28 00:00:53,240 —> 00:00:54,625 and we were saying

29 00:00:54,825 —> 00:00:56,688 in our small little world

30 00:00:56,888 —> 00:00:58,550 we’re kind of a big deal.

31 00:00:58,550 —> 00:01:03,508 Yeah, in the world of Airtable

32 00:01:04,349 —> 00:01:06,638 I think we’ve been here for a while.

33 00:01:07,440 —> 00:01:09,195 Yeah, so thank you

34 00:01:09,395 —> 00:01:10,543 to those who

35 00:01:10,743 —> 00:01:12,983 participate and chime in

36 00:01:13,183 —> 00:01:14,850 and watch and listen

37 00:01:14,850 —> 00:01:15,734 however you do.

38 00:01:15,934 —> 00:01:17,294 We really appreciate it.

39 00:01:17,494 —> 00:01:19,390 And glad we could be a small piece in

40 00:01:19,390 —> 00:01:22,367 helping you understand Airtable.

41 00:01:22,567 —> 00:01:25,250 So let’s get started as always.

42 00:01:25,250 —> 00:01:26,399 It’s an hour long

43 00:01:26,599 —> 00:01:27,056 session

44 00:01:27,256 —> 00:01:28,444 where we go through

45 00:01:28,644 —> 00:01:30,320 a variety of different things.

46 00:01:30,320 —> 00:01:30,999 I’ll go through

47 00:01:31,199 —> 00:01:32,808 what we’re gonna be talking about today.

48 00:01:32,940 —> 00:01:35,360 We always start with our Round the Bases,

49 00:01:35,560 —> 00:01:37,556 talking about what’s going on in

50 00:01:37,756 —> 00:01:38,850 the Airtable world

51 00:01:39,050 —> 00:01:40,808 and the different communities.

52 00:01:41,008 —> 00:01:42,860 Then we’ll do a spotlight on our

53 00:01:42,860 —> 00:01:44,808 primary sponsor On2Air.

54 00:01:45,340 —> 00:01:46,923 Then Kamille is gonna answer

55 00:01:47,123 —> 00:01:48,571 an audience question for us

56 00:01:48,771 —> 00:01:49,750 on formulas and how to

57 00:01:49,750 —> 00:01:51,918 move a word with the formula.

58 00:01:52,440 —> 00:01:54,894 Then I’ll go through the new forms

59 00:01:55,094 —> 00:01:57,780 in Interfaces and we’ll be talking about

60 00:01:57,780 —> 00:01:59,605 that new release feature,

61 00:01:59,805 —> 00:02:01,144 then a shout out to

62 00:02:01,344 —> 00:02:03,400 join our community and then time

63 00:02:03,400 —> 00:02:05,728 permitting we will have a wildcard

64 00:02:05,928 —> 00:02:08,330 for our last episode. We might get Alli

65 00:02:08,330 —> 00:02:10,169 joining us mid session,

66 00:02:10,369 —> 00:02:12,156 she’s dealing with some

67 00:02:12,356 —> 00:02:14,408 internet outages at her home.

68 00:02:14,740 —> 00:02:16,633 If not, then maybe Kamille

69 00:02:16,833 —> 00:02:18,446 will walk us through us

70 00:02:18,646 —> 00:02:20,200 something that she has

71 00:02:20,200 —> 00:02:21,089 ready to go.

72 00:02:21,289 —> 00:02:23,523 So we’ll leave the last segment

73 00:02:23,723 —> 00:02:25,830 as a mystery to see how the show

74 00:02:25,830 —> 00:02:27,208 goes today.

75 00:02:27,540 —> 00:02:28,589 So let’s get started

76 00:02:28,789 —> 00:02:29,826 with Round the Bases.

77 00:02:30,026 —> 00:02:31,210 We’ll go through a couple of

78 00:02:31,210 —> 00:02:32,418 different

79 00:02:32,420 —> 00:02:33,119 communities,

80 00:02:33,319 —> 00:02:35,223 see what people are talking about,

81 00:02:35,423 —> 00:02:36,790 make sure that you are up to

82 00:02:36,790 —> 00:02:38,400 speed on everything

83 00:02:38,600 —> 00:02:40,665 in the world of Airtable.

84 00:02:40,865 —> 00:02:43,060 First I thought I’d start off

85 00:02:43,060 —> 00:02:43,709 with Reddit,

86 00:02:43,909 —> 00:02:45,598 we have a lot of product features

87 00:02:45,798 —> 00:02:46,520 that got released.

88 00:02:46,520 —> 00:02:48,308 But before we jump into those,

89 00:02:48,340 —> 00:02:50,308 I thought this was a fun exercise,

90 00:02:50,740 —> 00:02:52,104 Kamille, how do you

91 00:02:52,304 —> 00:02:53,822 describe what Airtable

92 00:02:54,022 —> 00:02:55,408 is to your grandfather?

93 00:02:56,940 —> 00:02:59,636 This is, this is from Reddit.

94 00:02:59,836 —> 00:03:01,196 Somebody posted

95 00:03:01,396 —> 00:03:04,190 thinking about using the software

96 00:03:04,190 —> 00:03:05,487 but it seems like everything

97 00:03:05,687 —> 00:03:06,935 and nothing at the same time.

98 00:03:07,135 —> 00:03:07,710 Help me out how to

99 00:03:07,710 —> 00:03:08,554 describe this

100 00:03:08,754 —> 00:03:10,698 somebody and there’s really good,

101 00:03:11,540 —> 00:03:13,208 it is a

102 00:03:13,640 —> 00:03:14,708 tool

103 00:03:15,240 —> 00:03:18,908 to organize your lists of things

104 00:03:20,940 —> 00:03:22,398 and I think that’s as

105 00:03:22,740 —> 00:03:25,658 grandfatherly as I can put it.

106 00:03:26,340 —> 00:03:28,003 Yeah, yeah, there’s some good

107 00:03:28,203 —> 00:03:28,798 stuff here.

108 00:03:28,998 —> 00:03:30,640 People kind of you know related to

109 00:03:30,640 —> 00:03:32,432 them like a place to store

110 00:03:32,632 —> 00:03:35,050 or to keep track of all of your tools.

111 00:03:35,050 —> 00:03:35,508 Your

112 00:03:35,840 —> 00:03:36,808 your

113 00:03:38,040 —> 00:03:40,204 Chris says imagine you’re junk drawer,

114 00:03:40,404 —> 00:03:42,800 now imagine your tool bench. Airtable does

115 00:03:42,800 —> 00:03:43,294 that.

116 00:03:43,494 —> 00:03:44,950 I kind of agree

117 00:03:45,150 —> 00:03:48,467 you have to be a grandpa to get it.

118 00:03:48,667 —> 00:03:49,320 I get it.

119 00:03:49,320 —> 00:03:50,298 I was

120 00:03:50,940 —> 00:03:51,861 tempted to say

121 00:03:52,061 —> 00:03:54,098 it’s not a tool, it’s the tool box

122 00:03:54,810 —> 00:03:56,208 but

123 00:03:57,140 —> 00:03:59,008 I don’t know

124 00:03:59,340 —> 00:04:02,270 I’m supposed to be the metaphor person.

125 00:04:02,470 —> 00:04:05,200 I think every episode since season four

126 00:04:05,200 —> 00:04:07,463 I’ve been shoehorning a terrible metaphor

127 00:04:07,663 —> 00:04:09,450 into every episode and I can’t think

128 00:04:09,450 —> 00:04:10,293 of one now.

129 00:04:10,493 —> 00:04:11,757 Pretty good Chris

130 00:04:11,957 —> 00:04:14,508 swiss army knife of data organization.

131 00:04:14,940 —> 00:04:16,208 Sounds like it. Yeah.

132 00:04:16,540 —> 00:04:17,088 Yeah

133 00:04:19,140 —> 00:04:21,302 too techie to use the word data

134 00:04:21,502 —> 00:04:22,237 from Justin

135 00:04:22,437 —> 00:04:24,510 that’s why I said a list of things

136 00:04:24,510 —> 00:04:26,339 like everyone can make lists

137 00:04:26,539 —> 00:04:28,560 like you write down pen and paper,

138 00:04:28,560 —> 00:04:30,908 your grocery list, your shopping list.

139 00:04:31,540 —> 00:04:32,508 Yeah.

140 00:04:32,840 —> 00:04:34,241 So just a good exercise

141 00:04:34,441 —> 00:04:35,957 if you can explain that to

142 00:04:36,157 —> 00:04:37,590 somebody who you know is not

143 00:04:37,590 —> 00:04:39,063 technical at all.

144 00:04:39,263 —> 00:04:40,755 I think you know

145 00:04:40,955 —> 00:04:44,090 Airtable can be used in for just about

146 00:04:44,090 —> 00:04:45,848 anybody once they understand

147 00:04:46,048 —> 00:04:47,920 what it’s for and how you use it.

148 00:04:47,920 —> 00:04:49,793 So good fun exercise

149 00:04:49,993 —> 00:04:51,917 to start the show off

150 00:04:52,117 —> 00:04:54,850 before we jump into some, man

151 00:04:54,850 —> 00:04:57,417 Airtable has been busy.

152 00:04:57,617 —> 00:04:58,110 They’ve been.

153 00:04:58,310 —> 00:04:59,310 Last week was insane

154 00:04:59,690 —> 00:05:01,362 Yeah. Yeah. So if you

155 00:05:01,562 —> 00:05:03,187 have been on vacation

156 00:05:03,387 —> 00:05:05,740 for a week and you just loaded up

157 00:05:05,740 —> 00:05:07,887 your Airtable this week

158 00:05:08,087 —> 00:05:10,688 it looks completely different.

159 00:05:11,280 —> 00:05:12,098 I think

160 00:05:12,140 —> 00:05:13,645 most are a lot of them

161 00:05:13,845 —> 00:05:15,552 were released last Tuesday

162 00:05:15,752 —> 00:05:16,930 after our show ended.

163 00:05:16,930 —> 00:05:18,608 So like if they were released

164 00:05:19,540 —> 00:05:21,274 like an hour or so before

165 00:05:21,474 —> 00:05:22,879 it would have been us

166 00:05:23,079 —> 00:05:25,020 doing our demo portion of things

167 00:05:25,020 —> 00:05:27,347 and constantly being distracted

168 00:05:27,547 —> 00:05:28,995 by some new feature.

169 00:05:29,195 —> 00:05:30,950 Yeah, we need to throw them

170 00:05:30,950 —> 00:05:33,628 off and go live on Tuesday afternoon

171 00:05:33,828 —> 00:05:35,860 or Wednesday morning. Exactly.

172 00:05:35,860 —> 00:05:38,698 Catch them off guard. Season finale.

173 00:05:39,240 —> 00:05:41,328 Yep. So the first one

174 00:05:41,528 —> 00:05:43,577 was they reorganized,

175 00:05:43,777 —> 00:05:46,698 they restructured their top menu

176 00:05:47,040 —> 00:05:48,785 and we showed a sneak peek of this

177 00:05:48,985 —> 00:05:50,890 because I actually had this I’ve had this

178 00:05:50,890 —> 00:05:52,128 maybe for a month

179 00:05:52,328 —> 00:05:53,810 in a couple of bases

180 00:05:54,010 —> 00:05:56,350 and so now it’s I think everywhere I

181 00:05:56,350 —> 00:05:58,966 think all of my bases at least

182 00:05:59,166 —> 00:06:00,185 have it now.

183 00:06:00,385 —> 00:06:03,240 So now you’ve got this little guy

184 00:06:03,240 —> 00:06:05,108 here, this is the new version

185 00:06:05,340 —> 00:06:06,532 you can now have,

186 00:06:06,732 —> 00:06:09,180 they now have a menu at the top of data,

187 00:06:09,180 —> 00:06:10,983 automation, and Interfaces

188 00:06:11,183 —> 00:06:12,222 and you can now

189 00:06:12,422 —> 00:06:14,300 so automations, you probably,

190 00:06:14,300 —> 00:06:16,307 I know I saw some people commenting

191 00:06:16,507 —> 00:06:17,970 or like where did automations go?

192 00:06:17,970 —> 00:06:19,688 Because now it’s no longer

193 00:06:19,888 —> 00:06:20,963 over on the right

194 00:06:21,163 —> 00:06:22,860 with the extensions it’s up at

195 00:06:22,860 —> 00:06:23,598 the top.

196 00:06:24,440 —> 00:06:26,506 That’s probably the biggest thing

197 00:06:26,706 —> 00:06:29,198 that people might be jarred from.

198 00:06:30,340 —> 00:06:32,624 Yeah, so I made a comment

199 00:06:32,824 —> 00:06:34,070 to this thread

200 00:06:34,270 —> 00:06:37,008 pointing out the stuff that moved

201 00:06:37,340 —> 00:06:40,661 because some of it is not so obvious

202 00:06:40,861 —> 00:06:42,008 like before the

203 00:06:42,640 —> 00:06:44,542 base trash and your snapshots

204 00:06:44,742 —> 00:06:45,558 for your base

205 00:06:45,758 —> 00:06:47,820 were two different buttons there now

206 00:06:47,820 —> 00:06:48,641 the same button

207 00:06:48,841 —> 00:06:50,279 roughly in the same location

208 00:06:50,479 —> 00:06:51,050 they once were.

209 00:06:51,050 —> 00:06:52,215 So I just pointed that out

210 00:06:52,415 —> 00:06:53,367 for people who are like

211 00:06:53,567 —> 00:06:54,320 where did snapshots go?

212 00:06:54,320 —> 00:06:55,405 It’s there, it’s just

213 00:06:55,605 —> 00:06:57,026 you have to click that button

214 00:06:57,226 —> 00:06:58,300 and you choose now between

215 00:06:58,300 —> 00:06:59,308 two options.

216 00:07:01,040 —> 00:07:02,563 And there was other stuff

217 00:07:02,763 —> 00:07:04,390 that I had said and I forgot

218 00:07:04,590 —> 00:07:05,610 like the drop down to

219 00:07:05,610 —> 00:07:07,342 list all of the tables in your base

220 00:07:07,542 —> 00:07:09,106 used to be all the way at the left

221 00:07:09,306 —> 00:07:09,520 much like

222 00:07:09,520 —> 00:07:11,142 it is for the views

223 00:07:11,342 —> 00:07:14,245 it’s now all the way at the right

224 00:07:14,445 —> 00:07:16,180 after it lists each

225 00:07:16,180 —> 00:07:18,008 table name, one by one by one,

226 00:07:18,230 —> 00:07:19,684 there’s that drop down arrow

227 00:07:19,884 —> 00:07:20,862 so you could look at

228 00:07:21,062 —> 00:07:22,280 all of your tables and that’s

229 00:07:22,280 —> 00:07:23,108 one of the

230 00:07:23,440 —> 00:07:25,197 adjustments that was made

231 00:07:25,397 —> 00:07:25,974 that was

232 00:07:26,174 —> 00:07:28,500 I don’t want to say contentious but

233 00:07:28,500 —> 00:07:29,008 like

234 00:07:29,540 —> 00:07:31,000 just sort of recommended

235 00:07:31,200 —> 00:07:32,366 that it be moved back

236 00:07:32,566 —> 00:07:33,920 to where it was including by

237 00:07:33,920 —> 00:07:35,108 myself because it

238 00:07:36,940 —> 00:07:38,411 put it in the same spot

239 00:07:38,611 —> 00:07:39,885 that the view list is

240 00:07:40,085 —> 00:07:41,098 was my point.

