Columns define the individual data items that can be used to store information in a table. Create new columns to capture data when existing standard tables don’t have columns that meet your requirements. After you create a new column, be sure to include it on the appropriate forms and views for the table so that they're available in your app. For information about the different column types, see[Types of columns](../data-platform/types-of-fields.md).
