PLEASE allow forms to open in the app! I like that the interface forms to create records open in the app, i don't understand why other forms cannot. Since airtable mobile website doesn't work well (you have to request desktop website) it is a massive PITA to complete a form on mobile device especially if you want to record WHO submitted the form (requires signing in). Since mobile browsers suck at keeping you logged in if you close out of your browser app, you have to constantly sign in and get the stupid message to get a magic link on your desktop.

Please add a signature field. Seriously… I could get rid of two different apps & move all my databases to Airtable if you could add a signature field.

PLEASE add the ability to use PDF export from page designer in automation! Or at least add the PDF as an attachment field in the record. The only way to get use out of the page designer is to manually download each record, would to use for creating static documentation of what a record looks like at a given time or send to client for review, etc.

(I’m trialing Kanban to see if it makes sense to [try to] get our person team to switch from Asana)
Because of each Kanban column is so thin, and the font for the title of the card is so large, only a few words from the record’s title fit in the card, and I often need to click on the card to understand what it is about. This is the case even after I significantly shortened the titles.
One possible solution would be to make the font size smaller, or customizable.
Another possible solution could be to make the width of columns customizable. Right now I have a board with 4 columns, and the right half of my screen is completely empty, which doesn’t make sense considering I can’t even read the short titles in full. If I could make columns wider, I’d be able to see the full text. However, this would only fix the problem for boards with few columns.
For boards with more columns, we’d still need another fix, like making text smaller or skinnier.
–
Currently because the kanban columns are very thin, AND the title for the cards are shown in a large font (relative to the width of the columns), most of my card titles are being truncated, even after considerable effort to make them shorter.
I’m new to AirTable and it looks very nice, it has potential to replace Asana for our team, but this one thing is rendering the Kanban view essentially useless for me.
Any ideas?

My entire team about 10 of us are very active on AT mobile. But the biggest problem is we have to go to our desktop to check blocks. Is there anyway I can access blocks on mobile?

I’m really underwhelmed by the lack of pivot table functionality, which are basic features in google sheets and excel:
Sorting (Can only sort by field used for rows, why not sort by other fields not shown?) Also mentioned here: Sort Pivot table by Column values
Exporting
Formatting
Mark-up
I’m sure there’s other stuff missing that I’m not running into yet.

I am wondering whether Airtable team ever considered rolling out a paid plan targeted at individual users. By individual users I mean people who have the product for personal use, maybe only occasional and whose volume of data is really low. Such a plan could include some blocks useful for personal planning, like Timeline, Matrix or Map.
Let me share an example. When blocks were present in the Free Plan, I decided to use the Map block for planning a trip with my friends. I invited them to Airtable and we had a table with destinations each linked to the map. That was very convenient as everyone was able to overview the map.
The only problem is that blocks are part of the Pro plan which costs too much for individual users and their use cases. I think the key differentiator of those users is that the amount of records they work on is small. Literally tens of records per base. What will do for them is some reasonable fee for the features included in the Free plan + some blocks enabled. I would say 1,200 records/2GB of attachments per base is even too much.

I manage one base with two interfaces for my company. One is the Team interface everyone has access to and the other is a Management interface where only management has access to. The Team interface undergoes the most evolution and it's nearly impossible for me to keep open record panels consistent across both interfaces. Frankly, I find it ridiculous you can't copy open record panels from another interface that shares the same base but that's another point entirely. Ideally, I would like consolidate both interfaces into the Team interface and the Management pages have a password protection feature that prompts you to fill in a password (one singular password specified in the interface editor - no need for separate user passwords) before permitting access to the page. The current system makes it difficult to scale and retain consistency across multiple interfaces and I feel like this would be a simple solution with a big impact on permissions.

Airtable is changing the face of software applications by separating data from form. The Gantt, Timeline, Calendar and Kanban views are awesome. Why have special apps for these functions when your data underneath can be visualised as needed! My product suggestion is that a Network and Tree View be added. OR OR Technically these are all Directed Acyclic Graphs and there are myriads of use cases where business data forms either a hierarchy or a flow graph. Organisation Charts Bill of Materials Work Breakdown Structure Product classification systems Task networks (which complement the Gantt View) etc etc. Anyone else see value in a data driven view like this?

Maybe Zapier has spoiled me, but it would be really nice to get a little more granular detail on our automation runs within our bases/workspaces. Right now, the only way to see any form of metadata re: automations is to go to individual automation’s run history, or to have admin privileges and see how many runs are left in your quota for that exact live billing period/month. I know it’s probably out of scope for this product to offer as granular of detail on these things as Zapier, but being able to look at run quantities from previous months/billing periods, or being able to see which automations are using most of the runs we have allocated would be really really nice from an operational standpoint!
