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.
Example code
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.
