Create a record in a NocoDB table from the grid view, a form, or the right-click menu.

To add a record, click the `New Record` button in the bottom left corner of the grid view. By default, this button adds an empty record at the end of the grid view. To fill a field, click the cell and enter the value.

You can also use a form to fill the fields of a record. To add a record with a form:

1. Click the up-arrow in the `New Record` button. The options for a new record open.
2. Select `New Record - Form`. The `New Record` button now adds new records with a form.

### Insert Anywhere

You can insert a record anywhere in the grid view from the right-click context menu.

1. Right-click a record.
2. Select `Insert above` or `Insert below`. An empty record is added above or below the selected record.

## Good to know

* To add an empty record, you can also click the `+` icon in the last record of the grid view.
* On the last record, press `Enter` to add an empty record to the grid view.
* To set the `New Record` button back to its default, click the up-arrow in the `New Record` button and select `New Record - Grid`.
