To add a field (column) to your data list, simply scroll as far right as you can on your data list, then click the "+ New column" button. Note that we only support manually adding one field at a time.
Select the type of data that will be stored in the new field. Give the new field a descriptive name. Then set the properties related to this field, and click "Save" bottom to save your settings. You should now be able to see the new field in your data list.