241 00:07:42,040 —> 00:07:43,188 Yeah,

242 00:07:43,840 —> 00:07:44,861 yeah, so it didn’t

243 00:07:45,061 —> 00:07:45,917 it didn’t change

244 00:07:46,117 —> 00:07:47,470 a whole lot of functionality,

245 00:07:47,470 —> 00:07:52,108 although I will say definitely in the

246 00:07:52,690 —> 00:07:56,008 in the automations, that’s where

247 00:07:56,740 —> 00:07:59,665 yeah, I think what this

248 00:07:59,865 —> 00:08:02,208 change did it set up

249 00:08:02,540 —> 00:08:02,995 changes

250 00:08:03,195 —> 00:08:05,530 that we’re probably going to talk about

251 00:08:05,730 —> 00:08:07,248 in a second anyway but like

252 00:08:07,270 —> 00:08:08,708 putting data,

253 00:08:09,240 —> 00:08:11,198 automations and Interfaces

254 00:08:11,400 —> 00:08:12,650 sort of clearly defining

255 00:08:12,850 —> 00:08:14,630 that those are three different things.

256 00:08:14,630 —> 00:08:16,608 You’re probably not going to need,

257 00:08:16,940 —> 00:08:17,740 you’re not gonna need

258 00:08:17,940 —> 00:08:18,857 to look at your Interfaces

259 00:08:19,057 —> 00:08:19,950 and your automations at the same

260 00:08:19,950 —> 00:08:21,445 time. So they’ve sort of

261 00:08:21,645 —> 00:08:22,720 separated them out

262 00:08:22,920 —> 00:08:24,810 and gave you the idea there’s three

263 00:08:24,810 —> 00:08:26,498 different ways of looking at your base

264 00:08:26,840 —> 00:08:27,678 essentially.

265 00:08:27,880 —> 00:08:29,708 So that sort of sets up

266 00:08:30,240 —> 00:08:31,853 adjustments that they’ve made

267 00:08:32,053 —> 00:08:33,188 to their automations view

268 00:08:33,200 —> 00:08:36,308 where it’s full screen like it was

269 00:08:36,840 —> 00:08:40,097 two weeks ago but they’ve added some

270 00:08:40,740 —> 00:08:42,400 things to this full screen

271 00:08:42,600 —> 00:08:43,456 sort of layout

272 00:08:43,656 —> 00:08:45,720 they have for automations that make it

273 00:08:45,720 —> 00:08:46,727 easier I think,

274 00:08:46,927 —> 00:08:49,356 to work through different automations,

275 00:08:49,556 —> 00:08:50,890 switching back and forth

276 00:08:50,890 —> 00:08:51,682 between them.

277 00:08:51,882 —> 00:08:53,113 Testing automations,

278 00:08:53,313 —> 00:08:55,700 and then previewing table data as well was

279 00:08:55,700 —> 00:08:56,708 something that they added.

280 00:08:57,040 —> 00:08:57,798 Yeah.

281 00:08:58,540 —> 00:09:01,908 Yeah I forgot they actually

282 00:09:02,460 —> 00:09:04,041 made a separate announcement

283 00:09:04,241 —> 00:09:05,308 for the improvements

284 00:09:05,508 —> 00:09:06,750 to the automations so that’s

285 00:09:06,750 —> 00:09:08,708 another announcement that they made.

286 00:09:09,040 —> 00:09:11,996 So now you can get full screen

287 00:09:12,196 —> 00:09:13,984 of the automations,

288 00:09:14,184 —> 00:09:16,430 it’s quite a bit easier to

289 00:09:16,430 —> 00:09:18,108 to interact with.

290 00:09:18,840 —> 00:09:20,775 I think my favorite change

291 00:09:20,975 —> 00:09:22,338 to the new automation

292 00:09:22,840 —> 00:09:26,110 is the run history is now much

293 00:09:26,310 —> 00:09:28,018 more accessible.

294 00:09:28,218 —> 00:09:30,580 It used to be like yeah,

295 00:09:30,580 —> 00:09:32,720 to jump out and jump back in

296 00:09:32,920 —> 00:09:34,708 to get to the run history.

297 00:09:36,440 —> 00:09:38,908 Yeah, that was my favorite.

298 00:09:39,440 —> 00:09:42,681 Also if you click under configuration

299 00:09:42,881 —> 00:09:44,608 on the right, the table

300 00:09:45,640 —> 00:09:46,279 that thing

301 00:09:46,479 —> 00:09:48,516 yeah it will let you preview your

302 00:09:48,716 —> 00:09:50,430 Airtable data which is pretty

303 00:09:50,430 —> 00:09:50,641 nice

304 00:09:50,841 —> 00:09:52,358 and if you’re selecting things

305 00:09:52,558 —> 00:09:53,632 from a particular view,

306 00:09:53,832 —> 00:09:54,380 it will show you

307 00:09:54,380 —> 00:09:55,184 that view.

308 00:09:55,384 —> 00:09:57,662 Right now, I think it does

309 00:09:57,862 —> 00:10:01,080 the first view in a table if there’s no

310 00:10:01,080 —> 00:10:02,608 particular view

311 00:10:03,200 —> 00:10:05,108 set up in your configuration window

312 00:10:05,940 —> 00:10:07,837 or at least I think so

313 00:10:08,037 —> 00:10:12,408 it’s been recommended that they give more

314 00:10:12,940 —> 00:10:14,174 customization somehow

315 00:10:14,374 —> 00:10:15,152 to this window

316 00:10:15,352 —> 00:10:16,818 that allows you to pick a view

317 00:10:16,860 —> 00:10:17,998 to show which

318 00:10:19,140 —> 00:10:20,991 you know, set of data you’re previewing.

319 00:10:21,191 —> 00:10:21,870 That would be nice.

320 00:10:21,870 —> 00:10:24,198 I don’t know exactly where it would go

321 00:10:24,940 —> 00:10:26,998 but it would be nice to see.

322 00:10:28,040 —> 00:10:29,992 Yeah, for sure, for sure.

323 00:10:30,192 —> 00:10:31,812 Justin also chimes in

324 00:10:32,012 —> 00:10:33,740 his favorite changes that

325 00:10:33,740 —> 00:10:35,292 remembers the automation and action

326 00:10:35,492 —> 00:10:37,110 you were last configured as you go in and

327 00:10:37,110 —> 00:10:38,628 out of the automation area.

328 00:10:38,690 —> 00:10:41,108 That’s really nice because before

329 00:10:41,240 —> 00:10:43,823 because you had to click the back button

330 00:10:44,023 —> 00:10:45,760 essentially to get out of your

331 00:10:45,760 —> 00:10:47,748 automations to go back to your

332 00:10:47,948 —> 00:10:48,948 your table data,

333 00:10:49,240 —> 00:10:50,834 you were effectively saying

334 00:10:51,034 —> 00:10:51,759 well I’m done

335 00:10:51,959 —> 00:10:53,490 and the Airtable had nothing to

336 00:10:53,490 —> 00:10:54,880 remember because you said back,

337 00:10:55,080 —> 00:10:56,538 I don’t want to look at this anymore.

338 00:10:56,540 —> 00:10:58,608 Now that there’s separate tabs

339 00:10:58,940 —> 00:11:00,582 clicking back and forth

340 00:11:00,782 —> 00:11:02,681 between data and automations

341 00:11:02,881 —> 00:11:04,580 doesn’t erase what your last

342 00:11:04,580 —> 00:11:07,099 looked at piece of your automation was.

343 00:11:07,299 —> 00:11:08,520 So now it’s much much,

344 00:11:08,520 —> 00:11:09,271 much easier

345 00:11:09,471 —> 00:11:12,055 if this preview window is insufficient,

346 00:11:12,255 —> 00:11:13,910 you can go back to your full

347 00:11:13,910 —> 00:11:15,189 base, look at all your data,

348 00:11:15,389 —> 00:11:16,794 then come back to your automations

349 00:11:16,994 —> 00:11:17,290 and be right

350 00:11:17,290 —> 00:11:18,098 where you left off.

351 00:11:18,540 —> 00:11:19,088 Yeah,

352 00:11:19,540 —> 00:11:22,977 yeah, I probably will do it that way.

353 00:11:23,177 —> 00:11:25,670 This pop up, I’m not sold on,

354 00:11:25,670 —> 00:11:28,583 it kind of is gets in the way I feel like

355 00:11:28,783 —> 00:11:31,070 I think it’s great if you have a

356 00:11:31,070 —> 00:11:32,278 large screen

357 00:11:32,478 —> 00:11:33,758 I do at work.

358 00:11:33,958 —> 00:11:37,008 So if I’m doing stuff at work, it

359 00:11:37,650 —> 00:11:39,408 it’s super convenient for me

360 00:11:39,840 —> 00:11:41,738 at home, I’m one of those people

361 00:11:41,938 —> 00:11:44,170 where I have a laptop, I refuse to use an

362 00:11:44,170 —> 00:11:46,962 external monitor or double monitors,

363 00:11:47,162 —> 00:11:49,910 so I have a smaller screen and so this

364 00:11:49,910 —> 00:11:51,067 isn’t necessarily

365 00:11:51,267 —> 00:11:52,184 going to do me

366 00:11:52,384 —> 00:11:54,608 a whole lot of good when I’m at home.

367 00:11:55,040 —> 00:11:57,040 Yeah, yeah, yeah,

368 00:11:57,240 —> 00:12:00,263 I don’t refuse, I actually

369 00:12:00,463 —> 00:12:04,100 much prefer multiple screens but I’m

370 00:12:04,100 —> 00:12:05,045 the only one

371 00:12:05,245 —> 00:12:07,408 in my office slowly but surely

372 00:12:07,940 —> 00:12:09,947 It was adding 2nd screens

373 00:12:10,147 —> 00:12:13,158 for everybody and I was the last bastion

374 00:12:13,240 —> 00:12:15,398 single screen.

375 00:12:15,840 —> 00:12:19,355 Nice. One thing that took me a while,

376 00:12:19,555 —> 00:12:23,060 I think Kuovonne mentioned it in

377 00:12:23,060 —> 00:12:24,951 the thread for the announcement

378 00:12:25,151 —> 00:12:26,485 I was like how do you

379 00:12:26,685 —> 00:12:27,880 make this thing bigger?

380 00:12:27,880 —> 00:12:29,263 Like it took me forever

381 00:12:29,463 —> 00:12:30,263 to figure out,

382 00:12:30,463 —> 00:12:32,208 but you got to go up in the corner

383 00:12:32,240 —> 00:12:35,040 to get that drag to make it bigger.

384 00:12:35,240 —> 00:12:37,360 So that is, Kuovonne described

385 00:12:37,360 —> 00:12:38,716 that is confusing and

386 00:12:38,916 —> 00:12:39,610 unintuitive

387 00:12:39,810 —> 00:12:42,008 and I would kind of agree it normally,

388 00:12:42,340 —> 00:12:43,628 you would have it

389 00:12:43,828 —> 00:12:45,598 so you could drag from any

390 00:12:45,940 —> 00:12:47,760 portion of the right side,

391 00:12:47,960 —> 00:12:49,915 right to expand it in and out

392 00:12:50,115 —> 00:12:51,330 and it’s only the top

393 00:12:51,330 —> 00:12:53,112 right corner that you can do it at.

394 00:12:53,312 —> 00:12:55,250 But your intention when you’re moving your

395 00:12:55,250 —> 00:12:55,896 mouse there

396 00:12:56,096 —> 00:12:58,014 is probably to click the X button,

397 00:12:58,214 —> 00:12:59,480 not necessarily to resize,

398 00:12:59,480 —> 00:13:01,127 that’s not something I think

399 00:13:01,327 —> 00:13:02,613 that is very intuitive,

400 00:13:02,813 —> 00:13:04,010 you can do it on the left

401 00:13:04,010 —> 00:13:04,388 side too

402 00:13:04,580 —> 00:13:05,438 at the top

403 00:13:06,130 —> 00:13:06,920 on the left.

404 00:13:07,120 —> 00:13:09,608 I feel like what this window should be,

405 00:13:09,808 —> 00:13:11,330 I think it should be docked

406 00:13:11,330 —> 00:13:11,718 in

407 00:13:11,890 —> 00:13:13,339 the gray background

408 00:13:13,539 —> 00:13:14,496 in the center

409 00:13:14,696 —> 00:13:17,000 for where the automation steps is,

410 00:13:17,000 —> 00:13:17,953 it should be docked

411 00:13:18,153 —> 00:13:19,433 at the bottom of that space

412 00:13:19,633 —> 00:13:20,760 because you can collapse the

413 00:13:20,760 —> 00:13:21,583 automation list

414 00:13:21,783 —> 00:13:22,720 and you can resize

415 00:13:22,920 —> 00:13:24,490 the properties thing on the right,

416 00:13:24,490 —> 00:13:25,708 so you could have it

417 00:13:25,820 —> 00:13:27,428 more or less full screen,

418 00:13:27,640 —> 00:13:29,508 you know, just drag

419 00:13:30,440 —> 00:13:32,286 the right panel for properties

420 00:13:32,486 —> 00:13:34,378 to resize the window of the table,

421 00:13:34,430 —> 00:13:35,498 I think.

422 00:13:36,140 —> 00:13:37,786 That’s how I would do it.

423 00:13:37,986 —> 00:13:39,873 Yeah, and then this would just

424 00:13:40,073 —> 00:13:40,880 scroll above it.

425 00:13:40,880 —> 00:13:43,674 Yeah, I think it’s one of those

426 00:13:43,874 —> 00:13:47,370 where the developer developed it and say,

427 00:13:47,370 —> 00:13:48,684 hey, this is cool

428 00:13:48,884 —> 00:13:49,936 and it is cool

429 00:13:50,136 —> 00:13:51,511 as far as a pop up,

430 00:13:51,711 —> 00:13:53,320 but might not be the most

431 00:13:53,320 —> 00:13:54,608 user friendly.

432 00:13:54,940 —> 00:13:56,698 Yeah, so there’s

433 00:13:57,240 —> 00:13:58,998 a lot of what was added

434 00:13:59,940 —> 00:14:02,554 recently was I think a good move

435 00:14:02,754 —> 00:14:03,623 in general,

436 00:14:03,823 —> 00:14:06,230 but the precise implementation of

437 00:14:06,230 —> 00:14:07,935 it, I think could have used

438 00:14:08,135 —> 00:14:09,135 a little bit more

439 00:14:10,540 —> 00:14:11,808 u x review,

440 00:14:12,340 —> 00:14:14,208 so that might be like

441 00:14:14,840 —> 00:14:15,548 what’s the word?

442 00:14:15,820 —> 00:14:16,598 Subjective,

443 00:14:17,540 —> 00:14:18,722 but there are some things

444 00:14:18,922 —> 00:14:19,532 where I think,

445 00:14:19,732 —> 00:14:20,732 I feel like you should have

446 00:14:21,840 —> 00:14:23,298 done it another way.

447 00:14:23,840 —> 00:14:25,199 Yeah, but that’s not all

448 00:14:25,399 —> 00:14:26,695 there’s even more things

449 00:14:26,895 —> 00:14:28,370 that they added last week more.

