Custom Record Input Screen


Forum|alt.badge.img+8

New to Airtable. I’m looking for a customizable record input screen and can’t seem to find one, so I guess this is a product suggestion. I’d like to be able to enter all fields in a record on one configurable screen, not have to scroll down an expanded record view or scroll across grid view. Basically a Page Designer for inputting records, not just displaying. When you are finished populating the fields and hit Enter, a new screen will pop up with fields blank ready for input. This is pretty standard stuff in DB programs, I am not seeing it here. Thanks!

I don’t know Airtable’s plans for creating such a view (which if made would probably come as improvements to Forms), but this would make for a good Custom App in the meantime.

Totally what I was thinking. Doesn’t @openside have this on the drawing board?

Thank you very much. It is really my only serious complaint with AirTable. Other than that I love it. Entering many records is a pain having to scroll down a list of fields or tab across a grid view. I’m hoping they will do multiple input screens (1 per view?), but even just 1 with all fields would be an improvement.
Thanks again!

Hey @Jim_Graziano - good timing. It just went into review with Airtable over the weekend. There will likely be some back and forth on things they want us to change, but hopefully won’t take too long to get approved and into their marketplace.

We have started prepping our site to explain what it is and how it works. You can start reviewing it here:

Looking good! Is it likely to follow the same pricing schema as the rest of the offerings?

Is it likely that it will eventually have functionality like required fields, enforce unique, conditional field formatting (even the ability to fill the background of fields with different colors would help), or horizontal positioning of fields in one of the panes?

Thanks @John_Fabrega .

Yes, pricing will be similar to other apps. We will be updating pricing page this week with details.

Those are all great feedback we will incorporate into our roadmap.

Looks like a great app, but difficult to justify for me since I’m a single Pro user, only paying $20+/month. I assume it would add $49/month to my subscription. :frowning_face:

Is there a realistic (or worst case) ETA for Amplify yet?

@Jim_Graziano - We have a starter plan that would work for single users at $9.99/mo

@John_Fabrega - its getting close. In final review phase with Airtable (I hope). Can’t give an exact date since its not up to me, but hopefully soon.

Yes, much more doable! I’m assuming ‘starter plan’ doesn’t mean ‘trial’? That is the regular price going forward for a single user?

Hi @openside,
I am on the trial plan for Amplify. So far I loved it until I found I cannot edit or add new items in single or multiple select fields. I could only select from existing items in the list. I’m sure this is not correct, it would not make sense and makes Amplify totally useless to me. Is there possibly a setting?
I went into Support, it said I could send an email, but gave no address or link to do so. I am trying Chat, but it is 8:42 AM EST.
Also, I would like to confirm the $9.99 single user rate. I did not see anything in the pricing about that.
Thanks!

Hi @Jim_Graziano - you were in the right place for support on our website, i got your message there.

Thank you for bringing up that issue regarding single/multiple select fields - it currently does not support creating new options on the fly. That will be coming in either the next release or the one after.

Regarding starter plan, you can find details here: Starter Plan Details | On2Air Support

Thanks for the reply. What do you think the time frame is for this? It really does make Amplify pretty useless for me if I have to leave the layout to enter data in the Select fields. Maybe I can figure out a workaround for now. I have a feeling I am not the only one who will feel this way!

We may be talking about different things. I’ve moved this conversation over to our support.

While airtable doesn’t have such an option I use a simple screen recording software.
