Columns and a status

In the portal, under Environments, click Development, and there Open. Flow opens in a new tab.

Click ＋ next to General, choose New table and give it a name under Settings. You save in one go later, together with the columns.

Under Columns there is already one text column; give it a name. ＋ Column adds one, and you choose its kind: Number for an amount, Date for a date. That way nobody can put text in an amount by mistake, and you can calculate and sort later.

A Choice column may only hold the fixed values you give, separated by commas. On the data screen this becomes a drop-down list: no typing errors, and you can filter on it well later.

A Status column also has fixed values, but on top of that a course: where a new row starts and which step may follow which. Click, per value, where it may go next. A final status means: nothing after it.

Only after Save structure do the columns apply; until then you can still undo everything.

Under Data every column now has the right input: a number, a date picker, a drop-down list. You do not fill in the status: a new row starts at the first step by itself.

In the row, choose the next status and click Save. The list only offers the steps allowed from here: from new you cannot jump straight to done.
