Which of the following statements about Airtable are true? (Select all that apply)

Answer:
Airtable's core is a relational database that allows for structuring and connecting business data.

Airtable is a no-code platform that allows builders to create apps without writing code.

Question:  
Which of the following statements are true about Airtable apps?

Answer:

Interfaces are built on top of a base and can have multiple pages.

Question:  

Which of the following statements about workspaces in Airtable are true? (Select all that apply)

Answer:

Moving a base to a different workspace will also move all related interfaces.

A workspace can have multiple owners.

Users with access to a workspace can access all apps within it.

Question:  

True or False? End users build apps.

Answer:

False

Question:
What is a workspace?

Answer:

A workspace houses a collection of bases and interfaces between a group of collaborators

Correct. A workspace houses a collection of bases and interfaces between a group of collaborators

Question:  

True or False: The features available to your app, is based on the pricing plan and add-ons that the workspace is on.

Answer:

True

The right answer is true - Pricing plans are set on a workspace level and all bases and interfaces within the workspace will have access to whatever the workspace pricing plan offers. If you move a workspace from a Free workspace to an Enterprise workspace, your base will suddenly have more features available as a result.  

Question:  

True or False: Workspace collaborators have access to all bases and interfaces within the workspace

Answer:

True

True: Workspace collaborators automatically have access to all bases and interfaces that reside in that workspace. If you want to avoid this, you can invite collaborators to a specific base or interface within a workspace.

Question:  

True or False: An interface can have multiple bases.

Answer:

False

An interface can only have one base. A base, however, can have multiple bases built on top of it, which in turn can include multiple interface pages. The base holds all the data that the interface uses. If you need data from a different base, it is possible to sync a table from another base to the underlying base.

Question:  

Can you move an interface to another workspace without the underlying base?

Answer:
No, you can only move bases to other workspaces. All interfaces built on top of the base will follow to the new workspace.

You can only move bases to other workspaces. All interfaces built on top of the base will follow to the new workspace. Interfaces cannot exist independently of their underlying base, however, you can invite users to collaborate with you only on the interface and they will not be able to see the underlying base.

Question:

Which user persona are you? You might identify with more than one, in which case, list your primary persona.

Answer:

Your response:Builder

Question:  

If you have commenter access to an interface, can you share the interface with somebody else and give them editor permission level?

Answer:

No, you can only set a commenter or read-only permission level when sharing the interface with somebody else. If your permission level is 'commenter', then you can only set commenter or read-only permission level when sharing the interface with somebody else. 

Question:  

Which of these surfaces might the builder use?

Answer:

Workspace settings

Base (creator access)

Interface Designer
Automations panel

Builders with Owner permission level would use the workspace settings. All builders need creator access to the base which automatically grants them access to the automations panel and Interface Designer. While Builders have access to the published interfaces, they do not interact with the data here. The same user, however, might both be a builder and an end user in the same app and interact in the published interface in their capacity as an end user. 

Question: 

How can you tell which permission level you have been granted to a specific base or interface?

Answer:
If you click to share the base or interface in question, you can tell what your own permission level is by looking at what permission level you can offer to others. The highest level available is the one you have.

If you click to share the base or interface in question, you can tell what your own permission level is by looking at what permission level you can offer to others. The highest level available is the one you have.

Question:

Which of these permissions could an end-user have?

Answer:

Editor

Commenter

Read-only

An end user can either have editor, commenter or read-only permission depending on what their role is. Some end-users will need the ability to edit the data in the app, whereas others will just need the ability to comment or view the data.

Question:  

If a user is in charge of designing interfaces, which type of permission privileges should they have?

Answer:

Creator - It’s in the name, they ‘create’ the interface for other users

Creators have creator access to the interface and can therefore access interface designer which allows them to create, design and delete interfaces for end users.

Question:  

Can a user have a lower permission level on the base than what they have on the interface? Ie. can a user have editor permission to the interface but only commenter access to the underlying base?

Answer:
Yes, a user with commenter permissions to the base will automatically be given commenter permission to the interfaces as well, but it is possible to upgrade them to editor on the interface while keeping the lower level of commenter in the base. However, if the user has creator privileges in the base, their interface privileges are locked at creator.

Question:  

Can a user have access to a workspace and only the interfaces within the workspace?

Answer:
No, when you share a workspace with other users they automatically inherit access to everything within the workspace which includes all bases and interfaces.

There is no way to choose whether workspace collabor ators should have access to either interfaces or bases. All bases within the workspace will be accessible by all workspace collaborators.

Question:  Describe a workflow in your own words

Answer: A system that is a collection of data and processes

Question:  

What persona types are Felicia, Bailey and Jac?

Answer: End-users. They are end users, because they don’t decide how the app should look but they know how to use the part of the app that is relevant to them and their steps in the workflow

Question:  

What permission level do Felicia, Bailey and Jac have?

Answer:

With editor privileges they can edit data in the interfaces but not change the overall design of the interface.

Question:  

How come Felicia, Bailey and Jac can’t see each others interfaces?

Answer:

They are part of the same app, but the different interfaces have only been shared with the relevant people, ie. IT Coordination has not been shared with Felicia or Jac because it is not relevant to their roles.

That's right, the interface is the holder of pages. 

Question 6:  

What is the difference between having editor permission and creator permission to an interface?

Answer:

End users have editor permission and that means they can edit the data in the interface according to how the creator has designed it. Creators have access to Interface Designer and can design the interface pages according to a workflow map, determining which data the end user with editor permission should be able to change.

That's right, end users have editor permission and that means they can edit the data in the interface according to how the creator has designed it.

Question:  

True or False: Even if you are an end user with editor permissions to an interface you won't necessarily be able to edit all the fields. The builder determines what can and cannot be edited through 'user actions' that are set in Interface Designer. 

 Answer:

True

Question:  

What action can a user with creator access take if they want to give another user creator permission to an interface?

Answer:

Navigate to the underlying base and share the base with the user and picking 'Creator' as permission level.

It it not possible to share just an interface with another user and give them creator permission. If you want to give another user creator permissions to your interface, you need to invite them as creator to the underlying base. 

Question:  

What can end users do when the builder enables the search option?

Answer:

Search within the records shown

Question:  

True or False: If another user has requested access to an interface, it is only possible to grant them read-only access, even if you have editor access yourself. 

Answer:

False

If you have a permission level higher than read-only, you will be able to grant other users a higher permission level - although requests do default to 'read-only'. 

Question:  

What does the builder determine when designing a page in the interface?

Answer:

The source data for the interface page

The layout to visualize the data

When designing a page in the interface the builder needs to pick the source data and a layout to visualise it in the page. The builder can also change the color scheme of the interface, but that is not part of the page design specifically. 

Question:  

If 'add/delete record inline' has been enabled by the builder, how can end users add new records in a timeline layout?

Answer:

By clicking and dragging to create a new record


Question:

True or False? The order of records within a table in a relational database does not matter.
