As a person who is red/green colorblind, it would be immensely helpful to hover over a specific color and see a label telling me what color I am looking at. I find it challenging to select the appropriate colors for single select, multi-select, and conditionally formatted records that make sense to my clients. Another option would be to allow users to specify their own custom color using hex codes. Thanks. ... View more

“Expand Record” would be ten times more useful if I could configure field visibility so that more fields are visible automatically in expanded view than are visible in grid view. I’d like to be able to create compact grid views showing (say) six fields, and when user clicks the “expand record” button (or types Space), the expanded view dialog would show all six of the grid fields PLUS other fields per my configuration for that expanded view. I am aware that there is a button in expanded that says something like “14 hidden fields” and I can click that button to see those hidden fields. But in addition to being an extra pain in the neck, this is less helpful to my users than it needs to be. Airtable often requires the use of utility fields that users never need to view. I’d like to be able to continue hiding THOSE fields, but show others that would be useful to users. I can think of different ways this might implemented. The easiest way that would work for me, would be to have TWO columns of show/hide toggle buttons in the hidden fields setup dialog: one for the grid and one for the expanded view. In other words, add a second column next to the yellow column highlighted in the screenshot below. I do not think it is necessary or even very helpful to be able to show a field in expanded view that is NOT shown in grid view. So if the field is not visible in the grid, the option to show it in the expanded view would be disabled. Nor would it be necessary or helpful to be able to order the fields differently. I’d just like to be able to toggle some of the fields to show in expanded view but be hidden in grid. I’d be very very happy to get what I’m asking for above. But since I’m asking, it would be fantastic if it were also possible to create sections in the expanded view — even if it were a matter simply of inserting a dividing line. ... View more

Our company currently uses the Pro version of Airtable and it would be SO helpful if we could have at least just ONE Other workspace for archival purposes. It’s a bummer the options go from a single workspace in the first three plan options and then goes to unlimited for the Enterprise. This jump is unfair to the growing companies where the enterprise plan doesn’t make sense… Just one additional workspace would allow us to have an “Archive” workspace and separate new projects with past/finished projects that we still need to keep data for and reference. Thank you for your consideration. ... View more

The “find in view” feature could be a lot better. Here are the problems I see: Search text obscures field names: when you click the magnifying glass or type ⌘+F, the text-entry window covers up the field names. You can’t tell what field you’re looking at unless you scroll left/right to get around the search window. Search only returns “perfect match” results: If I search for “John Doe” I also want to see results for “John S. Doe,” “John Q. Doe” and “Dr. John Doe.” As it is, these variants are outside of my search results. Unless I know their middle initials or titles and know that they were entered into Airtable with those variants, I have to search for “Doe” and look through every single Tom, Dick, and Harry “Doe” to find the John I want. Search is limited to a single field: Similar to the above, I want to find a 2016 transaction made by Jane Smith, but if I search for “Jane Smith 2016” no results are found. Search results should be more like filter results: My people table has 5,000+ contacts and three different formula fields that incorporate their name. So if I search for “John”, I find a lot of Johns distributed throughout my base and have to click through “John” three times in each record until finding the one I want. I often end up creating a filter just for the purposes of finding a single record. It’s beautiful the way a filter eliminates everything you’re not looking for and collapses all the “Johns” into an easy-to-scan group of records. But it’s time-consuming to create a custom filter for the purposes of locating a single record. Couldn’t search work more like the filter? Anyway, those are my observations/suggestions. Overall I think Airtable is terrific and I love seeing it get better and better. ... View more

In many different areas of Airtable, important fields have their information completely cut off. You can see this with calendar views, gallery views, kanban views, forms, and linked records. Below is an example of a cut-off linked record. What year is the linked record? Is the time of the linked record AM or PM? What makes this kind of absurd is that Airtable actually KNOWS that these are date & time fields, but Airtable itself doesn’t even give enough room for its own date & time fields to display properly. ...

When sending out records from Airtable, it would be great if I didn’t have to type in the email to send the record/s to. If I have the contact email stored in my table or base, why can’t AT pull that list of emails for me? ... View more

This post inspired me to make this product suggestion. We already have the DATETIME_FORMAT function, which lets us use a formula field to reformat the data from a date-type field into a text string of our specifications. But it would be really great to have that exact same ability to reformat a number field or a currency field into a text string of our specifications. For example, take these 2 fields: Currency Field — formatted as currency with $ sign and precision of 2 decimal points Number Field — formatted as decimal with precision of 4 decimal points If we put these 2 fields into a formula that results in anything other than a single number result, they lose all of their formatting. So instead of a desired sentence which looks something like this: “You bought 0.4500 pounds at $2,200 each.” The formula currently looks like this: “You bought 0.45 pounds at 2200 each.” We can easily add in the dollar sign, but adding in the commas and trailing zeros is harder to do in a calculation. ...
