With this extension, you can share a basic editor for an Airtable view. You can decide which fields are shown in the editor, and it gives you a password-protected URL to share with those you’d like to give access to.

💡This extension is ideal for an employer who wants some employees to do light work on Airtable with limited access.

Overall Limitations

Major

• Records limit: the max number of records that can be loaded at once is 500. (capped for performance reasons)
• Grouped records: grouping feature is not supported.

Minor

• Filter and sort: filtering and sorting settings are inherited from the defined Airtable view. No control options in the Basic Editor.
• Deleting records: feature is not supported.
• Bulk edit: editing values in bulk is not supported. Only 1 at a time (no shift+select).
• Live updates: changes that are made on Airtable won’t reflect in the Basic Editor until the page is refreshed. e.g. filtered records won’t be removed/added and sorted records won’t move until page is refreshed manually.
• Row number: the row number on the left side of each record is not displayed.
• Undo changes: no option for Command+Z.
• Column width: unadjustable.
• Row height: unadjustable.

Notes

Inserting records: editor users can add new records by clicking a button that brings up an Airtable form (not like the bottom row in Airtable).

Fields detection: field names are automatically detected, but not sorted like Airtable. However, you can re-order columns manually. If a field is completely empty, it must be entered manually. Also, if a field name is updated in Airtable, it has to be updated in miniExtensions as well.
