Views
What a view and an interface can do: filters, creation, the published view limits and record-level access.
A view filters, sorts and groups the rows of one table. An interface shows pages built on the tables of one base.
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Views per table | 1,000 (the views article) |
| Views per base | 1,000 (the plans page) |
| Interfaces or pages per base | not published |
Filters
A view cannot filter by the current user.
A view filter reads only fields of its own table.
Creation
A view can be created, moved into a section and configured only in the browser. The API and the MCP read views. They update filters and visible fields. They do not create a view or a section.
The API exposes which fields are visible in a grid view. It does not expose their order, filters, sorts or groups. The MCP view configuration read does expose them.
Interfaces
An interface reads only the data of its own base. A list page has one source table.
Interface-only access with “viewer’s records” is the only record-level permission boundary Airtable offers.
