What is the proposed idea/solution? Providing Interface designers with the ability to allow/disallow the visibility of the field "i" tooltip inside Interfaces. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, we are using text blocks in the UI to explain certain field purposes or possible pitfalls of user selections. You can really clean up an interface and reduce user support questions by providing them with the ability to get further information before making a choice at the exact moment in their workflow that it is appropriate. Blocks of text mean to help a user perform functions really make the entire interface too cluttered to use for experienced users. Some users don't use the system very often so they usually completely forget and need this help but. Maintaining two interfaces with different levels of "Info Help" is not a viable option. From an administration standpoint, this allows for already existing documentation to now serve both database designers and end users at the same time. Future leaning thinking also implies that there could be two fields for "Description" - each with a different set of permissions so that admins can leave themselves complex backend notes for themselves and their teams yet provide more simple descriptions for interface front end users. How was this validated? N/A Who is the target audience? Anyone designing interfaces for themselves or others

The organization of bases within a Pro workspace is insufficient. Naming and/or color coding is not enough. As the number of bases increases, you need to archive old data or may wish to logically organize bases into groups (or collections), for the growing volume of bases. Can we please have a better user experience to group bases. Airtable has an existing analogy for this with “sections” that group views. At an account level, we needs similar functionality to group bases. My recommendation is that these be called "collections". This capability would enable workspace administrators to better see and organize their collection of bases.

What is the proposed idea/solution? We would love it if we could automatically set all Bases in a workspace to a single, non-UTC default time zone. It may also be helpful for other users to be able to set individual Bases, or all fields in an individual Table. How does this solve the user problems? For users with many bases, that each have many tables, which each have many fields, it is tedious to fix time zone errors manually. Being able to set a global time zone option would dramatically speed up workflow for anyone who uses Calendar Views that port data in from several different Bases. Who is the target audience? Workspace management end users.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ... A new feature that transposes the Rows and Columns of a View. How does is solve the user problems? ... It is useful to transpose the Rows and Columns of a Table for for viewing and / or calculations. In Airtable it is more efficient to create Records for time rather than Fields (e.g. each Row is a unit of Time like a Week, Month, Quarter, Year, etc. and not the column). The ability to see each unit of Time as a column moving from left to right is standard practice. How was this validated? ...This is a core feature to all spreadsheet applications. Who is the target audience? ...All Users

What is the proposed idea/solution? Have something similar as Monday's "My Work" tab where I can see all tasks assigned to me across all bases. How does is solve the user problems? This would allow me to: easily see my workflow and workload access all tasks assigned to me in different bases in one single location stay on top of my priorities and tasks without having to jump from base to base How was this validated? I am not sure what this means, but there are a number of unanswered records in the community with the question on how to see all of my tasks from different bases in one place. The closest to a solution that is available is a table with multiple sync's from the other bases - but this is manual and requires someone to add the table/view sync everytime a new base/table is created. Who is the target audience? possibly everyone using airtable for: customer management project management workflow Systems with approval processes

What is the proposed idea/solution? Set user seat type via one of the following methods: - SAML attribute - SCIM attribute - mapping to a SCIM group How does is solve the user problems? Currently Seat type needs to be adjusted manually in Airtable Admin Panel. It is not possible to set Seat type via SSO (SAML) nor SCIM. This is documented in this article: https://support.airtable.com/docs/configuring-sso-in-the-admin-panel. It would help us to manage our licenses more efficiently. Who is the target audience? Any company using SCIM to manage users.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Automation monitoring dashboard. It would be wonderful to have a way to see all automations currently in progress (sometimes they can get backed up and you need to click through each one to see if there are any that are jammed up / in-progress), as well as list things like the average speed of each automation, automation runs that have failed, etc, and centrally manage logs and alerts related to automations. How does is solve the user problems? Right now this data is scattered, and it is incredibly cumbersome to manage bases that have more than a few automations. Additionally, error messages are only sent to the last user to edit an automation, making troubleshooting a difficult and opaque process. Who is the target audience? Primarily, Airtable enterprise customers or others who rely extensively on Airtable automations to support powerful workflows.

I need a way to archive the bases. We collect Survey data among other metrics via air table, for a growing company. I know that we could move them to another workspace, but I don't believe that would work since they are currently on the pro plan and would have to be moved over to a workspace on the free plan. We still want to keep the data as is and accessible. If we can't archive is there a way to create folders to separate bases? I would love that, not only to have an archive folder but to better organize my currently used bases as well.

What is the proposed idea/solution? I love using Airtable for work, but find that there are many personal applications as well. Instead of paying $20 a month for a "Team" plan for just myself, which is excessive, I wish there was an "Individual" plan. It would have similar limitations to the free tier, but unlock: 10,000 records per base 2 gb attachment space per base 3 month revision history Expanded color and formatting 1,000 automations per month This would all cost around $5 USD a month How does is solve the user problems? This allows for expanded functionality of Airtable for personal use, capturing a new market segment, while not offering too many features to eat into the sales of "Team" subscriptions. It would help personal organization with more colors, more automations, and more safety from accidental deletions without being excessive like the Team plan How was this validated? This idea has not been validated further than my own use cases and desires. It seems like a reasonable missing pricing tier though that could be a win-win, giving users more functionality while also not adding too much overhead in terms of cost for Airtable Who is the target audience? Individual, personal users

I would find it very useful if there was an embed block that would be kind of similar to the page designer except that instead of printing it would be for embedding it into a website. The use case would be showing records from Airtable in a more customized way that would feel and look more just like a part of the webpage. Say I wanted to show a table with all our employees. Right now it would be via an embed view (which is great) but if I could design it to look and feel just like our website it would be very useful
