You can create a **Custom column** based on your requirement. Name your field and choose your desired input format. The field can hold one of the following formats:

* **String**: You can add alphabets, numbers or alphanumerical inputs. Any number that is added will not have a numerical value (cannot be used for definite measure)
* **Number**: You can add numerical values to your field.
* **Boolean**: You can add Boolean Operators. Ex: '1' representing 'True' and '0' representing 'False'.
* **Date & Time**: You can add date, day and time inputs.
