Airtable form view filter how to#
On another tangent, I think this might be similar to an earlier thread on how to filter using fields in two linked forms.
Airtable form view filter mac#
This should be ok on either a Mac or iOS though I always go and double check it removed the field after toggling it off and then going all the way back to toggle it back on (that’s much easier on the Mac). Try setting Many to Many and then toggling the “show inverse relationship” option on the “Link to Form” side of the relationship. when looking at a wine, you can see which stores you linked). I’m a little confused because if you have two forms, one for wines and one for stores, which have a many to many link between the two and you’ve ticked the “show inverse relationship” on both sides (make sure to toggle it if you changed the type to delete and recreate the field), then on both sides you should have a multicolumn list view embedded in your record that gives you what I suspect you’re after (e.g. I feel I must be missing a trick – this seems to be handled relatively elegantly with AirTable – but all my data is in TF and AT is too much for a number of reasons – so I’m sure I’m missing some smart search function or clever way to attach (I could create five source fields and just use a single link – but that seems a bit clumsy).Īnyway would love to figure this out – I’m doing this all on iOS and don’t have Mac – which might also be an issue I realize. Which seems to mean it’s impossible to search eg I can’t go to the wine form – search on “store a” and see which wines have “store a” in their source options. And I can make it multi – so I can link to a bunch of stores.īut because it’s a multi link it just shows that field as blank in the overview – if you click into the record you can see there are two stores attached in the source form. So I can set up a record in Wine and link it to the Store form. Let’s say I want to have records of those stores in a separate form, not just a multi-check box. Var select = document.querySelector("#emoji_choice") įorm.Apologies – the only reference I could find to this was from years ago – so I think I might be missing something.Īnd I want a record of which store I bought it from. var form = document.querySelector("#voting-form") We’ll use Axios here, since it’s a nice dependancy-free Ajax library.
Let’s POST the data, directly through JavaScript, via Ajax.
When the user submits our form, let’s create a new entry in our database (Airtable spreadsheet). How about a form where you vote for a favorite emoji: A poll is a basic example of something we can design and build, and needs a database to be useful. We’re front end developers, so let’s build something functional. You get great JSON API’s for all the CRUD actions: Create, Read, Update, Delete.
You can now not only view this data in Airtable’s nice UI, but programmatically access it. Then each row in the spreadsheet is an entry in the database. Those would be four columns in the spreadsheet: name (string), complete (checkbox/boolean), category (multi-select), photos (files). You’d want to store things like the name of the project, whether it’s complete or not, the category of project, and some photos. Imagine building “Project Progress Tracker”. This is what I want out of a data storage system.”Īirtable lets you build spreadsheets. For the first time, I felt like: “This is a database for me. I came across Airtable at a recent hackathon-esque event, when a fellow developer suggested we use it as a way to store and use our data.
