Hi Airtable Community! I'm Matt, a Software Engineer here at Airtable. We're excited to announce some new features of number fields that give you more control over how numeric data is formatted and abbreviated. To access these updates, create a Number field or configure an existing Number field.What's included in these updates?Format numbers for different languages. Using the new “Thousands and decimal separators” setting, you can format numbers automatically based on users' language preferences with the new “Local” option. For example, an English-speaking user sees 1,234.0 while a German-speaking user sees 1.234,0. You can also choose a specific format that applies to all users regardless of language preferences. Support for additional languages and regions will be available over the coming weeks.Control whether thousands separators are shown. You can choose to display a number or currency field with thousands separators (1,234,567.0) or without (1234567.0).Abbreviate large numbers. I

Hello! I’m Ayesha, a Product Manager here at Airtable. We’re so excited to announce that we now have Portals available in Beta for customers to unlock guest access for their organization. What are Portals and why would you use them? With Portals, you’ll be able to invite users outside of your organization as guest users to your interfaces. These guest users will see a custom sign-in screen and be able to collaborate inside your interfaces together. We recommend using Portals for key use cases like: Client portals Ex: A marketing agency giving their clients real-time access to project updates and deliverables Vendor management Ex: A plumbing supply distributor who works with major appliance brands and needs to centralize vendor info Customer support Ex: A digital product organization who is giving customers a way to see their roadmap and provide suggestions How do you get access to the beta? If you’re on a Team, Business, or Enterprise Scale account, please v
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. We adjusted our colors because many of the existing colors are considered "inaccessible" when text is displayed on top of them. This means customers with visual impairments ma
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

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.

Hey Airtable Community! We're excited to announce an upcoming change that will streamline your experience within our vibrant community. Effective June 2nd, the Airtable Community will exclusively support login via Single Sign-On (SSO).

How do you swap over to SSO?The good news is that for most of you, the switch will be completely seamless! If the email address you currently use for your Airtable Community profile matches the email address associated with the SSO login you use to access Airtable, you won't need to do anything special. Simply log in via the SSO option, and you'll be automatically connected to your existing community profile. What if I'm not currently using SSO for my Airtable account?No worri
