Hello,
I love Airtable and can’t be thankful enough for the amazing product.
However, I would be happy if some of the things were implemented. It feels very unorganized when you have multiple views.
First, I think separator or some sort of grouping would make it much cleaner and easier to understand.
Secondly, I think “Add a view” section is too big. It feels like it’s aimed for new users but it always draws me to create a new view even if I don’t need one. Most of the time we are interacting with pre-existing views rather than creating a new view. So, I don’t think it should be getting that much focus. Instead, the focus should be on pre-existing views. Something like this can be done as shown in the attached image. This also gives extra room for additional views. The options pops up when we click “Add a new view” button. The new users should easily get hang of it within the few minutes of using airtable.
Third, it’s a minor thing but may be the search icon should align with the icons of the views.
Thank you.

The ability for cards to show different fields depending on their status. If the cards represent tasks, it is natural for tasks of different statuses to have different information that is relevant.

Every field and table has the ability to have it’s own description, but the views within the table do not. It would be extremely beneficial to add field descriptions to each view so the other members of my team know what they’re used for and have all the info they need to make informed actions in that view.

If I have an event that is 5 days it takes up the view on the calendar, In google calendar, a five-day event is shown on the top a line and cleans up the calendar, would be great to do this here at present I use a filter but it gets complicated after a time.

Is there a way to send an email with the forms answers to a specific email address when a form submission is made, just like Google Forms does?

Hey there.
I have experienced an issue recently whereby we have 30+ users of Airtable, and users are coming in and changing the base color.
This was fine when we were a small team, or when we only used one base, but as we grow, this is becoming a serious problem.
Is it possible to lock the color so it’s not editable Or Is it possible for everyone to give a base their own color scheme?
Either works - It just gets messy when everyone can edit - Especially because color has such a huge impact on context, and that’s one of the many benefits of Airtable.

When I go to output a grid view , I can save it as a .csv file, print it to a printer, or “print” to a pdf file. I’d also like to be able to save it as a Microsoft Word / Rich Text Format (RTF). Additionally, I’d like this functionality when I “print” a page designer report.

I have repeatedly accidentally lost data as I entered it in a form. Here is what happens. I am filling out a form. I am about half way through. I realize I don’t know the value I should enter for a particular field. In my browser, I navigate out of the form to go find out this information. I come back to the form an the form is now empty. When I navigate away, I would like a warning “Do you want to save your data?”.

My Airtable has two columns: Start Date and End Date. When I use the calendar to select a date, the default for both Start Date and End Date is today. What I would like instead: After I select a Start Date and I click on End Date to select a date, display the start date rather than today. Reason: I pick a start date in the future (maybe months, years in the future). The calendar view is helpful to ensure I select the right day. When I pick an end date, that end date must be after the start date. With the current process, I must first tab through the calendar to the start date and then continue to tab through the calendar to the end date.

I want to be able to archive and not display certain views for old clients, but I don’t want to delete those views.
So adding a Filter on Views dropdown will allow me to select a common field like ‘Status’ with condition does not contain ‘Archive’ to accomplish hiding saved Views that are no longer relevant but worth keeping for future reference.
