# Create a grid field for a case

Create a Cortex AgentiX grid field to capture and edit tabular case data.

Grid fields enable you to view and edit tables in a custom case layout.

1. Select **Settings** → **Configurations** → **Object Setup** → **Cases** → **Fields** → **New Field**.
2. In the **New Case Field** window **Field Type** field drop down list, select **Grid (table)**.
3. Complete the following parameters:

   | Parameter         | Description                                                                               |
   | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | Field Name        | A meaningful name for the grid field.                                                     |
   | Tooltip           | (Optional) A brief descriptive message that explains what the field is and how to use it. |
   | User can add rows | (Optional) Enables users to add/remove rows in the grid.                                  |
4. In the **Grid** tab, add or remove the required rows and columns.

   How you design the grid determines how it appears to users. If the **user can add rows** field is selected, the user can add rows but not columns.
5. Configure each column by selecting the required field types, such as short text, Boolean, URL, etc. You can move the columns, rename, add values, etc.

   If you select the **Lock** check box, the value for that field is static (not editable). If you do not select the **Lock** check box (default), users can perform inline editing.
6. Click **Save**.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-agentix/configure-cortex-agentix/cases-and-issues-configuration/customize-case-fields-and-layouts/case-fields/create-custom-case-fields/create-a-grid-field-for-a-case.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
