Duke Airtable: Getting Started

Duke had an enterprise agreement with Airtable. Duke Airtable users have the ability to invite other users as collaborators. 

 

Make sure when signing in to Airtable to look for Sign in with Single Sign On. You may be prompted for Duke Authentication. If you have issues accessing Airtable, try signing in using a new web browser session.

 

 

IMPORTANT: It is critical that you invite collaborators using the netid@duke.edu email format. For example, if you invite Jane Doe (netid abc123) using the email address of "jane.doe@duke.edu", this user will not be able use secure Duke authentication to access your Airtable workspace or base. Instead, invite "abc123@duke.edu" to collaborate with you in Airtable. Don't know a user's netid? Search the Duke Directory.

 

 

When creating workspaces, please include the department or project name. There is no formal naming convention but this practice helps collaborators when accessing multiple workspaces.
