We would love for there to be a way to customize the calendar view in a way that would allow us, for example, to track events (records) that are occurring simultaneously across various locations (dropdown field). Kind of like how you can see various Google Calendars side-by-side (which was the workaround we used this year via Zapier). A more specific breakdown of what we're looking to do is as follows: - The ability to create sections within the calendar view based on a dropdown field within the Table. Since we're hosting events across various venues throughout the day, it's vital that we see every event side-by-side, split up by venue to ensure there's no overlap. - When choosing to add other date fields to pull from, it'd be great to be able to customize what information goes into those additional date fields instead of AirTable just expanding the main record. Example: Each event (record) has an introduction, Q&A, and turnaround time. If there was a way to have the calendar show those different start/end times separately, and if we could choose what areas from that record are highlighted, that would be ideal.

We're trying to use Airtable forms to track customer leads for conversion/remarketing ad campaigns, but confirming a form submission is very difficult. We currently redirect to a confirmation page on our site that fires conversion tracking tags, but because the redirect delay is so long we're worried prospects will close the page before they activate those tags. When building a form, we'd love options to: Set the redirect delay time (including the option for no delay) Customize the redirect page text/design (so it can show a message that's more engaging than just the redirect URL)

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? When designing interfaces, if I create a button to create new records, the form does not allow for new options in single-select fields. I know there are workarounds, but a better idea is just to give designers the option via a toggle when in the "Edit pages" designer for forms. This toggle already exists in Interface Designer, (screenshot attached). Please include it for when designing forms within Interfaces. How does is solve the user problems? Makes users' lives easier. Enhances Airtable's capabilities. Currently they have to do workaround that involve multiple steps, and I'd rather not make a process take 3 steps when 1 would do. How was this validated? ? Who is the target audience? Everyone using the Interface forms.

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.

Hello Community, I’ve had a bit of an idea. At our company, we have tables that can have up to 30-40 columns in them, especially on the “summary” or “master” tables, where data is assembled from other tables. This can get very confusing. What If we could group similar columns together in a similar way we group rows? Color-coded, collapsible, and individually shareable. It could be quite powerful. Thoughts?

Statistical charting: AIRTABLE currently allows users to create basic charts, such as bar charts, line charts, and pie charts, but they lack the statistical details that would make them more useful for data analysis. The following improvements could be made: Add labels to the charts that provide more information about the data being displayed, such as mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation. Allow users to select the formatting and color of chart elements, such as bars, lines, and labels, to create a more visually appealing and informative chart. Integrate the interface with other data visualization tools, such as Tableau or PowerBI, to allow users to create more complex and interactive charts that can be viewed in the AIRTABLE interface.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ... A new feature that transposes the Rows and Columns of a View. How does is solve the user problems? ... It is useful to transpose the Rows and Columns of a Table for for viewing and / or calculations. In Airtable it is more efficient to create Records for time rather than Fields (e.g. each Row is a unit of Time like a Week, Month, Quarter, Year, etc. and not the column). The ability to see each unit of Time as a column moving from left to right is standard practice. How was this validated? ...This is a core feature to all spreadsheet applications. Who is the target audience? ...All Users

What is the proposed idea/solution? Base Schema extension... on steroids 💊!! The existing base schema extension is ok, but could be way better for documenting the base. Simple updates/requirements: 1. Allow for multiple slides/pages where different views/arrangements of the schema can be shown 2. Hide certain tables (when you want to show or explain one specific workflow) 3. Hide certain fields 4. Include table descriptions 5. Include field descriptions 6. Allow for a Header for each slide 5. Allow for text notes within each slide. How does is solve the user problems? Current base schema is good for understanding and visualizing, but not for documenting. Only a few additional features are needed. The whole base would be documented in one same place (extension), going through different workflows and structures in a neat and organized way. It would recycle already existing table and field descriptions. Who is the target audience? All Airtable users with complex bases!