450 00:14:28,370 —> 00:14:30,698 Yes, let’s continue.

451 00:14:31,240 —> 00:14:35,608 Okay, this one was released

452 00:14:38,240 —> 00:14:41,242 Okay, so this is a two part,

453 00:14:41,442 —> 00:14:43,708 so maybe two weeks ago

454 00:14:44,240 —> 00:14:46,708 they released

455 00:14:50,040 —> 00:14:52,388 filter options for linked records.

456 00:14:53,130 —> 00:14:54,180 Yeah. So before

457 00:14:54,380 —> 00:14:56,417 it would only allow you to say

458 00:14:56,617 —> 00:14:58,590 the linked record field contains

459 00:14:58,590 —> 00:14:59,730 the words yada, yada.

460 00:14:59,930 —> 00:15:00,847 Which wasn’t great

461 00:15:01,047 —> 00:15:02,120 if you renamed a record,

462 00:15:02,120 —> 00:15:03,534 if you needed to search for

463 00:15:03,734 —> 00:15:04,373 multiple records

464 00:15:04,573 —> 00:15:05,550 and they had different names.

465 00:15:05,550 —> 00:15:08,808 Now, you can select specific records,

466 00:15:08,840 —> 00:15:10,167 much like you could have done

467 00:15:10,367 —> 00:15:12,090 with single select or multi select fields,

468 00:15:12,090 —> 00:15:13,598 but you couldn’t do that

469 00:15:13,640 —> 00:15:15,162 with look up fields before

470 00:15:15,362 —> 00:15:16,142 and apparently

471 00:15:16,342 —> 00:15:18,148 that is something that they’ve added

472 00:15:18,520 —> 00:15:19,278 last week as well.

473 00:15:19,970 —> 00:15:21,434 Yeah. I thought there was

474 00:15:21,634 —> 00:15:22,898 a comment here where they

475 00:15:26,240 —> 00:15:27,208 I missed it.

476 00:15:28,240 —> 00:15:29,716 I didn’t actually check

477 00:15:29,916 —> 00:15:31,335 to see if it was there.

478 00:15:31,535 —> 00:15:33,310 I am sort of assuming that it is

479 00:15:33,310 —> 00:15:33,778 there.

480 00:15:33,780 —> 00:15:35,040 It is, yeah. Okay.

481 00:15:35,240 —> 00:15:37,477 Yeah. So Scott from Airtable says

482 00:15:37,677 —> 00:15:39,240 it’s rolling out today for

483 00:15:39,240 —> 00:15:40,247 look up fields.

484 00:15:40,447 —> 00:15:42,998 That’s what I was thinking too. There was

485 00:15:43,320 —> 00:15:44,508 a week ago.

486 00:15:44,640 —> 00:15:46,421 Yeah. Earlier up in this thread,

487 00:15:46,621 —> 00:15:48,090 I think someone was like, man,

488 00:15:48,090 —> 00:15:49,525 it’d be great if we could have

489 00:15:49,725 —> 00:15:51,008 this for look up field and then

490 00:15:51,210 —> 00:15:53,123 someone from Airtable after that was like,

491 00:15:53,323 —> 00:15:54,323 yeah, that is a good idea.

492 00:15:54,740 —> 00:15:55,494 And then now,

493 00:15:55,694 —> 00:15:57,109 I think like a week after

494 00:15:57,309 —> 00:15:59,090 that person said it, Scott is saying

495 00:15:59,090 —> 00:16:00,664 it’s rolling out today

496 00:16:00,864 —> 00:16:02,586 so it should be there now

497 00:16:02,786 —> 00:16:04,170 for different bases.

498 00:16:04,170 —> 00:16:05,747 Be specific when you’re

499 00:16:05,947 —> 00:16:07,861 filtering by a look up field,

500 00:16:08,061 —> 00:16:09,380 which is very useful if

501 00:16:09,380 —> 00:16:10,208 you have

502 00:16:10,740 —> 00:16:12,105 you know, linked records

503 00:16:12,305 —> 00:16:13,277 from another table

504 00:16:13,477 —> 00:16:14,950 and you want to filter a subset

505 00:16:14,950 —> 00:16:18,608 in the parents table, if you will

506 00:16:19,370 —> 00:16:20,808 it I think it’s a great feature.

507 00:16:21,240 —> 00:16:22,835 Yeah. Yeah. Very cool.

508 00:16:23,035 —> 00:16:24,223 Good stuff there.

509 00:16:24,423 —> 00:16:26,460 So yeah, we’ll maybe do an

510 00:16:26,460 —> 00:16:27,373 example of that

511 00:16:27,573 —> 00:16:28,864 in the future episode.

512 00:16:29,064 —> 00:16:31,270 But that’s good. So worth knowing because

513 00:16:31,270 —> 00:16:32,389 I don’t think they made

514 00:16:32,589 —> 00:16:33,960 like a top level announcement.

515 00:16:34,160 —> 00:16:34,920 This was just kind of

516 00:16:34,920 —> 00:16:36,432 buried in this thread.

517 00:16:36,632 —> 00:16:38,622 So I wanted to point that out.

518 00:16:38,822 —> 00:16:40,280 Yeah. Some things got top

519 00:16:40,280 —> 00:16:41,817 level announcements last week

520 00:16:42,017 —> 00:16:42,685 and some didn’t

521 00:16:42,885 —> 00:16:43,620 the major things did,

522 00:16:43,620 —> 00:16:44,118 but

523 00:16:44,640 —> 00:16:45,786 I don’t think everything

524 00:16:45,986 —> 00:16:47,242 we’re gonna talk about today

525 00:16:47,442 —> 00:16:48,440 has like a thread on the forums

526 00:16:48,640 —> 00:16:51,358 Yeah, Alright, next big one.

527 00:16:51,558 —> 00:16:54,276 Forms in Interface Designer

528 00:16:54,476 —> 00:16:56,290 and we’re gonna do a

529 00:16:56,290 —> 00:16:57,544 deep dive into this.

530 00:16:57,744 —> 00:16:59,793 So I’m gonna do a segment on this.

531 00:16:59,993 —> 00:17:01,180 So we won’t talk too

532 00:17:01,180 —> 00:17:02,134 much about it

533 00:17:02,334 —> 00:17:04,381 other than to make you aware.

534 00:17:04,581 —> 00:17:05,510 So that is cool,

535 00:17:05,510 —> 00:17:07,318 Interface is improving.

536 00:17:08,839 —> 00:17:11,134 Yeah. One of the hardest things

537 00:17:11,334 —> 00:17:12,118 before this

538 00:17:12,318 —> 00:17:14,540 was to create a new record from an

539 00:17:14,540 —> 00:17:16,967 Interface, you typically had to do

540 00:17:17,167 —> 00:17:18,608 some sort of automation

541 00:17:19,440 —> 00:17:20,318 magic

542 00:17:20,640 —> 00:17:21,608 that would

543 00:17:22,040 —> 00:17:23,404 fire off in the background

544 00:17:23,604 —> 00:17:25,240 and you have to wait for, you know,

545 00:17:25,240 —> 00:17:26,385 a minute or so

546 00:17:26,585 —> 00:17:29,818 before the new record was able to show up.

547 00:17:30,140 —> 00:17:31,899 And now there are Forms

548 00:17:32,099 —> 00:17:35,110 which can either have it as a stand alone,

549 00:17:35,110 —> 00:17:36,802 like page in your Interface

550 00:17:37,002 —> 00:17:37,362 set up

551 00:17:37,562 —> 00:17:38,924 where the page is a form

552 00:17:39,124 —> 00:17:40,060 and that’s all it is

553 00:17:40,060 —> 00:17:44,108 or if you have a record list component,

554 00:17:44,440 —> 00:17:46,178 you could now click a plus button

555 00:17:46,378 —> 00:17:47,662 and it will open up a form

556 00:17:47,862 —> 00:17:48,600 in like a model so

557 00:17:48,600 —> 00:17:49,762 you can add records

558 00:17:49,962 —> 00:17:51,598 in a couple of different ways.

559 00:17:52,040 —> 00:17:52,588 Yeah,

560 00:17:53,140 —> 00:17:55,889 yeah, yeah. There’s a lot of commentary

561 00:17:56,090 —> 00:17:58,498 on this one. I actually realizing I’m

562 00:17:58,930 —> 00:18:00,008 way behind on

563 00:18:00,440 —> 00:18:01,801 seeing what people are saying.

564 00:18:02,001 —> 00:18:03,480 So I need to catch up on this thread.

565 00:18:03,480 —> 00:18:04,370 So there’s

566 00:18:04,570 —> 00:18:07,797 what people are saying in this thread

567 00:18:07,997 —> 00:18:09,890 is there are some things

568 00:18:09,890 —> 00:18:11,503 that a form view does

569 00:18:11,703 —> 00:18:14,498 that The forms in Interfaces can’t do

570 00:18:16,020 —> 00:18:18,800 I don’t know if you can pre fill

571 00:18:19,000 —> 00:18:20,538 a form in Interface.

572 00:18:20,940 —> 00:18:21,908 I

573 00:18:22,540 —> 00:18:24,759 I am unsure if you can redirect

574 00:18:24,959 —> 00:18:27,408 after an Interface form has been done,

575 00:18:27,740 —> 00:18:28,898 things of that sort

576 00:18:29,530 —> 00:18:30,348 and then there’s

577 00:18:30,740 —> 00:18:31,532 the other way around,

578 00:18:31,732 —> 00:18:32,842 there’s things that you could do

579 00:18:33,042 —> 00:18:33,570 in Interface Designer

580 00:18:33,570 —> 00:18:35,408 that you can’t do in

581 00:18:36,140 —> 00:18:36,840 a form view.

582 00:18:37,040 —> 00:18:38,108 One thing I noticed

583 00:18:38,308 —> 00:18:39,635 when I was testing it out

584 00:18:39,835 —> 00:18:40,750 and we’ll get to this

585 00:18:40,750 —> 00:18:43,052 in a later segment of the show

586 00:18:43,252 —> 00:18:45,508 was what I want to do is pull in

587 00:18:45,940 —> 00:18:47,218 if I have

588 00:18:47,740 —> 00:18:51,206 a Interface page for a particular project

589 00:18:51,406 —> 00:18:54,080 and I want to add a linked task to

590 00:18:54,080 —> 00:18:54,855 that project.

591 00:18:55,055 —> 00:18:56,635 I want it to be able to read

592 00:18:56,835 —> 00:18:58,610 the Interface page and currently on

593 00:18:58,610 —> 00:19:00,971 and say link this to the current project.

594 00:19:01,171 —> 00:19:03,160 I haven’t figured out a way to do that

595 00:19:03,160 —> 00:19:05,218 yet in Interface forms.

596 00:19:05,640 —> 00:19:07,119 No. Yeah, and we’ll

597 00:19:07,319 —> 00:19:09,051 we’ll talk a little bit

598 00:19:09,251 —> 00:19:11,010 about that in the segment.

599 00:19:11,010 —> 00:19:13,075 So Okay, so more to come

600 00:19:13,275 —> 00:19:13,947 on forms.

601 00:19:14,147 —> 00:19:15,367 Let’s move on to

602 00:19:15,567 —> 00:19:17,808 the next top level announcement.

603 00:19:18,140 —> 00:19:20,108 Quick groups,

604 00:19:21,570 —> 00:19:23,475 what are quick groups?

605 00:19:23,675 —> 00:19:25,612 So before when you were

606 00:19:25,812 —> 00:19:27,718 trying to filter or group

607 00:19:28,040 —> 00:19:29,399 a view in Airtable,

608 00:19:29,599 —> 00:19:31,865 it would just show you a scroll

609 00:19:32,065 —> 00:19:33,620 of a list of every field

610 00:19:33,620 —> 00:19:34,357 in your table.

611 00:19:34,557 —> 00:19:36,013 And I think the maximum fields

612 00:19:36,213 —> 00:19:37,570 you could have your table don’t

613 00:19:37,570 —> 00:19:39,114 quote me is 500.

614 00:19:39,314 —> 00:19:41,588 So there are some people

615 00:19:41,788 —> 00:19:45,000 who have a lot a lot a lot of fields

616 00:19:45,000 —> 00:19:46,533 that are somewhat similar.

617 00:19:46,733 —> 00:19:48,008 A lot of formulas and not

618 00:19:48,740 —> 00:19:50,605 not anything you’d ever really

619 00:19:50,805 —> 00:19:52,408 want to group by necessarily.

620 00:19:52,840 —> 00:19:55,498 What Airtable did was they now

621 00:19:55,940 —> 00:19:57,845 when you’re creating a brand new,

622 00:19:58,045 —> 00:19:59,058 there’s no groups yet

623 00:19:59,090 —> 00:20:00,268 for that

624 00:20:00,400 —> 00:20:01,208 view.

625 00:20:01,540 —> 00:20:02,757 It will show you

626 00:20:02,957 —> 00:20:04,358 the types of fields

627 00:20:04,558 —> 00:20:06,940 that you probably want to group by.

628 00:20:06,940 —> 00:20:07,434 Probably

629 00:20:07,634 —> 00:20:09,657 you don’t have to pick those fields,

630 00:20:09,857 —> 00:20:11,710 you could click the see all and

631 00:20:11,710 —> 00:20:12,724 look through and sort

632 00:20:12,924 —> 00:20:14,560 for the one you’re looking for.

633 00:20:14,560 —> 00:20:15,898 But I think the ones

634 00:20:16,440 —> 00:20:17,108 it

635 00:20:18,440 —> 00:20:19,559 guesses are the ones

636 00:20:19,759 —> 00:20:20,913 you want to filter by.

637 00:20:21,113 —> 00:20:21,910 Are single selects,

638 00:20:21,910 —> 00:20:22,988 multi selects,

639 00:20:23,070 —> 00:20:24,328 linked records,

640 00:20:25,040 —> 00:20:26,500 and maybe check box.

641 00:20:26,700 —> 00:20:28,680 I think those are the fields

642 00:20:28,880 —> 00:20:30,660 types that it’s guessing you

643 00:20:30,660 —> 00:20:31,927 probably want to group by

644 00:20:32,127 —> 00:20:33,459 because those are the fields

645 00:20:33,659 —> 00:20:34,410 you probably want to

646 00:20:34,410 —> 00:20:35,108 group by.

647 00:20:36,640 —> 00:20:37,608 Yeah, yeah.

648 00:20:38,140 —> 00:20:39,808 So yeah, it’s just kind of

649 00:20:40,140 —> 00:20:41,346 quick group by.

650 00:20:41,546 —> 00:20:44,132 Yeah, it’s just to save you time.

651 00:20:44,332 —> 00:20:46,170 It’s not necessarily a new

652 00:20:46,170 —> 00:20:49,218 feature. It’s a new way of presenting

653 00:20:49,640 —> 00:20:51,576 the ability to group and

654 00:20:51,776 —> 00:20:53,853 so far the past few times

655 00:20:54,053 —> 00:20:55,610 I’ve tried to group by

656 00:20:55,610 —> 00:20:56,180 something,

657 00:20:56,380 —> 00:20:58,116 the field I was trying to group by

658 00:20:58,316 —> 00:21:00,010 or the very least the field type I

659 00:21:00,010 —> 00:21:02,588 was trying to group, I was in fact what

660 00:21:02,680 —> 00:21:03,851 Airtable guessed so

661 00:21:04,051 —> 00:21:06,008 they probably did a bunch of like

662 00:21:06,208 —> 00:21:07,550 user research or something

663 00:21:07,550 —> 00:21:09,308 and figure it out when people are

664 00:21:09,340 —> 00:21:11,223 mostly grouping by single selects.

