The input element is added to the column where you configured it. The user can add a comment in the Comments column, and when they select a button (for instance, to update an account or contact), a Salesforce push will be created if you configured it.

You can allow the user to edit other columns in the power table:

  1. Click the Gear icon to open the Power Table Settings screen.

Note:

When a user changes information in the power table and there is a Salesforce Push, only the lines where the input field was changed will be created or updated in Salesforce.
