What is the proposed idea/solution? On Interfaces, I would love for a user to be able to hover over an element and see the set of conditions/filters that are acting on the element.  How does is solve the user problems? I often create dashboards that summarize data for my colleagues. My colleagues are not comfortable going into edit mode to see how an element was configured. Nonetheless, they may be interested in understanding what data a number element, for example, is drawing from. This would allow them to learn that without having to enter edit mode.    How was this validated? Haven't validated it at scale, but I see this as a hurdle for my team regularly. The person who constructed the interface dashboard is the only one who really understands what the various elements mean Who is the target audience? Users of interfaces ... ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Option to colour table tabs in classic grid view. How does is solve the user problems? As a database grows, there can be quite a lot of tables in a base. Mine has 25 tables that I use. It gets tedious looking for the right table. If there was an option to colour table tabs by topic, it would be much more intuitive to find the right table quickly. How was this validated? From experience - I often find myself searching for a table, especially when I'm working on a laptop screen (13-15'') and not all the tables are displayed at once. Who is the target audience? Anyone with more than 10 tables in a base. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? When using Group Overview in Interface Timeline view, I want the option to only show the Group Overview bar as an intermittent bar that only appears over events, so that I can collapse all group swimlanes and still see where the activity is (and isn't) in each Group. Right now, it spans from the earliest event to the latest event, even if there are no active events in between. I attached a mockup. How does this solve the user problems? ... I use Timeline to plan projects, with each Group representing a team. With very complicated Timelines with lots of activity, this would allow me to collapse all groups/teams to create a more condensed, simplified view, but still see when certain Groups/Teams are active vs inactive. How was this validated? ... Don't know what this question means. Who is the target audience? Project Managers and project members who use the Timeline view. ... View more

Allows users to present information in a coherent way based on the decided sort function.   ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Formula fields have recently gained the ability to be formatted as single selects and checkboxes. I propose that formula fields also have the ability to be formatted as users and rich text. How does is solve the user problems? User fields are very useful for filtering records in interfaces, especially for filtering on the "current user". However, currently, the filter only works on actual user fields, but sometimes the user should be a calculated value. For example, a record might have a different assignee, depending on the stage of the record. It would be useful to have a formula field calculate the current assignee so that the interface page can then show all of the records where the user is a current assignee. For rich text fields, I currently have a formula field that serves as a template to build paragraphs in markdown, combined with an automation that copies the formula result to a rich text field. If the formula field could be formatted directly as rich text, I would not need the helper rich text field or the automation. This would also reduce issues with determining when the automation needs to be re-triggered.  How was this validated? Based on my experience with Airtable, I think these features would be useful. Who is the target audience? ... ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution?  When presented with an SSO/SAML Error, in the UI, offer a re-direct or place a link to https://airtable.com/forgot as this may solve the issue. Presently, there is very little done to help remediate the issue on the users' side.  ... How does this solve the user problems? Users may receive SSO/SAML errors even when Single Sign On is not-in-use. ... How was this validated? It worked for multiple users who had SSO/SIML errors when logging in in an org that did not utilize SSO. ... Who is the target audience? All users, as an issue that can fixed with a password reset is an issue that can fixed without escalating. ... ... View more

The old interface layout allowed you to have 2 colors to pick from for the background. The new interface is only light grey. It would be very helpful to be able to have several background colors to pick from to distinguish key areas. It would be nice to be able to adjust fonts, bold, italic, etc.  ... View more

In the "New " Interface layout, it would be great to "Add elements" like you are able to in the "older" interface layout. It is very helpful when needed to add a list or grid from a different table. It also helps with tasks list or being able to see all the linked records.  ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Provide an option to opt out of the new user onboarding flow. Stop forcing the flow to pop up every time we navigate to a new page. How does is solve the user problems? It prevents users (like me) being extremely irritated when trying to just get on with doing what I need to do. I've used Airtable before, like many others.  How was this validated? I personally have designed and implemented similar new user onboarding flows. It's also just a poor UX, because it doesn't provide users with the agency to navigate and use the product according to their needs - it forces users to complete flows according to Airtable's unvalidated needs. In fact, how did Airtable validate the need to persist the flow, rather than providing an opt-out? Who is the target audience? Every single new user. ... View more