665 00:21:11,423 —> 00:21:12,400 So let’s just,

666 00:21:12,600 —> 00:21:13,943 they’re probably not going to

667 00:21:14,143 —> 00:21:15,143 group by a date because

668 00:21:15,440 —> 00:21:16,948 if you wanted a group by date,

669 00:21:17,148 —> 00:21:18,320 you probably want a group

670 00:21:18,520 —> 00:21:19,210 more so by like the

671 00:21:19,210 —> 00:21:20,337 month or the year,

672 00:21:20,537 —> 00:21:22,459 not necessarily the precise date

673 00:21:22,659 —> 00:21:23,780 and definitely not the

674 00:21:23,780 —> 00:21:25,318 precise time. So

675 00:21:25,840 —> 00:21:26,298 yeah.

676 00:21:27,040 —> 00:21:29,880 Yeah. The interesting thing

677 00:21:30,080 —> 00:21:32,043 I got from this was

678 00:21:32,243 —> 00:21:35,350 the Sean mentions that there’s a

679 00:21:35,350 —> 00:21:36,603 team focused on just

680 00:21:36,803 —> 00:21:37,945 these little things

681 00:21:38,145 —> 00:21:40,110 that make Airtable easier to use for

682 00:21:40,110 —> 00:21:42,737 everyone. And I think probably

683 00:21:42,937 —> 00:21:43,682 his team

684 00:21:43,882 —> 00:21:46,940 created that add button that made a

685 00:21:46,940 —> 00:21:48,557 quick pop up to like what,

686 00:21:48,757 —> 00:21:50,920 what do you want to add at the bottom,

687 00:21:50,920 —> 00:21:53,508 they modified the add new button.

688 00:21:53,740 —> 00:21:55,543 Things like that are probably

689 00:21:55,743 —> 00:21:57,408 this team’s responsibility. So

690 00:21:57,740 —> 00:21:58,748 also to point out

691 00:21:58,948 —> 00:22:00,594 all of the announcement posts

692 00:22:00,794 —> 00:22:02,070 we’ve gone through so far,

693 00:22:02,070 —> 00:22:03,593 I’m pretty sure we’re posted by

694 00:22:03,793 —> 00:22:05,460 different people who work at Airtable,

695 00:22:05,460 —> 00:22:06,214 which is

696 00:22:06,414 —> 00:22:09,608 not how it used to be. It used to be

697 00:22:10,440 —> 00:22:12,008 one particular person

698 00:22:12,540 —> 00:22:13,508 and then

699 00:22:14,500 —> 00:22:15,052 It used to be,

700 00:22:15,252 —> 00:22:16,738 it used to be like three different people

701 00:22:16,938 —> 00:22:17,100 who would,

702 00:22:17,100 —> 00:22:18,378 who would do it. one

703 00:22:18,940 —> 00:22:19,572 was always

704 00:22:19,772 —> 00:22:21,462 anything that had to do with

705 00:22:21,662 —> 00:22:22,662 advancements in the

706 00:22:23,840 —> 00:22:25,041 custom blocks SDK

707 00:22:25,241 —> 00:22:27,844 that would always come from one person

708 00:22:28,044 —> 00:22:29,420 on their developer side

709 00:22:29,420 —> 00:22:31,019 and then normal announcements

710 00:22:31,219 —> 00:22:33,280 would come from someone else at Airtable.

711 00:22:33,280 —> 00:22:35,097 And now that Jordan’s joined the team,

712 00:22:35,297 —> 00:22:36,818 a lot of the announcements have come

713 00:22:37,210 —> 00:22:38,358 posted by Jordan,

714 00:22:38,400 —> 00:22:39,908 but the last week

715 00:22:40,240 —> 00:22:42,607 I think all of the announcements

716 00:22:42,807 —> 00:22:44,308 were done by people who

717 00:22:44,940 —> 00:22:47,453 worked on that particular feature,

718 00:22:47,653 —> 00:22:48,118 which is,

719 00:22:48,200 —> 00:22:49,718 I don’t know, a fun,

720 00:22:51,240 —> 00:22:53,948 a fun add on a that there’s more people

721 00:22:54,050 —> 00:22:55,375 that are interacting

722 00:22:55,575 —> 00:22:56,898 with the forum and then

723 00:22:57,240 —> 00:22:58,728 as we saw with this one

724 00:22:58,928 —> 00:23:01,380 Scott and someone else, I think Tim Dang,

725 00:23:01,380 —> 00:23:02,593 if I’m not mistaken,

726 00:23:02,793 —> 00:23:04,713 commented on one of these threads

727 00:23:04,913 —> 00:23:06,110 and said actually that’s

728 00:23:06,110 —> 00:23:06,912 a good idea,

729 00:23:07,112 —> 00:23:08,661 we might consider adding

730 00:23:08,861 —> 00:23:10,920 that feature. In the following week,

731 00:23:10,920 —> 00:23:12,237 they added that feature,

732 00:23:12,437 —> 00:23:13,841 so we’re seeing more people

733 00:23:14,041 —> 00:23:15,090 behind the scenes at Airtable

734 00:23:15,840 —> 00:23:17,030 at least have their eyes

735 00:23:17,230 —> 00:23:18,392 on what people are saying

736 00:23:18,592 —> 00:23:19,508 in the community because

737 00:23:19,640 —> 00:23:21,025 sometimes it felt like we would

738 00:23:21,225 —> 00:23:22,578 just sort of speak into the void

739 00:23:22,778 —> 00:23:23,170 and it doesn’t

740 00:23:23,170 —> 00:23:24,315 necessarily feel

741 00:23:24,515 —> 00:23:26,318 so much like that last week.

742 00:23:27,040 —> 00:23:30,996 Yeah, so shout out to Rotimi,

743 00:23:31,196 —> 00:23:32,930 Helen, Scott,

744 00:23:33,130 —> 00:23:36,930 Emily and Sean for joining the

745 00:23:36,930 —> 00:23:38,846 community and participating.

746 00:23:39,046 —> 00:23:41,720 I believe the community benefits from more

747 00:23:41,720 —> 00:23:44,398 interaction with Airtable employees.

748 00:23:44,840 —> 00:23:45,558 Yeah, we can’t,

749 00:23:45,758 —> 00:23:46,803 sometimes it feels like

750 00:23:47,003 —> 00:23:48,008 we’re yelling at Jordan

751 00:23:48,208 —> 00:23:48,620 and that’s not

752 00:23:48,620 —> 00:23:49,960 what we’re trying to do,

753 00:23:50,160 —> 00:23:51,696 it’s just because she happens

754 00:23:51,896 —> 00:23:52,896 to be there most often.

755 00:23:53,640 —> 00:23:54,868 Well, yeah, only in

756 00:23:54,930 —> 00:23:57,708 specific instances that we were yelling

757 00:23:59,040 —> 00:24:00,226 at someone else

758 00:24:00,426 —> 00:24:03,210 and Jordan happened to be in the way.

759 00:24:03,410 —> 00:24:04,410 Yeah, I’m sorry

760 00:24:04,740 —> 00:24:05,807 now we can yell

761 00:24:06,007 —> 00:24:08,298 directly at the right person. Yeah,

762 00:24:08,740 —> 00:24:09,539 but there was there

763 00:24:09,739 —> 00:24:10,794 wasn’t much yelling at all,

764 00:24:10,994 —> 00:24:11,850 like I said there were some

765 00:24:11,850 —> 00:24:13,063 things that were,

766 00:24:13,263 —> 00:24:15,611 I would tackle certain adjustments

767 00:24:15,811 —> 00:24:17,130 to the Ui differently,

768 00:24:17,130 —> 00:24:18,216 but I think most people

769 00:24:18,416 —> 00:24:19,616 across the board were like,

770 00:24:19,816 —> 00:24:20,860 yeah this is a good at least

771 00:24:20,860 —> 00:24:22,020 it’s a good direction

772 00:24:22,220 —> 00:24:23,853 or I like that you’re improving

773 00:24:24,053 —> 00:24:25,170 this piece of the product

774 00:24:25,170 —> 00:24:26,164 or that kind of thing.

775 00:24:26,364 —> 00:24:27,462 That’s sort of the general

776 00:24:27,662 —> 00:24:28,560 consensus across the

777 00:24:28,560 —> 00:24:29,218 past

778 00:24:29,740 —> 00:24:31,224 4 or 5 announcement threads

779 00:24:31,424 —> 00:24:32,818 that we’ve just gone through.

780 00:24:33,540 —> 00:24:34,640 Yeah. Cool.

781 00:24:34,840 —> 00:24:37,204 One more feature release

782 00:24:37,404 —> 00:24:41,340 that did not as far as I know did not make

783 00:24:41,340 —> 00:24:42,478 a top level.

784 00:24:42,678 —> 00:24:44,339 This was found by

785 00:24:44,539 —> 00:24:48,640 Jason Martin in the BuiltOnAir community

786 00:24:48,640 —> 00:24:51,408 so shout out, thanks for bringing this up.

787 00:24:51,440 —> 00:24:53,407 This is kind of cool.

788 00:24:53,607 —> 00:24:56,498 This used groups if any option

789 00:24:56,940 —> 00:24:59,718 and this is on

790 00:25:00,240 —> 00:25:01,490 table listings.

791 00:25:01,690 —> 00:25:04,329 So this is inside of automations,

792 00:25:04,529 —> 00:25:06,408 if you’re like inserting a

793 00:25:06,740 —> 00:25:09,255 linked record list

794 00:25:09,455 —> 00:25:14,308 or a table list from from a search.

795 00:25:14,508 —> 00:25:17,220 This allows you to

796 00:25:17,220 —> 00:25:19,593 insert tables that are grouped

797 00:25:19,793 —> 00:25:21,785 that the table is actually

798 00:25:21,985 —> 00:25:23,470 in the email body will

799 00:25:23,470 —> 00:25:26,008 group based off of the group settings.

800 00:25:26,440 —> 00:25:27,408 That’s useful.

801 00:25:27,740 —> 00:25:29,789 I imagine for find records

802 00:25:29,989 —> 00:25:32,356 because you can do find records

803 00:25:32,556 —> 00:25:33,730 based on condition

804 00:25:33,730 —> 00:25:35,962 or find records based on view.

805 00:25:36,162 —> 00:25:38,313 I’m assuming that’s only there

806 00:25:38,513 —> 00:25:39,460 for find records

807 00:25:39,460 —> 00:25:40,289 based on view

808 00:25:40,489 —> 00:25:42,279 because if it were condition,

809 00:25:42,479 —> 00:25:44,500 how would it know which view to pull

810 00:25:44,500 —> 00:25:45,120 groups from?

811 00:25:45,320 —> 00:25:46,385 You could have a bunch

812 00:25:46,585 —> 00:25:47,498 of different views that

813 00:25:47,540 —> 00:25:49,118 have groups set up differently.

814 00:25:49,540 —> 00:25:50,897 It’d be great if you could

815 00:25:51,097 —> 00:25:52,880 control it from here from this window,

816 00:25:52,880 —> 00:25:53,756 use groups if any,

817 00:25:53,956 —> 00:25:55,107 and then like a drop down

818 00:25:55,307 —> 00:25:56,580 or something for a pic of you to

819 00:25:56,580 —> 00:25:57,508 control the groups.

820 00:25:57,940 —> 00:25:58,778 But it’s

821 00:25:58,950 —> 00:26:00,408 super useful for

822 00:26:01,040 —> 00:26:03,658 organizing your information

823 00:26:03,660 —> 00:26:04,328 in

824 00:26:04,400 —> 00:26:05,818 in an email or

825 00:26:06,240 —> 00:26:07,718 you probably do

826 00:26:09,040 —> 00:26:09,828 this

827 00:26:10,050 —> 00:26:10,818 in

828 00:26:11,140 —> 00:26:11,818 this.

829 00:26:13,240 —> 00:26:14,752 This is the send email action.

830 00:26:14,952 —> 00:26:15,940 You could probably do

831 00:26:16,140 —> 00:26:17,070 the same thing in the

832 00:26:17,070 —> 00:26:17,622 gmail action

833 00:26:17,822 —> 00:26:18,957 and some of the other ones

834 00:26:19,157 —> 00:26:20,660 that like you just insert a whole bunch

835 00:26:20,660 —> 00:26:21,438 of text.

836 00:26:21,590 —> 00:26:23,608 Really nice.

837 00:26:23,940 —> 00:26:25,947 So yeah, that’s a nice little.

838 00:26:26,147 —> 00:26:27,742 I don’t think that’s been

839 00:26:27,942 —> 00:26:30,889 mentioned from Airtable anywhere. So

840 00:26:31,089 —> 00:26:31,965 hidden gem.

841 00:26:32,165 —> 00:26:35,310 Maybe it might still be in a b testing.

842 00:26:35,310 —> 00:26:36,814 I haven’t confirmed to see

843 00:26:37,014 —> 00:26:38,318 if I’ve got that anywhere.

844 00:26:40,140 —> 00:26:41,573 There is one more

845 00:26:41,773 —> 00:26:44,898 that I don’t have a direct link to it.

846 00:26:45,098 —> 00:26:46,460 I don’t think I did

847 00:26:46,460 —> 00:26:48,200 actually. I think they did.

848 00:26:48,400 —> 00:26:50,253 I think it was in their emails

849 00:26:50,453 —> 00:26:51,550 that there’s now this

850 00:26:51,550 —> 00:26:52,908 inner sites tab

851 00:26:53,140 —> 00:26:55,237 and if you’re not an enterprise user,

852 00:26:55,437 —> 00:26:57,560 it’s kind of a letdown because it doesn’t

853 00:26:57,560 —> 00:26:58,924 really give you much

854 00:26:59,124 —> 00:27:01,720 just to ask you to upgrade to enterprise.

855 00:27:01,720 —> 00:27:03,411 I have looked at this

856 00:27:03,611 —> 00:27:05,490 in an enterprise account

857 00:27:05,690 —> 00:27:07,760 to see what it does and it

858 00:27:07,760 —> 00:27:09,078 basically shows you

859 00:27:09,278 —> 00:27:09,877 the usage

860 00:27:10,077 —> 00:27:12,340 of all your collaborators so it will,

861 00:27:12,340 —> 00:27:14,032 it has some charts

862 00:27:14,232 —> 00:27:16,443 of how active people are

863 00:27:16,643 —> 00:27:19,390 and looking at things as well as

864 00:27:19,390 —> 00:27:20,835 different views

865 00:27:21,035 —> 00:27:24,208 it shows you who’s using what views

866 00:27:24,340 —> 00:27:27,808 and it’ll chart out usage

867 00:27:28,040 —> 00:27:31,169 of the different tables and views

868 00:27:31,369 —> 00:27:32,201 and users

869 00:27:32,401 —> 00:27:35,530 and then there is one function where

870 00:27:35,530 —> 00:27:37,219 it will show you views

871 00:27:37,419 —> 00:27:39,951 that haven’t been used for 90 days

872 00:27:40,151 —> 00:27:41,440 or more and it gives

873 00:27:41,440 —> 00:27:42,897 you the option to like

874 00:27:43,097 —> 00:27:44,309 remove those views.

