In the View pane, the little gear in the search bar (above) grants the option of filtering out everyone's personal views—is there a way an option can be added to show only views that are being synced and/or shared? And maybe even something that gives people the option to exclude synced views from the list. Or maybe include a little indicator (a little pink asterisk or icon to match the "Share and sync" menu in the topbar, perhaps) next to View names? We have a lot of views and having a way to quickly see the views from which data is flowing out would be helpful. Right now I believe this kind of functionality is only available in the Share menu, which to me doesn't feel as intuitive and hampers visibility. ... View more

Added this as a comment to the Record Templates announcement but also wanted to add a new thread. I'm trying to build out a new workflow where team members can create new records in one table via a Linked Record field in a different table. When you click the " + Create a new record" option at the bottom of the Link Record dialog, you get the new record as an expanded record showing the fields visible in the very top view of the table. I'd love for the top right options menu (below) to have an "Apply template" option somewhere so I can more seamlessly create new records using existing templates, rather than having to click out of the expanded view, navigate to the table the new record is located in, and apply the template there. A little paint bucket between the link and comment icons... pretty please... Not make-or-break, as it's ultimately a small thing, but it would make for a much more seamless experience overall, imo. Thanks!   ... View more

The current grid view summarisation options are great, but we need the summaries to calculate the combined values when using formula fields. E.g. Each record calculates a % using two number fields. The summarisation doesn't give the total combined % but rather a sum, average, or another inappropriate function. ... View more

Hi, One of the comments from the team at work is that the grid views are messy when it's a whole page of 'pill' shapes, particularly when they're all different widths (based on the text length of each option). Is there the ability to shade/colour the entire cell instead of just a pill shape? And if not, can the width of the pills be based on the width of the column instead of the text length, so they're clear and consistent regardless of the dropdown option selected? Regards, Andrew ...

Capacity Rather than having time against items spread evenly over X days, having another junction table that tracks time entries would be great. For example, I have a 10-hour task to do over 3 days and spend from 10am to 4pm working on it on the first day. This leaves 4 hours of work to do, which can then be spread over the next two days. Should I then do none of that work on day 2, all 4 hours of it would need to be done on the 3rd day. Available hours The available hours are powerful, but don't allow us to track half days or exclude certain types of time off, both of which are crucial to utilisation. Many people take half days but these would appear in the timeline view as either normal days or time off, leaving the user in a position where they have to know when people are off work. It'd be ideal to select a view in the "Time off" table to filter out people who are off sick, at a conference or have had their leave request rejected, for example. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? I'd like to display the link field to another table with colours on the text like I can on single / multi-select.  How does is solve the user problems? This is useful where the linked table is reference data that doesn't change much. At the moment the workaround is laborious. It requires creating a second column in the reference table as a single select, copying the text of the primary column, colouring the second column, then changing the linking tables to show the second column and not the primary, which then means I can't edit the link as it is hidden, so then I create editing views to handle that or displaying both. It's a pain. How was this validated? Great ideas don't need validation. Who is the target audience? Me. I'm selfish that way. But I guess it will work for everyone using Airtable using reference data tables. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Access to the relevant information instead of having to use the current group feature in interfaces. Keeps info on one screen rather than scrolling up and down between field groups. How was this validated? I regularly curse that I can't get my eyes on relevant info quick enough...too many clicks to get to what I need to see to make decisions or communicate. Who is the target audience? Interface users. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? I propose the introduction of a new field type named "Location." This field would be specifically designed to handle address inputs more efficiently and accurately in tables and more specifically form fields. The key feature of this field would be its integration with an address autocomplete service, like Google Places API, to assist users in entering correct and standardized addresses. How does is solve the user problems? Enhanced Data Accuracy: Autocomplete would reduce the likelihood of errors and inconsistencies in address data entry, ensuring higher data quality. Improved User Experience: Users would find it easier and faster to input addresses, enhancing the overall usability of forms and databases. Streamlined Data Collection: For applications like CRM, event management, and logistics, where address data is crucial, this feature would streamline data collection and processing. Global Address Coverage: Leveraging a service like Google Places would provide access to a comprehensive and updated global address database. How was this validated? In our specific scenario, we receive engineering service requests from customers and clients through our website. A critical component of efficiently processing these requests is obtaining accurate location addresses. Currently, we find that only about 50% of the addresses submitted are correct. This inefficiency hampers our workflow, as we frequently need to allocate additional time and resources to verify and complete partial or incorrect addresses. Common issues we encounter include misspelled street names, inaccurate street suffixes (such as St., Ln., Dr., Ave.), and missing or erroneous zip codes. Who is the target audience? This feature would be immensely beneficial to any user who relies on storing and utilizing location addresses within Airtable. Given the platform's extensive user base, it's reasonable to assume that this encompasses a significant number of individuals and organizations. ... ... View more
