What is the proposed idea/solution? At the moment, you cannot readily access the Page Designer through Interface when trying to implement a button. How does is solve the user problems? I would like staff to be able to generate letters in AirTable, but they work out of the Interface, exclusively. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ... ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Create an endpoint to list all automations created under a base. How does is solve the user problems? This would assist drastically with auditing what automations are enabled, where they are, and what they speak to externally (if scripts have been implemented to send data to external webhooks). Currently there is no way to get this information without going into each base individually and auditing each automation. How was this validated? No publicly-accessible endpoint exists to facilitate this functionality. Who is the target audience? Admins interested in keeping track of what exactly is happening in their environment. ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Right now when you search for a linked record, only exact results are returned. This means if I have a record titled "Texas State Fair - 2024 - Food", I cannot quickly grab that record by searching "Texas 2024" or "2024 food" because it's not exactly titled that way. I would have to type it all out, including hyphens, and if I had a lot of "Texas State Fair - 2024 - ###" records I'm going to have to look through them all every single time. How does is solve the user problems? Allowing a more relaxed search, semi-fuzzy of sorts, allows faster searching using the details a user remembers. It's very common to have the primary field of a table be a CONCAT formula to gather multiple pieces of data from a record (especially since you can only search for a linked record using that primary field and nothing else). By allowing less precise searches you can make it easier to find results, and there's nothing stopping a user from still being as exact as possible to further narrow down the results if they want. By loosing the tight restrictions, both types of search can still take place, but in the current design you can only use exact. How was this validated? Heavy use of linked records across multiple bases, and no ability to quickly search through thousands of records effectively to find the one I want unless I know its exact name in the primary field. Who is the target audience? Any Airtable user who has a base with linked records, especially if the base is large. ... View more

Hello Airtable & Airtable Community, I'd like to see if there's support for a kind of Global Element top navigation bar for Interfaces that I can use across multiple bases of my workspace.   For example, I have different bases for: Quoting Planning Ordering Production HR and I'd like a user to be able to navigate between them without going to the Home screen.  I know some users have implemented buttons at the top of the page, but it would seem to me that you'd have to do that on every Interface page (manually create each set of 5 buttons, manually input the URLs).  Certainly possible, but a bit painful to implement.  I have 2-3 Interfaces each with 5-10 Interface Pages, per base.   It would be great to be able to define which "buttons" show for which users based on their permissions.   Thanks for any tips or info on whether this is in the pipeline.        ...

I've been organizing my lessons on airtable. Multiple picture attachments and comments for explanation. I just realized that there's no way to search for a particular comment. I'm lost here after a couple of months into the project. Idea: Search should include comments Critical to collaboration & finding the right attachment.   ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? When inputting a form on Airtable, allow for progress to be saved on that form so that various users can contribute to one same form. How does it solve the user problems? When having forms filled in that requires info from multiple parties, it means multiple forms do not have to be filled in. How was this validated? ...

I know this has been posted many times before, but we need a real solution to allow for grouping by multi-select fields in a way that makes all records associated with at least that value shown in the value grouping.  Yes, this might result in one record appearing multiple times in a grid view. Yes, that is desirable.  Notion users know that this is much more intuitive and user-friendly than the way Airtable handles this behavior.  --- Here's a real example for us: We do project planning in Airtable across quarters. Projects may span multiple quarters (multi-select field). There is no way to view all projects grouped by quarter where all Q1 projects are collected in a single group!  As a designer, it boggles my mind that it behaves this way...   ... View more

For my admin interfaces, I never need a field in an interface to be _not_ editable. Only a few people use these admin interfaces and everyone needs to access everything (it's a CRM). Having to set every single field on every single table and view and every place you ever see a field value. It's really awful. A preference setting or something that makes the whole interface editable wherever possible would be great. ... View more
