Subject says all. Not all forms are used for a ‘response’ type interaction (delete request, add product, etc). Making the button text variable or more generic (‘Open another form / New form / etc.’) would be nice, end-user friendly and more accurate. Cheers, Arthur.

Hey everyone. When you have a large set of records, grid view with grouping / filtering / sorting is a great way to create reports and surface meaningful insights. The problem for me, is when I have to turn this view into a PDF document that looks professional. A- Page designer, is great for adding headers, logos etc but it doesn’t support embedding a grid view with grouped records etc… and it only works with single pages. B- On the other hand, printing the grid view creates a very raw layout without headers or titles… I would love to see a report designer block with the ability to customize logos, headers but also border styles and fonts for a grid view Hope I’m not the only one wishing for this one…

Being able to keep paperwork for a nonprofit on Airtable is great. However, a lot of our forms require signatures. It would be great if Airtable provided this feature. If anyone knows a simple integration for this please let me know!

I am very glad Airtable has added options to the possibilities for prefilling forms, especially the ability to prefill linked records. However, it seems this functionality expects the record index string as the prefill query parameter. I’m happy to have someone point me to the right way to do this if I am mistaken, but if I am not, I would find it very useful to link records by record ID. This would make scenarios like this possible: enter the One part in a One to Many data relationship in a first form; redirect the first form to https://airtable.com/formForManyPart?prefil_link={record_id} on success; enter one Many part correctly linked to its One. Our exact usage scenario is to allow students to request resources for a project, with the ability to add the project to our DB first if it does not exist yet. Having that newly created project linked straightaway to the requested resources in the form would take away a lot of friction.

I’m trying to create a time sheet for my employees in airtable and one thing I wish I could do with the page designer is limit the records that are displayed within a linked record table is to limit the results to a view from the linked table, that way we can filter out old time sheet entries and only display ones from last week. There is an option to sort the data in the table, but no option to limit the data to a specific view. That would be helpful! Let me know if you agree!

Hello, On desktop, when a view is locked, the chosen sort order can still by applied by tapping “Apply” (since Auto Sort is still not a thing). But on the iOS app at least (I haven’t tested Android), when a view is locked the “Apply” button is greyed out and cannot be chosen. Ideally, the sort order itself could not be changed, but the sort could still be applied. At the very least, it should work the same way on desktop and on mobile. Thank you!

I am the manager of the Makerspace at a University. We run our space/machine reservation system on Airtable and Integromat. The users fill out a Form view to register as a user first. Then they do another form anytime they want to reserve something. Part of the problem is that when they go to select who they are in the reservation form, they have access to everyone else’s name as well. This is security issue as well as a nuisance for us on the back-end. My question is would it be possible to create conditional fields only within a Form view? For instance, if the user selects their name from the list, they must also put their password into a “Password” type field that they set when they register as a user. If it matches what’s in the record , then the form is accepted. It would work almost like a modified Lookup field combined with conditions. This would allow us to securely have hundreds of “users” without them needing to have an Airtable account or really even any special permissions. We have almost 300 Makerspace users and having to pay for that many users in Airtable would be our entire budget - and they don’t even need access to Airtable really… There could many other uses for this for businesses with clients, returning survey participants, etc.

Please include a way to add a subheading descriptor on surveys. Often survey questions are grouped in categories, which can help guide users filling out the survey. Text only subheadings is an easy add on that organizes all the information on a survey much better. Thank you!
