1. 1

   Click + in the header, name the field and choose a type: text, long text, number, currency, percent, date, checkbox, single or multiple select, email, URL, phone, rating, attachment, formula, AI field, link, lookup, count, autonumber or created time.

2. 2

   Select fields: add options and pick a color for each. New options can also be added straight from a cell.

3. 3

   Change a field later with “Edit field” in its ⌄ menu — existing values are converted where possible.

4. 4

   The first field is the primary field: it names each record in links, cards and the expanded view.
