Interface - Make features more consistent across all interface 'types'

Michael_Andrew · ‎Apr 30, 2024

What is the proposed idea/solution? Currently, there is significant differences in features across the different interface 'types'. Even among the 'elements' there are differences. For example, you can have a 'list' type (which has 'sort'), but if you add a 'list' element to another type (e.g. Dashboard), you don't get same capabilities (e.g. 'sorting', 'hierarchy'). It's as if all the 'types' are developed separately, and new features are not retroactively added to 'old' types. How does is solve the user problems? These inconsistencies in look and features are frustrating to builders who would expect that features are similar across elements.

What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be very helpful if we could simultaneously meet multiple conditions in an automation. How does is solve the user problems? We often send out Emails to users via automations. The content depends on a set of parameters. At the moment we need to build endless combinations of conditions in order to work with the existing hierarchy of how the conditions are executed. As soon as the first condition is met, all other possibilities are no longer looked at by the automation. Looking at all conditions and executing all conditions that are met would totally liberate the way we need to use automations.

It would be great to be able to embed a webpage into an interface. This would be a great new addition!

For displaying trended data side-by-side, it would be great to have support for side-by-side bar charts!

When in the timeline view, I often need to change start and end times on a record by 5 or 10 minutes at a time rather than 1 hour or 30 minute increments. It would be extremely helpful if i could drag the edge of a record more precisely than the 1 hour increments that are currently allowed rather than having to manually type in the time. Also, it would be nice to be able to zoom in and out of the timeline using the mouse scroll wheel and have more precision on how much time is seen at once, rather than being limited to the standard day or week view.

The new List View is great. But there's no option to share it, as there is with every other view. Can this functionality be added? Particularly hoping for the embed function to be enabled...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Feature to manually select decimal places on a number in Interfaces, similar to the number/format field. How does is solve the user problems? More options to show relevant data, either more detailed with more decimal places or more of an overview with less/none decimal places. Who is the target audience? Anyone using numbers in Interfaces.

What is the proposed idea/solution? It's REALLY ANNOYING having to duplicate automation to account for both scenarios. How does is solve the user problems? It's REALLY ANNOYING having to duplicate automation to account for both scenarios. How was this validated? It's REALLY ANNOYING having to duplicate automation to account for both scenarios.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Disabling an action would skip that action during the automation run. How does is solve the user problems? This would allow me to build out actions, as they are supposed to be, but turn them off so I am only using the actions when I am ready for them. How was this validated? I am currently building out a brand new system where multiple people get notified at different stages of the process. I need to build out the notification actions but I don't want those actions to run, to avoid annoying active users with system testing. Who is the target audience? Anybody that uses automations in Airtable.

I would love to see a detailed change log by Airtable where everything that is added or changed gets documented. Everything. Things get changed, added and improved constantly. Often small and helpful things (that I need) which go unnoticed for quite some time because they are not communicated. I would consult such a change log page every morning before I start my work to see what exactly is new. It could be an improved version of the existing "What's new" page but with every detail, not only three changes per month often published way after the fact. That page is already fed by an Airtable app. So it would be extremely low effort to plug every development team into that tool to communicate changes as soon as they are rolled out.
