Tips for Better AI Suggestions
Name your table clearly For example, use "Job Applications" instead of "Table 1" to help NocoAI make better field recommendations.
Think in terms of attributes Consider what information each record should store. Example : A “Candidate” table may need Full Name, Email, Phone, Resume, Status, and Applied Date.
Leverage existing fields NocoAI takes into account your current setup to avoid duplicates and suggest only what's missing.
Use it iteratively You can always run field suggestions multiple times as your table evolves.
