Service accounts
Service accounts are non-human Airtable accounts created for programmatic access, automation, and integrations. They have their own access credentials and workspace- or base-level permissions so applications and automations can act independently of individual user accounts.

Single sign-on (SSO) / SAML authentication
Single sign-on (SSO) / SAML authentication lets administrators connect Airtable to their organization's SAML 2.0 identity provider so users sign in with corporate credentials. Admins configure the SAML connection (upload IdP metadata or certificate, set attribute mappings) and can enforce SSO for organization users, supporting both IdP- and SP-initiated login flows.

Snapshots
Snapshots are automatically captured point-in-time copies of an entire base that capture its schema, views, interfaces, forms and records. They can be created and stored to preserve a specific base state and later reviewed or restored. Each plan provides a different snapshot frequency and time that the snapshots are stored for.

Synced tables
Synced tables create a read-only table in your base that mirrors a table or view from another Airtable base, workspace, or supported external source. You choose the source and which fields to include, and the synced table updates to reflect changes made in the source (edits must be made in the source). You can also map fields from different tables to combine/merge in the destination table.

Timezones and Locales
Timezones and locales are base-level settings that determine how Airtable displays and interprets dates, times, numbers, and currencies across a base. You configure them in a base’s settings to control date/time conversion and locale-specific formatting for fields, imports/exports, and formula outputs.

Trash
Trash is Airtable’s recovery interface with two levels: base-level trash (shows and can restore deleted tables, views, fields, extensions, interfaces, and records for 7 days) and workspace-level trash (shows and can restore deleted bases/workspaces for 30 days by default, configurable up to 180 days on Enterprise). Users with appropriate permissions can view, restore, or permanently remove items from trash; base trash can be manually emptied while workspace trash cannot.

Two-way synced data
Two-way synced data synchronizes records between a source and a synced table in both directions: edits made in the destination update the source, and updates in the source appear in the destination. This requires enabling bidirectional sync and respects the sync configuration and permissions set on the source.

Undo/redo
Undo/redo lets users reverse or reapply recent changes made in a base during the current editing session. It covers common actions such as cell edits, record creation or deletion, and is accessible via the Undo and Redo commands or keyboard shortcuts.

User roles
User roles let you assign permissions to collaborators at the workspace or base level, controlling which actions they can perform (for example: creating or editing records, commenting, viewing, and managing settings). Roles determine access to features such as table and field editing, sharing and link management, and workspace administration.

Utilisation mode in Timeline interfaces
The Utilization function in Timeline view calculates and displays resource allocation as a percentage by comparing records’ allocated hours (with configurable cadence) against available hours (static or looked up from linked resource records), with options to account for days off and to color-code thresholded utilizations in the view’s summary bar.

Video field agent
Video Field Agent is an AI-powered field that generates short videos (up to 8 seconds) from images or text prompts directly inside Airtable, optionally including audio, and uses Google's Veo 3 model. Workspace admins enable it via AI Labs and add the Video Field Agent to a base to generate videos inline; generation consumes credits based on duration and audio settings.

Views (Grid, Calendar, Kanban, Gallery, Form)
Views provide multiple, configurable ways to visualize and interact with a table's records—Grid, Calendar, Kanban, Gallery, and Form—each presenting the same underlying data in a different layout. Each view can have its own filters, sorts, groupings, and field visibility; forms are used for data entry while calendar, kanban, gallery, and grid support browsing, scheduling, and drag-and-drop workflows.

XML import extension
The XML import extension converts an XML file (for example, an RSS or Atom feed) into Airtable records. After adding the extension you upload or drag-and-drop an XML file, choose a target table and enter an XPath, map relative XPaths to destination fields while previewing the records to be created, and then create records; the extension remembers your XPath mappings for future imports.
