Idea: Enable copy or export of pivot-tables in interfaces. This functionality already exists in the pivot-table extention in the data tab. But not in the interface tab. User problem: I need to use the data from the pivot table in another tool. Copying or exporting is not possible. Printing to PDF has its own issues. Validation: Scoured all over the internet for a fix and actually got nothing that would work. How does it solve it: It solves the user problem because its the easiest solution. Just allow me to copy my outcomes. Target audience: anyone that uses airtable but needs added functionality outside airtable. Enable copy or export pivot-tables in interfaces Extra information: Hi Guys, am working on a project were I use Airtable as database. I have an payd account. For cummunicating the outcomes of the project I use Flourish. The reason for this is because I need quite complex functionality for the graphs. Which airtable doesnt have and doesnt need to have. However, I cannot copy the Pivot table outcomes in the interface while keeping the table structure intact. Also, if i want to print the table to PDF and use OCR or Excel to extract the data to a structured table. I cannot always print the entire table, because the print-tool from airtable interface does not seem to understand that a pivot table can be bigger than 1 A4. The consequence is that it prints only partly, there is no option to scale. This functionality does exist in the pivot table extention in the data-section. However, the pivot table in the data tab misses some basic functionalities like aggregating.

What is the proposed idea/solution? A built in extension that provides the ability to bulk download attachments. Filtering which records include and also renaming files based on any column of the table. How does is solve the user problems? Sometimes we need to export the contents of an attachment column. Doing this one by one it’s not efficient at all. Downloading data in csv it’s not enough. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ...

It would be great if there was an option to allow for CSV imports within interfaces. 2 potential use cases are: The ability to upload CSV's in a list view that adds new records to the list The ability to upload CSV's in a Record Detail View that would automatically add child records to a list/linked record field I'm sure there are plenty more scenarios but these are the 2 I'm currently facing.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Enable integration with Sharepoint spaces and OneDrive folders/documents How does is solve the user problems? Some of us don't use Google docs/sheets/form/etc. but Microsoft Sharepoint and OneDrive docs and it's very hard to extract value from Airtable without those essential integration with our everyday workflows. How was this validated? I am project manager and program lead who designs Airtable for wider org to adopt. Who is the target audience? All Sharepoint or MS Office users (all of Walmart employees to start with!)

What is the proposed idea/solution? Enable a staging/pre-prod environment for bases, and their associated interfaces and data. The solution should allow each base to be logically linked to a pre-prod base, with two-way syncing that is fired manually. Changes made in pre-prod should be easily pushed to prod, which would include adding/removing/editing: fields & attributes (e.g. name, formula, links, etc.) tables & attributes interfaces data (to allow for data staging and cleaning, especially for ETL/ELT purposes) data syncs should be optional, and provide the option to either completely overwrite or merge with existing data How does is solve the user problems? This allows users to make changes to either base structures, logic, or interfaces without affecting live / production data and interfaces. How was this validated? Staging and Prod environments are best practice in any development process. Who is the target audience? Everyone who values data integrity.

PLEASE add the ability to use PDF export from page designer in automation! Or at least add the PDF as an attachment field in the record. The only way to get use out of the page designer is to manually download each record, would to use for creating static documentation of what a record looks like at a given time or send to client for review, etc.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add more imported data from each email imported from Outlook via Automations. Specifically I'm missing "Conversation ID" that could be very useful to automatically group emails that are part of a longer conversation. If possible, also being able to get at least PDF attachments would be amazing. How does is solve the user problems? I have to rely on one or more services to get these features today (Power Automate (has more data from each email) to Google Sheets, then using automations to import from Google sheets. As you already have a Outlook integration, adding a few more data points should be easy. How was this validated? Other services provide much more data points for Outlook emails. Who is the target audience? People that use Outlook and Automations to import emails from their inbox to Airtable.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Being able to export a file to .xls/.xlsx How does is solve the user problems? This gives a great way to share a full project overview for people that may not have access to Airtable and will bring over formatting/pictures when/where necessary that .csv export does not. How was this validated? I used to use ClickUp and they had this feature available. Whichever "view" I was on, I was able to export to an xls file to allow editing by other team members that do not use airtable.

If you do a lot of importing/exporting of CSV or Excel data with Airtable, you know that invisible leading or trailing whitespace can wreak havoc on your work, especially when you try to use text data from outside Airtable to match existing single-/multi-select fields or link fields. I’ve spent many hours tracking down these kinds of errors with imported data. While you can use TRIM formulas and the like outside of Airtable to clean the data beforehand, that’s not always convenient if you don’t control the source of the data (or that data changes frequently). What about an option on single line text fields in Airtable to automatically trim leading/trailing whitespace characters once the user is done editing the field? Seems like it would save a lot of headaches and would be easy to implement.

What is the proposed idea/solution? You can "hide identical fields", but not computed fields (which can't be merged). Let users choose to also hide the computed fields. How does is solve the user problems? It will be easier to have an overview of the records when those fields are hidden. Less scrolling
