Added We’re introducing a lite version of our portal on the Core plan! This Lite Portal allows for basic functionality using one table and can be really great if you don’t need all the customization options the full portal offers on the Advanced plan. If you’re on the Core plan, you can check it out right now!
Added You can now link directly to a specific view in your portal or shared view! This is another much-requested feature and can be really useful if you want to provide your users with a direct link to what matters to them most!
Improved We have made some changes to the linked record filtering section of the form settings to make the features available there a little less confusing.
Added You can now set a minimum number of linked records for a field.
Fixed Several bug fixes. As always we’ll notify affected users directly.
Added We’re introducing the form view to portals and shared views! With this new view type you can turn your portal/shared view table into a form for creating new records. This can be useful if you have users that need to fill out several different forms. With the form view you can share a single link with them (to the portal or shared view) and they can fill out all the forms they need! If you’re using this in a portal, all form view submissions will be linked to the logged in user automatically as well! As an added benefit, since these are subforms, they don’t count towards your plan’s form limit! :slight_smile:
Improved The bases list on your main dashboard now shows the number of enabled extensions and automations for each base.
Improved We have added a button to the dashboard to schedule a meeting with our support team. We are always available to help, and now it’s easier than ever to schedule a call with us!
Removed We are deprecating custom filters and sort conditions for views in the portal and shared view. If you are using these settings in your existing views you will be able to keep using them, but any new views will only allow using Airtable views to define filter and sort conditions. Airtable views provide a more predictable result and have been our recommended option for a while now. From now on, they will be the only option to define filters and sorts in the portal and shared view.
Improved We moved the Record URL Formula from its own button to the Create & Expand Records section of the table’s settings.
Improved We’ve improved the drag and drop functionality for attachment fields. In the past this was sometimes a little tricky to get right on some browsers but should always work as expected now.
Improved We’ve introduced a popup alerting users of unsaved changes when exiting a child form configuration screen quickly after making a change. In the past this could sometimes cause those changes to not be saved.
Improved We have renamed the “Save form progress” feature to “Restore unsaved sessions” and have adjusted that setting’s subtitle to better reflect what this does as this was causing some confusion among users.
Improved The way the portal search functions has been changed slightly. It will now only perform the search when the user hits enter or the search button, instead of filtering the records dynamically while typing.
Improved We have added Airtable icons in parts of the configuration in which we use values directly from Airtable, for example views or fields.
Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.
