How to Create a Managed Table

A proper design of your managed tables can help you to ensure stability and reliability of your processes that work with your managed tables.

 How to add columns to the managed table

There are rules around column names in managed tables. Each column name should:

• Be at least three characters in length.
• Not contain any spaces.
• Not start with a number.
• Contain only letters, numbers or underscores.

Columns in managed tables support 5 data types: Number, Currency, Datetime, Fixed Length Text and True/False.

• Fields with data types of Number, Currency, Datetime and True/False will validate and only accept data that has a matching type (e.g. you can't store a text value in a number column).
• If you are unsure of the data type that is needed, select Fixed Length Text - as this data type can store data in a text format.

1. Open the managed table.

2. Click Add columns.

3. Specify column names and types of data they are supposed to store.

4. Click Add.

• The structure of you managed table will be updated with new columns.

5. Click Save to apply your changes.
