2. Check the auto-filled timestamp
Entry: Add a new record and review the generated value
- Add a new record in a table that already contains a Creation Time field.
- Finish entering the record content and return to that row.
- Check the Creation Time field and confirm that the system filled in the current time automatically.

yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm. - Try to edit the field and confirm that manual editing is not available.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: the new record shows a date-and-time value automatically in the Creation Time field.
- Next action: you can continue adding records and keep separate timestamps for each one.
Tips While Using
- The timestamp is generated when the record is created.
- The value cannot be edited manually after creation, which helps keep time information consistent.
3. Sort or filter by Creation Time
Entry: Open the table sorting or filtering settings

- Go to the sorting or filtering settings area.
- Select the Creation Time field as the sorting or filtering condition.
