</div>

Can you explain about the flow, or what type of columns are you using to get the AI extracted text?

Is it related to the Text to Texts column?

The extraction works fine.

however these fields are not visible - referencable when I try to display the content.

Simply add a custom collection to your screen and set the AI table as its source.

Alternatively, you can change the screen’s source to the AI table, but be careful, this might affect your current layout. It’s a good idea to duplicate the tab first just in case.

</div>

So the problem is this is from another table, not the table tied to the screen you’re working with?

You can follow Eric’s suggestion above.

Are you able to scroll down to view and select additional columns?

Seems like you’re using a Big Table? I think that’s the reason why you can’t use computed columns there.

Thank you. Somehow I did get the impression that big tables would become default so did not realize that there would be this limitation.

Here’s some of the limitations
