What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be very helpful if you could temporarily turn on and off the conditions/settings in the filters, groupe settings and sorts. How does is solve the user problems? If you want to deactivate the conditions for a short time, you always have to delete them and create them again. This is very tedious.

What is the proposed idea/solution? With the recent updates to the Airtable API being more featureful with Record Comments - it makes sense to also give some love to no-code Automation Actions, allowing an Automation to post to the Record Comments, either as an Automation or upon behalf of a specified user. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, for example, an Automation can use conditional logic to email an Airtable operator of an issue with a record. It would be useful if we had other options too, such as the Automation posting to the records comment detailing the problem with that record. Who is the target audience? Any firm using Record Comments will find a benefit from an Automation no-code Action that can also write to a records comments. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Create an extension (or add ability to Forms) that would allow a user to enter in new data once, which would then create new records in multiple appropriate linked tables. For example, currently adding a person, address, phone#, email address would require creating 4 new records and entering each.  Yes, you can do this from a grid view, but each additional linked table makes this very cumbersome. Ideally, you should be able to enter in all the data for one logical record (first name, last name, street address, city, state, zip, phone #, phone type, email address, etc.) and the extension would create a new record in each appropriate table, linking them as needed.   ... How does is solve the user problems? Data entry in linked tables in a PIA, esp the more linked tables there are. ... How was this validated? Very common age-old issue.  Other db products have this capability. ... Who is the target audience? Everyone creating new records with schema that uses linked tables.  (i.e., just about everyone?) ... ... View more

Airtable is a powerful platform for organizing and managing data, but sometimes it's necessary to restrict editing for certain users or categories of users. The ability to block editing at the record-level or cell-level would greatly enhance the security and integrity of data stored in Airtable. This feature would allow administrators to specify which users or user groups can edit or view a record or specific cells within a record, based on the value of a specified cell. For example, if a record represents an invoice or bill that has been paid, the administrator could prevent any further editing by users who are not authorized to modify paid invoices. This would ensure that the data remains accurate and protected from accidental or intentional changes. Use Case: An organization uses Airtable to manage its financial accounts. Once an invoice is marked as "paid," the administrator wants to prevent anyone other than the accounting department from editing the record. The administrator sets up a rule in Airtable so that when the "Status" cell of an invoice is set to "Paid," only members of the accounting department can edit the record. This protects the integrity of the financial data and ensures that only authorized users can make changes. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? What's existing is that when clicking the + button on a "Link to another record" column, it shows a "search box" and we can find an existing record, but you can only search for the linked record's value. It would be more efficient to be able to find an existing record using its other parameters (maybe the four columns that are shown). In the example image below, if I type "Notes C" or "1335", it should show Item 3. What's currently happening is I should strictly type "3" or "Item 3" to get to that linked record. It's especially inconvenient if it's a lengthy SKU or something like "A Very Long Title Like This and That Vol. 3" when I could use that linked record's other columns to find it. How does it solve user problems? It allows the user to quickly find a linked record through other parameters and makes workflow more efficient. How was this validated? The first four columns on the find field are the linked table's first four columns too, so if the user wants to "customize" the first four columns, they can trigger "Limit record selection to a view" when making that linked record column to use that specific view's first four columns. Who is the target audience? Users who use linked records a lot with multiple useful columns. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Make Interfaces available on the iPad How does is solve the user problems? In construction, we use iPads for most of our inspection and statusing. To not have an interface useable on the iPad app is a major barrier to being able to use this in the field.  How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience?

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. ... View more
