Fields
Fields are the columns on a table. Each field has a type that controls what you can store, how cells render, and which filters and sorts apply.
Text, number, date, and boolean fields store values you type. Enrichment fields store provider results with capability labels in the header.
Overview
Every row in a table shares the same fields. When you add a field, it appears on all existing rows (empty until filled). Appenda uses the word field in the product and in version history.
Scalar fields (text, number, date, boolean) are the types you pick from + on the grid header. Enrichment fields come from the provider catalog and run against each row.
Field types
| Type | Stores | Add from + | Example use | Filter | Sort |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Text | Plain string | Yes | Name, domain, notes, email you typed | Text operators (contains, equals, is empty, is any of) | Yes |
| Number | Numeric value | Yes | Employee count, score, amount | Equals, greater/less than, is empty | Yes |
| Date | Calendar date | Yes | Close date, follow-up date | Same comparisons as number (stored as a date value) | Yes |
| Boolean | True or false | Yes | Opted in, qualified, do not contact | Is true, is false, is empty | Yes |
| Enrichment | Provider result for the row | Yes (Enrichment) | Email finder, company data, HTTP request | Filter on the displayed result like text | Yes |
Text
Use for names, domains, free-form notes, and any value you type or paste. Text fields accept filters such as contains, equals, is empty, and is any of (for a short list of values).
Common GTM labels (email, phone, company, job title, LinkedIn URL, location) also pick up matching header icons automatically.
Number
Use for counts, scores, and amounts. Filters use equals, not equals, and greater/less than comparisons, plus empty checks.
Date
Use for close dates, meeting dates, and follow-ups. The grid shows a calendar date; filters compare dates the same way as numbers under the hood.
Boolean
Use for yes/no flags. Cells render as true or false. Filters include is true, is false, and empty checks.
Enrichment
Enrichment fields call a provider capability per row (for example find email from domain). The header shows the provider logo and capability label, not just the provider name.
Results can be success, warning, error, or in progress. Run options live on the toolbar Run menu and in the Enrichments tab. Provider setup is under Integrations.
Add a field
- Open a table.
- Click + on the right edge of the grid header row.
- Pick Text, Number, Date, Boolean, or Enrichment.
- For scalar types, the field is created immediately. For Enrichment, pick a capability from the catalog and finish config in the sidebar.
Rename, hide, reorder, or delete from the field header menu. Show all and Hide all live under toolbar Fields.
Semantic header icons
Appenda assigns header icons from field labels when they match common GTM names. You do not configure icons separately.
| Label pattern | Icon hint |
|---|---|
| Email, work email | |
| Phone, mobile | Phone |
| Company, organization | Building |
| Job title, role | Briefcase |
| LinkedIn, website, domain, URL | Link |
| Location, city, country | Map pin |
| Name, contact name | User |
| Enrichment capability | Provider logo |
CSV import uses the same heuristics when you map columns.
Tips
- Pick the type before you paste data. Changing type after creation is not supported; add a new field and copy values if needed.
- Formula fields are not available from + today. Sort and filter skip formula fields when they appear on older tables.
- Enrichment columns count toward Hide all in the Fields menu like any other field.
