- 5Test with a question whose answer you can verify directly in the table.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work without a known table?
The query action requires a table. The table should be identified and its structure made available before querying.
Will the summary include data beyond the matched rows?
It should summarize only returned rows and identify the source table.
