I'd like to suggest that you add the ability to wrap text in the Interface List element, the same way it gets wrapped in the Grid element. I want to use the List element because it's more visually appealing than the Grid, but it's more challenging to see all the information at once, especially for fields where I'm listing multiple linked records.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Make Interfaces available on the iPad How does is solve the user problems? In construction, we use iPads for most of our inspection and statusing. To not have an interface useable on the iPad app is a major barrier to being able to use this in the field. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Anyone who uses Airtable not sitting down

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. ...

It is possible to impersonate a user while building/previewing Interfaces. Unfortunately impersonation is limited to the visibility of records, but doesn't consider the impersonee's permissions. E.g. an admin that impersonates a read-only user can still change the value of a field through an automation triggered by a button. Respecting the impersonee's permissions at least in preview mode would be very helpful for building interfaces.

I've had a few cases where I was using views in the style of a "help desk" and really wanted to see the number of records that needed to be actioned on. It would be nice to have an optional badge count shown for records in a view or in the interface pages, especially for help desk and similar apps where the views and pages are filtered based on the actions needed to be taken.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Let us create custom terms for records in tables in addition to selecting from the predefined list.  How does is solve the user problems? The list provides a great starting point for record names, but too often terms aren't available. For instance, Phone Number isn't an available term, despite having a record field type of Phone Number, and neither is Number. This translates to the interfaces any time an 'Add Record' button appears to a linked record field, which may cause confusion if an intuitive term is not available. This is a relatively small ask (that I do not understand the technical requirements of at all, so please don't misunderstand me) that would go a long way to improve the user experience, especially to those users less tech-savvy than others. How was this validated? Every single time I've searched for a term in the pre-defined list of terms for records, I almost always come up empty. Who is the target audience? Moreso end users unfamiliar with Airtable who see a button to add/create/link records.

What is the proposed idea/solution? A global search bar for Interfaces. This would more than likely be in the form of an interface page but I could see it as a component for a blank interface page. This would pull up results pertaining to keywords with direct links to the records for the available interface pages. How does is solve the user problems? This would allow quick and easy access to various records in one action.

What is the proposed idea/solution? The ability to define a condition for an interface field to be visible How does is solve the user problems? I have a table that includes one record type. However, the table is populated by two different sources that contain different types of information. The current interface page, with all fields visible, looks noisy and can be confusing to internal users. If I had the ability to hide empty fields, it would be a major UI/UX improvement. How was this validated? It has been requested internally by several users. Who is the target audience? Internal company users.
