Data Quality user documentation | Creating new fields

Still using the Classic interface?

Please view the documentation for our older solution which details configuration using the Classic interface rather than Power Apps.

Additional data fields

If you configured any additional data in the previous section you will need to create new fields in your forms so that this data can be saved when it's returned from our APIs. For each data item you enabled repeat the process below:

Select Tables from the left hand menu of the main Power Apps interface.
Click the Table you want to configure (e.g. Account).
Click the Edit button at the top of the columns and data panel.
Click New column in the command bar.
Give your field an appropriate Display name and optional description.
Select appropriate options for the Data type and Format fields.
All other fields can be configured as per Microsoft's documentation if needed.
Click Save to save the new column.

Remember the field names

Make a note of these newly created field names as you'll need to know them when adding fields to a form and mapping fields in future sections.

Special fields
