Specify the Required Parameters when Inserting Data

For some tables in the Square data store, you must specify certain parameters in order to insert data successfully. For example, to successfully insert a timecard, you must provide the ID of the employee that the timecard corresponds to:

INSERT INTO Timecards (Employee_Id) VALUES ('EXP-12345678')

The following table lists the Square tables that require specific parameters when you insert data into them.

Table	Required Parameters
Categories	Name: The name of the category.
Discounts	Name: The name of the discount.
Fees	Both of the following parameters are required: Name: The name of the fee. Rate: The rate of the fee, as a string representation of a decimal number. For example, a value of 0.07 corresponds to a rate of 7%.
Pages	Page_Index: The position of the page in the list of pages. The value must be an integer between 0 and 4, inclusive. The endpoint returns an error if you specify a Page_Index that another page is already using.
Timecards	Employee_Id: The ID of the employee that you are creating a timecard for.
