### Examples

#### 1. Insert a Row Without Specifying Row Number

To insert a new row into the table without providing a row number or a reference to a row, we specify data for all the columns in the table.

```
insert a row in the table where 
    the Name is "Beet"
    the Color is "Red"
    the Type is "Root"
```

#### 2. Insert a Row When Specifying a Row Number

For this example, `the row` refers to the following row:

| Name | Color | Type |
| ---- | ----- | ---- |
| Beet | Red   | Root |

```
insert the row in the table where
    the row number is 2
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kognitos.com/legacy/legacy-experience/automation-areas/tables-v2/get-rows/insert-a-row.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
