Control Column Execution When Importing Data in Your Workflow

is there a way to stop columns from running? When I import a list it immediately runs all the columns, while I want first to run the 10 rows to see which results I get, then run all of them

Yes, when importing a CSV, you can control when columns run: 1. During import, select "Save and don't run" instead of "Save and run rows in this CSV." 2. To test with just 10 rows first: • Click "Save" > "Run First 10 Columns" during action setup • Or right-click a column, hover over "Run Column" and choose the number of rows to run This approach lets you test and refine your setup before committing to a full run, saving credits and preventing errors. You can also turn off auto-update while building your table to prevent automatic enrichment of new entries.

Hey Ticiana, thanks for reaching out! If you’d like to stop or pause an entire Clay table, you can do so in a few various ways: ** Table Level: Click the logo in the bottom-right corner of the screen and selecting 'Turn off Table'. This will prevent any rows from running automatically until the table is turned back on. (as shown in image one) ** Column Level: Alternatively, to pause updates at the column level, click the column header, go to the column settings, scroll to the bottom of the menu, and toggle off 'Auto-Update' in 'run settings' (as shown in image two) ** *Pausing Cells Mid-Run: If a column is already running you can click the 'Stop Updates' button to stop these enrichments from continuing as quickly as possible. (as shown in image three) Hope this helps! Let me know how else I can assist. :)
