> When Plexii finishes browsing, put what it found on a desk you choose: every result in a table, values exactly as on the page, with a written summary.

A browsing run is only useful if you can keep what it found. When Plexii finishes working on a web page, the results show under the run, and one click puts them on a desk: a list of things becomes a real table, with every row Plexii found and every value exactly as it appeared on the page, and any written conclusion goes in a note beside it.

## Before you start

- **Pro and Team plans** include putting browsing results on a desk.
- **You need at least one desk** to put the results on. See [Create a desk](https://plexiidesk.com/help/desk-create).
- **Run Plexii on a page first.** See [Let Plexii work on a web page](https://plexiidesk.com/help/plexii-browse).

## What Plexii finds

A run can produce two kinds of result, or both:

- **Records**: a list of things, each with the same details. For example suppliers with a name, location and website, or products with a name and price. Plexii chooses the details from what the pages actually show.
- **An answer**: a written response, for a task that was a question, such as "what is their refund policy?", or a summary of what a list shows.

When the run ends, the panel shows **Found 12 results** (the number is how many records it found) with the first five listed and a count of the rest, or **Found an answer** with the start of the answer.

## Put the results on a desk

1. Under the finished run, click **Put on a desk…**.
2. A list headed **Put these results on…** shows your desks, with the one you were last on at the top.
3. Click a desk.

The line changes to **Working out where this belongs…**, then says what was placed, for example **Put 12 results into a table of 4 columns, with a summary beside it — on Supplier shortlist.** Click **Open** and the desk's name to go there.

A notice, **Results placed on** and the desk's name, also appears with an **Open** button, so you can find the results even after you dismiss the run.

## What lands on the desk

- **A Table widget** for the records, named after your task. For "find wholesale plant suppliers in Victoria", the table is called "Wholesale plant suppliers in Victoria".
  - Every record becomes a row. Nothing is cut short to fit.
  - Each detail becomes a column, with a readable heading.
  - Values go in exactly as they appeared on the page. Nothing is rounded, tidied or re-typed.
  - Column types follow the values: numbers become a number column, dates a date column, and long text a tall text column. Links stay as text you can click.
- **A Markdown note** for the answer. When there is also a table, the note is named after the table followed by **— what this shows**.

From there they are ordinary widgets: sort and filter the table, add your own columns, or wire it into a desk agent. See [Table widget](https://plexiidesk.com/help/widget-table).

## If something does not land

If only some rows could be added, the line says how many were placed, such as **10 of 13 placed**, and why the first one failed. If the run found nothing usable, it says **The run did not find anything to place.**

## Tips

- **Ask for the details you want in the task.** "Find florists in Brisbane with name, suburb, phone and website" gives you exactly those columns.
- **Use Extract data on a listing page.** It scrolls to the bottom so you get every row, not just the first screen.
- **Make a desk for the research first.** Then choose it from the list, so your results do not land on a desk you were using for something else.

## Common questions

**The list says No desks yet — make one first.** You need a desk to put results on. Create one, then click **Put on a desk…** again. See [Create a desk](https://plexiidesk.com/help/desk-create).

**Can I put the results in a document instead?** Results go on a desk as a table and a note. From there you can copy them into a document or spreadsheet.

**Why are some cells empty?** Plexii leaves a detail out when the page did not show it, rather than guessing.

**I dismissed the run before saving the results.** A dismissed run's results are gone from the panel. Run the task again.
