Would love the capability to reorganize opened records. SmartSuite came out with this functionality and it is very clean and user friendly. They also have sections which would help to default collapse certain sections that I don’t need to see such as my calculations running in the background that are only used to for formulas and automations being run. SmartSuite’s sections structure is clean and a good example of what would work well. ... View more

I would love to see some kind of reminder or alert system for items that are setup to display on Calendar views. One of my bases has a table that is used to keep track of follow-up calls to potential customers. If they’re called once and we schedule a follow-up, I have a column with a date/time format and a calendar based on that field. Without alerts, users are advised to check their calendar each morning and afternoon for upcoming scheduled follow-ups, but it would be great when adding a date/time to a column that is tied to a calendar if there could also be an option for reminders or alerts. Maybe something like Outlook reminders, 15 minutes before the time and the option to snooze for 5 minutes or dismiss completely. Additionally, I’ve noticed that the view of records in the Calendar doesn’t persist when you leave and come back in. For instance, this table has over 1200 records but only some are going to have follow-up times on them. I change the view in the top right corner from “all records” to “records with dates” but it doesn’t stay that way if I leave and return. Due to the nature of the table and its size, displaying all records will never be useful so I’d like to avoid having to change it each time. And finally, something I just noticed and am very concerned about, is the “delete” option when viewing an item from the Calendar. I just tested it and it doesn’t just delete/clear the info in the relevant date/time field, it deletes the entire record. There’s no prompt to confirm anything, so a simple misclick could completely remove a record from the table and this is a bit scary. I would think it would be far more often needed to simply clear the date field than to delete an entire record, especially from the Calendar view, but maybe it could be solved by asking which they’d like when clicking delete? I think any kind of data removal could benefit from a bit of an extra step to be sure that removal is intended. Thanks! ... View more

In Form View (and in grid view also), we have some multi- and single-select fields. The selection options tend to be long, and some would need to wrap two lines of text to be displayed fully on form view.  People using the form, can see the full option text of the selection by mousing over, but this is tedious as we have many long selections.  It would be great, if when we create the field, we have the option to "Wrap Text." We realize this may mean that some of the checkboxes will have one line gaps between them, but that is OK with us. We prefer better customer usability.  Screenshot image: Shows long text being cut off.  "Add wrap text toggle option here" image: Where you can put the option to wrap text  ... View more

In Excel/GSheets you can automatically adjust the min width of columns by double-clicking the separator. It would be nice to do this in Airtable’s grids as well 😄 ... View more

It would be extremely helpful to be able to color code the table. I’m not necessarily looking for color to be based on a condition (hence a different thread). Example Case: There are five tables within an airbase. Two of those tables are focused on action: projects and tasks. Three are focused on people: the individuals themselves, the vendors they work for and their expertise. The tab for the two tables focused on action could be one color and the three tables focused on people are another. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? To be able to turn off notifications for all records within a database besides when you are @ mentioned How does is solve the user problems? As an administrator I create 100's of records and and constantly bombarded with emails everytime there is a comment or change. How was this validated? This would make the program more user friendly as previous systems we have used such as Monday.com have this feature Who is the target audience? Everyone ... View more

I love the fact that, in Grid View, you can manually re-order records, and sort by a variety of criteria. But it would also be nice if you could sort and manually re-order GROUPS of records, when displaying in groups. Currently, the only option is an alphabetical sorting of groups. That just doesn’t work for our project management base, in which we commonly create views for a particular user, sorted by status (in progress, with client, on hold, etc) or by priority. It would be great to be able to put the most relevant groups at the top. ... View more

This is very useful for multiple nested conditions, and is basically a string of multiple IF-conditions, with the 'ELSE" condition being another IF.   The google sheets documentation for the IFS function clearly explains this.   It would be very helpful to make long nested formulas much more readable! Thanks for the great work with Airtable 🙂 ... View more

We cannot color by lookup fields. Even if “Allow linking to multiple records” is disabled on the Record Linker, the option to select Single Select Lookup fields is disabled in the record coloring menu. This makes no sense, and is a real hamper on operations that make use of Airtables Sync feature to integrate multiple bases with each other. I understand that the option is probably disabled because lookup fields are arrays, but there is absolutely no reason it should be disabled when the linker field is restricted to only allow the linking of one item. This is an oversight that forces users to spend a huge amount of time drafting custom color rulesets. ... View more
