Airtable is a flexible and friendly way for us to collaborate on tasks, projects, ideas and more. It’s like a spreadsheet, but much smarter. Airtable is a hybrid of spreadsheet and database. We can create our own database to store all our data in the form of spreadsheets.
Airtable bases give us the power of a database with all the familiarity of a spreadsheet. We can customize how we can present our information, and reflect our team’s processes, goals, and roles with views using Airtable. We can use Airtable forms to speed up data collection. We can organize our info with tables, records, and fields.
This is how Airtable looks:
Benefits of using Airtable
