I think it’s insane that there’s no way to group your bases within a workspace. It’s just a big ol’ base dump that grows more unwieldy by the day. All I want is to organize these by folders. Has someone figured this out yet?? ... View more

It’d be great if the primary field for a table could be defined as consisting of multiple fields. For example, I have a “Movies Watched” base containing a table listing movies, and another table listing viewings. The viewings table has a link to the movies table and a date. Each viewing record can be uniquely identified by the combination of the movie and date. At present, since there is only one primary field, and that field cannot be a lookup, I have to set the primary field as a formula concatenating the movie lookup and date to create a fake composite field. A (simpler) alternative would be allowing the primary field to be hidden - as if the primary field is a formula based on other fields (such as in this instance) the data making up this primary field is already displayed elsewhere, and any fields used to create that primary field cannot be hidden if you want to be able to (easily) edit them. ...

I desperately want to be able to bold things and less desperately want to anchor links. I’m moving my entire team to Airtable because Airtable is awesome (the linking bases! it makes tracking things so easy!), but it’s really hard to format long text that’s …extra long without any style options. Thanks! ... View more

Love the long text field rich text options. Can we extend markdown to formulas as well? Why The usage could extend way beyond this, but my use cases are summary fields using rollups and formulas. Right now it looks like this: But as ‘Satuses’ scales to track more complicated lists, I’d like it to look more like: Complete 001: Modeling (someone’s name) 002: Modeling (someone’s name) Incomplete 003: Modeling (someone’s name) 004: Modeling (someone’s name) The bold formatting really makes a difference from a readability standpoint. Monospace or tab characters \t would also be lovely to ensure consistent formatting. ... View more

In Gallery View, you can customize what attributes of any given record show up on the card. In Calendar view, you just get the name of the card. I’d like to be able to, when you click a record in calendar, see a couple other attributes of my choosing with having to fully expand the record (some of these records have a LOT of attributes, and I only need to see one or two specific, consistent ones in calendar). ...

Please add an OCR engine for images and files along WITH ability to search text of attachments. Normal search engine should be able to find text in files such as *.xls, *.doc, *.txt evernote like OCR engine should be similar to evernote’s. evernote like OCR engine should be able to search through image and PDF attachments User should be able to UPLOAD/CREATE files that can be OCR’d by one (or both) of these methods: the ability to upload multiple images to one record and have every image in that record OCR’ed. Said upload should be able to be done from both a camera and a file picker. the ability to upload multiple images into a single file (ie create a pdf or something similar). Said upload should be able to be done from both the camera and from a file picker. Said pdf-like-file should be able to be searched with the evernote like OCR engine. Use cases: Airtable would make an AMAZING receipt scanner app IF it had an OCR engine like evernote. Also, it would make a great document storage app that would beat google drives capabilities if it would be able to OCR pdf files with an engine like evernotes. would also fill void of why some people use Adobe Acrobat on android- to store / create docs that they can reference later for legal purposes. Use cases from other users on airtable: Text and table formatting one might keep a database of excerpts from academic papers, and link relevant things in their project to those excerpts. Or say someone OCR’d a bunch of documents (contracts, receipts, whatever). They can upload the picture version, sure, but it’s not searchable, Barcode/QR support in Mobile app(s) In addition to barcode and QR, would you ever consider OCR? I’d love to use Airtable to take stock of the 500 cars I have in my dealership, and if the camera scanner had OCR built in as well as barcodes and QR, I’d be able to zap in the license plates. One More Note About the OCR Engine The reason I keep mentioning evernotes OCR engine is because it doesn’t make singular judgments about how to covert an image into text…instead it takes the user’s search string and finds any portion of an images that could match the search criteria (within a certain % of confidence). This is perfect for receipts and pictures taken with a camera where the image capture environment is not very well controlled. ... View more

When possible, could italicized text be made available as an option in the Page Designer block font styles? Italics are a very nice way to draw attention and differentiate content, particularly in printed material. Our company uses italics in our printed menus and I’d like to convert us over to using Airtable for those. Italics are supported by most Google Fonts but unfortunately there is no option in Page Designer font areas to take advantage of them. Here are the Roboto fonts for example: Probably goes without saying, but Page Designer is amazing! Thank you! ... View more

Dark Mode and themes. It seems standard nowadays to allow users to tweak the appearance of the app or interface they are using, except for Airtable. The ability to use your own colours to better suit how you organize your work and reducing eye strain with a dark mode seems like a no-brainer. Please Airtable, listen to the users, and give us dark mode. ... View more

When choosing the calendar field type, it has various format options but they all include the day. I would like to have an option to just include month and year. Use cases: In an employee directory, I’d like to have when they started with the company but most people don’t know date. Indicating when a client joined us or when their renewal month is. ...
