Creating collections & tables

Collections store your team’s data in Play. You can create them from the UI or from chat, then define tables and fields to match the information you want to track.

From the UI

  1. Go to your Home page, click Assets, select Collections.

  2. Create a new collection, name it, and add your first table.

From chat

Describe what you need: Create a collection called Customer Data with tables for companies, contacts, and deals.

Defining a table schema

Each table needs a schema: columns and their types. For each field, specify name, type, required, and unique constraints.

Required and unique constraints can only be set during initial table creation. Fields added later cannot be marked as required or unique.

Adding and removing fields

You can add new columns at any time. Fields can be removed but this deletes the data in that column. Play will ask you to confirm.

Try it: Open a new chat and type Create a collection for tracking [something your team manages].