875 00:27:44,509 —> 00:27:46,540 So kind of a cleanup functionality,

876 00:27:46,540 —> 00:27:49,433 so that was kind of the only non

877 00:27:49,633 —> 00:27:50,423 you know,

878 00:27:50,623 —> 00:27:53,410 actionable item in the insights

879 00:27:53,410 —> 00:27:54,718 that I could see.

880 00:27:55,040 —> 00:27:58,246 So plug for enterprise of course,

881 00:27:58,446 —> 00:28:02,520 but hopefully they’ll maybe bring that to

882 00:28:02,520 —> 00:28:04,898 to pro users in the future.

883 00:28:07,740 —> 00:28:10,218 Yeah, it seems useful for bases that have,

884 00:28:10,840 —> 00:28:12,318 you know, upwards of

885 00:28:13,400 —> 00:28:14,686 six I guess collaborators,

886 00:28:14,886 —> 00:28:16,318 that’s the number I just made up.

887 00:28:17,040 —> 00:28:17,498 Yeah.

888 00:28:18,640 —> 00:28:19,819 And Justin brings out

889 00:28:20,019 —> 00:28:22,120 curious to know when the data is captured,

890 00:28:22,120 —> 00:28:23,980 it said one day base had no users

891 00:28:24,180 —> 00:28:26,290 yesterday but I was in that base all day,

892 00:28:26,290 —> 00:28:28,537 so maybe still have some

893 00:28:28,737 —> 00:28:31,908 some data. Is it my whole base or by

894 00:28:32,440 —> 00:28:33,898 table slash view?

895 00:28:35,340 —> 00:28:37,974 It’s a table slash view

896 00:28:38,174 —> 00:28:40,608 is how it breaks it out

897 00:28:42,140 —> 00:28:44,381 but it also has another chart

898 00:28:44,581 —> 00:28:47,008 that’s just general usage by user.

899 00:28:47,340 —> 00:28:49,998 So that one is by base I think

900 00:28:51,740 —> 00:28:55,028 well Airtable has to capture this data

901 00:28:55,228 —> 00:28:57,970 somehow because Airtable sometimes

902 00:28:57,970 —> 00:29:00,550 remember what your last view

903 00:29:00,750 —> 00:29:03,818 table slash view is. So it has to know

904 00:29:04,640 —> 00:29:07,558 when a particular person is

905 00:29:07,660 —> 00:29:09,218 accessing something.

906 00:29:10,040 —> 00:29:12,088 Yeah. So yeah,

907 00:29:12,740 —> 00:29:13,760 I wonder how they do that.

908 00:29:13,960 —> 00:29:15,187 I don’t have an enterprise account

909 00:29:15,387 —> 00:29:15,800 though so I can’t

910 00:29:15,800 —> 00:29:17,008 do any sort of testing.

911 00:29:17,340 —> 00:29:19,021 Yeah, so that goes with

912 00:29:19,221 —> 00:29:20,945 we already talked about

913 00:29:21,145 —> 00:29:22,820 manage fields but that’s

914 00:29:22,820 —> 00:29:24,266 another one where

915 00:29:24,466 —> 00:29:26,664 something manage fields is

916 00:29:26,864 —> 00:29:29,370 half available and then

917 00:29:31,140 —> 00:29:34,188 dependencies is enterprise.

918 00:29:34,340 —> 00:29:35,268 So

919 00:29:35,490 —> 00:29:38,668 manage fields itself is for pro

920 00:29:38,850 —> 00:29:40,948 the dependencies is for enterprise.

921 00:29:41,270 —> 00:29:42,988 Yeah, so

922 00:29:43,000 —> 00:29:44,114 good stuff coming,

923 00:29:44,314 —> 00:29:45,739 you could definitely see

924 00:29:45,939 —> 00:29:47,580 like this is probably you know,

925 00:29:47,580 —> 00:29:48,640 months in the work

926 00:29:48,841 —> 00:29:50,408 of all these changes. I wonder

927 00:29:50,440 —> 00:29:51,763 if there’s more to come

928 00:29:51,963 —> 00:29:53,593 or I feel like this is kind of

929 00:29:53,793 —> 00:29:54,408 a plateau where

930 00:29:54,440 —> 00:29:57,358 They’ll let things settle a bit and then

931 00:29:57,790 —> 00:29:58,999 because I feel like

932 00:29:59,199 —> 00:30:00,463 this was a lot of work,

933 00:30:00,663 —> 00:30:02,700 all these changes the last 2-3 weeks

934 00:30:02,700 —> 00:30:03,398 they’ve made.

935 00:30:03,940 —> 00:30:07,498 Yeah, Airtable doesn’t do

936 00:30:08,340 —> 00:30:09,268 versions

937 00:30:09,560 —> 00:30:11,598 and that’s not atypical for

938 00:30:12,040 —> 00:30:13,674 web apps or you know,

939 00:30:13,874 —> 00:30:14,932 web based apps

940 00:30:15,132 —> 00:30:18,108 like like Airtable but there are some that

941 00:30:18,440 —> 00:30:20,573 have such massive dumps

942 00:30:20,773 —> 00:30:24,098 of new features that they call it like

943 00:30:24,540 —> 00:30:26,399 Airtable 2.0 or something like that.

944 00:30:26,599 —> 00:30:28,310 I wonder if Airtable is ever going to

945 00:30:28,310 —> 00:30:28,908 do that.

946 00:30:29,540 —> 00:30:30,437 I don’t know,

947 00:30:30,637 —> 00:30:32,511 last week rises to the level

948 00:30:32,711 —> 00:30:34,920 where I would call it a 2.0 or 3.0

949 00:30:34,920 —> 00:30:36,718 or whatever. But

950 00:30:38,240 —> 00:30:39,750 obviously they’re working

951 00:30:39,950 —> 00:30:41,788 continuously on various portions

952 00:30:41,988 —> 00:30:42,650 of the product.

953 00:30:42,650 —> 00:30:45,608 I wonder if there were some,

954 00:30:46,040 —> 00:30:48,368 whenever Interfaces gets out of beta

955 00:30:48,510 —> 00:30:49,368 for instance,

956 00:30:50,040 —> 00:30:51,470 they’re probably gonna

957 00:30:51,670 —> 00:30:52,671 add new features

958 00:30:52,871 —> 00:30:55,110 to go along with that when it becomes a

959 00:30:55,110 —> 00:30:56,208 core feature

960 00:30:56,840 —> 00:30:57,708 outside of beta.

961 00:30:57,908 —> 00:30:59,498 I wonder if they’re ever going to

962 00:30:59,840 —> 00:31:00,998 describe

963 00:31:01,840 —> 00:31:03,258 itself as

964 00:31:03,370 —> 00:31:04,908 this is Airtable 2.0

965 00:31:05,540 —> 00:31:07,390 I could see them doing it

966 00:31:07,590 —> 00:31:10,318 just for the marketing, you know, push

967 00:31:10,640 —> 00:31:13,408 I think coda has done that I think

968 00:31:13,820 —> 00:31:14,788 Glide has done it too.

969 00:31:16,740 —> 00:31:19,988 And notion I think has did a 2.0 version,

970 00:31:20,188 —> 00:31:22,998 you know, everybody’s got to get a 2.0

971 00:31:23,340 —> 00:31:24,511 yeah, yeah, yeah.

972 00:31:24,711 —> 00:31:26,374 I think Airtable could be

973 00:31:26,574 —> 00:31:28,370 maybe they’re waiting for one.

974 00:31:28,370 —> 00:31:29,684 Maybe when permissions

975 00:31:29,884 —> 00:31:31,525 they’ve hinted of permissions

976 00:31:31,725 —> 00:31:32,430 later this year.

977 00:31:32,430 —> 00:31:33,800 That could definitely,

978 00:31:34,000 —> 00:31:35,256 I could see that too.

979 00:31:35,456 —> 00:31:37,350 I think that’s sort of a piece that

980 00:31:37,350 —> 00:31:39,404 is missing from Airtable now

981 00:31:39,604 —> 00:31:41,898 that if it were added would change

982 00:31:42,040 —> 00:31:44,890 enough of how people might use Airtable.

983 00:31:45,090 —> 00:31:47,098 Even if the Interface for it is

984 00:31:47,140 —> 00:31:48,418 much the same as it

985 00:31:48,570 —> 00:31:50,608 it as it is today,

986 00:31:50,940 —> 00:31:51,708 adding

987 00:31:52,310 —> 00:31:54,941 greater control over permissions,

988 00:31:55,141 —> 00:31:56,110 visibility,

989 00:31:56,310 —> 00:31:57,625 access, things like that.

990 00:31:57,825 —> 00:31:59,161 I think that probably would

991 00:31:59,361 —> 00:32:00,150 rise to the level of

992 00:32:00,150 —> 00:32:00,818 calling it

993 00:32:01,240 —> 00:32:03,408 the next level of Airtable

994 00:32:03,740 —> 00:32:04,318 Yeah,

995 00:32:04,740 —> 00:32:06,008 very good.

996 00:32:06,340 —> 00:32:08,799 All right. That’s a good rundown

997 00:32:08,999 —> 00:32:11,720 tons of tons of new new functionality.

998 00:32:11,720 —> 00:32:14,254 We’ll dive deeper into some of those

999 00:32:14,454 —> 00:32:17,210 today and in the future and help you learn

1000 00:32:17,210 —> 00:32:18,731 all those new systems,

1001 00:32:18,931 —> 00:32:20,733 but it gives you a sense of

1002 00:32:20,933 —> 00:32:22,670 what all got released this week

1003 00:32:22,670 —> 00:32:24,017 before we move on

1004 00:32:24,217 —> 00:32:26,372 a quick spotlight for On2Air

1005 00:32:26,572 —> 00:32:28,218 our primary sponsor,

1006 00:32:28,240 —> 00:32:29,641 it’s an all in one toolkit

1007 00:32:29,841 —> 00:32:31,420 to run your business on Airtable.

1008 00:32:31,420 —> 00:32:32,950 It’s a suite of apps

1009 00:32:33,150 —> 00:32:34,933 that enable any business

1010 00:32:35,133 —> 00:32:37,310 that is seriously using Airtable

1011 00:32:37,310 —> 00:32:39,470 to take it to the next level,

1012 00:32:39,670 —> 00:32:41,467 from backing up your data

1013 00:32:41,667 —> 00:32:43,120 to managing your schema

1014 00:32:43,120 —> 00:32:43,809 structure.

1015 00:32:44,009 —> 00:32:45,764 In today’s spotlight, we,

1016 00:32:45,964 —> 00:32:48,220 the last couple of weeks we’ve been

1017 00:32:48,220 —> 00:32:50,037 giving a sneak peek into

1018 00:32:50,237 —> 00:32:52,439 forms 2.0 I’ll call that,

1019 00:32:52,639 —> 00:32:54,200 we’ll do a 2.0

1020 00:32:54,200 —> 00:32:55,174 on our end.

1021 00:32:55,374 —> 00:32:57,508 Yeah. And we are releasing,

1022 00:32:57,708 —> 00:32:59,800 we’re a couple of weeks away.

1023 00:32:59,800 —> 00:33:01,694 We are burning the midnight oil

1024 00:33:01,894 —> 00:33:03,338 trying to get this ready.

1025 00:33:03,538 —> 00:33:04,320 We’re still a few

1026 00:33:04,320 —> 00:33:04,955 weeks away

1027 00:33:05,155 —> 00:33:07,472 shooting for first of August release

1028 00:33:07,672 —> 00:33:09,210 but I’m going to give you a

1029 00:33:09,210 —> 00:33:10,188 sneak peak.

1030 00:33:10,388 —> 00:33:13,349 We are building our own standalone

1031 00:33:13,549 —> 00:33:15,700 forms product that takes

1032 00:33:15,700 —> 00:33:18,728 interacting with Airtable from outside

1033 00:33:18,928 —> 00:33:21,038 of Airtable to the next level

1034 00:33:21,060 —> 00:33:23,908 we are working on how do you

1035 00:33:24,108 —> 00:33:27,794 interact with your linked record data

1036 00:33:27,994 —> 00:33:28,790 and

1037 00:33:28,790 —> 00:33:29,551 and do that.

1038 00:33:29,751 —> 00:33:32,201 I wanted to make it as easy as possible.

1039 00:33:32,401 —> 00:33:33,610 One solution might have

1040 00:33:33,610 —> 00:33:36,131 been to just link to another form

1041 00:33:36,331 —> 00:33:39,340 for that linked table. I didn’t want to do

1042 00:33:39,340 —> 00:33:42,283 that. I wanted to make it simplified

1043 00:33:42,483 —> 00:33:45,390 as possible. So we just wrapped up the

1044 00:33:45,390 —> 00:33:47,977 ability to interact with your

1045 00:33:48,177 —> 00:33:49,582 linked record data

1046 00:33:49,782 —> 00:33:51,940 in the same way that you do

1047 00:33:51,940 —> 00:33:53,998 with your top level

1048 00:33:54,140 —> 00:33:56,798 data within the form. And so now

1049 00:33:56,820 —> 00:33:58,265 if you have a field here,

1050 00:33:58,465 —> 00:34:00,518 so on this one, this is a linked record

1051 00:34:00,740 —> 00:34:03,917 field and within the configuration,

1052 00:34:04,117 —> 00:34:07,730 you’ll be able to manage the fields inside

1053 00:34:07,730 —> 00:34:09,628 of that linked record

1054 00:34:09,828 —> 00:34:12,303 and it brings up a new menu,

1055 00:34:12,503 —> 00:34:14,690 a new complete form editor.

1056 00:34:14,690 —> 00:34:15,866 So you can have

1057 00:34:16,066 —> 00:34:18,218 complete control over the data

1058 00:34:18,340 —> 00:34:20,404 that you want to interact with

1059 00:34:20,604 —> 00:34:21,298 at the linked

1060 00:34:21,440 —> 00:34:22,395 record level,

1061 00:34:22,595 —> 00:34:24,972 so you can specify all your fields

1062 00:34:25,172 —> 00:34:26,580 to make them completely

1063 00:34:26,580 —> 00:34:27,516 configurable

1064 00:34:27,716 —> 00:34:29,855 all within the same Interface.

1065 00:34:30,055 —> 00:34:31,530 And the cool thing is,

1066 00:34:31,530 —> 00:34:32,212 is this is

1067 00:34:32,412 —> 00:34:34,588 if you understand technical terms

1068 00:34:34,788 —> 00:34:36,170 is completely recursive,

1069 00:34:36,170 —> 00:34:37,619 which means you can go

1070 00:34:37,819 —> 00:34:39,398 as many layers as you want.

1071 00:34:39,639 —> 00:34:40,873 And so this has

1072 00:34:41,073 —> 00:34:44,044 another linked record inside of that.

