Create a Table

A table in TexAu is where your business data lives and where enrichment happens. Whether you are building a prospect list, managing customer accounts, or organizing vendor information, tables are your foundation.

What Is a Table?

A table is your workspace for storing and enriching structured data. Each row is a record (like a person, company, or lead), and each column holds specific information about that record. Columns can store data, automatically fetch information from external sources, transform existing data, or calculate values based on formulas.

All your tables live inside Workbooks. A workbook acts like a folder or spreadsheet file, and you can create multiple tables within a single workbook to keep related data organized.

Start a New Table

To create a table, you first need to be inside a Workbook.

  1. Log in to TexAu and click on Workbooks in the left sidebar.

  2. Click to create a new workbook. Once created, a default blank table is automatically generated for you inside it.

  3. To create an additional table within that same workbook, simply click the "+ Add table" button at the bottom of the screen.

Name Your Table

A good table name helps you (and your team) know exactly what is inside at a glance.

  • Include relevant context (Q1, 2024, department name)

  • Use clear, specific words (avoid acronyms unless your team knows them)

  • Keep it under 50 characters for easy readability

  • Add a date if the data has a time-sensitive nature

Tip: Use descriptive names like "2024 Enterprise Leads" instead of "Data 1" or "Table A."

Configure Table Settings

Once your table is created, you can customize its behavior.

Visibility and Access

  • Team access: Invite teammates to collaborate on the same table

  • Workspace tables: Visible to everyone in your workspace

Data and Performance

  • Enable auto-save: Changes save automatically as you work (default: on)

  • Live updates: See enrichment results stream in real time (default: on)

Organization

  • Sort preferences: Set your preferred default sort order

  • Column visibility: Choose which columns show by default when opening the table

  • Favorite: Star your most-used tables for quick access

What Is Inside a Table?

Columns (The Structure)

Each column holds one type of information and has a specific data type, like email addresses, phone numbers, or company names. TexAu recognizes 30+ semantic data types out of the box. When you create an Action column, TexAu knows what kind of data to fetch and how to format it.

Rows (The Data)

Each row is one record. If you are enriching a prospect list, each row is one person or company. Add rows manually, import from a CSV file, or populate via API.

Cells (The Values)

Each cell is where a row and column meet. A cell might contain an email address, a phone number, a job title, or whatever that column is designed for.

Table Types

Blank Tables

Start from zero. You define every column, every data type, every enrichment source.

Best for:

  • Custom workflows

  • Unique business processes

  • Users who know exactly what they need

Template Tables

Pre-built structures for common use cases.

Best for:

  • Quick setup (ready to import data in minutes)

  • First-time users

  • Standard workflows (prospect lists, customer data, etc.)

Both blank and template tables have the same capabilities. The difference is your starting point.

Next Steps

Once your table is created, you are ready to:

  • Add columns to structure your data exactly how you want it

  • Import data from a CSV file to populate your table quickly

  • Add rows manually for smaller datasets or one-off entries

  • Set up enrichments to automatically fetch missing information
