Understanding Fields in V7 Go

Here is an overview of what Fields are in V7 Go and how they are calculated.

What are Fields?

In V7 Go, Fields are the building blocks of your workflow. You can think of them like cells in a spreadsheet:

  • Entities = Rows
  • Properties = Columns
  • Fields = Entities × Properties

For example: 100 rows (Entities) × 10 columns (Properties) = 1,000 fields.

How Field Usage is Counted

  • Cumulative tracking: Once a field is created, it counts toward your usage total. Deleting it later does not reduce your count.
  • Collections: Fields inside collections are counted the same way.
    • Example: A collection of 52 items × 4 properties = 208 fields.
  • New fields are generated when:
    • You upload a new file to an agent.
    • You manually add a new row.
  • Prompt updates: Editing or refining a prompt inside an existing property does not add to your field usage. As such, clicking “Recompute all fields” after editing an existing property does not add to the field count.

Tips to Reduce Field Usage

Here are a few strategies to help you optimize:

  1. Test on small subsets
    When experimenting with new prompts, try them on a small dataset before applying them to your production agents.
  2. Refresh existing prompts
    If you’re improving a prompt, update the existing one and refresh — rather than creating a brand new prompt, which would consume additional fields.
  3. Bundle related fields
    Instead of extracting each property separately, you can group related fields into a single JSON prompt with a clear schema.
    Example: Instead of separate calls for start_date, end_date, and rent_amount, combine them into one prompt.

Quick Example

Let’s say you upload a dataset with:

  • 200 rows (Entities)
  • 5 columns (Properties)

Your total fields = 200 × 5 = 1,000.
If you add a new column later, you’ll add 200 more fields.

By understanding how fields are counted, you can plan more efficiently and make the most of your usage.
