Choosing the Right Data Type

Best Practices

1. Start with Minimal Columns

Avoid: - Creating many columns you won't use - Defining all columns upfront Recommended: - Start with only the essential columns - Add more as the need arises

2. Choose Appropriate Data Types

Good examples: - Status -> select type - Due Date -> date type - Progress -> progress type Bad examples: - Managing everything as text - Entering dates as plain text

3. Use Consistent Naming

Good examples: - "Task Name" - "Assignee" - "Completed Date" Bad examples: - "Column 1" - "Misc"
