To create a new column

• select ‘New Column’ button

• enter a value. Values need to be defined if your field is of multi-answer nature. If your field requires a checklist, drop down or radio button response, you will need to define each of these responses on a separate line in the values box. For example If your field is entitled “Hobbies” and your field type is a checklist, each response you have (i.e. gardening, sport, music, running, reading etc) will need to typed into the Values box, each one on a separate line.
