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? We would love it if we could automatically set all Bases in a workspace to a single, non-UTC default time zone. It may also be helpful for other users to be able to set individual Bases, or all fields in an individual Table. How does this solve the user problems? For users with many bases, that each have many tables, which each have many fields, it is tedious to fix time zone errors manually. Being able to set a global time zone option would dramatically speed up workflow for anyone who uses Calendar Views that port data in from several different Bases. Who is the target audience? Workspace management end users. ... View more

We have an interface for our project management Airtable base, which shows project data filtered by a record list. As our base grows, the page has grown with it and is quite long, split into useful sections. I would like a way to hyperlink to different sections within the interface, like using div IDs and # hyperlinks in html.  This could tie in to a standard button, as currently used for navigation to external URLs.  ...

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? Providing Interface designers with the ability to allow/disallow the visibility of the field "i" tooltip inside Interfaces. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, we are using text blocks in the UI to explain certain field purposes or possible pitfalls of user selections. You can really clean up an interface and reduce user support questions by providing them with the ability to get further information before making a choice at the exact moment in their workflow that it is appropriate. Blocks of text mean to help a user perform functions really make the entire interface too cluttered to use for experienced users. Some users don't use the system very often so they usually completely forget and need this help but. Maintaining two interfaces with different levels of "Info Help" is not a viable option. From an administration standpoint, this allows for already existing documentation to now serve both database designers and end users at the same time. Future leaning thinking also implies that there could be two fields for "Description" - each with a different set of permissions so that admins can leave themselves complex backend notes for themselves and their teams yet provide more simple descriptions for interface front end users. How was this validated? N/A Who is the target audience? Anyone designing interfaces for themselves or others ... 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

What is the proposed idea/solution? At the moment, you cannot readily access the Page Designer through Interface when trying to implement a button. How does is solve the user problems? I would like staff to be able to generate letters in AirTable, but they work out of the Interface, exclusively. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ... ... View more

Being able to hide/show fields in the form view based on the values of fields higher up in the form could be extremely valuable. For instance, if using Airtable to keep track of leads, one might have a Single Select field with the following options: Relationship No Relationship Met at a conference Contacted through website If “Met at a conference” is selected, it would be valuable to collect information about that conference in a conference field, but it wouldn’t make sense to capture that info for any of the other options in the relationship field. ...

I really need for Kanban to work with a multiselect field the way Timeline works. The ability to group/lane by each option in the multiselect field. Then if there is more than one selection then the card appears in each lane of the selections. I would think that in the split scenario, if a card is selected with options A and B ... then if you grab a card to move it from option A to Option C, it would result in Option B and option C now. If you needed to add a 3rd selection, then you would go into expanded view to edit the selections. We are using this as a todo/workload board. Anything under a team/persons name indicates it's in progress, and we can see what they are working on and when each are due. In some cases we have a task that needs more than one person working on it, but do not want to create new projects for these scenarios. ... View more
