Create a new element

Create a new element in the project view

To add a new element, simply press on the plus sign within any tab to create a new element. 

Result:

Add data to your new element using field

Once you create the new element you can use field to pull data into the element. See How elements get their data: field, element and transform to learn more.

Create a new element in data process

You can create a new element in the data without manually adding a new element to the project view. 

Add a data process and include code that defines your new column. Below are two different examples, one to create a sum column and another to create a variable based off existing data.

rows.forEach(function(row) {
    //Create sum column
    row.Q2_sum = (+row.Q2_1) + (+row.Q2_2) + (+row.Q2_3)	

    //Create variable based off logic
    if (row.S14 == 2 || row.S14 == 3) row.awareness = "Aware"
    else row.awareness = "Not aware"
});

After you run the code, and reload the project all new columns appear as elements in the Fields tab.
