier for users to quickly identify specific bases. How does is solve the user problems? This feature would solve several user problems: Visual organization: With custom icons, users can visually differentiate between multiple bases, making it easier to navigate and find the base they need. Personalization: Users can choose an image that resonates with their project or team, making the Airtable experience more engaging and personalized. Branding: For companies or teams using Airtable, custom icons can help reinforce their brand identity within the platform. Reduced cognitive load: By providing a visual cue, custom icons can help reduce the cognitive load associated with navigating multiple bases, making it easier for users to focus on their work. How was this validated? While I don't have specific data or user research to cite, here are some possible ways to validate this idea: User feedback: Review Airtable's user forums, social media, or support requests to see if users have requested this feature or expressed frustration with the current generic icons. Competitor analysis: Research other project management or collaboration tools that offer custom icon features and assess their user adoption and satisfaction. User testing: Conduct usability testing or surveys to gauge user interest in custom icons and gather feedback on how they would use this feature. Internal feedback: Discuss the idea with Airtable's internal teams, such as sales, marketing, or customer success, to gather their input and insights on the potential value of this feature. Who is the target audience? Airtable user

What is the proposed idea/solution? Option to colour table tabs in classic grid view. How does is solve the user problems? As a database grows, there can be quite a lot of tables in a base. Mine has 25 tables that I use. It gets tedious looking for the right table. If there was an option to colour table tabs by topic, it would be much more intuitive to find the right table quickly. How was this validated? From experience - I often find myself searching for a table, especially when I'm working on a laptop screen (13-15'') and not all the tables are displayed at once. Who is the target audience? Anyone with more than 10 tables in a base.

I'm trying to suggest something simple (hopefully). I attached a screenshot of my google chrome using tab groups. It would be great to be able group tables especially when I'm in the pro version and working with many records in a base with my team. The table names are very long and I have many tables as well. It'd be nice if it can be like a chrome tab group, that way it won't take away from the spreadsheet layout idea. Thanks!

What is the proposed idea/solution? To create another entry in the dropdown (currently only has 'Delete' so new (similar) tabs can be created quickly. eg an entry above 'Delete' that says 'Duplicate': How does is solve the user problems? I have a load of tabs to create that are very similar and it would reduce the chances of error and also speed up my creation workflow. How was this validated? Sorry, I am unable to provide this. Who is the target audience? Creators/owners who have to create multiple tabs/views when creating new Gallery/Record List pages (I don't know whether this option could be included in other page types).

To whom it may concern, An enhancement suggestion from Kalypso: Enable ability in Date Settings for Gantt Layout in Timeline View to allow exceptions for specific weekends to be working days. This would function similar to how Holidays setting allows exceptions for working days. Expected Benefits: Ability to track project schedules accurately when supporting weekend work. Please consider adding this capability. Regards, Jason Knighten

To whom it may concern, An enhancement suggestion from Kalypso: Create Airtable functionality to replicate table structure to another base, including views and field definitions/metadata (selection values, etc.). Similar to Duplicate Table, but to another base. Expected Benefits: Administrative efficiency Ability to do this ad-hoc is valuable even with new Managed Apps capability as not all use cases are or can be planned in advance Please consider adding this capability.

To whom it may concern, An enhancement suggestion from Kalypso: Enable ability to left click drag from blank area in screen in list views. Expected Benefits: This is most applicable for Interfaces because the List view in the interface may be much longer than the screen. If I want to see fields to the right, I have to scroll all the way down to bottom of the view to move the bottom scroll bar, then scroll back up to the area I wanted to see. This would be very helpful in Interfaces to more easily navigate the table. This would be helpful in data view only but at least in that view, the scroll bar is easier to access at the bottom of the screen. Please consider adding this capability. Regards, Jason Knighten
