Tips for Better AI Suggestions
-
Use a descriptive field name Example: Instead of "Type", use "Application Status" or "Task Priority".
-
Set table context The more specific your table name and existing fields are, the better the suggestions. Example: In a table named “Tasks”, a field called “Priority” will likely suggest:
Low
,Medium
,High
. -
Apply business terms Use industry-appropriate terminology in your field name to guide the AI. Example: For a field called “Candidate Stage”, suggestions might include:
Applied
,Screened
,Interviewed
,Hired
.
