Our beloved platform seems to ignore thousand of users and so we are still struggling with numbers and the use of comma instead of dot for decimals. To do that, we have to literally TRIPLE the number fields. Even though many have asked for it, we still miss printing an interface. Of course they also ignore many users that need a multi page designer !!! These 3 requests are not new! The first one dates back the first years of this platform. They don't even have an answer for that ! They just ignore us I'd appreciate if I could: Have a Global Field for each table Had more possibilities to edit the text in an Interface (for example: align text) Guys if none of these are scheduled to be fixed then I kindly ask the co-users suggestions for other platforms - data bases.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add an element to the Interface Designer similar to the "filter" element, but for sorting How does is solve the user problems? I have a gird element that many users use. They all look up records differently. Just want the easiest and most convenient way for them personally How was this validated? The Filter element works so well already! A sort by capability would be great too! Who is the target audience? Anyone that have multiple users viewing one Interface

We are currently consolidating our style guide in Airtable. It would be of great help if a new HEX field and a new COLOR field were introduced to use as a design color for fields, text, shapes or backgrounds in interfaces. The new COLOR field would then display the color of a selected HEX field, both in tables as in interfaces. Along that same line it would be great if Admins could define global HEX colors for the entire workspace, so these colors can be used to brand the user experience for everyone. These custom colors would then show up as a custom color list everywhere in Airtable, where colors can be used/selected.

What is the proposed idea/solution? A Project Archive Feature to make it easy to 'deactivate and hide a project when certain criteria are met. An archived project would be grayed-out, hidden completely everywhere in the base or moved into an Archive Table. It would no longer affect any rollups or calculated fields. To make it active again, the user goes to Archive settings, click 'Show Archived Projects' then changes the criteria back to active. How does is solve the user problems? Current solutions only hide the project from view. it is still active and you need to consciously filter it from view everywhere in the base. Or you need to manually copy the project to an Archive table and delete from active which is tedious. How was this validated? No validation has been performed. Who is the target audience? Project managers with multiple projects that have a lot of fields/data. Their organization is known to pause or cancel a project and re-activate it again at a later date. Or they simply want to save old projects for reference.

The issue We're working with list views that show a lot of numeric data for each record. When scrolling down, the header row moves up along with the records, so it immediately disappears from view and all numbers (which don't have any horizontal separator either) become a big blur of numbers. What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be great if there would be options to: Enable a sticky header Show a subtle vertical line to separate columns Color or otherwise format columns How does is solve the user problems? I believe any of the above options would greatly help in keeping (large) list views readable.

What is the proposed idea/solution? In timeline view, the text from ANY type of field should wrap within the box displaying the record. How does is solve the user problems? This would enable users to see more information about each record at a glance without needing to hover over the box or zoom in (which in turn means seeing a shorter timeline and needing to side scroll more).

Would be nice if we could have a way to manually sync a synced base from within an interface - I've designed interfaces for all our team's workflow's, but if you edit data in another base you still need to manually go to the table right click on the name, and click sync, then go back and wait. This is a pretty cluttered workflow to just get updates. Would be even better if there was two-way sync (edit on either side of the sync) and/or constant automatic syncing, but in lieu of those features this would be nice.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Introduce a WIdget for iOS/Android! How does is solve the user problems? We have moved over from Asana, that has this, and team members (especially those who are work on site) need to be able to easily see outstanding tasks/create new tasks on the go. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? When looking at a calendar in Week, 3 Day, or Day view, it would be great to change the hour scale — that is, make an hour larger in the view. How does is solve the user problems? When scheduling lots of records in a very small timescale (<15 minutes) things can get very cluttered, and it feels like we're not using the screen real estate to its fullest extent. Being able to zoom in on the Y-axis would fix this problem. If anyone has a solution for how to view records on a smaller time scale (right now I bounce between a table and a calendar), that would be greatly appreciated.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add a sorting option to the Group function associated the Record List interface (for example.) This option would be available when grouping by a Single Select List and would allow you to order the groups the same as they are ordered in the list. How does is solve the user problems? Currently you can sort Groups alphabetically or reverse alphabetically. This prevents Groups from being a useful way to organize sequential groupings of data, or results in the user including the sequence in the name of the group (e.g. "1. Shutting down warp core"; "2. Disconnecting primary coupler", etc), which is not ideal to manage and may be confusing if the field is used elsewhere in the interface. record_list.jpg shows the interface's record list with the groups collapsed so that you can see the order (alphabetical) single_select_list_order.jpg shows the order of the list and the order I would like the groups to appear group_sort_options.jpg is where one might expect to see another sort option. Tight fit! Thanks for your consideration.
