Column widths and field names

Mark_McCullagh · ‎Sep 30, 2020

Hi, I’m wondering if there’s a solution to this problem (see image). My columns have to be wide not to accommodate the data but to accommodate the field names. Result: mostly white space in view. Solutions that don’t work: Shorter field names. I do need the field names to be informative! Narrower columns. Then the field names are truncated and I don’t know what I’m looking at. Anything I haven’t thought of? I realized that one solution would be: Adjustable height of field names row. But that doesn’t seem to be a thing… Thanks in advance, Mark

If you take a look at the screenshot below, it looks like 2 options have been selected for each record. However, there are actually 4 options selected for each record. It would be great if Airtable gave us a little ellipsis symbol to let us know that more options have been selected. Ironically, if you click into the cell with your mouse, Airtable actually DOES show the ellipsis symbol. But then the symbol disappears when you leave the cell. it would be great for this ellipsis to show up at all times. 🙂 Thanks! 🙂

It would be great to be able to center or bold data, maybe even have different text color choices!

We’ve got two types of users in our org. Some who are deep into Airtable all the time and some who are mostly just viewing information but who could make small updates to records (e.g. update the status of a task) if they had access to do so. However, given the limited scope of what these users need to do, we can’t justify the cost of moving them from Read-Only to paid user access. Unfortunately, that makes Airtable less useful than it could be if money were no object. I’d be willing to pay a smaller monthly fee per user for these types of users if it were offered. But as it stands today, we’ve had to limit paid licenses to just the handful of team members who need deeper access to the data.

Not sure it this has been mentioned already however it would be immensely useful as we regularly need to “share” emails into Airtable records and it would be so much easier than a copy and paste.

I’m the Airtable evangelist in my company and am trying to get enough people to use it that we can invest properly in it across our employees. A struggling block the users I’ve introduced Airtable to are running up against is that you can’t do everything everywhere. Here’s the individual bits of feedback I’ve collated from the team that have frustrated them: Can’t use the calendar view in apps Can’t use the gallery view in apps Can’t see grouped records in apps Can’t edit forms in apps Can’t use forms in-app as a quick method of data input Can’t use Kanban view in apps Can’t use the more powerful web interface in Safari on the iPad Pro

I’m using Airtable to build a team library. I’m using typical forms to have folks enter in data, and using iframes using grid/card view to display the data on a website. Since the card view has limited room (yes, you can click and enlarge, but…) it would be nice to have a toggle where empty data isn’t shown. So, if one item has an external link, that would show, but for another item, that field won’t appear at all. (In other words, a field will show only if it has data to display.)

It should be possible to make a form that requires authentification in order to make sure that “Created by” is populated with the appropriate Airtable user when the form is submitted. The question was posted here but it does not seem that this is currently possible.

Hello, I like Dedupe function, but I feel one thing still missing… For example, We have 1 set of Duplicated data here, 2 data has 2 different information in the same field, and I would like to merge 2 different information in the primary record. Data 1 -Email = aaa@xxx.com Data 2-Email = 0 aaa@xxx.com Data 1 -purchased= Apple Date 2-purchased = Lemon I need to merge 2 data because e-mail is same, but I want to keep Apple and lemon under same data. (I wanted to add a picture, but this system does not seem to allow me to do it… ) I understand we can select only one field to be primary field, but Is there any way to keep and merge all information from all duplicated data? Looking forward to hear from you soon.
