Android Update: Interface Access and Form Creation

Sarah_Ford · ‎Dec 16, 2022

What is the proposed idea/solution? Include interface access on Android phones and permit form creation for any type of phone. Or, making the app available on the Windows store in some capacity for PC users. How does it solve the user problems? This would make experience more consistent across all platforms. Interfaces are extremely helpful for transmitting information and using on site for a job. We can set up on the back end in preproduction a clean interface with information that is constantly changing. But, when only 50% of the freelancers we hire have the same kind of phone, it becomes a hindrance in efficiency. Who is the target audience? Anyone who doesn't have a mac or an iPhone. Google Pixels and Samsungs are becoming more prevalent because of availability and pricing, Airtable needs to step into the PC world with accessibility. It will change the user experience dramatically.

What is the proposed idea/solution? To use other Number elements on the page as a source for a Number element How does it solve user problems? Number element, by itself, can use one table as a source. Still, if I have multiple Number elements using different tables as a source, it would be helpful to get the sum (or other summary types) of other elements, so there's a grand total of some sort. How was this validated? The same idea as how Number elements work, but using other elements as a source rather than a table. Who is the target audience? Those who use the Dashboard template on the Interface Designer.

It would be helping a lot to have a feature working the same way as the Page Designer but it would create an input page. Actually I know a lot of people who would buy Airtable system only to be able to use this kind of feature. The form view is not optimal and ofter have too much space between Item. A page designer block where I can place where (Single line, dropdown, attachement input, URL, etc…) field are and then simply click the checkbox. Potential : In an inventory management system this would be wonderful, If I have a table call “Puchases” and another called “Individual Items” I would design an “Input Page” called Purchasing Order where I places the unique informations of the only supplier (Purchase Table) on the top of the page, then select the purchasing date as an Date for ALL “Unique Items” created and then I would creade 10 field to be able to enter 10 Record at the same time. If all info of record #10 input field are empty, no record for this one will be created, if there is at least 1 data field info, it will create it. Bonus : Be able to set a different default value for some field depending on wich “Input Page Designer” Block I am Be able to use it to navigate and see record informations the same way as page designer (I see that as an improvement of Page Designer)

In Interface charts I would like to be able to: Stack line graphs (i.e. turn them into area graphs) Stack line and bar graphs as percentages Plot min, max, mean, and median of a single column all on one chart together

For Interfaces, can we make the comments field fixed at a height and then it scrolls. I’m finding when the comments box gets really long it throws everything out

Instead of click click and click, why not implementing sidebar navigation! Kindly take a look at how fibery.io or monday.com implement their UI navigation!

Using Interfaces, when you bring in a record it will only show a few details in the “card” view, regardless of how wide it is. You should be able to modify the width of each of of those similar to how you can change the width of columns in the normal base so you can view more information at a glance in a view like this. In this example, there is a lot more info we would want to see, but it only shows the first few pieces of data, in this case Order, Year of Release, and Artist

Love the new interfaces feature. It would be great if it were possible to add fields into groups or sections which are visible based on different criteria. For example, I’m using the interfaces feature to input data for different rooms / spaces. If I were to select one out of two rooms, the input boxes for the second room would become invisible.

So, it would be totally awesome if I could link/connect the record in the grid with the actual Block page builder. We have 150+ individual records in this table, and a full page in the Block for each record (with 50+ data points per record). Interacting with the data in the table is not connected to the Block visually…only the data fields. Does this make sense? Please tell me there is already a solution

Hi everyone, Pello here from Moonland. As an Airtable Gold Partner, we've developed some highly advanced tools in Airtable, including comprehensive ERPs and other intricate systems. While Airtable has provided us with a robust platform, there's one enhancement that could significantly elevate the user experience: leveraging bulk selection within Airtable interfaces for automations. What is the proposed idea/solution? The idea is to enable the use of bulk selections, made after applying filters in Airtable interfaces, to trigger automations. Currently, bulk selection in interfaces is limited to native functions like deleting rows. Extending this capability to automations would allow for more seamless and efficient workflows. How does it solve user problems? This enhancement would greatly improve the user experience by eliminating the need for cumbersome workarounds, such as using additional checkboxes, which complicate the UI/UX. With this feature, users could quickly select filtered records and apply automations directly, streamlining processes and saving valuable time. How was this validated? The limitation of the current workaround has been consistently noted by users who require more intuitive and efficient ways to manage bulk data operations. The existing process can be cumbersome and detracts from the overall user experience. By enabling bulk selection for automations, Airtable could offer a much more refined and user-friendly interface. Who is the target audience? This feature would be especially beneficial for users managing large datasets or complex workflows, such as people working in logistics or manufacturing (who use Airtable as an ERP). I’d love to hear your thoughts on this idea. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to create more effective tools. Thanks for taking the time to read this post! Pello
