Hello! The search bar in the "Data" section of Airtable should not only function as a search tool but also as a filter, similar to how it is already possible in interface tables. Users could access relevant records faster without having to switch between filters that don't consider all records and cannot be deactivated. Not having to set up the filters again each time would save a significant amount of time. Such a filter function already exists in interface tables and would offer more flexible search and filter options. The irrelevant records still show up, while all relevant ones aren't hidden:

What is the proposed idea/solution? Airtable base needs a special table (or method) for adding and managing data related to collaborators. I mean this by team members. How does is solve the user problems? Think that you're tracking work hours of your team and everyone can go and add their own hours via interface or something else. Now you should be able to add "global" data related to who has done the record (or marked as collaborator to that data). For example hourly salary, work hours etc. Sky is the limit really. It would replace the "normal" way employees/users are "meant" to be done now. Being able to link that data to collaborator in base level would solve many issues with data linking and keeping them organized. Also it then should be possible to lookup and rollup data based on linked collaborator(s). So basically the "collaborator" field would be just a special kind of link to another record and every base would have this one special table just for them. Or something similar. Who is the target audience? Everybody who use collaborator field.

I would like to copy filters from multiple views and combine them in one single view. I'm getting to the point where one view has what I need and I want to compare it with another view. The current solution is to hire an engineer to write a script or painstakingly rebuild one filter onto an existing one. I've seen this idea before and will hope a new 'request' will resurface the need for more reusable functionality around filters.

I think a key missing feature is the ability to embed items into an interface. I think this could take one of two (or both) forms. 1. A field that functions kind of like a "document" field. You insert an embed link. When viewed in a base, or in a grid/list view, it just shows as a preview - But when viewed in a record details pane - it translates to a custom sizable-embedded page. Each record's embedded view is based on the link in the field - just like the Button field type. 2. A "hard-coded" form - kind of like the difference between the "button field type" and the buttons you can set up in an interface. In the from-scratch interface builder - there would be a new element type called "Embed" where you could manual populate to with whatever embedded link needed. For example a google doc - or a news feed, etc. This by itself would accomplish half of the ideas that users have been putting forward for new automation triggers and integrations.

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.

What is the proposed idea/solution? When presented with an SSO/SAML Error, in the UI, offer a re-direct or place a link to https://airtable.com/forgot as this may solve the issue. Presently, there is very little done to help remediate the issue on the users' side. ... How does this solve the user problems? Users may receive SSO/SAML errors even when Single Sign On is not-in-use. ... How was this validated? It worked for multiple users who had SSO/SIML errors when logging in in an org that did not utilize SSO. ... Who is the target audience? All users, as an issue that can fixed with a password reset is an issue that can fixed without escalating. ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? True emailing and calling functionality. The ability to send and receive emails and make and receive calls within airtable and have them log to the record or even multiple records. Preferably the user would be able to choose from popular third party email and phone providers that would integrate in. How does is solve the user problems? To my mind, with this feature, airtable now becomes a real alternative to CRM systems, helpdesk/ticketing systems, etc. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Really anyone using airtable. The most popular CRMs and other systems are starting to feel old and tired. People WANT to use airtable for more and more things, but until there are true communication features built in, it's hard to do so.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ... The new Rescheduling Logic is a great, and very welcomed addition. To further improve it's use, it would be very helpful to have a 'Hybrid" that would operate as it does with Flexible Logic when you have overlaps, but if a Overlap would not be created, operate as it does with the Fixed Logic. In additional, the Ability to "Pin" a record to a date that is immoveable would be very handy. How does is solve the user problems? ... Currently, the scheduling is inefficient when Using Flexible if a predecessor finishes early, all of my successors do not adjust to show that they can start earlier - it leaves large gaps. If I use Fixed Logic, and a Middle of the chain task needs to move Later, it will adjust the predecessor, because of the buffer setting. How was this validated? ... I can show you. It's a simple base setup. Who is the target audience? ...Project manager and Producers
