What is the proposed idea/solution? Our interfaces are growing ever more complex, longer and more difficult to handle. Two things that would make life much easier: Being able to create sections (visual containers) that can be collappsed and unfolded. Conditional visibility of these sections and individual fields (like in forms) How does is solve the user problems? This would help us to only show the fields and sections needed for specific cases or situations based on conditions that we can define, similar to conditional fields in forms.

Hello, I'd like to suggest that you freeze the header row in the Interface list element! I prefer to use the list over the grid because it's more visually appealing, but when you're scrolling through a long list it would be helpful to still see the header row like you can with the grid element.

I would love to see a detailed change log by Airtable where everything that is added or changed gets documented. Everything. Things get changed, added and improved constantly. Often small and helpful things (that I need) which go unnoticed for quite some time because they are not communicated. I would consult such a change log page every morning before I start my work to see what exactly is new. It could be an improved version of the existing "What's new" page but with every detail, not only three changes per month often published way after the fact. That page is already fed by an Airtable app. So it would be extremely low effort to plug every development team into that tool to communicate changes as soon as they are rolled out.

To whom it may concern, An enhancement suggestion from Kalypso: In Interfaces, add more background color options and allow adding background color to single elements including list views, Grid, views, etc. that are not grouped with other elements. Alternatively or additionally, enable full background color capabilities that all elements sit on top of Expected Benefits: Improved aesthetics for Interfaces. Please consider adding this capability. Regards, Jason Knighten

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add the ability to embed a custom image into a dashboard. Add the ability to embed a custom image into an interface. Add the ability to add a custom image to a base instead of the base name. How does is solve the user problems? Adds in branding and personalization for the company/ team using Airtable. Allows teams to recognize the base they are in if they are dealing with more than one company/ team. How was this validated? I am not sure how to answer this. Who is the target audience? All companies, business, teams who want to further personalize their Airtable experience. If someone like myself deals with multiple teams, I want to be sure I am providing a dashboard that reflects the teams branding instead of just choosing a color that closely resembles the branding.

What is the proposed idea/solution? This idea proposes more dynamic options for scaling, rotating or providing 'hovering information' for text in Field Headings so they are readable when columns are narrow in Grid View and List Views. Currently text very easily becomes truncated and unreadable. Row height helps with field contents but not Field Headings. Hovering only works if there is a Description in the Field. Note: this idea is essentially requesting behavior that you see in most spreadsheet programs. Here is a typical Grid view... When you shrink the columns it looks like this which is too easily truncated and unreadable... Proposed Idea A: Enable hovering context information for all text whether there is a Description in the Field or not. If there is a Field Description it would be displayed underneath the Field Name in the floating context window. Proposed Idea B: Field Names can be rotated (similar to spreadsheets). Maybe 45 and 90 (as shown below) Field Names and all other text scales down to ~6 point before it begins truncating. Like the 'In Progress' text below Overall make the margins in all fields super tight. Field Row Height can be changed so the text wraps and stacks. (Not shown below but you get the idea) ... How does is solve the user problems? Keeps information readable when trying to conserve screen real-estate. ... How was this validated? Not validated yet. ... Who is the target audience? Creators who are trying to show as much information as possible on the screen while keeping information readable. ...

Easy, I have a lot of columns and it would be great that we could freeze panes so I don't have to be scrolling back and forth! Also I love how the base and other areas say how many records there are in that window, it would be great if that option would be on the list layout and last but not least, I love to have buttons like "New Form Here" for X reason, it would be great to be able to add buttons on list layout. Thanks!!

Seems like a no-brainer to me: It would be incredibly helpful to have an auto-generated legend for interfaces that shows users what the colors represent in the view. As it is now, the coloring helps to visually provide some differences but doesn't contain any usable information unless you can easily recall what 6 or 7 different colors mean. I think this would benefit most users! Bonus points for adding a color palette that is friendly for users with color vision issues.

We have an interface for our project management Airtable base, which shows project data filtered by a record list. As our base grows, the page has grown with it and is quite long, split into useful sections. I would like a way to hyperlink to different sections within the interface, like using div IDs and # hyperlinks in html. This could tie in to a standard button, as currently used for navigation to external URLs.

(this is implemented, see paul-morrill's comment below!) I would like to request a collapse all/expand all button in the List Interface. This feature would improve user experience by allowing easier navigation through large datasets, as having numerous expanded higher-level records can lead to excessive scrolling. A collapse all/expand all button would streamline the List interface, enabling users to efficiently manage their data and enhance productivity. Thanks for your consideration!
