# Data Table Editor

## Overview

The Avonni Data Table Editor simplifies the customization of the Avonni Datatable. With this tool, you cannot use just the Property panel for modifications. Instead, you can directly edit the datatable, offering a more user-friendly and efficient way to tailor it according to your needs, providing enhanced control and flexibility.

## Drag and drop fields.

Fields can be dragged and dropped into the Datatable canvas to create columns for your datatable.

{% hint style="info" %}
The field panel automatically appears when you add a get records collection (a variable) or use the Query data source. This panel is integrated into the data table, allowing you to build your query directly.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.avonnicomponents.com/flow/tutorials/components/data-table/tips-and-tricks/data-table-editor.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
