Create a Data List with AI

Use Create with AI to describe your requirements and review an Implementation Plan before confirming creation. Inspect and test the generated data list configuration before making it available to users.

Before you start: These instructions are for application administrators. Open the application you intend to change. If the creation entry or Build with AI is unavailable, ask your application administrator to confirm your access and the available features before proceeding.

Open your application and select Add resource to open New application resource. In the Create with AI area, select Data list, describe what you need, then select Start with AI.

Historical release UI • Shared entry, not a generated result. Source: October 29 release handoff archive; exact capture time unknown. Product pixels are cropped but not redrawn.

Explain what each record represents and which information you need to collect. Include the field names, data types and any configuration requirements that matter to your use case.

For example: Inventory management for office supplies with reorder levels.

The creation conversation stays in the New application resource dialog. Open the Implementation Plan and compare the proposed structure with your requirements.

Check the proposed fields and their types, and any views or forms included in the plan. Clarify missing or incorrect details in the conversation before confirming. The proposed configuration depends on your request; review the actual plan rather than assuming a fixed set of generated fields.

Confirm the plan to proceed with creation. Review the result card in the same dialog, then open the created data list to inspect its configuration.

Test the list and its forms with suitable example data before making it available to users. Check that the result matches your intended use.

You can continue editing fields, adding new fields and managing list views. Review any sample records before using them.

Open Ask AI → Build with AI, open the conversation history and select the saved creation conversation to continue improving the data list.

Restored saved-conversation example, documented October 30, 2026: a Document Library request in Build with AI. This illustrates continuation, not an approval-form or data-list result. The plan is collapsed; exact capture time is unknown.

Review before use: Draft changes are not automatically published. Follow the applicable review, testing, saving and publication steps for the resource you are changing.

Other creation approaches include configuring an empty data list manually, importing a .ydl definition, or starting from a built-in template. This guide covers AI-assisted creation.
