Requesting fields and views by AI means describing, in a simple text list, which fields you need to add to a table that already has data, or asking for a view like Kanban, without manually configuring each element. In Jestor, the AI automatically identifies which field should organize the phases of a requested Kanban.

## The problem with configuring field by field manually

Manually adding several new fields to a table, one at a time, is slow work — even more so when you also need to build a view from scratch, choosing the stage field and organizing the columns.

- **Several fields at once:** list them in free text, no need to create one by one.
- **Views generated automatically:** ask for a Kanban and the AI builds the columns.
- **Free text accepted:** even with typos, the AI understands the request.
- **Table context:** you need to keep the right table selected in the conversation.

## How to request new fields and views from the AI in Jestor

- **Select the right table:** in the context of the conversation with the agent.
- **List the fields you need:** for example, address, name, and country, in a single message.
- **Ask for a view to be created:** like "create a Kanban for this table."
- **Answer which field organizes the phases:** when the AI asks (stage, priority).
- **Review the built view:** columns and fields already appear ready.

**How to configure it in Jestor:** before asking, confirm that the right table is selected in the conversation context — that's the main thing to watch for the AI to apply the change in the right place.

## Why choose Jestor to expand existing tables with AI?

Unlike creating a structure from scratch, requesting fields and views on a table that already has data requires the AI to understand the existing context without breaking anything — Jestor applies the changes incrementally, preserving the data already recorded.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I request several fields at once?** Yes, you can list several fields in a single message for the AI to create all at once.

**Does the AI automatically know which table to create the fields in?** You need to keep the right table selected in the conversation context.

**Does this feature only work on new tables?** No, it also works on tables that already have data and an existing structure.
