Interface List: remove "Add Record" for lower levels in the blue "+" button

Jens · ‎Jan 10, 2024

Remove the possibility to add records with the blue +-button for lower levels The blue "+" button does NOT make any sense for lower levels, as the record will disappear and will not be added to a higher level. It only makes sense to add a record to the top level by means of the blue button. For lower records, you have the "+Add record" button on the right hand side. Why is the change necessary: usability, ease of use, no frustration for user (cause record will not disappear)

What is the proposed idea/solution? In an interface timeline view, the user can chose to change the timescale (from days to 5 years). So far so good. However, very often you do not want the user to be able to change the timescale. Why? Because you set your planning to be done daily, weekly or monthly. E.g. if you do it monthly, a daily view just does not make sense and confuses the user. I.e. the interface builder must be able to chose if their user is allowed to change the timescale (i.e. the user must be able to toggle it on or off). How does is solve the user problems? The interface will be loved better as there will be no confusion for the user. How was this validated? By many users that are confused. Who is the target audience? All user that work with timeline, e.g. resource planning companies, project management companies from all different kind of industries.

Hi, We're using Airtable to progress job cards via a Kanban system with assignee (staff member) as the single select field and task as the record. Unfortunately it only shows the assignee stacks that contain records. i.e. the staff that have tasks. If a staff member has no task, their empty stack is not visible. This makes reallocating tasks to someone without an existing task in kanban view impossible. It would be great to have an option to select which assignee (staff member) stacks were visible including those with no records in their stack.

We use Confluence regularly and can embed AT views into our pages. However, we would like to do the same with our interfaces as it makes digesting content easier. Do you think this can be a feature in 2024?

I manage one base with two interfaces for my company. One is the Team interface everyone has access to and the other is a Management interface where only management has access to. The Team interface undergoes the most evolution and it's nearly impossible for me to keep open record panels consistent across both interfaces. Frankly, I find it ridiculous you can't copy open record panels from another interface that shares the same base but that's another point entirely. Ideally, I would like consolidate both interfaces into the Team interface and the Management pages have a password protection feature that prompts you to fill in a password (one singular password specified in the interface editor - no need for separate user passwords) before permitting access to the page. The current system makes it difficult to scale and retain consistency across multiple interfaces and I feel like this would be a simple solution with a big impact on permissions.

What is the proposed idea/solution? The add the ability to group pages on the left nav panel without needing to stick them into different interfaces. How does is solve the user problems? Once an interface has beyond 8 pages, it is too large on the left nav bar and pages need to be grouped. Grouping pages allows users to create a much better an organized user experience. Note that this grouping is currently possible by putting pages into separate interfaces, however this causes other problems since record details pages cannot be shared between interfaces (and cannot be deleted), making it extremely difficult to manage syncing record details pages between interfaces. Who is the target audience? Interface users.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow the same "record detail page" to be used across multiple interfaces How does is solve the user problems? Currently a designed "record detail page" is restricted to ONE interface. However, since we can incorporate multiple interfaces across one app (via the left nav bar navigation in interfaces), it is common to need to access the same record from a different interface. Currently you have to rebuild the the record detail page for every interface that it's data is used in. (We currently have 4 interfaces, so we have to duplicate 4 times). Not only that, every time we make a change we have to change it in 4 places. ALTERNATE SOLUTION The add the ability to group pages on the left nav panel without needing to stick them into different interfaces. How was this validated? At my company we've probably wasted 200 hours trying to keep our record details pages in sync, Who is the target audience? Interface app builders

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow us to select a timezone for datetime fields that only show a date. How does this solve the user problems? There is currenly a disconnect between Interface date filters (ie. filter Where {Date Field} is Today) which will filter based on a local timezone, but inside the base, the date-only field is GMT. So, the interface will filter based on local timezone, but records in the base will be GMT-based dates, and will be filtered out, even if the date is the same as the local timezone. How was this validated? By beating my head into the brick-wall that is Date-based filters Who is the target audience? Anyone who uses the filter based on 'Today'.

in the interface you have to find a solution for the duplicates either by adding a new record (at the form level) or at the interface level in the form of a table it is necessary to distinguish the duplicates

What is the proposed idea/solution? The proposed solution is to enable interface creators in Airtable to add images to an interface during the design process. This feature would allow the inclusion of static imagery, such as logos, background images, instructional graphics, or decorative elements, directly into the layout of Airtable Interfaces. The aim is to enhance the aesthetic appeal and instructional clarity of these interfaces. How does it solve the user problems? This feature addresses the need for more visually engaging and informative interfaces. By allowing creators to add relevant images, it makes interfaces more intuitive and tailored to specific use cases. For instance, a logo can reinforce branding, instructional images can guide users through complex datasets, and decorative elements can improve the overall user experience, making data interaction more enjoyable and efficient. How is this validated? Validation for this feature can come from user feedback, requests, and the observed trends in interface design across other platforms. Users who seek to create more personalized and visually appealing interfaces often express the need for such capabilities. Additionally, benchmarking against other data management tools that offer advanced interface customisation options, including imagery, can further validate the need and effectiveness of this feature.
