Understanding Rows

In Raycaster, rows represent individual entities in your sheet - a company, a person, or any other item you’re researching. Each row contains cells that hold data for the different columns in your sheet.

​
Adding Company Rows

To add companies to a Company Research sheet:

1

Open Your Sheet

Navigate to the Company Research page and open the sheet where you want to add companies

2

Click Add Row
