Add fields to an existing schema
To add fields to an existing schema:
-
Click your avatar in the bottom-left corner of your tenant.
-
In Feature Settings, select the application containing your desired schema (i.e, Registry settings, Result schemas, Run schemas, etc).
-
Click the schema you need to edit.
-
Click the + icon in the top-left corner of the table.
-
Enter your field information. Enable tooltips for applicable schemas by entering descriptive text on schema field (optional).
-
Click ✔ to save.
Note: If you're adding a new required field to a schema that has already been used to record data, you will need to create a new schema instead.
Edit a field’s data type
To edit the data type of a field:
-
In the schema, hover over the field and click the pencil icon.
-
In the Definitions column, select the data type.
-
Click the ✔ to save.
Note: To rename a Result schema field, contact your Customer Success Manager.
Reorder table columns
You can reorder schema fields to help your team stay organized. To reorder the columns in a table, reorder the fields in the schema settings. To reorder table columns:
-
In the schema, hover over the field(s) you need to move.
-
Click and hold the perpendicular arrows that display to the left of the field, then drag the field into place.
Note: The row order on the Results Schemas page corresponds to the column order in its corresponding Result table. Only newly created Results tables reflect changes to the column order.

You can remove schema fields two ways:
-
Archiving removes a field from its schema.
