What is the proposed idea/solution? I would like to see the added options within a Grid View (and also in Interfaces) of the ability to manipulate the order of Linked Records within a Link field. Options including; Sort Records by an associated View within the Linked Table. Sort Records by one or many lookup fields within the Linked Table (such as a date, number, string etc). Sort Records as per their originally linked stack order, but also add a reverse stack option to show the recently added records either first or last. A toggle option that turns off all sort and leaves the current behaviour as is, allowing the user to manually sort records into any random order they desire. If the user toggles a sort on, and then off again, their desired manual sort order returns (and is not lost). How does is solve the user problems? A user can employ a Scripting Extension script or an Automation script action to execute upon their Link Field being updated, where their script applies the desired sort order to the records within the field - but such a workaround is rigid and out of reach of most common users. I believe that having Link Field sort options as part of the Airtable UI would be a widely accepted and used feature. Who is the target audience? Anyone using a Link Field who finds the need to apply order to those linked records within that Link Field.

I've had a few cases where I was using views in the style of a "help desk" and really wanted to see the number of records that needed to be actioned on. It would be nice to have an optional badge count shown for records in a view or in the interface pages, especially for help desk and similar apps where the views and pages are filtered based on the actions needed to be taken.

We need a 'Conditional Select' type field to add to forms. This type of single select and multi select question would conditionally disable and 'grey-out' specific options in select questions on forms. It doesn't seem currently possible to do this. There would be many use cases for this. My particular one is that I have a form for view only users to update certain fields in a database for a not for profit or charity music school recording students and musical instruments loaned to them. We need to prevent students resigning but not handing instruments back. The first single select question on the form is "What do you want to do?" which hides/shows various fields on the same form. One of the options is to resign a student. If that student is still holding an instrument, (ie. {instrument ID} is not blank) It should not be selectable, but should still be visible, greyed out so that the user can see they are in the right place and its clear they cannot select that option. An important feature of the proposed conditional select field would be the option to include a warning message when the disabled option is clicked or hovered over, which should allow the inclusion of variables from the source field causing the restriction. ie. in my use case, I would want to say, "{First name} cannot be resigned at this time because records show they are still holding the instrument {Instrument ID}. I think this feature would be of great benefit to a lot of Airtable users.

The new List View is great. But there's no option to share it, as there is with every other view. Can this functionality be added? Particularly hoping for the embed function to be enabled...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Increase the functionality of the new form builder so that when the form is submitted the user is redirected to another URL. How does is solve the user problems? We use this on our new website to redirect the user to a form submitted page so that we can track conversations in Google Analytics. How was this validated? Greater control over where a user is directed post form submission. Who is the target audience? Web dev's and website users.

What is the proposed idea/solution? I'd like to have the ability to save draft forms before sending them and recall them later. How does is solve the user problems? A user can start filling out a form, save the answers entered and complete the form at a later time, for example if they need to collect information to be able to answer everything. Who is the target audience? Anyone who uses a form to collect complex information, which requires time to fill out or the need to collect additional information.

What is the proposed idea/solution? In the Timeline view, I'd love to see a slightly more granular hourly view than "Day split into hours." Most of the records in my base are no more than an hour long, and there tend to be a few phases of the day where they bunch up a lot, which makes the "Day split into hours" zoom level really difficult to read. If there were something more zoomed in, even something as simple as "12 hours split into hours," that would help a lot. (The ability to freely zoom would be even better, but that might be too much to hope for!) When it comes to looking at shorter-duration events at a glance, the calendar view is easier to read, but Grouping is where the Timeline shines, and exactly what I need it for.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Display a character counter over the limit assigned to a question in a form. How does it solve the user problems? Whoever is filling the form can know there is a character limit before they start typing their answer and this helps them manage their content better. Also, they will be able to adjust their answer without leaving the page to use a character counter in some other tool. (like Google Docs) How was this validated? An external contact called us for help resolving the error message they were receiving about exceeding the character count in a form we created, so we asked them to type their answers in a Google Docs file and guided them on how to access the character count there. They couldn't complete the form without the use of an external character counter. Who is the target audience? Anyone, whether internal or external, who will need to fill out a form designed and shared by Airtable users.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Airtable desperately needs more options for date filtering. Most importantly the following: within next calendar week/month within past calendar week/month on or before the end of this calendar week on or before the end of next calendar week Airtable barely has filters for calendar weeks which is extremely frustrating because most program managers are looking at the tasks for the given week and it is super annoying to have to make it a custom between 2 date fields because saying on or before one week from now will show tasks from the following week within the first few days. How does is solve the user problems? This makes searches more automated so they will automatically show you what is happening in the given calendar week/month without having to do the current way which is: Date is on or after 11/1/2024 or date is on or before 11/30/2024 (which has to manually be changed every month). It just makes things unnecessarily difficult when it should just be simple to add these date filters.

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.
