In a structured sheet, columns are defined as fields rather than open-ended questions. A field specifies a precise data point to extract from each document, and the AI returns a structured, consistent value for every row.

Adding a field

  1. Open a structured sheet in the sheet editor.
  2. Click the + Add Field button at the far right of the column header row (it is always pinned to the end of the table).
  3. A new column appears with its header in edit mode. Type the field name and press Enter to confirm.
Field cells begin generating immediately for all documents currently in the sheet.

Naming fields effectively

Field names act as the extraction instruction. Clear, specific names produce better results:

CapacityInstalled capacity (MW)
DateCommercial operation date
PartyOfftaker name
TermPPA term (years)

Renaming a field

Click a field’s column header to enter edit mode. Update the name and press Enter or click away to save. Renaming a field triggers re-extraction for all cells in that column.

Resizing columns

Drag the resize handle on the right edge of any field column header to adjust its width. This is useful when field values vary significantly in length.

Processing states

Structured sheet cells follow the same processing states as document sheet cells:
IndicatorStatus
Clock iconPending
Spinning orange circleProcessing
Green checkmarkReady
Red XError

Row and column virtualization

Structured sheets use full virtualization — only the rows and columns visible on screen are rendered. This means sheets remain fast even with large numbers of documents and fields.

Adding documents

See Adding Documents and Questions for instructions on adding documents to a structured sheet. The process is the same as for document sheets.
