​

➕ To add a column:

2. Click Add Column +.
3. Configure the following fields:

Click Add Column to save.

🔧 Supported Column Types

Timely.ai currently supports three data types for Table columns:

⚙️ Best practice:
Use string for most descriptive text fields, and enable semantic search for fields where Agents need to interpret meaning — e.g. questions, feedbacks, or messages.

You can manually add rows or have them created dynamically by Agents or Workflows.

​

• Click Add row + and fill in each column’s value.

​

✏️ To edit a row:

🧩 Step 4 — Update or Delete Tables

You can modify a Table’s metadata at any time:

• Click the ✏️ Edit button to update the name or description.
• Click the ⋮ menu to rearrange or delete a Table.

⚠️ Warning:
Deleting a Table permanently removes all its data — this action cannot be undone.
