# Create a grid field for a case

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**.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
