Creating a base from scratch

You can easily create a new empty Airtable base and add records and data as you go.

Start by clicking the "Add a base" button in the appropriate workspace. This will automatically create a new base, containing a single table with a few empty records (rows) and default fields (columns). On the right side of the screen a panel will pop up if you'd like to import data from another source, but you are also free to start from scratch and input data as you go!
