I tend to review my customers Automation History in batches. Once I review the run history, fix any errors or bugs and apply any Automation and Script enhancements, I'd then like the ability to "clear" the history. Not necessarily delete the history, but just hide or archive the history. This is the history of just one Automation, but I manage dozens, and having an ability to hide previously executed runs would be very useful.

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.

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.

I would like to be able to add a field that includes attributes of the collaborators entered within a "user" or "created by" or "last modified by" type of field. For example if George is entered as a collaborator in a field in table X of base Y and George belongs to a user admin group called "Sales" I would like to look up the user group George belongs to and automatically show it in another field of the same entry in table X of base Y.

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

SMS 2FA is not secure: https://securityboulevard.com/2021/12/why-using-sms-authentication-for-2fa-is-not-secure/ https://www.cnet.com/news/privacy/do-you-use-sms-for-two-factor-authentication-heres-why-you-shouldnt/ https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/work-life/is-it-ok-to-use-text-messages-for-2-factor-authentication-ask-zdnet/ https://www.issms2fasecure.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_o1C-uvge8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWnadwlI5xA https://cybernews.com/security/why-you-should-stop-using-sms-for-two-factor-authentication/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2020/10/11/apple-iphone-imessage-and-android-messages-sms-passcode-security-update/?sh=762dfb812ede How does is solve the user problems? Makes them more secure. I assume AirTable doesn't want to be the next company that got hacked or that allowed its users to be hacked easily? How was this validated? This should be your number one priority. Who is the target audience? All existing and future AirTable users. Thank you!

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.

We have a lot of bases in our workspace it would be great if workspaces supported groups. So you could group your bases in the same workspace.

In addition to collaborative, personal, and locked views, add private view and/or the ability to create bases that teammates would not be able to see.

Hello. I 've noticed the addition of new button-style shortcuts. Each time you press New Form, or New Grid…it creates a NEW base. this is so confusing and extremely waste of precious space. Why someone who can easily add a new base, to have these buttons on the top, which do something very very very specific. If anyone has found usability on this layout, please share with us
