🔴 On2Air Forms has been shutdown to focus on our On2Air Backups Airtable app Learn more about automated Airtable backups - on2air.com
You can use On2Air Formulas to live calculate data on a form, like adding quantities, calculating totals, and more.
The Airtable Formulas and Rollups you currently have in your base won’t update live on a form due to Airtable API limitations, so you will need to substitute your Airtable formula with an On2Air Formula to calculate your data.
To use On2Air Formulas, find your formula and use the Airtable field variable as the value like you would in Airtable.
