Columns and processors

Every column in a grid runs a processor. This page covers adding a column, wiring it to other columns, and controlling when it runs.

Add a column

Click Add Column at the right end of the header row (⌘L), or right-click a header to insert one beside it. Pick a processor from the pane, by category or through the search box, fill in its settings, and click Add To Grid. Every processor is cataloged under Processors.

Reference other columns

Type / in any of a processor’s input fields to insert a column. A picker opens listing your columns, each with a preview of its value, and the one you choose drops in as a chip. Columns that hold rich objects let you drill in and pick a single field.

This is how columns chain. A research column can take your company name and website columns as its input, and when those values change, the research is marked to run again.

Control when a column runs

Open Run Settings in the column’s settings to run it only when a condition is true. The condition works like a Python expression, for example ${revenue} > 1000, and you insert columns into it with / just like anywhere else. Rows where the condition is false show the Skipped status and cost nothing.

To try several sources in order and keep the first result, use the Waterfall processor, see Advanced processors.

Credits

Each processor shows an amber credits pill in its settings, so you can see the cost per cell before adding it. AI processors are metered by usage, so run a few rows first to gauge the cost. See Plans and credits.

Manage columns

Double-click a header to rename a column, and drag headers to reorder them. Right-click a header for Edit config, Insert column left or right, Duplicate, Sort A → Z or Z → A, and Delete column. Use Freeze columns in the toolbar to pin the first few while you scroll.