1073 00:34:44,244 —> 00:34:45,810 So you can go into its

1074 00:34:45,810 —> 00:34:46,937 configuration

1075 00:34:47,137 —> 00:34:49,847 and manage and so you can create

1076 00:34:50,047 —> 00:34:52,050 if you want to it’s all

1077 00:34:52,050 —> 00:34:53,620 configurable, You don’t need to

1078 00:34:53,820 —> 00:34:54,671 make them editable

1079 00:34:54,871 —> 00:34:55,949 or create-able but you can

1080 00:34:55,949 —> 00:34:57,530 go as many layers

1081 00:34:57,730 —> 00:35:00,598 linked layers as you want to edit

1082 00:35:00,740 —> 00:35:03,098 all within the same form.

1083 00:35:03,740 —> 00:35:06,297 So that is pretty cool

1084 00:35:06,497 —> 00:35:10,598 and excited to get this out there. So

1085 00:35:11,440 —> 00:35:13,910 hopefully if you’re interested in that

1086 00:35:14,110 —> 00:35:16,380 sign up, we do have a waiting list for

1087 00:35:16,380 —> 00:35:18,822 for people that that will get access to it

1088 00:35:19,022 —> 00:35:20,740 first and test it out while we’re

1089 00:35:20,740 —> 00:35:22,011 still in kind of beta

1090 00:35:22,211 —> 00:35:24,242 but we’d love to hear your feedback

1091 00:35:24,442 —> 00:35:25,460 on things you want to

1092 00:35:25,460 —> 00:35:27,418 see in forms,

1093 00:35:28,540 —> 00:35:31,098 good stuff there.

1094 00:35:31,210 —> 00:35:33,718 Alright,

1095 00:35:34,540 —> 00:35:37,276 okay. Kamille is gonna walk us through

1096 00:35:37,476 —> 00:35:39,508 an audience question for today.

1097 00:35:40,340 —> 00:35:41,408 Screen is up.

1098 00:35:41,940 —> 00:35:42,708 Okay.

1099 00:35:43,040 —> 00:35:45,548 So I got this question a while ago

1100 00:35:45,747 —> 00:35:48,350 but I don’t think I ever really talked

1101 00:35:48,350 —> 00:35:49,881 about the solution for it

1102 00:35:50,081 —> 00:35:51,718 and I thought it was actually,

1103 00:35:53,240 —> 00:35:55,445 it was one of those questions

1104 00:35:55,645 —> 00:35:57,701 that I got that was like wow

1105 00:35:57,901 —> 00:35:59,170 this would have been

1106 00:35:59,170 —> 00:36:01,208 really hard to do without Rejex,

1107 00:36:01,530 —> 00:36:03,397 essentially what they want to do

1108 00:36:03,597 —> 00:36:05,440 is alphabetize their list of books,

1109 00:36:05,440 —> 00:36:08,069 but they don’t want if a book

1110 00:36:08,269 —> 00:36:10,698 starts with the word the or a

1111 00:36:11,030 —> 00:36:12,223 they don’t want that to

1112 00:36:12,423 —> 00:36:13,230 affect the alphabet

1113 00:36:13,430 —> 00:36:14,588 alphabetizing

1114 00:36:14,650 —> 00:36:16,508 for it. So they want to move

1115 00:36:16,830 —> 00:36:19,698 the or a to the end of

1116 00:36:20,420 —> 00:36:22,508 the name of the book with a comma.

1117 00:36:23,230 —> 00:36:26,259 And you could do that

1118 00:36:26,459 —> 00:36:30,298 with left and substitute and

1119 00:36:31,530 —> 00:36:33,690 you know a few other of the

1120 00:36:33,890 —> 00:36:35,676 older formula functions

1121 00:36:35,876 —> 00:36:37,850 but it was so much easier to

1122 00:36:37,850 —> 00:36:38,388 do

1123 00:36:38,730 —> 00:36:40,208 with Rejex. So

1124 00:36:40,730 —> 00:36:42,697 just very simply

1125 00:36:42,897 —> 00:36:46,508 in this table I have a list of,

1126 00:36:47,030 —> 00:36:47,993 you know book titles

1127 00:36:48,193 —> 00:36:49,101 Alice in Wonderland,

1128 00:36:49,301 —> 00:36:50,907 The blue book, The Princess and the Pea

1129 00:36:51,107 —> 00:36:52,487 A tale of Two Cities

1130 00:36:52,687 —> 00:36:53,798 There She Blows. So

1131 00:36:54,610 —> 00:36:56,010 under my formula

1132 00:36:56,210 —> 00:36:58,898 you could see that I can properly

1133 00:37:00,030 —> 00:37:02,148 alphabetize things and have

1134 00:37:02,920 —> 00:37:06,088 the word the and a not affect

1135 00:37:07,130 —> 00:37:09,117 the order of these books.

1136 00:37:09,317 —> 00:37:11,557 But also it didn’t take the a

1137 00:37:11,757 —> 00:37:13,410 at the start of Alice in

1138 00:37:13,410 —> 00:37:15,898 Wonderland and it also didn’t take

1139 00:37:16,530 —> 00:37:17,448 the

1140 00:37:17,450 —> 00:37:19,398 at the start of There She Blows.

1141 00:37:19,530 —> 00:37:22,098 And the way I was able to do that

1142 00:37:23,730 —> 00:37:26,508 was with a fairly short

1143 00:37:27,310 —> 00:37:28,144 Rejex formula.

1144 00:37:28,344 —> 00:37:29,772 So there’s a trim in here

1145 00:37:29,972 —> 00:37:31,600 just so that it removes any extra

1146 00:37:31,600 —> 00:37:32,798 spaces that might

1147 00:37:32,900 —> 00:37:35,008 appear at the beginning and end,

1148 00:37:35,330 —> 00:37:36,585 I have Rejex replace,

1149 00:37:36,785 —> 00:37:38,498 it’s taking the name of the book

1150 00:37:39,130 —> 00:37:41,672 and I have a capture group

1151 00:37:41,872 —> 00:37:44,898 in Airtable, and in other Rejex

1152 00:37:45,630 —> 00:37:47,298 implementations if you put

1153 00:37:47,730 —> 00:37:49,725 words inside of parentheses,

1154 00:37:49,925 —> 00:37:51,986 that’s called a capture group.

1155 00:37:52,186 —> 00:37:53,360 So I’m looking for a

1156 00:37:53,360 —> 00:37:57,198 specific set of characters in this case

1157 00:37:57,800 —> 00:37:59,128 the start

1158 00:37:59,280 —> 00:38:00,249 of the text is

1159 00:38:00,449 —> 00:38:02,188 represented by the up carrot

1160 00:38:02,620 —> 00:38:03,688 and then

1161 00:38:05,720 —> 00:38:07,066 capital a space

1162 00:38:07,266 —> 00:38:10,164 and then there’s a pipe character

1163 00:38:10,364 —> 00:38:12,360 in Rejex, pipe character

1164 00:38:12,360 —> 00:38:13,244 means or,

1165 00:38:13,444 —> 00:38:15,698 so I’m looking for either

1166 00:38:16,520 —> 00:38:18,488 capital a space or

1167 00:38:18,920 —> 00:38:20,998 capital the space

1168 00:38:21,720 —> 00:38:24,198 and then I have a separate capture group

1169 00:38:24,620 —> 00:38:27,008 that has dot which represents

1170 00:38:27,030 —> 00:38:28,298 any character.

1171 00:38:28,680 —> 00:38:30,581 And then I have an asterisk

1172 00:38:30,781 —> 00:38:31,781 which represents

1173 00:38:32,120 —> 00:38:34,198 zero or more of

1174 00:38:34,520 —> 00:38:36,568 any character. So basically

1175 00:38:36,840 —> 00:38:38,774 in regular people words,

1176 00:38:38,974 —> 00:38:41,998 I’m saying look at the start of the text

1177 00:38:42,520 —> 00:38:44,388 if it starts with

1178 00:38:44,820 —> 00:38:48,998 a space or the space capitalized,

1179 00:38:50,420 —> 00:38:52,158 take that piece

1180 00:38:52,520 —> 00:38:54,536 and I don’t care what comes after it.

1181 00:38:54,736 —> 00:38:56,498 As long as there’s a space in there,

1182 00:38:57,820 —> 00:39:00,298 grab that piece of the text.

1183 00:39:00,620 —> 00:39:01,498 So

1184 00:39:02,220 —> 00:39:04,188 with Rejex replace you can

1185 00:39:04,620 —> 00:39:06,588 set what your capture groups are

1186 00:39:07,120 —> 00:39:08,715 and then you can reorder them,

1187 00:39:08,915 —> 00:39:09,610 which is nice.

1188 00:39:09,810 —> 00:39:11,000 So because I have to capture

1189 00:39:11,000 —> 00:39:12,214 groups, I’m saying

1190 00:39:12,414 —> 00:39:14,046 start with the second one

1191 00:39:14,246 —> 00:39:16,330 which is everything other than a or

1192 00:39:16,330 —> 00:39:17,578 space at the beginning

1193 00:39:18,020 —> 00:39:19,248 add a comma,

1194 00:39:19,260 —> 00:39:20,188 add a space

1195 00:39:20,470 —> 00:39:21,498 and then plop

1196 00:39:21,820 —> 00:39:23,029 the first part.

1197 00:39:23,229 —> 00:39:25,528 So if it was a put a it was the

1198 00:39:25,690 —> 00:39:26,188 the

1199 00:39:26,720 —> 00:39:27,946 and then again, trim

1200 00:39:28,146 —> 00:39:29,793 is removing that extra space

1201 00:39:29,993 —> 00:39:31,380 at the end which would have

1202 00:39:31,380 —> 00:39:32,940 come from my capture group

1203 00:39:33,140 —> 00:39:34,799 because I’m explicitly saying

1204 00:39:34,999 —> 00:39:36,000 there’s a space after

1205 00:39:36,000 —> 00:39:36,488 the

1206 00:39:37,720 —> 00:39:39,783 so looking at it again,

1207 00:39:39,983 —> 00:39:43,640 this is what it would come out as again,

1208 00:39:43,640 —> 00:39:46,212 it doesn’t mess up Alice in Wonderland,

1209 00:39:46,412 —> 00:39:48,520 it doesn’t mess up this one either.

1210 00:39:48,520 —> 00:39:49,078 It’s

1211 00:39:49,620 —> 00:39:52,218 only if it starts with the word the

1212 00:39:52,418 —> 00:39:55,038 and a space or the word A and a space

1213 00:39:55,070 —> 00:39:57,008 putting it at the end. So

1214 00:39:57,010 —> 00:39:59,088 just one of those times where

1215 00:39:59,620 —> 00:40:01,878 life is much much easier with Rejex.

1216 00:40:04,410 —> 00:40:06,072 Yeah, this is a perfect

1217 00:40:06,272 —> 00:40:07,878 use case for Rejex.

1218 00:40:09,010 —> 00:40:12,288 Hopefully that’s you know, nice

1219 00:40:12,610 —> 00:40:13,490 feature that people

1220 00:40:13,690 —> 00:40:14,788 could add to their toolbelt.

1221 00:40:14,988 —> 00:40:16,330 You don’t have to learn everything

1222 00:40:16,330 —> 00:40:17,117 in Rejex but

1223 00:40:17,317 —> 00:40:19,030 if you can learn the basics

1224 00:40:19,230 —> 00:40:21,378 this is a good formula to learn that.

1225 00:40:21,910 —> 00:40:23,428 Yeah.

1226 00:40:23,550 —> 00:40:25,188 The goal is to

1227 00:40:26,010 —> 00:40:28,126 see enough use cases for Rejex

1228 00:40:28,326 —> 00:40:30,014 where you’re like I think

1229 00:40:30,214 —> 00:40:31,230 I could do this in

1230 00:40:31,230 —> 00:40:31,468 Rejex

1231 00:40:31,710 —> 00:40:34,068 and you don’t have to know how because

1232 00:40:34,610 —> 00:40:36,174 I don’t remember what each

1233 00:40:36,374 —> 00:40:37,630 and every one of these

1234 00:40:37,830 —> 00:40:39,000 special characters does.

1235 00:40:39,000 —> 00:40:40,432 Like I can’t remember

1236 00:40:40,632 —> 00:40:42,079 off the top of my head

1237 00:40:42,279 —> 00:40:44,250 that up carrot means start of the

1238 00:40:44,250 —> 00:40:47,324 text and dot means an any character,

1239 00:40:47,524 —> 00:40:49,482 an asterisks means zero

1240 00:40:49,682 —> 00:40:51,100 or more of whatever

1241 00:40:51,100 —> 00:40:52,310 character comes before it

1242 00:40:52,510 —> 00:40:53,454 I don’t remember that

1243 00:40:53,654 —> 00:40:54,488 off the top of my head.

1244 00:40:54,610 —> 00:40:57,048 But there are lists of

1245 00:40:57,280 —> 00:40:58,678 what each of those

1246 00:40:59,090 —> 00:41:00,828 individual characters mean.

1247 00:41:00,950 —> 00:41:02,751 And so your job really is to

1248 00:41:02,951 —> 00:41:04,938 think through what do I want to do?

1249 00:41:06,310 —> 00:41:08,658 Do I think I could do it in Rejex?

1250 00:41:08,870 —> 00:41:11,251 And then you suffer for a little bit

1251 00:41:11,451 —> 00:41:13,698 and figuring out exactly how to do it

1252 00:41:14,210 —> 00:41:15,153 and then once you do

1253 00:41:15,353 —> 00:41:16,618 you never have to do it again

1254 00:41:16,818 —> 00:41:17,510 which is nice.

1255 00:41:17,710 —> 00:41:19,394 Yeah. Yeah, just plan on

1256 00:41:19,594 —> 00:41:21,850 hitting your head against the wall.

1257 00:41:21,850 —> 00:41:24,608 Yeah. First time no one understands Rejex.

1258 00:41:26,510 —> 00:41:28,959 Yeah, but there are good websites

1259 00:41:29,159 —> 00:41:30,085 that help you

1260 00:41:30,285 —> 00:41:32,150 Rejex tester, rejex101.com

1261 00:41:32,150 —> 00:41:33,842 are a couple of just

1262 00:41:34,042 —> 00:41:35,788 google Rejex testing.

1263 00:41:36,210 —> 00:41:38,778 There’s several websites that are good.

1264 00:41:40,310 —> 00:41:41,411 Yeah and Justin

1265 00:41:41,611 —> 00:41:43,761 if you follow Justin on Twitter,

1266 00:41:43,961 —> 00:41:45,990 he gives good always on Friday.

1267 00:41:45,990 —> 00:41:47,544 There’s a Formula Friday

1268 00:41:47,744 —> 00:41:49,360 that often require Rejex.

1269 00:41:49,560 —> 00:41:51,040 So that’s a great resource

1270 00:41:51,040 —> 00:41:53,858 to learn from Justin on Rejex.

1271 00:41:56,510 —> 00:41:59,378 Very good. Cool, good stuff there

1272 00:41:59,710 —> 00:42:02,344 on that and answering that question

1273 00:42:02,544 —> 00:42:05,430 and learning a little bit about Rejex.

1274 00:42:05,430 —> 00:42:07,694 Let’s move on our next segment

1275 00:42:07,894 —> 00:42:10,260 exploring forms in Interfaces.

1276 00:42:10,260 —> 00:42:12,868 This segment is a Case for Interface

1277 00:42:13,200 —> 00:42:14,917 and let’s do it.

