What is the proposed idea/solution? Option to colour table tabs in classic grid view. How does is solve the user problems? As a database grows, there can be quite a lot of tables in a base. Mine has 25 tables that I use. It gets tedious looking for the right table. If there was an option to colour table tabs by topic, it would be much more intuitive to find the right table quickly. How was this validated? From experience - I often find myself searching for a table, especially when I'm working on a laptop screen (13-15'') and not all the tables are displayed at once. Who is the target audience? Anyone with more than 10 tables in a base. ... View more

Views are useful, but sometimes a view needs to have lots of information in it regardless to be useful. Side scrollling with dozens of columns can be unwieldy and difficult to navigate (especially as the user adds new columns in different views, and they automatically place them at the end of other views). Colour coding and/or being able to group columns would seemingly be a simple to implement and very useful functionality. Grouping columns would be nice for tabbing between views and being able to move a bunch of columns at once (or unhide a column and have it snap to it's "group"). ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? This idea proposes more dynamic options for scaling, rotating or providing 'hovering information' for text in Field Headings so they are readable when columns are narrow in Grid View and List Views. Currently text very easily becomes truncated and unreadable. Row height helps with field contents but not Field Headings. Hovering only works if there is a Description in the Field.  Note: this idea is essentially requesting behavior that you see in most spreadsheet programs.    Here is a typical Grid view... When you shrink the columns it looks like this which is too easily truncated and unreadable... Proposed Idea A: Enable hovering context information for all text whether there is a Description in the Field or not.  If there is a Field Description it would be displayed underneath the Field Name in the floating context window.  Proposed Idea B: Field Names can be rotated (similar to spreadsheets). Maybe 45 and 90 (as shown below) Field Names and all other text scales down to ~6 point before it begins truncating. Like the 'In Progress' text below   Overall make the margins in all fields super tight.  Field Row Height can be changed so the text wraps and stacks. (Not shown below but you get the idea) ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? This is a crosspost in the actual 'ideas' forum. I originally proposed this here When opening a record details page (sidesheet/full page), I'd like to be able to press a button to open the same record details but in a different, customized record detail page. I have so many customized record detail pages that I would love to make use of, but the only way to currently do that is in a different interface page, or use the 'open url in record' hack that has to reload the entire page to work, which is a bit clunky. How does is solve the user problems? Simple use case: open record details to view information that is not edit'able, click button to open the edit'able version of the record. How was this validated? I use hacks on every single one of my airtable apps to do this already. Who is the target audience? Honestly, I can imagine just about every interface-builder would use this. It would open so many options. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Please add the ability to request a copy of your responses to the Form builder version of forms. This functionality currently exists in the Form "view" but not for forms built in the Form builder. How does is solve the user problems? This allows users to keep a copy for their own records of forms they have submitted. Our team uses this functionality often from the Form "view" version of Forms, but since Airtable is driving users to use the newer Form builder, it would be nice to see this functionality there as well. How was this validated? Who is the target audience? Airtable builders, Airtable end users ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? A global search bar for Interfaces. This would more than likely be in the form of an interface page but I could see it as a component for a blank interface page. This would pull up results pertaining to keywords with direct links to the records for the available interface pages. How does is solve the user problems? This would allow quick and easy access to various records in one action. ... View more

Airtable finally added this calendar month as a date filter option which is great, however there needs to be a last calendar month instead of just last month. We need to submit every month our expenses from the previous month. So for example today, I need to be able to see all expenses from January (i.e. last calendar month). How it is now if I do last month, it will show me expenses from Jan 14 - Feb 14 which is not useful. ... View more
