What is the proposed idea/solution? The current Interface Designer is great, but it can be a bit difficult to make every field we need visible organize on a blank page that fits our needs. It would be great if there were widgets that allow for the collapsing of a group of fields or organizing them into clickable pages.   How does is solve the user problems? Make it easier to demonstrate steps and phases to projects.  Instead of having every stage laid out on one part. Clicking right or left or collapsing and uncollapsing parts of the record can show different applicable fields. How was this validated? Simply that if one "page" is not completed per guidance set by the creator, one cannot move on to the next phase.  or just organizing field attributes in a box that will allow for page creation. Who is the target audience? Companies that use AirTable to create work flows for employees ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? The proposed solution is to introduce a feature in Airtable's Kanban view that allows users to manually reorder columns when using linked fields, just as they can with single-select fields. This would involve a drag-and-drop functionality where users can click and move columns into their preferred order, rather than having them automatically sorted alphabetically. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, users are limited by the automatic sorting of columns when using linked fields in Kanban view, which can lead to a less intuitive workflow and makes it harder to organize tasks effectively. By allowing manual reordering of columns, users gain the flexibility to arrange their Kanban boards in a way that best fits their workflow and priorities. This would improve the usability of Kanban views, particularly for teams working on complex projects that require customized task organization. How was this validated? The need for this feature has been highlighted by user feedback and the limitations experienced by teams who frequently use linked records in their Kanban views. The idea builds on existing functionality (manual reordering for single-select fields), so it’s a natural extension of a proven feature. While there may not be formal studies validating this specific solution, it is grounded in practical user experience and the need for greater customization in Airtable. Feedback from the Airtable community, including forums and support channels, often reflects a desire for more control over how data is displayed and managed, validating the importance of such a feature. Who is the target audience? The target audience includes Airtable users who rely on Kanban views for project management and task tracking, especially those using linked fields extensively. This feature would benefit teams and individuals looking for more control and customization in their project management processes. It is particularly relevant for users managing complex projects with multiple linked records where the ability to organize columns manually would improve workflow and visibility. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? When you have put multiple Interface elements in a "group", you should be able to move that "group" in 1 go. Now, you have to move 1 element at a time, which means you have to rebuild the group again.  How does is solve the user problems? Time saver! Who is the target audience? Everyone building in Interface   ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Would love if we could add in a personalized onboarding flow for users in the interfaces we're building. Ex. Be able to add in lightboxes that say "What's this?" for new features or if it's the first time someone is opening a base a step by step flow showing what fields are important in the interface. How does is solve the user problems? A lot of user training and documentation has to be created outside of Airtable to help our users understand what is going on in the tool. Looks like an opportunity to Airtable to take part of that documentation process. How was this validated? Personal experience in creating documentation processes and having to screenshot Airtable interfaces to basically do this manually in Miro. Who is the target audience? Interface users and those building interfaces for their organization. ... View more

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. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow a one-click "expand all" or "collapse all" on the Interface's Record Review's Record list sidebar, allowing easier viewing of records without the need to manually collapse/expand them. How does it solve the user problems? Ease and efficiency of use instead of doing it manually. How was this validated? Normal data view can do it, so the interface should be able to do so as well. Who is the target audience? Interface users who use Record Review. ... View more

The two biggest complaints I get from my users on Airtable, especially those coming from Salesforce, is the lack of a Global Search Bar in Interfaces (which I've posted about before here) and the inability for users to create their own reports on Interfaces. I know both these things are available inherently through the Base (Global Search Bar through extensions) but by users are non-technical and should not have access to the entirety of the data on the database so they're interface only. But they should have the ability to create, save and download their own views in Interfaces! I can see how this is an oversight from Airtable devs because that's kind of the whole point of the database but Interfaces has changed the way the bulk of Airtable users actually use Airtable. I've created great dashboards using the dashboard interface page type and that answers the bulk of reporting needs but certainly not everything and I need the ability to allow Interface users to create their own views (with the ability to set field visibility, filters, etc in the back end on the data the front end users see). The attached image is the result of a touch of creativity. I've linked shared views to buttons, titled with the table they're tied to. I've removed irrelevant data from that shared view. But this is what I mean- this can't be the best way to allow users to create their own views if the users only have interface access. ... View more

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. ...