1278 00:42:15,117 —> 00:42:17,536 So like we talked about

1279 00:42:17,736 —> 00:42:19,640 earlier in the show,

1280 00:42:19,640 —> 00:42:21,251 they released this

1281 00:42:21,451 —> 00:42:23,664 Interface Designer forms

1282 00:42:23,864 —> 00:42:26,800 the ability to create new records.

1283 00:42:26,800 —> 00:42:28,368 So that’s what forms are,

1284 00:42:28,700 —> 00:42:31,575 let’s learn a little bit more about that.

1285 00:42:31,775 —> 00:42:34,170 So you’ll go into your Interfaces and

1286 00:42:34,170 —> 00:42:37,327 now it’s a little bit different

1287 00:42:37,527 —> 00:42:39,568 at the top here and

1288 00:42:40,700 —> 00:42:43,875 if you click into your grouping

1289 00:42:44,075 —> 00:42:45,206 of Interfaces

1290 00:42:45,406 —> 00:42:47,910 then what you’ll need to do

1291 00:42:47,910 —> 00:42:50,248 actually

1292 00:42:53,400 —> 00:42:54,692 this is a new layout,

1293 00:42:54,892 —> 00:42:56,827 so that was the first thing

1294 00:42:57,027 —> 00:42:58,260 that I would mention

1295 00:42:58,260 —> 00:43:00,127 is forms are a new layout.

1296 00:43:00,327 —> 00:43:02,266 They’re not I wish they were

1297 00:43:02,466 —> 00:43:03,790 elements inside of the

1298 00:43:03,790 —> 00:43:05,925 other Interface Designer,

1299 00:43:06,125 —> 00:43:08,286 it’s not quite an element,

1300 00:43:08,486 —> 00:43:10,280 but if you have a record

1301 00:43:10,280 —> 00:43:11,247 list element,

1302 00:43:11,447 —> 00:43:13,478 you can create new from there.

1303 00:43:13,700 —> 00:43:14,278 Okay,

1304 00:43:14,500 —> 00:43:15,828 that’s good to know.

1305 00:43:16,028 —> 00:43:18,950 Let’s look at that, so that’s the record.

1306 00:43:18,950 —> 00:43:21,718 Yeah, I think we can do it both ways.

1307 00:43:22,400 —> 00:43:22,978 Okay,

1308 00:43:23,900 —> 00:43:26,668 so if we create, I wanna do

1309 00:43:27,000 —> 00:43:27,858 try that.

1310 00:43:30,900 —> 00:43:35,358 If we create a record preview then

1311 00:43:36,100 —> 00:43:38,678 click on your the thing

1312 00:43:38,878 —> 00:43:41,368 on the side the side bar

1313 00:43:42,300 —> 00:43:43,378 and then

1314 00:43:43,460 —> 00:43:45,898 allow at the bottom actions,

1315 00:43:46,020 —> 00:43:48,468 allow users to create new records

1316 00:43:49,100 —> 00:43:50,978 and then you could

1317 00:43:51,400 —> 00:43:54,268 yeah, edit form and now we’re in here,

1318 00:43:54,700 —> 00:43:55,958 so very good.

1319 00:43:56,158 —> 00:43:57,776 So you can do it.

1320 00:43:57,976 —> 00:44:00,113 I was using a dashboard

1321 00:44:00,313 —> 00:44:02,250 because I wanted it,

1322 00:44:02,250 —> 00:44:03,743 Yeah, you’re right,

1323 00:44:03,943 —> 00:44:06,544 it’s not like a top level element,

1324 00:44:06,744 —> 00:44:08,380 it’s hidden inside other

1325 00:44:08,380 —> 00:44:09,709 existing elements.

1326 00:44:09,909 —> 00:44:12,810 So it’s the record list thing on the left,

1327 00:44:12,810 —> 00:44:14,658 it’s also for

1328 00:44:14,790 —> 00:44:15,468 the

1329 00:44:16,090 —> 00:44:16,608 the,

1330 00:44:16,840 —> 00:44:18,080 I forget what it’s called,

1331 00:44:18,280 —> 00:44:19,275 the choice component

1332 00:44:19,475 —> 00:44:20,370 that’s a drop down for

1333 00:44:20,370 —> 00:44:22,648 records, you could do it from there too.

1334 00:44:24,890 —> 00:44:27,583 Yeah, it’s sort of hidden in there,

1335 00:44:27,783 —> 00:44:29,968 but it is a top level page type

1336 00:44:30,390 —> 00:44:33,158 as well, that’s probably the most visible.

1337 00:44:33,590 —> 00:44:38,768 Okay, awesome. So now we’ve got our

1338 00:44:39,090 —> 00:44:40,670 yeah, so now we’ve got our

1339 00:44:40,870 —> 00:44:41,798 design projects,

1340 00:44:41,998 —> 00:44:43,770 so this is pretty standard for the

1341 00:44:43,770 —> 00:44:45,084 Interface.

1342 00:44:45,284 —> 00:44:48,931 You can create that and then

1343 00:44:49,131 —> 00:44:52,968 let’s see, where did it put it?

1344 00:44:57,190 —> 00:44:58,276 Oh it’s right there.

1345 00:44:58,476 —> 00:45:00,336 So that would be so it automatically

1346 00:45:00,536 —> 00:45:01,370 adds the plus button

1347 00:45:01,370 —> 00:45:03,138 for you to click on

1348 00:45:03,338 —> 00:45:06,860 and then it would bring a pop up for it.

1349 00:45:06,860 —> 00:45:09,824 So that’s the quick way to do it

1350 00:45:10,024 —> 00:45:12,880 if you’re already in this type of

1351 00:45:12,880 —> 00:45:14,658 Interface layout.

1352 00:45:14,790 —> 00:45:18,556 So basically a form allows you to

1353 00:45:18,756 —> 00:45:23,350 create this. And for linked records you

1354 00:45:23,350 —> 00:45:26,268 can add a record.

1355 00:45:27,390 —> 00:45:33,278 But can you add a linked record?

1356 00:45:33,280 —> 00:45:34,552 I don’t think so.

1357 00:45:34,752 —> 00:45:37,353 I think that’s still a missing piece

1358 00:45:37,553 —> 00:45:38,220 in Airtable.

1359 00:45:38,220 —> 00:45:39,968 Like if you had a

1360 00:45:40,290 —> 00:45:41,942 a filtered table list

1361 00:45:42,142 —> 00:45:44,965 as an element on your Interface page,

1362 00:45:45,165 —> 00:45:46,110 you still can’t

1363 00:45:46,110 —> 00:45:47,959 click the plus button inside of that.

1364 00:45:48,159 —> 00:45:49,159 They haven’t quite

1365 00:45:49,390 —> 00:45:50,969 unlocked that functionality.

1366 00:45:51,169 —> 00:45:53,041 Yeah it’s very useful functionality

1367 00:45:53,241 —> 00:45:53,790 that should be

1368 00:45:53,790 —> 00:45:54,358 unlocked

1369 00:45:54,890 —> 00:45:56,968 sooner or later.

1370 00:45:57,790 —> 00:45:59,105 That would have been

1371 00:45:59,305 —> 00:46:00,748 top of my list to add but

1372 00:46:01,080 —> 00:46:03,036 I’m sure they’re thinking about it

1373 00:46:03,236 —> 00:46:04,590 because they mentioned it

1374 00:46:04,790 —> 00:46:05,510 like a while ago,

1375 00:46:05,510 —> 00:46:07,552 it’s probably somewhat difficult

1376 00:46:07,752 —> 00:46:09,147 to figure out precisely

1377 00:46:09,347 —> 00:46:10,360 how you want to link

1378 00:46:10,360 —> 00:46:11,574 things together.

1379 00:46:11,774 —> 00:46:13,548 I’m thinking about how the

1380 00:46:14,580 —> 00:46:17,142 U. R. L. For any Interface page

1381 00:46:17,342 —> 00:46:20,530 is predictable to a point where you could

1382 00:46:20,530 —> 00:46:21,848 have multiple different

1383 00:46:22,680 —> 00:46:23,815 elements on a page

1384 00:46:24,015 —> 00:46:26,385 that are filtering from the same table.

1385 00:46:26,585 —> 00:46:27,600 So you have multiple

1386 00:46:27,600 —> 00:46:29,318 record ids from the same table

1387 00:46:29,518 —> 00:46:30,927 appearing in your U. R. L.

1388 00:46:31,127 —> 00:46:32,010 And they’re probably

1389 00:46:32,010 —> 00:46:33,758 sorting through exactly

1390 00:46:34,280 —> 00:46:36,789 if we want to pre fill a particular record

1391 00:46:36,989 —> 00:46:38,820 in creating a new linked record to

1392 00:46:38,820 —> 00:46:39,458 something

1393 00:46:39,880 —> 00:46:42,058 which element do we pick from?

1394 00:46:42,110 —> 00:46:43,948 That’s probably what they’re trying

1395 00:46:44,148 —> 00:46:45,838 to iron out and it’s a tough problem

1396 00:46:46,480 —> 00:46:49,482 but boy do I want it solved

1397 00:46:49,682 —> 00:46:52,415 yeah. One another feature

1398 00:46:52,615 —> 00:46:54,930 they did add is you can

1399 00:46:54,930 —> 00:46:56,435 make fields required

1400 00:46:56,635 —> 00:46:57,875 on a create form.

1401 00:46:58,075 —> 00:47:00,500 So that’s something nice because you

1402 00:47:00,500 —> 00:47:01,603 don’t really have that

1403 00:47:01,803 —> 00:47:03,124 when you’re editing existing

1404 00:47:03,324 —> 00:47:04,210 records there’s no like

1405 00:47:04,210 —> 00:47:05,237 submit button

1406 00:47:05,437 —> 00:47:07,528 to like say this is required.

1407 00:47:07,930 —> 00:47:10,315 But on a create there is a

1408 00:47:10,515 —> 00:47:12,394 submit create button.

1409 00:47:12,594 —> 00:47:14,810 You can have a little bit

1410 00:47:14,810 —> 00:47:16,458 control over the button.

1411 00:47:16,780 —> 00:47:20,343 So this does this is nice.

1412 00:47:20,543 —> 00:47:22,170 It shows you

1413 00:47:22,370 —> 00:47:26,510 what’s required in there.

1414 00:47:26,510 —> 00:47:27,682 So that’s kind of cool.

1415 00:47:27,882 —> 00:47:29,720 And actually you can add more from here.

1416 00:47:29,720 —> 00:47:31,338 So that’s kinda nice

1417 00:47:31,980 —> 00:47:34,892 in this dialogue you’re showing right now.

1418 00:47:35,092 —> 00:47:37,458 I want there to be another option for

1419 00:47:37,980 —> 00:47:39,348 pre filled values

1420 00:47:39,780 —> 00:47:41,227 Because for form views

1421 00:47:41,427 —> 00:47:43,705 that this is a somewhat new feature.

1422 00:47:43,905 —> 00:47:44,780 I think it’s a 22

1423 00:47:44,780 —> 00:47:45,480 release

1424 00:47:45,680 —> 00:47:48,931 where you can have a hidden field

1425 00:47:49,131 —> 00:47:52,380 on a form view, now finally, you can

1426 00:47:52,380 —> 00:47:53,748 pre fill that hidden

1427 00:47:54,080 —> 00:47:54,848 field.

1428 00:47:55,480 —> 00:47:56,887 You can’t do that with an

1429 00:47:57,087 —> 00:47:58,371 Interface form quite yet

1430 00:47:58,571 —> 00:47:59,870 or at least not that I could

1431 00:47:59,870 —> 00:48:01,338 figure out. So

1432 00:48:01,670 —> 00:48:03,818 I would love in this panel

1433 00:48:04,160 —> 00:48:05,958 to be able to pre fill

1434 00:48:06,370 —> 00:48:08,176 a field and not even show it

1435 00:48:08,376 —> 00:48:10,820 to somebody. I feel like that’s easier to

1436 00:48:10,820 —> 00:48:13,529 accomplish here than it would be

1437 00:48:13,729 —> 00:48:15,138 for a form view.

1438 00:48:16,570 —> 00:48:17,584 Yeah for sure.

1439 00:48:17,784 —> 00:48:20,173 I think that that could be doable.

1440 00:48:20,373 —> 00:48:21,930 And they talked about,

1441 00:48:21,930 —> 00:48:24,046 I think they did hint that

1442 00:48:24,246 —> 00:48:25,512 conditional logic,

1443 00:48:25,712 —> 00:48:26,442 they did

1444 00:48:26,642 —> 00:48:27,820 included in that.

1445 00:48:27,820 —> 00:48:29,256 Someone did mention that

1446 00:48:29,456 —> 00:48:31,770 and that’s another reason why I love that

1447 00:48:31,770 —> 00:48:32,807 a lot of the recent

1448 00:48:33,007 —> 00:48:34,778 future announcements on the forums

1449 00:48:34,978 —> 00:48:36,080 have come from people who

1450 00:48:36,080 —> 00:48:37,438 work on the team

1451 00:48:37,770 —> 00:48:39,572 because they are able to point out

1452 00:48:39,772 —> 00:48:41,108 and they’re not going to do

1453 00:48:41,308 —> 00:48:41,850 this every time

1454 00:48:41,850 —> 00:48:43,210 and there’s only so much specifics

1455 00:48:43,410 —> 00:48:44,061 that could give us

1456 00:48:44,261 —> 00:48:44,930 if they’re going to give

1457 00:48:44,930 —> 00:48:46,267 us specifics at all.

1458 00:48:46,467 —> 00:48:48,138 But sometimes they could say

1459 00:48:48,470 —> 00:48:49,332 here’s the new feature

1460 00:48:49,532 —> 00:48:50,327 that we just released,

1461 00:48:50,527 —> 00:48:51,410 here’s what’s available today.

1462 00:48:51,410 —> 00:48:53,262 We’re thinking of doing X.

1463 00:48:53,462 —> 00:48:55,653 And that’s so useful for people.

1464 00:48:55,853 —> 00:48:56,680 It’s useful for

1465 00:48:56,680 —> 00:48:58,016 people like me who like

1466 00:48:58,216 —> 00:48:59,101 code and develop

1467 00:48:59,301 —> 00:49:00,980 alternate solutions with Airtable.

1468 00:49:00,980 —> 00:49:02,291 It’s useful for the lay person

1469 00:49:02,491 —> 00:49:03,690 because they can say, all right,

1470 00:49:03,690 —> 00:49:04,824 well, the thing I wanna do

1471 00:49:05,024 —> 00:49:05,911 isn’t available today,

1472 00:49:06,111 —> 00:49:06,960 but it might be there in a

1473 00:49:06,960 —> 00:49:08,048 month, I don’t know,

1474 00:49:08,570 —> 00:49:09,813 in one of the threads

1475 00:49:10,013 —> 00:49:12,300 we talked about earlier, someone was like,

1476 00:49:12,300 —> 00:49:13,849 I want to do this for look up fields.

1477 00:49:14,049 —> 00:49:14,770 And then Tim was like,

1478 00:49:14,770 —> 00:49:15,642 we’re working on it.

1479 00:49:15,842 —> 00:49:16,771 And then the next week,

1480 00:49:16,971 —> 00:49:17,780 Tim was like, it’s there,

1481 00:49:17,780 —> 00:49:18,982 so it’s great that,

1482 00:49:19,182 —> 00:49:21,448 you know, we get that sort of feedback.

