# Add Records

With the [PCRecruiter Gmail](https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/pcrecruiter/727065316099) Add-On installed, you can add new Names to the database as follows:

### Manually Add

First, let’s open an email from a person we would like to add. We are going to manually enter the information for this person.

1. Open an **email** from Gmail
2. Note that the sender’s First and Last Name have been pulled into the Manually Add Record Section (you can also click into these fields to modify) ![](https://learning.pcrecruiter.net/site/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/Gmail-1.png)
3. Click **Manually Add Record**
4. **Enter** record information manually
   1. Use the **Status**dropdown to select the record’s Status
   2. Begin typing the **Company Name** to Select the Company this person should be added to (this is searching the Company Records from your database, leaving this field blank will add the record to your Default Company) ![](https://learning.pcrecruiter.net/site/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/Gmail-2.png)
   3. Continue**entering**information
   4. Click**Add** when Finished ![](https://learning.pcrecruiter.net/site/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/Gmail-3.png)

You will now see the new Name Record you have created and can interact with (we will cover these features further on)

### Parse from Email Body/Signature

Now we will create a record from the Email body/Signature

1. Open an **Email** from Gmail
2. In the **Create Record From** section, choose**Email body/signature**
3. Click**Create ![](https://learning.pcrecruiter.net/site/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/Gmail-4.png)**
4. You will see the information has been parsed, modify any of it prior to clicking**Add**

### Parse Resume

Now we will create a record from a resume the sender has provided us.

1. Open an **email** in Gmail that contains a Resume attachment
2. In the **Create Record From** section, choose the**Resume document**you wish to parse
3. Click **Create**
4. Now you will see the parsed **details**
5. **Modify** any fields
6. Click **Add**

The record has now been added to PCR and the Resume can be found, as usual, in the resume section.

### Manually Add Without Email

If you would like to manually enter a record but you do not have a recent email from them, you may still do so without leaving the Gmail screen.

1. Click the**three dots** to access the PCR Add-On Menu
2. Click **Create Name Record ![](https://learning.pcrecruiter.net/site/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/Gmail-5.png)**
3. Enter the Record **details**
4. Click **Add** when finished
