when calling up the Find function, it kind of blends into the background and is difficult to see. A more contrasting color or offset would help tremendously with visibility. ... View more

The scroll bars on pretty much all views of the web app are very skinny, but especially the ones used in expanded view which are even narrower (1/8") than the ones used on the main view. This slows down productivity as it requires precision mouse movement and it would be great to have a little bit more width on these scroll bars (say 1/4"). It would take away a small amount of real estate from the rest of the content but provide a nice boost in productivity by requiring a lot less mouse precision. Thanks. ... View more

The problem: the people on my team who do data entry are confused about which fields they should enter data on. For example I made one column for the sole purpose of counting the entries on a separate table. The column uses an IF formula to find if another column has “Paid in Full” selected. While training a coworker she pointed to the column and was confused - why did she have to add duplicate data? It would be awesome if the column hinted that it was “computer generated” at just a glance. Here’s my suggestion: Airtable should use a different font for data that’s produced by a formula or otherwise can’t be changed directly. I suggest a monospaced font that looks “computery”. When something changes that makes a formula-powered filed change don’t just update it instantly. Use the yellow fade technique to clue the user that something has changed https://signalvnoise.com/archives/000558.php If there’s no data in the field already, use a slightly greyed out background so it looks like “nothing can be entered here” ...

I’d love to be able to defer active filtering (e.g. until after field entry). Right now data entry can mess up the workflow because the view gets a refresh during editing of a field that is part of the filter (when the filter kicks in). The rows move up but the ‘old’ filtered row is placed on top of the new selection / top row. The result is there’s no way for the user to quickly update the view. Without the filter users can simply edit the field and jump to the next row using the enter key. ... View more

We would like there to be an option within a group to automatically sort all bases alphabetically. We use the icons that have the first two letters for our bases and it would be great if we didn’t have to manually sort these. ... View more

Hi there! would be nice to have an option to enter the current date as a default in a date field, that would save some taps on mobile devices for data entry. ... View more

I’ve found that in the interest of keeping Data Fields hidden within specific views I am able to create a better overall work flow where by I choose the View related to the input/modification task being performed. That said, I need a way of passing that View identifier to Related Tables so that the expanded information provided is similarly “refined” to the task being performed. This may already be possible and I just cannot find the solution. ... View more

Hi, When 2 tables are linked via a link record you have the ability to create a new record in the target table from the link column in the source table. I would find very useful to be able to do the same when you want to delete a relation between the source table and the target one. In other words, being able to delete the linked record from the link column in the source table. Not sure I’m very clear :confused: Thx ... View more

Zapier is great, but I wish Airtable had integrations with other apps as a first class feature. My boss approved use of Airtable to replace one app we used but was nervous about also getting rid of Salesforce. “Can data feed into Airtable from Salesforce?” Sure, I promised. What I didn’t say is that we’d need to adopt Yet Another Dashboard of an app (Zapier) that has it’s own quirks, workflows, outages, and obtuse privacy promises. Our team needs to be trained on another thing, our corproate card has to be charged by another service , and our password manager would need to secure and share another password. Here’s the model I think airtable should adopt: Gravity Forms connects directly to a dozen popular services. And they enable Zapier for the long tail of apps. If Airtable did the same it would help my team a lot. Specifically I request connections to these: Freshbooks Salesforce Google Sheets Trello Airtable itself! ... View more