1483 00:49:21,870 —> 00:49:22,713 Yeah, for sure.

1484 00:49:22,913 —> 00:49:24,473 Yeah, it’d be awesome if they

1485 00:49:24,673 —> 00:49:26,140 were even more transparent with

1486 00:49:26,140 —> 00:49:27,548 the road map,

1487 00:49:28,070 —> 00:49:29,138 we can only hope.

1488 00:49:29,670 —> 00:49:32,470 Yeah, yeah, it would have been good

1489 00:49:32,670 —> 00:49:35,750 even like with so we have our schemas app

1490 00:49:35,750 —> 00:49:37,102 and I was planning

1491 00:49:37,302 —> 00:49:40,223 luckily I hadn’t done any work on it yet

1492 00:49:40,423 —> 00:49:41,610 but our roadmap was

1493 00:49:41,610 —> 00:49:43,232 to include kind of like

1494 00:49:43,432 —> 00:49:44,571 a master level view

1495 00:49:44,771 —> 00:49:47,050 of all of your fields and be able to

1496 00:49:47,050 —> 00:49:47,901 rename them and

1497 00:49:48,101 —> 00:49:49,187 and things like that

1498 00:49:49,387 —> 00:49:51,360 and then they go and release the manage

1499 00:49:51,360 —> 00:49:53,978 fields Interface. And

1500 00:49:54,000 —> 00:49:55,836 I said the same thing

1501 00:49:56,036 —> 00:49:58,257 because I made that script

1502 00:49:58,457 —> 00:50:00,820 and app thing that allowed you

1503 00:50:00,820 —> 00:50:01,950 to change your defaults

1504 00:50:02,150 —> 00:50:03,850 for all of your fields in your base.

1505 00:50:03,850 —> 00:50:05,356 And I was like well this would work

1506 00:50:05,556 —> 00:50:06,690 perfectly inside of this panel

1507 00:50:06,690 —> 00:50:08,438 you just developed. So I’m

1508 00:50:08,760 —> 00:50:10,740 game plan is to just build

1509 00:50:10,940 —> 00:50:13,938 the feature and then say Airtable by this,

1510 00:50:15,320 —> 00:50:17,818 who knows if they will but whatever.

1511 00:50:18,360 —> 00:50:19,351 Yeah, very good.

1512 00:50:19,551 —> 00:50:21,215 So yeah, just so there isn’t

1513 00:50:21,415 —> 00:50:22,820 a ton of new functionality.

1514 00:50:22,820 —> 00:50:26,223 I will mention going back to

1515 00:50:26,423 —> 00:50:31,328 forms, one way so if you are inside of a

1516 00:50:31,660 —> 00:50:33,639 Interface type or layout

1517 00:50:33,839 —> 00:50:37,020 that doesn’t support the top level forms,

1518 00:50:37,020 —> 00:50:39,028 like a dashboard,

1519 00:50:41,670 —> 00:50:42,738 go back

1520 00:50:44,960 —> 00:50:46,800 If you’re in a dashboard

1521 00:50:47,000 —> 00:50:48,264 one way to do it,

1522 00:50:48,464 —> 00:50:50,940 I wish that you could connect a link

1523 00:50:50,940 —> 00:50:51,772 from a button

1524 00:50:51,972 —> 00:50:53,578 but you can’t do that yet.

1525 00:50:53,778 —> 00:50:55,740 I don’t know why, why couldn’t a

1526 00:50:55,740 —> 00:50:58,438 button just open up a new U. R. L?

1527 00:50:58,460 —> 00:50:59,393 I don’t know.

1528 00:50:59,593 —> 00:51:01,960 I think they had also talked about

1529 00:51:02,160 —> 00:51:03,630 consolidating the button

1530 00:51:03,630 —> 00:51:05,318 element and the button field,

1531 00:51:05,560 —> 00:51:07,071 their functionality because they do

1532 00:51:07,271 —> 00:51:08,160 two different things.

1533 00:51:08,360 —> 00:51:09,801 And they shouldn’t

1534 00:51:10,001 —> 00:51:11,032 they should do

1535 00:51:11,232 —> 00:51:13,281 it should be one button thing

1536 00:51:13,481 —> 00:51:14,200 that could do

1537 00:51:14,200 —> 00:51:15,818 both sets of features

1538 00:51:16,160 —> 00:51:17,694 because neither set of features

1539 00:51:17,894 —> 00:51:18,602 is that complex

1540 00:51:18,802 —> 00:51:19,970 I don’t think under the hood.

1541 00:51:19,970 —> 00:51:22,328 Uh But yeah it would,

1542 00:51:23,860 —> 00:51:25,211 forms and Interfaces

1543 00:51:25,411 —> 00:51:26,765 is hot off the presses,

1544 00:51:26,965 —> 00:51:28,350 hopefully they make some

1545 00:51:28,350 —> 00:51:30,131 adjustments to it that make it

1546 00:51:30,331 —> 00:51:32,328 a little bit easier to integrate with

1547 00:51:33,560 —> 00:51:35,629 Interfaces that are already there.

1548 00:51:35,829 —> 00:51:37,880 Like you you don’t have the the other

1549 00:51:37,880 —> 00:51:39,092 components I was talking about

1550 00:51:39,292 —> 00:51:40,105 where you can have the

1551 00:51:40,305 —> 00:51:41,030 plus button and open up a

1552 00:51:41,030 —> 00:51:42,744 format and model in a dashboard,

1553 00:51:42,944 —> 00:51:44,940 you don’t have that. So you would want to

1554 00:51:44,940 —> 00:51:46,215 launch it from a button,

1555 00:51:46,415 —> 00:51:48,128 it should be available as an option.

1556 00:51:48,460 —> 00:51:50,783 Yeah. Honestly I don’t know what

1557 00:51:50,983 —> 00:51:53,760 you can use a button in the dashboard for

1558 00:51:53,760 —> 00:51:55,529 because it’s not configured

1559 00:51:55,729 —> 00:51:56,483 to a source.

1560 00:51:56,683 —> 00:51:58,870 And so I was trying to figure out what

1561 00:51:58,870 —> 00:52:01,049 can I do with this button.

1562 00:52:01,249 —> 00:52:01,820 Nothing

1563 00:52:02,020 —> 00:52:02,966 but anyways,

1564 00:52:03,166 —> 00:52:05,490 so the workaround and actually I

1565 00:52:05,490 —> 00:52:07,078 think Chris mentioned this

1566 00:52:07,278 —> 00:52:09,950 in the chat on today’s show when we were

1567 00:52:09,950 —> 00:52:11,686 talking about forms, so

1568 00:52:11,886 —> 00:52:13,358 we think like Chris

1569 00:52:13,558 —> 00:52:15,990 the way to do it is you can insert

1570 00:52:15,990 —> 00:52:17,028 a text

1571 00:52:17,550 —> 00:52:20,009 you know, markdown text editor

1572 00:52:20,209 —> 00:52:21,509 and they have the

1573 00:52:21,709 —> 00:52:23,420 ability to create a link.

1574 00:52:23,420 —> 00:52:25,883 Not quite as nice looking but

1575 00:52:26,083 —> 00:52:27,236 what you do is

1576 00:52:27,436 —> 00:52:29,790 then you create the you get the

1577 00:52:29,790 —> 00:52:31,114 link to your form

1578 00:52:31,314 —> 00:52:33,528 once you’ve published your form

1579 00:52:33,650 —> 00:52:35,684 and then just copy the U. R. L.

1580 00:52:35,884 —> 00:52:37,718 In there and then create a link

1581 00:52:37,950 —> 00:52:42,728 and set the link to that. So now in a

1582 00:52:43,550 —> 00:52:44,925 dashboard you can

1583 00:52:45,125 —> 00:52:47,256 you could create, you know,

1584 00:52:47,456 —> 00:52:49,940 all of your create new inside of a

1585 00:52:49,940 —> 00:52:52,919 text block and then that would open up,

1586 00:52:53,119 —> 00:52:55,210 it would open up in a new tab.

1587 00:52:55,210 —> 00:52:57,022 So not still not as ideal

1588 00:52:57,222 —> 00:52:58,756 but at least gives you

1589 00:52:58,956 —> 00:53:00,500 that functionality to now

1590 00:53:00,500 —> 00:53:02,187 create a new record

1591 00:53:02,387 —> 00:53:04,035 off of a dashboard.

1592 00:53:04,235 —> 00:53:07,070 And we didn’t really say it but you

1593 00:53:07,070 —> 00:53:09,779 could put field side by side

1594 00:53:09,979 —> 00:53:11,966 in form on the forms.

1595 00:53:12,166 —> 00:53:14,520 Yeah. Interface forms which

1596 00:53:14,520 —> 00:53:16,842 is I think they describe it as

1597 00:53:17,042 —> 00:53:19,318 using the power of the Interface

1598 00:53:19,650 —> 00:53:20,988 designer or something.

1599 00:53:21,190 —> 00:53:22,518 Some language like that.

1600 00:53:22,850 —> 00:53:24,975 And that’s the advantage of doing

1601 00:53:25,175 —> 00:53:27,680 this piece in an Interface versus using an

1602 00:53:27,680 —> 00:53:29,618 Airtable form.

1603 00:53:30,550 —> 00:53:32,088 You can you have more control

1604 00:53:32,288 —> 00:53:33,085 over the design.

1605 00:53:33,285 —> 00:53:34,580 And because it is an Interface

1606 00:53:34,580 —> 00:53:38,088 page you could put a static image

1607 00:53:38,288 —> 00:53:40,108 next to your fields

1608 00:53:41,140 —> 00:53:42,675 instead of just at the top,

1609 00:53:42,874 —> 00:53:43,868 You can put multiple.

1610 00:53:43,890 —> 00:53:44,608 So if you,

1611 00:53:45,450 —> 00:53:46,698 I don’t know in

1612 00:53:46,740 —> 00:53:48,108 Photoshop or something

1613 00:53:48,750 —> 00:53:50,275 made like cool icons

1614 00:53:50,475 —> 00:53:51,807 for like step one.

1615 00:53:52,007 —> 00:53:54,620 Put in this, step two put in that here’s

1616 00:53:54,620 —> 00:53:55,689 an example image,

1617 00:53:55,889 —> 00:53:57,766 you can export that as an image

1618 00:53:57,966 —> 00:53:59,400 and put it on this page and

1619 00:53:59,400 —> 00:54:01,316 that would actually, you know,

1620 00:54:01,516 —> 00:54:03,360 help make this look pretty nice.

1621 00:54:03,360 —> 00:54:04,908 It’s a workaround

1622 00:54:05,240 —> 00:54:07,166 but it’s something that gives you

1623 00:54:07,366 —> 00:54:08,249 more flexibility

1624 00:54:08,449 —> 00:54:09,850 and of course putting similar

1625 00:54:09,850 —> 00:54:11,853 fields grouped visually.

1626 00:54:12,053 —> 00:54:13,669 Like you couldn’t do

1627 00:54:13,869 —> 00:54:15,608 with Airtable form view.

1628 00:54:16,440 —> 00:54:16,898 Yeah,

1629 00:54:17,540 —> 00:54:19,156 yeah, for sure. So yeah,

1630 00:54:19,356 —> 00:54:20,719 so there’s advantages

1631 00:54:20,919 —> 00:54:22,860 especially as they flush this out

1632 00:54:22,860 —> 00:54:23,955 required fields

1633 00:54:24,155 —> 00:54:26,849 would also be another reason to do it,

1634 00:54:27,049 —> 00:54:28,480 but to get to this form

1635 00:54:28,480 —> 00:54:30,142 you have to be logged in

1636 00:54:30,342 —> 00:54:31,937 so this currently is not

1637 00:54:32,137 —> 00:54:33,398 accessible externally.

1638 00:54:33,440 —> 00:54:34,801 Yeah, it’s still not

1639 00:54:35,001 —> 00:54:36,507 Interfaces is still not

1640 00:54:36,707 —> 00:54:38,340 the solution for if you want

1641 00:54:38,340 —> 00:54:40,232 to display data to people

1642 00:54:40,432 —> 00:54:43,108 who shouldn’t have access to your base

1643 00:54:43,540 —> 00:54:44,218 then

1644 00:54:44,640 —> 00:54:46,118 use something else is

1645 00:54:46,210 —> 00:54:48,571 still the direction I think

1646 00:54:48,771 —> 00:54:50,408 they’ve talked about

1647 00:54:52,740 —> 00:54:54,848 Various separate discussions,

1648 00:54:54,970 —> 00:54:56,648 improving functionality

1649 00:54:56,848 —> 00:54:58,398 for permissions and then

1650 00:54:58,840 —> 00:55:01,220 separate discussion for increasing

1651 00:55:01,420 —> 00:55:03,180 accessibility of Interfaces.

1652 00:55:03,180 —> 00:55:04,779 So people outside of the base

1653 00:55:04,979 —> 00:55:06,598 might be able to interact with it

1654 00:55:06,940 —> 00:55:08,908 but that’s not there yet. So

1655 00:55:10,240 —> 00:55:11,518 just keep that in mind.

1656 00:55:11,840 —> 00:55:12,808 Yeah.

1657 00:55:13,340 —> 00:55:15,104 Yeah, so definitely check it out,

1658 00:55:15,304 —> 00:55:17,350 play with it. We’d love to hear how you’re

1659 00:55:17,350 —> 00:55:17,983 using forms.

1660 00:55:18,183 —> 00:55:19,397 Maybe this will show up.

1661 00:55:19,597 —> 00:55:21,520 Oh, one other thing that we should mention

1662 00:55:21,520 —> 00:55:23,764 is because of this new release,

1663 00:55:23,964 —> 00:55:25,623 they actually pushed back

1664 00:55:25,823 —> 00:55:26,950 the deadline for the

1665 00:55:26,950 —> 00:55:29,453 contest for the Interface contest

1666 00:55:29,653 —> 00:55:32,790 to let you explore and maybe in corporate

1667 00:55:32,790 —> 00:55:34,898 forms into your Interface. So

1668 00:55:35,040 —> 00:55:37,388 I think they pushed it back two weeks

1669 00:55:37,870 —> 00:55:39,688 mid August now.

1670 00:55:40,540 —> 00:55:42,389 Yeah, so yeah, so

1671 00:55:42,589 —> 00:55:45,802 so it’ll be interesting to see

1672 00:55:46,002 —> 00:55:48,480 how forms are used in

1673 00:55:48,480 —> 00:55:50,098 there. So.

1674 00:55:50,440 —> 00:55:52,127 Alright, one quick shout out

1675 00:55:52,327 —> 00:55:53,989 and then I don’t know Kamille

1676 00:55:54,189 —> 00:55:55,020 were kind of up on

1677 00:55:55,020 —> 00:55:56,616 the hour so we can save yours

1678 00:55:56,816 —> 00:55:57,492 for next week

1679 00:55:57,692 —> 00:55:59,258 or if it’s quick we can get to it.

1680 00:55:59,780 —> 00:56:02,518 It’s not really quick. So

1681 00:56:02,980 —> 00:56:07,018 yeah, we’ll do that for next week.

1682 00:56:07,040 —> 00:56:08,682 But yeah, let’s just end up.
