What is the proposed idea/solution? Hide the large image/space in an interface when no records match a view's filters. Currently when there are no records, it actually takes up much more visual space than if there is one matching record.   How does is solve the user problems? Hiding or condensing this visual would make it much easier for users/clients/readers to scroll a page quickly and see relevant information ... View more

Our team really needs the ability to group fields together and visually display those groups, similar to adding an extra header row in Excel (example below). Benefits: Enhanced Visual Clarity: This feature will provide an improved visual understanding of the relationship between different fields, eliminating the need for users to check each field's description separately. Improved Organization: This feature will allow users to categorize and group related fields together, enhancing the data's structure and making it easier to navigate and understand. Personalization: By allowing users to change the color and title of the group, the feature adds a layer of personalization, making the data representation more intuitive and user-specific. Use Case Examples: Project Management: In a project management base, fields can be grouped together based on different project stages, team responsibilities, etc., enhancing the understanding of project flow and status. CRM: In a CRM base, fields can be grouped by customer details, interaction history, deal status, etc., providing a better overview of customer relationships. HR Management: In an HR base, fields can be grouped into "Applicant Details" and "Interview Status", making it easier to track the recruitment process. Event Planning: In an event planning base, fields can be grouped by event details, participant information, logistics, etc., enhancing the event management process. This feature, with its focus on improving visual understanding and data organization, aligns with Airtable's commitment to making data management more intuitive and user-friendly. Requirements Ability to create groups of related fields. Ability to assign individual fields to these groups. Ability to distinguish each group visually in both List and Grid views. Ability to display the name of the group in a master header above the respective grouped fields. Ability to personalize the appearance of these groups. Ability to change the color of a group. Ability to change the title of a group. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? for better accessibility -  please label the colours with text - when hovering over in the base design How does is solve the user problems? 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women have some form of colour blindness - or colour visual deficiency.  This means that distinguishing many of the colours in airtable is difficult.  Giving bases different colours is great as this is both a visual cue when you use multiple bases and interfaces - and in communicating with the teams that use them - however when some users aren't clear which colour is which (I am one and i develop tools heavily in the platform) it causes needless friction - for what should be a quick fix How was this validated? please see standard accessibility guidelines for using colours and ensuring those with sight problems can see the tools effectively. Who is the target audience? all users and all users with colour blindness - e.g. disabled providing greater accessibility.   ... 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

I often find myself needing to incorporate data from various databases into a single interface. While synchronizing data is an option, it often leads to cluttered databases filled with syncs that serve no other purpose than to support the interface. The goal of interfaces in Airtable is to offer an experience akin to using an app: seamless and integrated. However, the inability to draw data directly from multiple databases undermines this objective. The need to create multiple interfaces or syncs detracts from the system's cohesiveness. Furthermore, enhancing the left pane navigation with additional layering options would be highly beneficial. It would complement the capability to integrate data from various sources, further improving the system's functionality and user experience. ... View more

Some interfaces are made for data entry that requires copying a lot of items, and it would be absolutely helpful to have a little Copy to clipboard button instead of highlighting text and copying multiple times. This is especially helpful if: it's a link or an email—this feature will avoid accidentally clicking on them if done manually it's an editable field that usually requires copying than editing—this feature will avoid mistakenly editing the entry As my suggestion title implies, this is a toggle, allowing Interface designers to show or hide this option. It can also show up when hovered. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Would be nice to have the ability to include images directly to the interface, let's say I'm building a client portal, and I want some kind of design on it, perhaps a large banner to say hello to my client portal interface, or perhaps to separate a section with a small image that says Files or archives, to have buttons that guide to documents attached or linked to that certain user... How does is solve the user problems? Allowing more personalisation within the interface panel, right now is a tad limited from the design perspective, I',m wishing to use it on a daily basis with my clients :)!... How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? people that want to make the interface for their clients better looking 🙂 ... View more

Just to ensure I'm using the jargon correctly, I believe an 'Interface' is a groups of 'Pages' -- with that out of the way, I wonder if it would be relatively 'low hanging fruit' to offer the ability to move a Page to another Interface within the same Base? Why would you want to do this? The Enterprise plan has granular permissions that control which Interfaces can be accessed by which users/groups. A Page in an interface might be useful to multiple groups, but that doesn't mean I want multiple groups to have access to the entire Interface. This results in having to re-create Pages in different Interfaces that have the appropriate permission settings. A function to move a Page to a different Interface (within the same Base of course) would be a significant 'quality of life' improvement and time-saver in this situation. It could live in the page's '...' menu (see screenshot) ... View more

I’m loving the new Interface Designer! I’m seeing a lot of overlap between that and the older Page Designer, but there are some features I’d love to see ported over. Specifically, I love how Page Designer has the ability to create a text box with {Fields} that you can {Put In Brackets} to fill in the blanks. I see that Interface has the ability to add a text box, but no way to for the content to be dynamic. I also love the ability in Page Designer to add an attached image and change how it’s cropped or resized to fit a certain dimension. It looks like Interface crops images without an option to scale to fit. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Interface Designer! I didn’t even know how much I would want this until I saw it. I know my team is going to find it really useful! ... View more
