What is the proposed idea/solution? Suggestion of a new view type, Map view, this view would allow me to upload an image file (a map), make records and place the records onto the map. This would be an X,Y, coordinate field within the record. How does is solve the user problems? This would help me when documenting / auditing equipment installed at a customer site! I would now be able to assign a physical location to each record and visually present a map with icons representing each item placed onto the map. How was this validated? I don't know. Who is the target audience? At the moment I am thinking Wi-Fi engineers, but this could also be attractive to anybody trying to record physical location data.

(this is implemented, see paul-morrill's comment below!) I would like to request a collapse all/expand all button in the List Interface. This feature would improve user experience by allowing easier navigation through large datasets, as having numerous expanded higher-level records can lead to excessive scrolling. A collapse all/expand all button would streamline the List interface, enabling users to efficiently manage their data and enhance productivity. Thanks for your consideration!

What is the proposed idea/solution? Many times your summary bar won't give the "bottom line" of a field that the user is actually after. It only allows the very basics like "Sum", and "Average" but misses a universe of options the user needs. For instance, it can not even give a weighted average by taking into account the values of another field. Adding the option (see below) to customize a view's field summary metric (with a basic formula), will turn your database much more useful. Without being able to give things like a weighted average or calculate anything involving another field makes the ability of your database to give insights quite poor. This will solve that: customizing will allow me to name the metric I'm after, and use a formula to determine what is shows. Like below: ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? I wish our fields could be grouped when working in views ex) all pricing fields could be hidden at once, or all visible, with one click instead of death scrolling all fields How does is solve the user problems? We have over 100 fields, many of which have a hierarchical relationship we don't have access to. It makes scrolling through all our fields complicated, and our employees get lost and feel confused. How was this validated? There is an unlimited amount of fields we can add, organizational tools would be very helpful Who is the target audience? Bases with a lot of fields, complex formulas, or multiple teams working within the same table

We have identified a critical need in the Airtable community for more flexibility when it comes to automation and instance limits. Many users, especially those on the Pro plan, are struggling with these limitations, resulting in bottlenecks and hampering their workflows. We propose an ad-hoc automation and instance limit enhancement to address these concerns. What is the proposed idea/solution? Our proposed idea is to introduce ad-hoc automation and instance limit enhancements for Pro users. This solution would allow users to purchase additional automations and instances as needed, without having to upgrade to the Enterprise plan. Users can maintain their current subscription level while still accessing the increased automation capacity they require for their workflows. How does it solve users' problems? By offering ad-hoc automation and instance limit enhancements, users can: Overcome the 50 automation limit that is currently causing bottlenecks in their workflows. Customize their automation capacity according to their specific needs, providing more flexibility and scalability. Avoid building their own software or switching to other platforms, as they can continue using Airtable with increased automation capabilities. Save costs by not having to upgrade to the Enterprise plan when they only require additional automations and instances. How was this validated? This need was validated through direct user feedback and community discussions, where many users have expressed their struggles with the current automation and instance limits. The demand for increased flexibility in automation capacity is evident, with users on the Pro plan actively seeking creative solutions to bypass these limitations. Who is the target audience? The target audience for this product enhancement includes: Pro users who have reached or are nearing their automation and instance limits and require additional capacity for their workflows. Businesses with unique automation requirements that might not necessarily require the full features of the Enterprise plan. Users who are considering building their own software or switching platforms due to the current automation limitations in Airtable. Conclusion: Introducing ad-hoc automation and instance limit enhancements for Pro users addresses a critical need in the Airtable community. This product idea not only provides increased flexibility and scalability for users but also ensures that they can continue using Airtable without the need to upgrade to a higher subscription tier or seek alternative solutions.

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? It seems likely that this is already being developed, but I suggest adding a new feature to the Button interface element (see attached screenshot for expected location) that allows users to apply a record template to the current record. This enhancement would help streamline the process of creating sets of sub-tickets and eliminate the need for cumbersome automation currently in place. How does is solve the user problems? Allows for faster, easier deployment of records in an Interface. Simplifies base administration. How was this validated? ? Who is the target audience? People using Interfaces with a concept of 'sub-tickets' -- probably other use cases.

Right now, it looks the Gantt view only supports Finish-to-Start However, I'd like to be able to track Finish-to-Finish The "workaround" to do this would be to further split by deliverable's final step that is actually dependent on the dependency. However, this generates a lot more data and linkage that makes the everything orders more difficult to both manage and digest Start-to-Start is one I can find some use in, too, but Finish-to-Finish is very common Smartsheets is capable of this and summarizes everything well here: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/765727-enabling-dependencies-using-predecessors

What is the proposed idea/solution? Price per user rather than per Workspace - Or allow better organization, folders, etc within a Workspace. We pay more per user on a Pro plan than we do for our CRM. Yet if we want to collaborate with external parties we need to move the base to a free workspace due to the sharing limitations. We are a small company and purchased pro for everyone - yet it is becoming a mess. We cannot even segment visibility of bases within the workspace from some users, since everyone needs to be a pro for that workspace. Enterprise is outlandishly expensive for small organizations. We are willing to pay for the service, but the limits even on a pro plan are limiting our use and commitment to the product. How does is solve the user problems? ... How was this validated? ...
