I’d like to use Airtable to save time creating PowerPoint slides that I currently use to present status updates in weekly meetings. I was hoping to do this with the Page Designer Block, but it looks like each instance is limited to just one page and I need the layout for each slide to be slightly different. For example I want my deck format to be similar to this: Slide 1 - P1 features status Slide 2 - P2 features status Slide 3 - P3 features status Is there a way to do this or combine the views of multiple blocks into a PDF? If not I’d love to see this feature added to Airtable. My team is new to Airtable and the thought of saving time from updating records in multiple locations makes us giddy. ... View more

I know that his has been requested a number of times. I couldn’t find to +1, so I’m doing so here. It’s so chintzy to have the AT logos on the summaries and charts I share. A big thing pushing me to explore other options. ... View more

Hey Airtable, Was trying to use the timeline block for scheduling shooting days and despite being very promising for doing so, it was quite cumbersome to use for the following reasons. There is no button to fit the entire timeline in the view. Sometimes you lose your data, you scroll or zoom out … this is frustrating. A simple “fit content to view” button would be great ! In the same vein, a navigation thumbnail with a window highlighting the current viewed area would help too (above or below the window). Moreover, if we could have a customizable background grid to choose displaying the relevant units of time only: weeks, days, hours, minutes, … Thank you for considering these suggestions ! Cheers R. ... View more

I’m using Airtable for tracking a large set of product ideas. I share this table with many other people and I would like a way to gauge the group’s interest in ideas as a way to bubble up the best. (Up voting and down voting). It would be great if there was a custom Voting/Like/+1 Field that would let each user up vote or down only once and result in an integer that you could then sort on. It may be hard to build but, would replicate a pretty basic Reddit-type functionality. Thanks! ... View more

I note if you attach a password protected PDF to a base on both desktop and iOS if you try to access the file it asks for your password and opens. The same however is not true for docx files you need to download the file out of airtable then open it with the password. This raises 2 questions for me is there any way docx that are password protected can be opened within airtable. Secondly I have bases with pdf attachments is there any way I can password protect the files within airtable ie can I password protect a whole field or must I individually replace the pdf files with password protected ones? ...

This one might be a little bit “out there,” but I think that if it were possible it might address a number of requests for additional functions supported by Airtable’s Formula Fields… I’m wondering if it might be possible support Formula Fields whose values are based on the result of some ad-hoc Javascript function. For example, the user might specify other Airtable fields as the Javascript function’s params, specify the JS function itself, and have the Formula Field’s value reflect the result. It sounds like a lot of work, but if it were possible, it would expose Javascript’s functions to users, and reduce the need for Airtable to continually add support for new functions. It might also help to meet some of the needs that we’re seeing for localization. Just a thought. ~ Tim ... View more

It feels like the Grouping functionality in Airtable is limited in its usefulness. Grouping records by a given field makes some of my tables “Visually” more structured, however, the rollup field type could benefit from having some additional formulas that can logically recognize a grouping of records. There are analytical functions available already, where you can select, AVG, SUM, and MAX, etc for a particular grouping, but no way to access the result of these values in formulas. What would be great is if there was some way I could label/identify a particular group of records and access aggregate data from these groupings somehow. Just a thought :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: ... View more

More Options Menu (down arrow) to include click to copy Internal ID for these objects: Base Table View Field The Internal IDs for Fields and Tables is now in the Airtable API, but would be ideal to have this as part of the Airtable UI too: Latest changes to our API, SDK, & Documentation Known workaround is to get these IDs from URLs in the Browser. ...

Please add options within the filter UI that allow us to narrow a dataset to just records that meet X requirement within a period of time. In our case, we need to know when one field was changed to X today, yesterday, this week, last week and in the last two weeks. Similarly, we need to be able to create views for today, tomorrow, next week, next two weeks, next month, next quarter, etc. I’m sure this can be done via formulas/fields, but a UI is preferable for view-management. Thank you. ... View more
