Hi, I would like to have the option to show the page design in the Interface sections. We use a lot of documents that are made with the page designer. We now need to load the data and then locate the extension. With my colleagues working with the interfaces it would be fantastic to have the possibility to print the selected record as the page designed with the page designer. Hopefully you can help me out with this. Thank you for the reply in advance!

What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be great to have the option to render a map as a component of Interfaces, similar to the Map extension on the case. How does it solve the user's problems? It's a really graphic way to visualize location-based data

List views within interfaces, and List page layouts do not support/show the sum of values of a given field (e.g. number, currency, etc). However, this is actually supported for grid views. -see comparison in image below. Even if something similar can be achieved using different workarounds as mentioned by @ScottWorld and @ATSolutionist in this other post submitted by @Scott_Brasted, a native out of the box solution seems completely needed.

It would be really helpful if read-only viewers of public interface pages had the option of exporting grid-view content to a CSV (preferably matching their filtering and sorting). Currently (Feb 2025) the export to CSV option is only available to org members who are assigned to the interface and logged into Airtable. The option shouldn't be enabled by default, but we should have the choice to enable this if we want to. In our use case, we want external / public users — without Airtable access — to be able to view a simple price list and download it as a CSV.

I would be great if we could add buttons or links at the top of an interface sidesheets/full sheet record detail view to 'jump' to groups within the sheet. For record details sheets that are pretty long, this would be useful.

I tend to use the Tab filters a lot for ease of jumping between project types & clients and it would be great if I didn't have to recreate my preferred list of tabs each time / duplicate the view Thanks!

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allowing forms to create NEW linked records, rather than only allowing to select from a list of already existing linked records. In other words, the ability for a form to have its Parent form submission, and one or multiple Child form submissions (for the linked records). See Fillout's solution as an example. Dummy scenario: If I want to submit information for a Family (Family table) and for the members of the Family (Members table) which can be one or multiple, I would not be able to do this from only one Airtable Form. I would need to submit one form for the Family information, and separate forms for each Member. How does is solve the user problems? Would avoid having to integrate different softwares, build dirty automations, or handling re-directs, just for the sake of creating linked records. How was this validated? This issue comes up with plenty of my clients, multiple questions have been asked on the Community on how to handle this, and it has been a topic of discussion with fellow builders and consultants. However, I'm not sure whether it has been actually submitted as a "New Idea"/Feature Request (if it was already, I'm super sorry -however it might be useful to bring it up again!). Basically, Airtable forms do not allow to create NEW linked records from the form itself (i.e. we can currently only select from a dropdown of already existing linked records). There are obviously several different workarounds such as: (i) using other form softwares (e.g. Fillout which I really love, but is still a pain to need additional integration just for this); (ii) handling the creation of new linked fields from interfaces rather than forms (i.e. would mean treating the interface itself as a pseudo form); (iii) having temporary fields on the main table which are only used to push data via an automation for the creation of the linked field (super dirty solution which I would almost never recommend); and (iv) others. However, all of those solutions are far from ideal. Who is the target audience? Airtable users who need to capture information via forms for a base with multiple linked tables (I'd say almost every Airtable user). Thanks!!

After taking a 9-month hiatus from airtable (AT) and working solely in Adobe Suite and web design tools like Figma and Wix, coming back to this tool has made me wish for the ability to manipulate design elements. I appreciate and see the case for presenting templated designs for some users, but for the user who wants to create bespoke designs using (typography, colors, containers) for clients, it's essentially impossible to do in the current interface designer. I hear some power users use AT as a headless management system and then use other frontend systems on top, which is a possibility! My use case requires we only leverage Airtable and no additional systems. Curious if this is on the roadmap, and if other users have any creative tricks they use in interface designer.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Give List views that are on blank interface pages along side other elements the full functionality (Tabs and dropdowns) How does is solve the user problems? Much better interactivity when displaying lots of information on one page How was this validated? Personally unable to build the data analysis and planning tool I wish to without this Who is the target audience? Builders, data analysts, executive tier viewers

What is the proposed idea/solution? I would like to share an interface with a person that hasn't an Airtable account. How does is solve the user problems? In this way people without an account could see only that interface (not the base) through a link. Who is the target audience? All people that work with external customers. A lot of people commented about this idea here: https://community.airtable.com/t5/interface-designer/how-show-an-interface-without-airtable-account/m-p/144399/highlight/true#M1257
