Hour 3: Exploring Views in Airtable

Part 1: Introduction to different view types

Grid: The default table view that displays records in rows and columns.

Calendar: Displays records with date fields in a calendar layout.

Kanban: Organizes records in a visual board based on the values of a single select or collaborator field.

Gallery: Presents records as cards with a featured image and key information.

Gantt: Displays records with start and end dates in a timeline view to visualize project progress.

Part 2: Customizing and filtering views

To create a new view, click the "Add view" button in the view bar.

Choose the desired view type and give it a name.

Customize the view by using the options available for the specific view type. For example, in a Kanban view, you can choose the field to group records by.

Apply filters to display only the records that meet specific criteria. Click the "Filter" button and set the conditions based on field values.

Part 3: Hands-on exercise: Creating and customizing views

In the "Tasks" table, create a Kanban view to visualize tasks based on their status.

Customize the Kanban view by grouping tasks by the "status" field.

Create a Calendar view to display tasks based on their due dates.

Apply a filter to the Calendar view to show only tasks assigned to the logged-in user.

In the "Team Members" table, create a Gallery view to display team members with their photos and contact information.

Customize the Gallery view by selecting the "photo" field as the featured image and displaying the name, role, email, and phone fields on the card.

In this hour, students will learn about the different view types available in Airtable and how to create, customize, and filter views to display records in various ways. They will practice these skills by creating and customizing views for the "Tasks" and "Team Members" tables.
