I’d love to be able to defer active filtering (e.g. until after field entry). Right now data entry can mess up the workflow because the view gets a refresh during editing of a field that is part of the filter (when the filter kicks in). The rows move up but the ‘old’ filtered row is placed on top of the new selection / top row. The result is there’s no way for the user to quickly update the view. Without the filter users can simply edit the field and jump to the next row using the enter key. ... View more

I would love a formula that looks at a date field and tell if it’s in the past , present, or future. This way I can create views for my upcoming classes, current classes, and previous classes ... View more

Hello! Just found AirTable and hoping to use it to provide a few solutions at my job and for my friend’s business. One area that would make it easier to deploy would be forms in Android. That way I can deploy it to the end users to log their sales transactions, for example, through a simple form and not have to learn how to navigate a database. Thanks ... View more

I use Trello heavily on my team. I love being able to see, at a glance what we’re working on and diagnose when we have a log jam of tasks. I would move it all to Airtable if I had two features: “Status” Field Type. I want to set a record as To Do, Doing, or Done and see a progress bar that grows and/or changes color on status. I want to customize the status based on my team’s work. Workflow View. I want to view my records and their status as if they are cards on a kanban board. Yes, just like Trello. Hey, they didn’t invent kanban boards, and they don’t have a patent on it (I hope). I want to drag cards from one status to another. Airtable Super Powers. Here’s where Airtable would shine in the place that Trello falls. Trello cards have no context. They don’t impact other resources and other resources don’t impacts cards. I would love to associate a bigger project with a set of cards, or a particular campaign. Basically want to link tables. Trello doesn’t have that. Airtable does. What do you folks think? Would you use a Status Field Type & Workflow View? ... View more

I want to make a view where I can say: Product Status is In Stock or Product Status is Backordered and Last Sold Date was within the last week However, the filter menu locks to ‘And’ or ‘Or’ dependent on your first selection. Is there any chance you would revise this? ... View more

The barcode feature in the mobile app is great, however searching for an item to link with barcodes only works on linked items when their primary field is the barcode. Barcodes tend to be nondescript, and it makes little sense that they become the primary field, as they then show up all over the place. Why don’t the search field search multiple indexes, letting the user specify a “searchable” Boolean on fields other than the primary could work. If a barcode column was searchable you could enable the barcode scanner. ... View more

I have several use cases where it would be helpful for users to quickly “flag” records. It would need to be such that multiple users/collaborators can flag the same record. Example use case. One table is a list of board games. We want to track how many people are interested in playing each game. Currently, we’d have to a) create a User table and then each user would have to b) choose their name from among many in a “Want To Play” field in the Game table. We’d like for them to be able to accomplish this through a single click. Since Airtable should recognize them as a unique entity through their login/username, this may already be available? I don’t see where user information can be accessed/utilized as a table/linked database, however. This functionality has limitless uses for those who want to be able to track the choices, actions, etc. of the users/collaborators. ... View more

Hi. Amazing software. One thing I’ve long dreamed of is a database that can interact with spreadsheets. Add them as attachments, open them from within the database, get data from and put data in certain fields. It would be a simpler way to do some calculations. As far as report printing goes, even that could be done as an A4 spreadsheet. Thanks! ... View more
