Please consider adding on/off buttons (checkboxes) to the filters to allow users to toggle individual filters on/off. Exhausted from creating/deleting/creating/deleting/creating/deleting/creating/deleting/creating filters 🙂

What is the proposed idea/solution? In the Record List Interface, the search field has to be manually cleared by deleting the text.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Give Admins/Creators the ability to adjust the Search Index(or provide multiple indices?) for a record so that when you are linking another record to it, you can more easily find the record you are looking for. ... How does is solve the user problems? Currently, it only uses the record’s primary key as the search term, which sometimes leads me to create a "Search Terms" (or Label) field (formula-type) as the record Key, concatenating other fields to enhance search-ability. There has to be a better way that doesn’t force hacky behavior like this. ... How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Anyone wanting to streamline record linking ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Create the ability the change the order of tabs in the 'filter' function of Lists in Interfaces. I want to be able to reorder the tabs or at least set the main summary tab as the 'home' tab. How does it solve the user problems? Means users don't load into the wrong list Who is the target audience? Anyone who uses lists in interfaces

What is the proposed idea/solution? To have the ability to filter a certain field type when finding a field. Say, I have 100 columns with different field types and I created a fresh new view. For a clean starting point, I'd hide all fields, leaving me with the first column. Then, I want to unhide certain columns. I'll have to go through my 100 fields to find what I'm looking for or search for the field name on the provided search box. But what if I don't recall the field name but I know what field type it is? What if I know it's a Number or a Lookup? Right now, the best solution is to scroll down and focus on the icons, which is tedious if I have 100 fields. This idea, on the other hand, will make me filter Number, and it will show me fields that are Number types, and I'll easily find what I'm looking for. How does it solve user problems? Adds efficiency to scrolling many fields to find what you're looking for. Not just for hidden views, but finding fields in Filter, Group, Sort, Color, and many others. How was this validated? Add a little dropdown on the right of the search box when finding field for filtering different field types. Who is the target audience? Everyone who uses Airtable.

The default responsive 'card layout' of an embedded view is perfect for mobile phones. However, the big disadvantage is that the search and filter toolbar disappears in this card layout. This makes it basically useless if you have many records in one view (in my case >1500). In theory, I assume this should be a relatively easy fix. Within the Airtable App the function already exist. I know it is possible to tell your browser to load the site in 'desktop mode', but if you use a table with many rows and columns this just doesn't give the right experience on a small screen. I built an advanced product portal using 'embedded views' that show >1500 records. The search and filter possibility enables you to find the exact product you need. The portal even comes with a responsive web app. But this final lack of functionality makes the tool practically useless for mobile phone usage. I know there may be 3'rd party solutions that come close to this functionality, but I just can't stand it that this functionality is missing. The card layout comes so close to being perfect, it just need a responsive search and filter toolbar! Any development in this would be greatly appreciated!!!

What is the proposed idea/solution? Just a way to quickly jump to a specific date in the Calendar view. Could use a similar drop-down menu when selecting the "date" field or even an "enter date" search bar How does solve the user problems? I wouldn't have to rapidly click "decrement/increment current range" to get to the date I'm looking for.

What is the proposed idea/solution? What's existing is that when clicking the + button on a "Link to another record" column, it shows a "search box" and we can find an existing record, but you can only search for the linked record's value. It would be more efficient to be able to find an existing record using its other parameters (maybe the four columns that are shown). In the example image below, if I type "Notes C" or "1335", it should show Item 3. What's currently happening is I should strictly type "3" or "Item 3" to get to that linked record. It's especially inconvenient if it's a lengthy SKU or something like "A Very Long Title Like This and That Vol. 3" when I could use that linked record's other columns to find it. How does it solve user problems? It allows the user to quickly find a linked record through other parameters and makes workflow more efficient. How was this validated? The first four columns on the find field are the linked table's first four columns too, so if the user wants to "customize" the first four columns, they can trigger "Limit record selection to a view" when making that linked record column to use that specific view's first four columns. Who is the target audience? Users who use linked records a lot with multiple useful columns.

I’m guessing this request has already been made by others before, but I couldn’t find it. In almost every table I create, I have to create a “Search” view that I use in place of the existing Search tool in the upper-right corner. About 90% of the time, when I’m searching, I’m looking for something in the name field of the record, so I use this search view to filter for that. Sometimes I choose to filter my search by adding additional filters, such as “Status” or “Type”, etc. I wish that the built-in Search tool worked this way, so I wouldn’t have to create a Search view in every table. Rarely do I want to search every field in every record for a value. I wish I could set the default field that the Search tool searches in, with the option to select other fields or add additional filters. Let me know if anything about this needs further clarification.
