I want to be able to hide the primary field when I am sharing specific views. Specifically I would love to do this in the gallery view but ideally in all views. ... View more

As I see the pivot table extension right now, you can only have 1 field as the column. I currently am tracking workable hours in a month versus the number of actual hours someone worked to determine comp time. It would be beneficial if I could add multiple columns (hours worked, comp time, and month) against the row of resource.   ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? The proposed solution is to introduce a feature in Airtable's Kanban view that allows users to manually reorder columns when using linked fields, just as they can with single-select fields. This would involve a drag-and-drop functionality where users can click and move columns into their preferred order, rather than having them automatically sorted alphabetically. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, users are limited by the automatic sorting of columns when using linked fields in Kanban view, which can lead to a less intuitive workflow and makes it harder to organize tasks effectively. By allowing manual reordering of columns, users gain the flexibility to arrange their Kanban boards in a way that best fits their workflow and priorities. This would improve the usability of Kanban views, particularly for teams working on complex projects that require customized task organization. How was this validated? The need for this feature has been highlighted by user feedback and the limitations experienced by teams who frequently use linked records in their Kanban views. The idea builds on existing functionality (manual reordering for single-select fields), so it’s a natural extension of a proven feature. While there may not be formal studies validating this specific solution, it is grounded in practical user experience and the need for greater customization in Airtable. Feedback from the Airtable community, including forums and support channels, often reflects a desire for more control over how data is displayed and managed, validating the importance of such a feature. Who is the target audience? The target audience includes Airtable users who rely on Kanban views for project management and task tracking, especially those using linked fields extensively. This feature would benefit teams and individuals looking for more control and customization in their project management processes. It is particularly relevant for users managing complex projects with multiple linked records where the ability to organize columns manually would improve workflow and visibility. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? When viewing an individual day in the Calendar view, it would be helpful to apply a sort so that the records are aligned in their own "columns" within the Calendar view. For example, if we sort by "Executive," it would be helpful to have all records with "Executive A" aligned to the left of the daily Calendar view, then "Executive B" aligned to the right of that, then "Executive C" aligned to the right of that, and so on. See the attached image for how Airtable currently sorts the calendar--each executive is color-coded but the records are scattered across the calendar rather than aligned neatly into individual columns. How does is solve the user problems? It is difficult to track records linked to specific fields in a calendar view, especially if there are multiple events happening on the same day that occur at the same time. Allowing users to sort into columns based on specific fields (in this example, a single select field for "Executive") would streamline the workflow for event managers and provide quick visual reference in a fast-paced real-time environment. How was this validated? This was validated for a major global event with a Fortune 100 company. Who is the target audience? Marketing teams, sales teams, or anyone responsible for managing large-scale events. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Would love if we could add in a personalized onboarding flow for users in the interfaces we're building. Ex. Be able to add in lightboxes that say "What's this?" for new features or if it's the first time someone is opening a base a step by step flow showing what fields are important in the interface. How does is solve the user problems? A lot of user training and documentation has to be created outside of Airtable to help our users understand what is going on in the tool. Looks like an opportunity to Airtable to take part of that documentation process. How was this validated? Personal experience in creating documentation processes and having to screenshot Airtable interfaces to basically do this manually in Miro. Who is the target audience? Interface users and those building interfaces for their organization. ... View more

Hello All, Personally I use airtable to track things throughout the day, and I’ve found it quite annoying to not have a time field option that is separate from the date. Of course I can enter the time manually in a single line text entry, but I think since we can enter the date without the time it only makes sense that we be able to enter the time without the date. What do you all think? Is this something you would find useful or something you have wished for? Claire ... View more

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. ... View more

As you are all aware, this is a highly anticipated feature, and there are many users who would like to get beta access. However, for technical reasons and to ensure an optimal user experience, rollout for this beta will be conducted in small, limited batches. (In practical terms, that means that it might take a while for you to get access.) ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? I'm trying to use an interface to present financial information; however, numbers are left aligned in list view and there is no option for totals. Even columns that are right aligned in Grid view are left aligned in List view. Can this be corrected so that it allows the option to right align? How does is solve the user problems? It will allow us to use list view for financial information in a way that is more intuitive to users. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Everyone and anyone that looks at financial information in a list view or interface. ... View more
