Can new tabs be added to a robot's Table?

Browse AI automatically creates tabs for each extracted list in your robot's Table, however, currently there's no way to manually add custom tabs.

No, it's not currently possible to manually add new tabs to your robot's Table. Tabs are automatically generated based on your robot's extraction settings and cannot be customized after the robot has been trained.

How Table tabs work

Your robot's Table always contains at least one tab, plus additional tabs based on what your robot extracts:

  1. Main tab: This is always present and shows one row per robot run, including the origin URL, extraction date, status, and summary information.

  2. List tabs: For each list your robot is trained to extract (like products, properties, search results), Browse AI automatically creates a dedicated tab. For example, if your robot extracts both "Products" and "Related Items" from a page, you'll see three tabs: Main, Products, and Related Items.

Why can't I add custom tabs?

Tables are designed to directly reflect the data structure of your robot's extraction. Since the robot determines what data is collected and how it's organized, tabs are generated automatically to match this structure.

Alternative approaches

If you need to organize your data differently, consider these options:

  • Train your robot differently: If you need data separated into different tabs, consider modifying your robot to extract that information as separate lists.

  • Export and reorganize: Export your data as CSV or JSON to reorganize it in external tools like Excel or Google Sheets.

  • Use multiple robots: For completely different data sets, consider creating separate robots, each with its own Table structure.

Changing your Table structure

To change the tabs in your Table, you'll need to retrain your robot:

  1. Go to your robot and click on the Settings tab.

  2. Under Danger Zone, select Retrain my robot.

  3. Retrain your robot using Robot Studio.

  4. Modify the lists you're extracting.

  5. Save your changes and run the robot again.

The Table structure will update automatically to reflect your new extraction settings.
