I have multiple bases in a workspace and some of them are related, even having synced tables, and other have nothing to do with the others around them. Folders would help organize my workspace.

It would be nice to optionally enable Clean URLs for Airtable pages. Currently, Airtable urls are basically a random string of characters that give no information on what is at the url. So if I shared an Airtable link with someone, instead of seeing something like https://airtable.com/appdfvokijweroiwdroikj/tbldfvolkfgvlmkvblk/viweiociokjwefn and have no information on what they are about to click on, it would be something like https://mycompany.airtable.com/my-awesome-base/my-great-table/grid-view

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...User is able to select multiple Views. Any changes applied to the first selected View are applied to the other selected Views (e.g. Column Width, Column Order, "Hide fields", "Filter", "Group", "Sort", "Color", "Row Height") How does is solve the user problems? ...Currently the process is manual for each View. This can be extremely time consuming and prone to human error, that can affect Synced Tables. Who is the target audience? ...Users who have more than one View per Table, especially users with a large number of Views per Table.

I would love to see a detailed change log by Airtable where everything that is added or changed gets documented. Everything. Things get changed, added and improved constantly. Often small and helpful things (that I need) which go unnoticed for quite some time because they are not communicated. I would consult such a change log page every morning before I start my work to see what exactly is new. It could be an improved version of the existing "What's new" page but with every detail, not only three changes per month often published way after the fact. That page is already fed by an Airtable app. So it would be extremely low effort to plug every development team into that tool to communicate changes as soon as they are rolled out.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Make workspace / base owner able to delete comments on records made by other users. How does is solve the user problems? As base manager (owner), I would appreciate the possibility to remove comments made by others on records without asking each person to delete their own comments. Some of them, furthermore, are not on the team anymore (no more access to base). How was this validated? It wasn't, was it? https://community.airtable.com/t5/other-questions/delete-comments-made-by-other-users/td-p/143650 Who is the target audience? Workspace / base owners.

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.

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.

What is the proposed idea/solution? From the Admin panel, to have an option that disabled everyone that is not an admin from creating new Workspaces. How does is solve the user problems? The issue is that users in our organization create new workspaces, and this turns them into Owners automatically. Then, they are enabled to share access and provision higher licenses to other users, changing our billing. We have documented this issue internally, but our company has hundreds of users on Airtable. Employees join and leave the organization every month, meaning that it becomes unviable to rely merely on internal training. The tool needs to enable admins to protect the billing cycle. How was this validated? We see the issue every other month. Who is the target audience? Enterprise accounts

What is the proposed idea/solution? Price per user rather than per Workspace - Or allow better organization, folders, etc within a Workspace. We pay more per user on a Pro plan than we do for our CRM. Yet if we want to collaborate with external parties we need to move the base to a free workspace due to the sharing limitations. We are a small company and purchased pro for everyone - yet it is becoming a mess. We cannot even segment visibility of bases within the workspace from some users, since everyone needs to be a pro for that workspace. Enterprise is outlandishly expensive for small organizations. We are willing to pay for the service, but the limits even on a pro plan are limiting our use and commitment to the product. How does is solve the user problems? ... How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? An extra Action for the Button Field inside a table (not in the interface), where we can select "Run an Automation" How does is solve the user problems? At the moment there is no direct way to run a simple automation from a button field. it only works on buttons in interfaces. How was this validated? The press of the button should also "pass" the record ID to the automation, so any automation ran can use the record ID to specifically work on a record. Who is the target audience? This is useful for everybody who wants to use the button field in day to day simple operations.
