In creating an app (brand new so excuse me), I see I can use Math and “now” for the current date but will that change each time I access that record? I really want a created at date ---

Technically it changes every 10 seconds. Computed column values are computed directly on the user’s device, and those types of columns do not a store values. So as a Created At value, it would not be accurate. What you need to do is store Now in a basic date column when the row is added. Don’t use a math column. ---
