Using mobile interfaces in Airtable

Mobile interfaces overview

Mobile interfaces in Airtable allow for mobile-optimized versions of Airtable's web and desktop experiences with no configuration from interface builders or collaborators.

Using interfaces on mobile allows users to do things like:

Review and take immediate actions, like reviewing open bugs and assigning DRIs.
Edit or update field data.
Add records through forms.
Approve or reject proposed copy and assets for things like marketing launches or sales campaigns.
Comment or respond to project collaborators.
Search for, review, and share related project tickets, information, etc., with collaborators.
Update project statuses and provide relevant feedback.

Using mobile interfaces

Open the Airtable app on your mobile device.
Locate your preferred interface from the Airtable app home screen.
Tap your preferred interface to open.

Once your interface is open, you can view full-screen pages of list, gallery, calendar, or kanban elements and search and filter records using the tab or dropdown filter elements.
