New: Visual Refresh

Hello! I'm Phil and I'm a Product Manager at Airtable. I'm excited to let you know about some visual design updates we've made across the Airtable product (which some eagle-eyed members of the community may have already noticed!) We released a number of visual updates in the last day with the goal of making it easier and more intuitive for you to build  powerful apps that are not only delightful to use but impactful as well. Most of these changes have rolled out in the last day, and here's a summary of what's changed visually:Fonts used for headings in Views and InterfacesIconsButtons and form elementsCharts in InterfacesComments in Interfaces (coming soon)Color palette used for Base headers and Single select optionsThe updates to colors are notable, and I want to highlight why we've made these changes.

New Beta: More time zone formatting options for datetime fields

Hi everyone! Update 2022/11/02 - The new time zone formatting options for date time fields are now generally available! We’re excited to announce a new beta feature that allows you to specify a display time zone of your choice on date fields that include time and formula fields that output a datetime value. Once you specify a time zone for a field, this time zone will be visible and used for all collaborators. We’ve heard your feedback that time and time zones can be tricky to manage, and we hope that being able to choose from a broader list of global time zones can make collaborating across time zones much easier and clearer for you and your teams. You’ll only be able to use these field-level time zone settings in your base if you’ve signed up for the beta and you can sign up for the beta via this form. As you’re trying out the feature, please submit any feedback/issues here. Read on for more information! For datetime fields, you can access this feature by going to the field configur

Lost two hours of my life thanks to AI airtable onboarding

The first time I decided to use airtable For the purpose of familiarization, I went through the steps of onboarding I chose a template about “cinema” - it drew everything for me, some data had already been entered, and displayed further steps in the left menu (see screenshot)And so I go through these steps, add my data, create new tables and records, and spent two hours on it.And finally, I click on “Remove sample data” in the hope that it will delete all these movie mocks and leave only mine - but alas, it deletes ALL RECORDS ALTOGETHER. All sorts of “Undo”, “snapshots”, digging in the trash - nothing could get my data back. This is probably a message for support, but alas, everything is so riddled with bots that it is impossible to turn to someone for help.

Introducing Pivot Tables in Interfaces

Hi there! I’m Rosalind – a product marketing manager at Airtable focused on helping teams build powerful, custom applications that make work more efficient. I’m eager to share that we have just launched support for pivot tables in interfaces! Starting today, all users on a Teams plan or higher will have access to pivot tables directly in interfaces. What is a pivot table? A pivot table is a powerful data analysis tool for succinctly summarizing and analyzing large datasets. The format of a pivot table lets you rearrange and aggregate data dynamically, making it easier to identify patterns, trends, and insights.  Historically, the only way to use pivot tables in Airtable was via the Pivot table extension. With the launch of this new feature, you can easily add pivot tables directly to an interface page without relying on an extension. How can you use a pivot table? Aggregate and summarize your data.
