We would love for there to be a way to customize the calendar view in a way that would allow us, for example, to track events (records) that are occurring simultaneously across various locations (dropdown field). Kind of like how you can see various Google Calendars side-by-side (which was the workaround we used this year via Zapier). A more specific breakdown of what we're looking to do is as follows: - The ability to create sections within the calendar view based on a dropdown field within the Table. Since we're hosting events across various venues throughout the day, it's vital that we see every event side-by-side, split up by venue to ensure there's no overlap. - When choosing to add other date fields to pull from, it'd be great to be able to customize what information goes into those additional date fields instead of AirTable just expanding the main record. Example: Each event (record) has an introduction, Q&A, and turnaround time. If there was a way to have the calendar show those different start/end times separately, and if we could choose what areas from that record are highlighted, that would be ideal.

I would like to have the chance to automatically attach my page designer block files in airtable. In this way, I can send to each client a personalized document. I can’t do it manually, my database is composed of more than 5k clients. Thank you very much!

(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? Extend the date dependencies feature from only coverind 'date' to also cover 'hours' and 'minutes' How does is solve the user problems? I want to build an agenda for a conference. The records are my sessions (e.g. Keynote 1). Now I wanted to use the date dependency feature to update the whole schedule if I let's say change the duration of Keynote 1. Who is the target audience? Basically anyone who want to build a schedule or running order.

What is the proposed idea/solution? The proposal is to abolish the fees for Interface-only commentor level. Actually, a commentor is a viewer with the possibility to comment, nothing beyond that. No edits, no creation, no management, etc. How does is solve the user problems? It would change how companies (like my agency) can communicate with their clients (specifically those who are not active on a daily basis) or external partners over e.g. the workflow, reducing e-mails or calls. Clients (free of fees) can add records to a base via forms and can read them on Interface, but there is no chance to leave a comment.

Hello,
I am using Airtable for project management. I am trying to shift some of our proposal generation to Airtable and see some promise with the Page Designer Feature.
Just wondering – is it possible to generate multiple pages from a single record? Basically, for each job, I have several components that take up most of a sheet of paper. I need to have a summary table of work to be completed below that, along with terms and conditions.
Our current proposals are 6 pages long using Microsoft Word
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

What is the proposed idea/solution? for better accessibility - please label the colours with text - when hovering over in the base design How does is solve the user problems? 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women have some form of colour blindness - or colour visual deficiency. This means that distinguishing many of the colours in airtable is difficult. Giving bases different colours is great as this is both a visual cue when you use multiple bases and interfaces - and in communicating with the teams that use them - however when some users aren't clear which colour is which (I am one and i develop tools heavily in the platform) it causes needless friction - for what should be a quick fix How was this validated? please see standard accessibility guidelines for using colours and ensuring those with sight problems can see the tools effectively. Who is the target audience? all users and all users with colour blindness - e.g. disabled providing greater accessibility.

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.

What is the proposed idea/solution? When displaying a linked records field as a Gallery, it would be nice if you could right-click the records to unlink them. If 'Link / unlink records' is toggled on, this would make sense. How does is solve the user problems? It's confuses users to have to change views, then right click in order to unlink records. How was this validated? It's always confusing and a bit unintuitive to have to switch views in order to unlink records in the Gallery view Who is the target audience? Probably more geared toward users who aren't as Airtable savvy as us power users.

What is the proposed idea/solution? When creating inline records from the Calendar view, open the sidesheet immediately instead of having to click the arrow expand buttons to actually edit the record. IMO this should be the default interaction if no fields are editable from the interface page. How does is solve the user problems? There's a small hiccup on in-line record creation on the Calendar view if no fields are visible. My users either get confused as to how to edit newly-created records or don't even realize that those arrows to expand records exist. How was this validated? Regular feedback from users of Calendar interface views who express confusion resulting from this interaction. The calendar view is the favorite view from many of my users, but this interaction is a little janky. Who is the target audience? I believe almost anybody who uses the Calendar view in interfaces would prefer this method of inline record creation if there are no editable fields.
