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 org chart extension is a great tool to visualise a tree of records where there is a parent/child relationship implemented using a linked field to a record of the same type. However, the extension isn't easy to integrate into an interface and there is no good way for an end user to choose which group of records should be visualised. How does is solve the user problems? Adding the visualisation to interface designer integrates this data view into interfaces and could provide the end user some control over what records are displayed in the visualisation

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.

It would be great to be able to embed a webpage into an interface. This would be a great new addition!

Just as @Sean_Murphy1 asked here, the ability to have conditional data in interfaces. Sean's Example: if you’re tracking network outages you might use one field to specify that the cause is a power outage, in which case you would want other fields to appear that let you specify when the power outage started and ended (so you can track UPS runtime when the power goes out, and site recovery time when it comes back.) My example: the attached has an "answer type" field but I still have to have all available fields (currency, text, number, etc) for the view to work with all the data types. If I could add conditions to fields (IF Answer Type CONTAINS Text, show Text Answer), only the needed fields would show and it make for a much cleaner user experience.

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.

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? 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.

It would be great if there was an option to allow for CSV imports within interfaces. 2 potential use cases are: The ability to upload CSV's in a list view that adds new records to the list The ability to upload CSV's in a Record Detail View that would automatically add child records to a list/linked record field I'm sure there are plenty more scenarios but these are the 2 I'm currently facing.

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.
