What is the proposed idea/solution? for better accessibility - please label the colours with text - when hovering over in the base design How does is solve the user problems? 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women have some form of colour blindness - or colour visual deficiency. This means that distinguishing many of the colours in airtable is difficult. Giving bases different colours is great as this is both a visual cue when you use multiple bases and interfaces - and in communicating with the teams that use them - however when some users aren't clear which colour is which (I am one and i develop tools heavily in the platform) it causes needless friction - for what should be a quick fix How was this validated? please see standard accessibility guidelines for using colours and ensuring those with sight problems can see the tools effectively. Who is the target audience? all users and all users with colour blindness - e.g. disabled providing greater accessibility.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow a one-click "expand all" or "collapse all" on the Interface's Record Review's Record list sidebar, allowing easier viewing of records without the need to manually collapse/expand them. How does it solve the user problems? Ease and efficiency of use instead of doing it manually. How was this validated? Normal data view can do it, so the interface should be able to do so as well. Who is the target audience? Interface users who use Record Review.

What is the proposed idea/solution? I would like to be able to colorize the full Row. I would like to set different color for the full row instead just a colorized label at the beginning of the row. ... Who is the target audience? ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Other elements, such as Calendar, Timeline, Gallery and Kanban to act as Record Pickers, allowing for records to be clicked within the element, and their subsequent fields to be looked-up and displayed within the interface. Think of the way a Record Picker element behaves, and now apply that behaviour to the other Elements. When you think about a Calendar, it's showing records just like the record picker is showing records, just in a different visual format. Further to these mentioned elements, this same Record Pick behaviour should also be added to Linked Fields and Lookup Fields. How does is solve the user problems? The Record Picker is a very powerful element - but I feel it shouldn't have a monopoly over its specific functionality, and that the other elements such as Calendar etc would all benefit vastly from having this same ability. Who is the target audience? Anyone building and using Interfaces, where multiple tables are in play, typically at 3 levels deep - for example, Project -> (Task Dictionary) -> Task.

It would be a real game-changer — and totally awesome — if the column headers at the top of Airtable’s grid view would wrap lengthy field names onto multiple lines. Other spreadsheet programs allow for variable heights of the column headers — we should have the same capability in Airtable. Currently, Airtable cuts off the text of lengthy field names, but it’s our only choice if we want to keep our columns tight & narrow. If we want to see long field names, we are required to keep our columns extra-wide, which wastes a lot of screen space. Check out the screenshot below for an example of this problem. Notice how much wasted space there is, simply because we want to see the field names above. Our users often request descriptive field names so that they can understand exactly what they are looking at in the rows below. But descriptive field names end up making the column extremely wide. Yes, we could come up with some sort of abbreviation for the field names, but it’s nicer for our users to see the entire field name. Yes, our users could also hover our mouse over the field names to see the entire name in a tooltip, but that is inconvenient & it takes time for the tooltip to appear. In other words, what I’m requesting is either: The column headers should automatically increase their size vertically to accommodate longer field names. We should be able to manually change the height of the column headers. Thanks! 🙂 — ScottWorld, Expert Airtable Consultant

What is the proposed idea/solution? Price per user rather than per Workspace - Or allow better organization, folders, etc within a Workspace. We pay more per user on a Pro plan than we do for our CRM. Yet if we want to collaborate with external parties we need to move the base to a free workspace due to the sharing limitations. We are a small company and purchased pro for everyone - yet it is becoming a mess. We cannot even segment visibility of bases within the workspace from some users, since everyone needs to be a pro for that workspace. Enterprise is outlandishly expensive for small organizations. We are willing to pay for the service, but the limits even on a pro plan are limiting our use and commitment to the product. How does is solve the user problems? ... How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? A feature that lets you group fields by context. As simple as that. Above is an extreme mvp, but i guess it should be something in that path. How does is solve the user problems? It would help creators manage fields when a table gets huge (in columns). It would be easier for anyone to better understand the table schema. How was this validated? I am using Airtable in my team with a lot of people getting to know the base and sometimes it is overwhelming for them to process every column in their minds. It is not visual and I had to do it outside to show them. I know it could be viewed as many 1:1 relations, so one could say "the user should create new tables". OK, but then there are some problems If the user needs to access those info in the table (for filters, calculations or interface designing, lets say) it would have to lookup these fields - the problem would still exist. Who is the target audience? I think every member on a team with creators that are heavy users.

I really need for Kanban to work with a multiselect field the way Timeline works. The ability to group/lane by each option in the multiselect field. Then if there is more than one selection then the card appears in each lane of the selections. I would think that in the split scenario, if a card is selected with options A and B ... then if you grab a card to move it from option A to Option C, it would result in Option B and option C now. If you needed to add a 3rd selection, then you would go into expanded view to edit the selections. We are using this as a todo/workload board. Anything under a team/persons name indicates it's in progress, and we can see what they are working on and when each are due. In some cases we have a task that needs more than one person working on it, but do not want to create new projects for these scenarios.

Hello everyone, love your app! Here's a quick suggestion, which might be fast to implement. Sometimes the column name has three or four words, and it's content is just a checkbox or a two-digit number. Could it be that we change the height of the column names, and maybe even word-wrap for it to be as compressed as possible? It could be a single select from one, two, or three rows for the headers, or have it with word-wrap by default. Something like this: -- Includes prime vid YES -- This would be really helpful to show clear information and maximize column space. Thanks!

I know this has been posted many times before, but we need a real solution to allow for grouping by multi-select fields in a way that makes all records associated with at least that value shown in the value grouping. Yes, this might result in one record appearing multiple times in a grid view. Yes, that is desirable. Notion users know that this is much more intuitive and user-friendly than the way Airtable handles this behavior. --- Here's a real example for us: We do project planning in Airtable across quarters. Projects may span multiple quarters (multi-select field). There is no way to view all projects grouped by quarter where all Q1 projects are collected in a single group! As a designer, it boggles my mind that it behaves this way...
