What is the proposed idea/solution? ... Have the chance to apply different conditions and/or filters to columns (like lookup) in different views. How does is solve the user problems? ... At this moment, the only way to apply different conditions to columns is to duplicate the tables and apply the new condition or filter. If we had the chance to create different views with better control of conditions and filters, we would be able to reduce the number of tables and have everything in the same table but with different views. Why do we need different conditions? if we want to apply automations and scripts is easier if we are able to filter the data and the columns in views. We can apply the automation to that specific view. Who is the target audience? ... Everyone that works with multiple kinds of products, clients, locations etc, and wants to analyze data based on a specific feature.  ... View more

My automations would be much easier to maintain if, instead of duplicating an automation for each possible trigger, I could have an action in another automation that triggered it. For example, I would like to send a certain email any time a button is pressed, and also under certain conditions if a form is submitted. Instead of having two identical automations with different triggers, I'd like to have: one automation based on the button press that sends the email (and does nothing else), and a form-triggered automation with a couple actions (unrelated to the email) and a conditional action that triggers the button-press automation to send the email.  ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? When populating automation filters there is the option for choosing a static value or a dynamic value. This would be great to add ability to switch between static/dynamic values in regular View filters... How does is solve the user problems? I currently have a large number of fields used to compare data in 2 fields and flag when something doesn't match for example. It would cut down greatly on the number of fields I have if I was able to use the dynamic setting and adjust my View filters to say if Field 1 does not equal Field 2, then show in this view.  How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Smaller teams needing to manually QA various datapoints without the need for additional field counts... ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Include interface access on Android phones and permit form creation for any type of phone. Or, making the app available on the Windows store in some capacity for PC users.  How does it solve the user problems? This would make experience more consistent across all platforms. Interfaces are extremely helpful for transmitting information and using on site for a job. We can set up on the back end in preproduction a clean interface with information that is constantly changing. But, when only 50% of the freelancers we hire have the same kind of phone, it becomes a hindrance in efficiency.  Who is the target audience? Anyone who doesn't have a mac or an iPhone. Google Pixels and Samsungs are becoming more prevalent because of availability and pricing, Airtable needs to step into the PC world with accessibility. It will change the user experience dramatically.  ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? To hide the first (main) column of a table in a Grid element. How does it solve user problems? Not all tables' first column is important, especially for tables that mainly connect between linked records. While the first column cannot be hidden on Airtable base tables, it should be possible on the Interface Designer's Grid element. Who is the target audience? Those who use the Grid element on the Interface Designer. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? To be able to group Interface Designer's pages into sections. Additionally, to access them via hover/clicked dropdown or mega menu at the top when the Interface is published. How does it solve user problems? If a user has multiple pages in the Interface Designer, the user should be able to group them into different sections for a cleaner, more organized view. Like data table views having sections on the left, pages should, too, as they act as an alternative to table views. Who is the target audience? Interface Designer users. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? To use other Number elements on the page as a source for a Number element How does it solve user problems? Number element, by itself, can use one table as a source. Still, if I have multiple Number elements using different tables as a source, it would be helpful to get the sum (or other summary types) of other elements, so there's a grand total of some sort. How was this validated? The same idea as how Number elements work, but using other elements as a source rather than a table. Who is the target audience? Those who use the Dashboard template on the Interface Designer. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? A button or link to quickly download a CSV table of the data underlying a chart.  How does this solve the user problems? The chart tools in Airtable are great. However, there are many times when charts need to be recreated in PowerPoint or another program (to customize formatting, to combine with information from outside Airtable, to add to professionally designed reports, etc.). As far as I know, this currently can only be done by manually creating a summary table in the other program – or, in some cases, by using formulas, automation, etc. in Airtable to create summary tables automatically. Both are time-consuming and prone to errors. If a user could instead just quickly download a summary table to paste into another program, it could greatly improve efficiency and accuracy.  How was this validated? ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Currently the filters in Interface for a Boolean filter is limited to "is". The user does not have the option to "ignore the field" by leaving it unchecked . Unchecked pulls up all unchecked records, checked pulls up all checked records. This is too rigid of an option and causes user to get confused by the records they see when they don't check the box in the filter. When you press the "reset" link next to the filter, the user thinks they are seeing all the records when, in fact, they are seeing only the unchecked records. The solution would be to have 2 options for the modifier "is" and "any". The checkbox is grayed out or hidden if the user selects the "any" modifier.         ... View more
