Create a data table

Prerequisites 
  • Architect > Data Table > All permission
  • To add a data table: Architect > Data Table > Add
  • To delete a data table: Architect > Data Table > Delete
  • To add a data table row: Architect > Data Table > Add Row
  • To delete a data table row: Architect > Data Table > Delete Row

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, by creating a new table or renaming an existing table.
  • Table names cannot be longer than 256 characters, and 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. You must either create a duplicate table with the fields and rows you want to keep, or simply ignore the field in the original data table.
  • After you create a data table, you cannot change the API value of custom fields. You can only change the labels.
