What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow for 'sort' feature in interface types beyond just the full 'List' type.  Lists are available to add in 'Dashboard' type and when added to 'blank' but no sort function is available.  It would be really nice to also allow users to select columns to show/hide in lists.   How does is solve the user problems? Adds much more customization to each user and their different work styles.  Also makes 'lists' more consistent across interface types.    ... View more

I would like the user to be able to drag the edge of the Side Sheet in the interface to expand them slightly. I could use the full-screen page style, but I do like being able to see the records in the background for quick access to them. Not sure what the limitations of implementing this are. But it is something I instinctively try to reach for every time I open up the side sheet, only to realise the functionality isn't there haha ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? When you add a button to an interface who's action is "Update Record", you can select a user field and set the value to the dynamic data of "Current User", allow for things like a button to approve a record.  You can also set the value of other field types, like a date/datetime.  However, there is no equivalent option to set it to the current time.  Should allow that as it can record the time a button is pressed.  How does is solve the user problems? Makes approval workflow examples, or any other update triggered by a button press, more robust by automatically recording the time it was triggered.  How was this validated? Created a button on a form interface, set to update record, added a date field and you can only set a fixed datetime value not a dynamic one like "Current date/time" Who is the target audience? Anyone using the new forms interface to build record review/approval workflows.  ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? My suggestion is that you make all desktop data views and interfaces phone fields function just like the mobile app so that if you click on it you have the option to choose Call or Text (tel/sms). Workaround is to at least make this work with the Button field, right now the tel: or sms: links do not work with the button in the data views or interfaces, they are just kind greyed out and don't work.  How does is solve the user problems? Most business run on computers not mobile phones. The option to just click a phone # and then choose call or text is an invaluable time saving option. Why do you have a phone number field that does not act like a phone number on a desktop from a data view or interface when it works like this in the airtable mobile app?! Is not one of the most common uses of airtable include CRM /customer data? How can I have a customer contact crm type database/interface that does not have native clickable phone numbers on a desktop PC when the mobile app has it built in? All webpages do this now, all CRMs do this now.  How was this validated? There isn't even a good work around for this!  adding a button with a URL tel: type link does not even work. Who is the target audience? Everyone who uses artable to manage cutomers... ... View more

Personally, I like the default color options (despite the limited number) that are provided for the base/interface appearance color. That said, members on my team really wish we could match the exact color of our base with the primary company brand color. I feel like it wouldn't be too hard to have an 'advance' section under appearance that allowed us to input a HEX number. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Give the user a way to switch the font used to render numeric data. This would allow me to switch to a font that has fixed width numerics so numbers have identical sizes. How does is solve the user problems? In pivot tables, make 100.000 and 111.111 look equally big. Currently the first will look like a huge number. The second will look tiny in comparison. How was this validated? Look at any table with numbers. See that 1 is not treated the same as 8 (width-wise) Who is the target audience? People who like to have a quick-look at a large quantity of numbers and not have to translate the things they see internally. ps. there is no label for User Interface. ... View more

I created an interface that pulls from one table in my Base. With some of the demos I've seen on how interfaces can be used, I thought this would be a great way to display non-sensitive data via a public share link. Other tables in this base, however, do contain PII and cannot be shared with the public. So, after creating a lovely interface that seemed it would do exactly what was desired, I tried to share and found that I can only share with individuals who are signed in and have access to the base. Chat support let me know that the Base's permissions determine the interface's share permissions. In my specific use case, I have a base that shows all the volunteers that work with my organization, including a table for their basic contact info, a table for their engagements with us, a table for touchpoints we have with them, and another table that holds all the categories of expertise for our volunteers. The interface is based on this last table, and is a record review that tallies the number of available volunteers with each area of expertise. The data on that table is fine to share publicly, but not data from the others. Ideally, when building an interface you could choose how to share the individual interface without the whole base being set to public. Anyone with ideas of workarounds, I'm all ears! ... View more

This would make everything a lot easier. What i have in mind is that when creating an automation based on an interface, you would be able to access all data displayed in the interface, not just the record the Automation is connected to. ... View more
