Favorite Airtable Feature: How the the custom API documentation adjusts to the specifics of whatever base you are working with. Very cool. Now just do the same thing with user-facing documentation based on what Airtable features a base is using!

Hi All, I'm late to this post but I just joined the community from the onboarding webinar hosted today and I'm poking around a bit! I'm particularly curious if anyone has used Airtable for similar processes, but I have not yet come across it.

Name: Madisen

Company/Role: R&D Program Lead

Location: Sacramento, CA

What my team is doing with Airtable: We are using it as phenotyping software to evaluate commercial crop varieties, hosting a varieties catalog and germplasm inventory, and keeping a trialing calendar.

What we hope to do with Airtable: Right now we export our phenotypic data with python to custom software that we do not have a UI for. However this process can be cumbersome. I like to look at data before it's been exported so i use AirTables features that are more like a spreadsheet: rollups and formulas. I would like to see these functions expanded into more statistical analysis. I also would like to display extensions in interfaces. There are certain extensions that offer better data visualization than what is available in interfaces.

Favorite Airtable Feature: Comments, revision history tracking, and interfaces built for specific permissions.

What my team is doing with Airtable: We are a large national retailer and hotel business with a network of about 2000 stores/venues. Using Airtable to track our pipeline of changes to the network (new locations, closures, etc) and the business approvals for them. 

What we hope to do with Airtable: We are replacing a Quickbase we will no longer have access to for business reasons and that whole system just feels tired, clunky, and outdated. So mainly I am keen to INNOVATE! Improve our processes in ways the team didn't even realise were a possibility.
