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.

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? 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? ...

I searched through and couldn’t find anything since February. Can I see revision history for an entire base versus having to go into each record?

I’d love to see an option that scoops out which items of a list are not in use (anymore) and enables me to delete all these options from the list in one click. I’d also like to be able to combine values in the single & multiple select fields. Especially when you have accidentally added a bunch of records and made a typo in the field, which will then have caused a new option to be created. Ideally I’d open up the Customize field type screen, select two or more values and hit a button ‘combine’. I’ve been using the collectorz.com programs to catalogue my books & dvds for years and they have this option available, it’s an option that I highly appreciate and would love to see here, too!

Hi there When you have a workspace with a team you end up with lots of bases and there is no way to organize them into subspaces or folders. Would be nice.

I am really afraid of someone deleting my base. It would be great if bases could be password protected or backed up somewhere else.

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.
