# Using Table Controls in Custom Field Groups
This lesson will show you how to use table controls to change the layout of custom fields.
### Enable table control
When creating a new group of custom fields, you will see an option called “Table Control”. This allows you to change the orientation of your custom fields from columns to rows, allowing you to create your own tables.
It also allows you to access some additional specialized custom field types.
To enable table control, tick the checkbox next to the option. Be aware that this will delete any data held in your custom fields.
Your custom fields will now be added as columns in the table. There is a limit of 30 columns in each table control group.
### Additional custom fields
Enabling table controls allows you to use some additional custom field types tailored for use in tables. The new custom fields are [RowID](/administrator-documentation/types-of-custom-field/row-id.md), [Date](/administrator-documentation/types-of-custom-field/date.md), and [Label Control](/administrator-documentation/types-of-custom-field/label-control.md).
You can read more about each by clicking the field name.
### The new custom field layout
As you can see, your custom fields are now laid out in a row, with entries listed under them creating a table.
Using the new field types, “Review number” and “Review Date” fields will update automatically with each new entry. As the only other field being used is a username field, new entries will not require any data to be entered.
### Following up on entries
You may wish to follow up on an entry in a custom field table. For example, a review may expose actions that need to be taken.
To do this, check the “Follow Up?” box. This allows you to instantly create a task that will be added to the case. Fill in the fields presented, then click “Save Changes” to create the task.
### Task created
After saving your follow-up, it will be listed under the “Tasks” tab on the case page.

## 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://docs.agilecase.com/administrator-documentation/case-type-settings/using-table-controls-in-custom-field-groups.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
