Create a data table

Prerequisites 
  • Architect > Datatable >All permissions
  • To add a data table: Architect > Datatable > Add
  • To delete a data table: Architect > Datatable > Delete
  • To add a data table row: Architect > Datatable Row > Add
  • To delete a data table row: Architect > Datatable Row > Delete

Create data tables with custom fields that make up the data table schema. For more information about editing and deleting data tables and rows, see Manage a data table.

Notes:
  • You cannot create duplicate table names. For example, when you want to create a new table or rename an existing table.
  • Table names cannot be longer than 256 characters.
  • The reference key label cannot include the following special characters: / or \.
  • When you add field label information, Genesys Cloud automatically populates the API Field ID, letting you know what field to use if you add data via the API.
  • After you save the data table, you cannot delete a custom field. Either create a duplicate table with the fields and rows that you want to keep, or just ignore the fields in the original data table.
  • After you create a data table, you cannot change the API value of the custom fields. You can only change the labels.
