Data columns

Overview

Data columns help you manage the data attributes for each customer profile.

These serve to connect the data from fields to your customers, allowing us to reliably perform advanced actions such as filtering, formatting and importing data.

The data columns are created automatically when adding fields in the app’s form builder, and it is the tool that allows you to store customer data after the form is submitted.

Column types

1. Standard data columns are used for all of the standard customer fields in Shopify, such as a customer’s first name, last name, email address, phone number, and default address.
2. Custom data columns are used for any custom customer fields you want to add such as a customer’s gender, birthday, message,…

The table includes 3 attributes as below:

1. Label
