CSV downloads are available for the ‘List’ type of interface but not on lists within the dashboard type. It would be great to allow csv downloads from a list contained on dashboards. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? When using Group Overview in Interface Timeline view, I want the option to only show the Group Overview bar as an intermittent bar that only appears over events, so that I can collapse all group swimlanes and still see where the activity is (and isn't) in each Group. Right now, it spans from the earliest event to the latest event, even if there are no active events in between. I attached a mockup. How does this solve the user problems? ... I use Timeline to plan projects, with each Group representing a team. With very complicated Timelines with lots of activity, this would allow me to collapse all groups/teams to create a more condensed, simplified view, but still see when certain Groups/Teams are active vs inactive. How was this validated? ... Don't know what this question means. Who is the target audience? Project Managers and project members who use the Timeline view. ... View more

It appears that interface dashboard charts now allow you to put additional y-axis data (side by side bar charts), however, if you add a second data, the ability to 'show record count on charts' goes away as an option.  I would like to keep this option even when using the multiple data on y-axis.   It would also be great to have record counts for 'breakdown' data.  See attached for example.  ...

For lookup fields, it would be nice to have the option to cascade / inherit field descriptions from the table the data is coming from.  This helps nudge us towards single source of truth by: increasing the readability and intuitiveness of our bases and interfaces ('descriptions everywhere'); reducing the burden of managing that description (no longer have to cascade the description everywhere it is referenced); and eliminating the need for users to 'go somewhere else' to get their info (e.g. 'start a draft record in the other form so the info pops up', or a flat user manual that is decoupled from the application) It will need to be optional / opt-in so it doesn't break the behaviours of existing bases. This will also bring us closer to [the broader idea of] distinctly managing our bases' data dictionary as part of the core offering.   ... View more

Please allow for field validation (esp. numbers).  If not in the base, then at least in the interface.  For example, we may wish to limit numbers in a field from 0 to 10.    ... View more

Not all the functionalities of charts starting from a blank Interface page are available for charts on dashboard pages. One feature I have been missing is the "group by" option under y-axis for a Bar Chart that allows for categorization of the plotted data. It would be great if this could be added to charts on Interfaces! I have been impressed by some of the power and features enabled in "dashboard" interfaces (pivot tables, easily clicking on a chart to view underlying records, etc.) but then frustrated when some of the previous functionality from charts on a blank interface page isn't available (adding group by in plotting, editing underlying records, etc.). ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Feature: A button to run custom logic and navigate the user in the Interface. Example: A button attached to a record view that when clicked does the following:  Updates a field on the current record (e.g., update the "work request" (table) status field from "under review" to "approved") Create a new record in a related table (e.g., work orders), populated with any necessary data from the source record in step 1.  Navigate the user to the newly generated record, or a different page on the Interface.  How does is solve the user problems? This feature would allow for more complex UI/UX workflows and make Airtable a more powerful app-building tool with the Interface feature. Buttons or other UI components that could have logic attached could run logic to mutate data in tables before navigating and updating the UI.  Given that buttons can navigate users around the Interface, it seems like a useful feature would be to have some "middleware" logic run when there are button induced navigations. I wonder if this could be done by adding a "Navigate to Interface Page" action to automations or adding a "Run Script then Navigate" to the button actions options.  How was this validated? I am building a "computerized maintenance and management system (CMMS)" for my organization and wanted to develop a nice intuitive UI/UX for my staff, especially those that are not tech savvy. I also confirmed that it is not currently possible to replicate this UX with the current options in the Interface builder and Automations.  Who is the target audience? Airtable power users and app developers who are trying to leverage Airtable as a low-code app building platform. I am waffling between Airtable's Interface and using something like Glide, which offers navigation actions in their UI builder.   ... ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Interface Filters are rigidly half-width and the filter-by field is so tiny I can't read what it is, making it impossible to use at a glance. Especially with multiple filters that start the same way. Make it dynamically expand to be full-width if desired. How does is solve the user problems? My team would be able to read what they're filtering by without hovering over each filter every time. Who is the target audience? Anyone using interface filters with fields that are more than a single word. ... View more

On most visualization/charting software, displaying a value offers many more options, including to include the counts of any 'groupings' .  I have attached an example of what I mean.  Charts need more display options in general (e.g. on pie chart, show count and % together as label, etc.) which are common in charing on excel or in other BI programs (e.g. Tablau).  ...
