I have around 150 field techs that upload completion reports to my Airtable base. the process needs to be clean and simple as a lot of the techs are subcontractors and just getting them to use my Airtable form can be a challenge. One issue I have is that photos captured within the form are not also stored on the device, unless they take the photo first, then open the form, and select the image from their phone gallery. This process is a little cumbersome. 90% of the time there is no problem but occasionally the form must be failing on submission so the entries do not show up, and when I ask the techs to resubmit they don’t have a copy of the images on their phones. So I need to pay for them to return to site and get photos again. I’ve tried to get them to take photos first, then open the form… But it’s just not as user friendly to do this. Is it possible for photos captured within the form while using a smart phone, to also save to the users device?

Feature Request: Gantt View sort by Record Number (not ID) (Poll Vote at the bottom) In the Gantt view When the start and end date are equal to the start and end date of another record, the records will be ordered by their creation date. I would like the records to be sorted by Record Number when start/end dates are created equal. Additional Notes This will allow for the sorting of tasks to be organized manually from within the Grid view. This is useful when one record (or task) needs to be completed before another record for project management purposes. Tasks are always being created and updated and moved around. All workarounds are very cumbersome to get tasks to fall in order. My current workaround: Reorder tasks how I want them, Copy and paste all tasks into a new table in order for the Creation Date to be updated in the order that the records are in. All records now fall in order, but this is not practical. Question to Airtable and Community Is there a use case for having records in Gantt view be placed in order based on Creation Date rather than Record Number? I can’t think of one but I’m only using the Gantt view for project management. Maybe there’s another reason. Please Vote: Will this be helpful for you? Yes 0 voters

Right now if I have a record with a lot of fields I can choose to view the data in one long horizontal row (in grid view) or one long vertical column (if I pop open the detail view). I have a lot of space in my big monitor; I want to be able to fit more fields on the screen at a time by putting them in a two-dimensional grid rather than a one-dimensional row or column. It would be great if I could make a page-designer view that allowed me to edit the data directly from within it like a form. Alternatively I’d like to be able to specify a two-or-three column layout on the detail view. Either of these options would allow me to take advantage of my screen real-estate to view and edit lots of record data a lot more easily.

We use formulas to generate emoji “flags” per record. But they’re REALLY small. In emoji-only fields, I’d love for the type-scale to be increased by at least 125%. Max out that cell, when it’s an “image”!
Thank you.

I am building a Table to apply Markup to products. I need to be able to apply a different amount of markup to different quantities. The best way to do this would be able to select from a single select column but it seems the function column does not recognize the number as a number for the calculation.
I have tried writing it as both a regular number and a percent.
The simplest solution would be to add a format option to single select that says it is text, a number, a percent, etc…

I’m guessing this request has already been made by others before, but I couldn’t find it. In almost every table I create, I have to create a “Search” view that I use in place of the existing Search tool in the upper-right corner. About 90% of the time, when I’m searching, I’m looking for something in the name field of the record, so I use this search view to filter for that. Sometimes I choose to filter my search by adding additional filters, such as “Status” or “Type”, etc. I wish that the built-in Search tool worked this way, so I wouldn’t have to create a Search view in every table. Rarely do I want to search every field in every record for a value. I wish I could set the default field that the Search tool searches in, with the option to select other fields or add additional filters. Let me know if anything about this needs further clarification.

Using Airtable to plan out my day. I like this better than using Google Calendar or iCal since I can see the items as both a list and on a calendar. I can also have way more colors and categories without getting too complicated. Issue is that many of the items are 15 minute tasks and it’s hard to visualize when the tasks push each other to the side instead of stacking. I’d suggest that calendar view be customizable so the height shows X hours at a time. Then scroll can be used to see all the items within a day and no item needs to be pushed to the side because there isn’t enough height for the name of the item.

As of now on submitting form it shows thank you message. We have to manually refresh again for next entry.
It would be cool if there’s save & proceed to next entry button.

Unless I’m missing something major, there doesn’t seem to be an out-of-the-box solution which allows you to filter so as only display records which have a checkbox field unchecked. Checked yes, but unchecked no. Is this an accidental oversight by Airtable? Some reason why this is not possible? Seems like it would be an easy and really great thing to implement. Unless of course this is actually possible and I’m missing something really obvious… (am new to Airtable!)
