Adding a field
Click the plus icon beside the Untitled number field to add a new field.
Give the field a name and choose a field type. You can also make fields required, and give a default value. You can also create rules for validation, visibility, and appearance of the field. Learn more about using fields here.
Editing a field
If you want to modify a field, click the down arrow (▼) next to the field name and click the Edit field. Click Done once you are done with your changes. You cannot change the type of field after you insert values in order to protect the data integrity.
Deleting a field
To delete a field, click the down arrow (▼) next to the field name and click the Delete field.
If that field is used in a formula in a flow, you will be prompted to remove the dependencies first. After removing the dependencies, you can safely delete the dataset.
Adding/Deleting a row
To add rows, enter the number of rows you would like to add in the field that's present below the last row of the dataset and click Add.
To delete a specific row, hover over the serial number of the row you would like to delete and select the checkbox. The serial number is shown to the left of the first field of your dataset. After selecting the checkbox, click Delete in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Adding and editing field values
You can add values to a specific field or modify the existing values of the field in your dataset in two ways. You can either do an inline edit or open the dataset row as a separate form and make your changes accordingly.
To modify a dataset field value in its form view,
- Click the Expand row icon
beside the Key field. - Add or modify the field values of the dataset row as necessary and your changes will be autosaved.
- Click the Link icon
to copy the row link and share it with a team member if you want to. - Click the Exit icon
to exit from the row and get back to the dataset view.
To modify a dataset field value inline,
- Navigate to the specific field and the exact row in which you would like to edit.
- Type the new value directly in the cell. Field types like dropdowns might require a double click.
- Press Enter or Tab after you are done with your changes.
You can also copy+paste values from any other spreadsheet. If you copy+paste values, make sure all of your fields and formats match the source file. The changes you make are always autosaved.
Exporting a dataset
You can export all the rows in your dataset to a CSV or a tab-separated file(TXT). Click Export in the upper-right corner of the screen and select your preferred file type. Click Export to complete the process.
After a successful export, you will be notified and the exported data will be sent to your email address.
