Embed external content in an interface

MattWagner · ‎Jun 21, 2023

As an Airtable partner, it would be nice to be able to embed external content into Airtable. Although the platform is very flexible, it cannot do everything. By embedding external content, we can build an app interface with infinite possibilities! For example, a Miro board would enable project managers to have a digital whiteboard while leading meetings and taking notes. Hope my feedback makes it to the right person 🙂

What is the proposed idea/solution? To be able to group Interface Designer's pages into sections. Additionally, to access them via hover/clicked dropdown or mega menu at the top when the Interface is published. How does it solve user problems? If a user has multiple pages in the Interface Designer, the user should be able to group them into different sections for a cleaner, more organized view. Like data table views having sections on the left, pages should, too, as they act as an alternative to table views. Who is the target audience? Interface Designer users.

Need the direction of the fields in a table from right to left for usage of hebrew data. Also the direction of writing and aligning text in hebrew needs to be from right to left. It becomes frastrating even more when including english letters or numbers.

I’d love to see a new data type that takes the URL of an image file and renders the image rather than just displaying the URL as a link. I would think that this would save you some storage space as well by letting us link to hosted files rather than pulling them in as attachments.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Similar to Record Details pages, I would like the ability to include additional fields in the dropdown when selecting linked records in interface forms. How does it solve the user problems? I use unique ID's in the primary field, which makes it difficult to identify the appropriate record when selecting from the dropdown in interface forms. The ability to include other fields in the dropdown would allow me to select appropriate records without having another window open to map the ID's to my selection. This has already been implemented in Record Details pages, so I'm hoping it can be added without much issue (pictures attached). It would also save me from having to restructure my database. How was this validated? Everyday use Who is the target audience? Anyone using interface forms

To get an overview for long-term project planning, a “Year view” in Calendar is needed. Gant charts aren’t usable for my usage case because every task needs to be on a different line. This way, information is scattered and I can’t get a decent overview. (If grouping items on a gant chart didn’t merge all of the different subitems into one big blurp but kept different tasks with their start and end dates on the same line… Yes, then it would be useful, then it would be great. - But that’s for a different feature request. Let’s stick to a Year option in Calendar view as for now. Easy to implement, so…)

The collaborator field is great. Is there any plan to allow dynamic filtering based on this column? E.g. when collaborator contains [me]? Use case: I’ve got a team issues register using SharePoint. The default view shows the user only those records where their name (based on authenticated user account) is contained in a collaborator column. I’d like to transition to Airtable, but would need to give users a “My Items” view where they can see only records which contain them as a collaborator, without the user being required to apply a filter themselves.

It takes up room and looks bad!

What is the proposed idea/solution? Summary count of record comments should appear on record lines in a grid in an interface (just like it does when viewing a grid in the base). How does this solve the user problem? When viewing a grid on an interface, you will know which records have comments. How was this validated? See screenshot. Who is the target audience? All interface users

I don't understand how both btoa() and atob() methods are supported within the Airtable Scripting App Extension, but not within an Automation Scripting Action. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/btoa https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/atob Base64 encode and decode is an absolute staple in system integrations. Can it please be included to the Automation Scripting environment? To get me out of a tight spot, I have used the below function to substitute btoa() function btoa(str) { let characters = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/'; let result = ''; let i = 0; let char1, char2, char3; while (i < str.length) { char1 = str.charCodeAt(i++); char2 = str.charCodeAt(i++); char3 = str.charCodeAt(i++); result += characters.charAt(char1 >> 2); result += characters.charAt(((char1 & 3) << 4) | (char2 >> 4)); result += characters.charAt(((char2 & 15) << 2) | (char3 >> 6)); result += characters.charAt(char3 & 63); } return result; } I think that this is rather unnecessary...
