It would be wonderful if we could see a preview of a message in outlook that has been attached to a table. I found this repo on github that does exactly that: github.com ykarpovich/msg.reader Outlook Item File (.msg) reader in JavaScript. Contribute to ykarpovich/msg.reader development by creating an account on GitHub. It is already easy to just drag-drop an email into the attachment field, it would be even better to be able to read it online. Thanks for your consideration. ... View more

For these table features: FILTER BY COLOR BY … we currently have the following options, but they do not cater for tables where many records with very similar substrings can be difficult to separate from each other: contains does not contain is is not is empty is not empty is any of is none of … so it’d be helpful to have the following additional ways to filter: “starts with” “ends with” … for example if I have 1000s of records named by format: YYYYMMDD-hh:mm:ss-[0-9][A-Za-z0-9 -] … I would be able to separate records of a particular year from each other by filtering/coloring on name starts with ‘2022’ ...

Hello, Are their any plans in the new future to expand the Page Designer so we can create custom reports with multiple records on one page like in FileMaker Pro? It looks like folks have been asking for this feature for years. Would love to for example create a format that generates a book of all my databases. Airpress is a little complicated for us folks that don’t know how to code. Looking forward to everyone’s feedback. Thak you! ... View more

I would like the ability to perform a “natural sort” that ignores leading articles (a, an, the). (I would like grouping to use the same logic.) The use case is that I have a database of books, and I would like “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, for example, to appear in the A’s rather than the T’s. In Google Sheets I achieve this by creating a dedicated sort column with a function: REGEXREPLACE($B2, "^(A|An|The) ", "") . ... View more

When you start typing in a single or multiple select field, a drop-down appears that shows matching options, or allows you to enter a new option. Obviously this is super useful–the problem is, the behavior of the “enter” key is ambiguous in this context. In the attached screenshot, you can see that if I want to select “ASAP” here, all I need to do is type “as” and press enter or tab. But sometimes this instead adds a new option named “as.” This happens to me almost constantly, and it’s… kind of infuriating. I have to fix the record itself, then go into “customize field type” to delete the “as” option. I’m guessing what’s happening is that “create a new option” is loading more quickly than the match results do? In which case maybe just making sure it doesn’t appear until all potential matches have been checked might solve the problem. But another option that might have additional benefits would be to lock the options so that you can’t add a new option without going into the “customize field type” menu. ... View more

When you link records from one table to the next, you can only see that value/linked field in one color. Blue… If you want to visually see the difference between dozens of values in a table, it becomes visually hard to quickly identify a specific value/linked record. Just like we are given colored options with multi-select and single select fields, we should also be able to have a similar menu to determine what color we want each “linked record value” to be. ...

I’m creating a dashboard of different chart blocks that I want to be able to share with others in my organization. I know there’s a beta feature for sharing an individual block (in this case, one chart), but if I want to share a dashboard (a set of charts) with someone, is there a way to do that? This feels like an important feature to be able to use and I’m not sure how to do it or if it’s possible. Thanks! ... View more

Hi there, I use Airtable as a CRM and as such, I have to write notes in the sidebar (datestamped but non-searchable and can’t be pulled into another cell) or in a Long Text field (no formatting, no timestamps) What I’d like to be able to do is two things - Create individual notes entries, date stamped, editable (including the date and time entered), filterable (user, order etc) and searchable. Ability to pull in notes from all related fields into a single notes field (for example collect all notes from contacts that work at the same company). ... View more

So as it is known, no direct method of creating reports. And before the community replies with suggestions of the Page Designer block, let me clarify that I am talking about MULTIPLE records per printable page to be shown in a report. What I want and what a majority of users want is something that is really quite simple but for some reason, hasn’t been implemented yet. What I would like to see is a report builder feature where it is an exact copy of a selected table in a base. Within this report builder, I may sort, filter, and hide columns to my choosing. Obviously, this may be done in the base itself. But let’s get real, that’s not sustainable. I want a one-click page to show me information sorted as I want without having to re-input all my filters. The report builder feature would allow what is basically a custom view into a printable report that can be customized for viewing ease. Even better, is if that report was able to be viewed in a web page like the form is. That way, the user could save that report as a shortcut to his/her computer station to open as they need without having to re-open Airtable. Or that on the dashboard, a “my reports” option would be available. This would allow for a great time savings in finding information one needs in everyday business operations. I don’t mean to come across as harsh, but this is a huge drawback and even a flaw in the Airtable system. This exact feature could be the turning point of many customers. ... View more
