Having tables and lists created
Ask for structured output that you can use immediately.
After this lesson
You provide a clear format so that the result is easy to read.
In view · Along the same yardstick
Structure before output
Use a small fictitious list or text as a source.
Specify column names, order and desired units.
Compare rows with the source and make unknown values visible.
Part 1 of 3 · Raw information
Your preference for less movement is on. Choose each part yourself.
Describe the columns
For example: task, owner, deadline, status.
Provide an example
A single example row helps the model understand the format.
Ask for consistency
Same order and style in all rows.
New practice example
From explanation to a usable result.
A table only helps if every column has a fixed meaning and unknown values remain visible.
Fictional practice situationFictitious notes: Amir calls the supplier on Thursday. Lina makes a draft; her deadline is missing. The delivery date itself is not yet confirmed.
View a possible solution
This is how it can be done
Create columns for task, owner, deadline, and status. Put “TBD” for Lina. Keep the unconfirmed delivery date as an open question, not as a deadline for the phone call.
Why this works
Different types of information must not disappear into the same date column. An empty source value is not automatically zero, today, or a rejection.
Make it slightly more difficult
Add a second phone call with an unknown owner. Check whether the table keeps all unknowns visible and does not use ambiguous columns.
Extra practice, at your own pace. You do not need to submit anything. This does not count towards an automatic assessment.

Organise meeting notes
Categorise the notes as decision, action or open question. Make missing owners and deadlines visible.
The notes below come from one fictional meeting. Choose what was actually decided, who is going to do something and what is still a question.
- Decisions
- 0
- Actions
- 0
- Open questions
- 0
Action list based on your layout
Choose “Action” for a note to fill the action list.
A missing deadline remains “To be determined”. A neat table is no reason to invent one yourself.
This trial works locally with fictitious data and does not count towards your lesson completion. It starts anew with a new lesson or reload.
A prompt to get you started
Create a table with columns: task, owner, deadline. Use only the information I provide. Put "to be determined" where something is missing. Data: [gegevens].
Apply it
You are creating a table with fictional customer questions. For one question, no person in charge is mentioned.
Which approach best fits this situation?
- Invent a person in charge to fill every cell.
- Automatically fill every empty cell with the same name.
- Use fixed columns and enter unknown for the missing person in charge.
With JavaScript, you can check your approach and receive immediate feedback.
Test your insight
What makes a AI table usable?
- As many rows as possible.
- Clear columns and only provided information.
- A beautiful layout.
Extra practice
Describe a situation in which a table is useful and write the prompt you would use.
An overview of outstanding customer queries with status and responsible party.
