I know we can alphabetize all the options in a Multi Select field, but the field itself will display all the entries in the order in which they were selected. That should be an optional toggle, to let it display as it does currently or also alphabetically. When looking at many records at a time, and trying to compare values in a Multi Select field, it makes it very messy and difficult.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Similar to canva, or slack, or zoom, it would be great to be able to switch from one airtable account to another for those of us working on many projects. How does is solve the user problems? Currently i have to log out and log in to other accounts. very annoying. ... Who is the target audience? ...

I love the new forms interface, and I am glad it finally made it in the navigation bar. Now if you could please allow for forms in that view to be segmented into sections that would be amazing. Currently only allows to add new forms to the list, but there is no add section in the Form View column.

There greatly needs to be a filter in an interfaces Revision History. It should show as a pill next to the word Revision History, just like the filter pill shows on the new Record List interface. Or it could be next to the bell icon for changing the watching comments option. This way if you are viewing revision history you can narrow in on a specific field(s) to see only those revisions.

Hi everyone, Pello here from Moonland. As an Airtable Gold Partner, we've developed some highly advanced tools in Airtable, including comprehensive ERPs and other intricate systems. While Airtable has provided us with a robust platform, there's one enhancement that could significantly elevate the user experience: leveraging bulk selection within Airtable interfaces for automations. What is the proposed idea/solution? The idea is to enable the use of bulk selections, made after applying filters in Airtable interfaces, to trigger automations. Currently, bulk selection in interfaces is limited to native functions like deleting rows. Extending this capability to automations would allow for more seamless and efficient workflows. How does it solve user problems? This enhancement would greatly improve the user experience by eliminating the need for cumbersome workarounds, such as using additional checkboxes, which complicate the UI/UX. With this feature, users could quickly select filtered records and apply automations directly, streamlining processes and saving valuable time. How was this validated? The limitation of the current workaround has been consistently noted by users who require more intuitive and efficient ways to manage bulk data operations. The existing process can be cumbersome and detracts from the overall user experience. By enabling bulk selection for automations, Airtable could offer a much more refined and user-friendly interface. Who is the target audience? This feature would be especially beneficial for users managing large datasets or complex workflows, such as people working in logistics or manufacturing (who use Airtable as an ERP). I’d love to hear your thoughts on this idea. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to create more effective tools. Thanks for taking the time to read this post! Pello

What is the proposed idea/solution? In interface page layouts, add the ability to collapse groups so that the header is visible but the fields nested beneath are not. An added bonus would be the ability to select whether a group is expanded or collapsed by default in the page template.... How does is solve the user problems? I have several interface page views that are quite long, and not all groups are applicable to all records. Allowing me to collapse the groups that are not relevant would make it easier for me to see and edit the most important information efficiently. How was this validated? This is generally accepted as useful functionality and exists in other places in the Airtable app. Google docs just recently added this functionality as well. Who is the target audience? Anyone using interface page views with many forms/groups

I'm using interfaces to surface training records for search and rescue dogs. Each discipline (human remains detection, live find, tracking/trailing) has different fields associated with it. I currently am working around this constraint by having multiple interface pages filtering by discipline so that I can have page templates for each discipline. I would love the ability to choose which page template a record opens in based on a condition of the record, so that I can have one page for all records. I think this would be valuable for other use cases as well!

What is the proposed idea/solution? Please provide the option to align the left and right Y-Axis on charts in interfaces. How does is solve the user problems? There are times that you use the left Y axis for sales data, and the right Y axis for target. The purpose is to visualize and compare sales verse target, but this is not effective if the left and right Y axis is on a different scale. How was this validated? By creating a chart with both a left and right Y axis. Who is the target audience? Anyone who is using the left and right y-axis to visually compare the values from the left Y axis with the right Y axis.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Currently in a list view in Airtable, a url field does not allow the url contained therein to be clicked. Clicking in the field only begins editing the field. Because of this, the only way to actually navigate to the url contained in the field is to either click on it from a grid view, or copy it from the field in the list view and paste it into the browser manually. Video here of current list view behavior vs. grid view. How does is solve the user problems? Rather than having to change views or copy and paste, allows the url to be used for its stated purpose Who is the target audience? All list view users.

It would be interesting that when opening a database, the default interface opens with the layout Overview as a home page, with a text “Create your app”. And that the database is accessible from the current menu. I design templates and sometimes it is confusing for customers to see the base directly, they tend to get stressed, even worse if they are users who do not know Airtable.
