With Table Builder, you can modify the table properties and manage the fields that are available for a selected data table.

Table Builder is a tool for editing data tables. You edit a table on the Data tab by editing the columns of the table.

User interface for Table Builder. — Figure 1. Table Builder

In Table Builder, each table column is represented as a row. For example, "Art title," "Image," and "Available" appear as column headers on the actual table. However, when you edit the columns in Table Builder, they appear as rows.

Example columns. — Figure 2. Example: Columns in Table Builder

Example table. — Figure 3. Example: Actual data table shown with two records

To easily find a specific table column to edit in the default Fields view, type the column name into the search box at the top right. As you type, the list of columns below is filtered to match the entered keyword.

Note: Use the Filter options list to show inactive fields or to hide extended fields from the list (if a table has been extended from an existing table).

Search for a table column. — Figure 4. Search for a table column

As you edit the table columns in Table Builder, think of each row as a field on a form. For example, if you change a column label, use a label that describes the data that you expect the user to enter in the form field. Change the column type to support this kind of form entry.

Add a new column to a table. See Add a table column in Table Builder.
Delete a table column. See Delete a table column in Table Builder.
