Modify the table properties and manage the table fields by using the default Fields
view on the Data tab in Table Builder.

## Antes de Iniciar

* Launch Table Builder. For more information, see [Accessing Table Builder](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/tA8W0UFqEbay_uw10_ZOqg "You can access Table Builder in several ways.").
* (Optional) Choose a domain to work within (if not global). For more information, see [Domain separation and Table Builder](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/psqtP2q2kxAO5cfIoxXa9w "Domain separation enables you to separate data, processes, and administrative tasks into logical groupings called domains. You can control several aspects of this separation, including which users can see and access data.").
* (Optional) Choose an application scope to work within (if not global). For more information, see [Using an application scope with Table Builder](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/AtLcUqwMmjreIuXSqhxEXA "Selecting an application from the application scope list in Table Builder enables you to customize form views for the users of the selected application in the ServiceNow AI Platform.").

Role required: personalize_dictionary or AES user
role and delegated developer permissions. For more information, see [Delegate developers using AES](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/g_PvUcxPUFAjOctgy1S9iw "Delegated development enables designated users without a system admin role to develop or deploy applications on the ServiceNow AI Platform. This enables administrators and delegated developers to work together to deliver custom applications through App Engine Studio (AES).").

### Procedimento

1. Navigate to the Data tab.  
   Nota:  
   Fields view displays by default. You can also access the Fields view from the Additional actions menu (![Additional actions menu.]()).
2. Select + Add new field.
3. On the resulting blank row, fill in the desired properties for the new data table column.  
   Figura 1. Adding a new field to a table
   {#add-table-column-fb__chdesc_fieldtype}

   | Field | Description |
   | Column label | Unique label for the column. |
   | Column name | Database name for the column. |
   | Type | Type of information that the column contains. For example, to contain plain text in the column, select String. Depending on the type that you select, fill in the additional fields to further define the table column. For example, if you select String, define the character limit of the string input. Or, if you select Choice, define the choices that users can choose from. See [Field types](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_FieldTypes&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US). |
   | Reference | Table that is associated with the column. This field applies only if the column type is Reference. |
   | Max length | Maximum number of characters that users can enter in the field. |
   | Default value | Value that populates the field automatically after a new record is created. |
   | Display | Option to set the column as the display value for the table. A reference field shows the display value of the table to which it is referring. For example, the Opened by column of the task table refers to the user table. Because the display value of the user table is the user name, the Opened by field shows something like Beth Anglin or Joe Employee. When you select a display value, choose the table column that would act as an appropriate title for individual records. Only one column can act as the display value for a table. |
   | Updated | Information about when the table was last updated. |
   |-|-|

Role required: personalize_dictionary or AES user
role and delegated developer permissions. For more information, see [Delegate developers using AES](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/g_PvUcxPUFAjOctgy1S9iw "Delegated development enables designated users without a system admin role to develop or deploy applications on the ServiceNow AI Platform. This enables administrators and delegated developers to work together to deliver custom applications through App Engine Studio (AES).").

### Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

A column label is the text that's visible to your users when they're
reading or updating application data. For example, if you create a form for
requesters to fill in, each column label appears as a form field label.

Use a column label that describes the specific information that you expect users to
enter. For example, to prompt a user to add comments, you would use the column label
"Comments" instead of "Text".

### Procedimento

1. Navigate to the Data tab.  
   Nota:  
   Fields view displays by default. You can also access the Fields view from the Additional actions menu (![Additional actions menu.]()).
2. Change a column label in the Column label column, by updating the text in the corresponding row.  
   For example, to change the label of the "Office location" column, you would
   select the cell that says "Office location" and enter a different label.

   The column label updates automatically after you select another cell.
3. Select Save.

## Changing a table column name in Table Builder {#ariaid-title5}

Change the database name for the column. You may opt to change the column name
manually if a reviewer finds that the column name in the database was causing issues in
testing.

This enables administrators and delegated developers to work together to deliver custom applications through App Engine Studio (AES).").

### Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

Nota:  
You can't change the column name for existing fields that have information in them saved already.

A column name is the text that an administrator uses to track column
data in the database. A column name is created automatically after you enter a
column label. In Table Builder, if you change the column label, the
column name also changes automatically.

### Procedimento

1. Navigate to the Data tab.  
   Nota:  
   Fields view displays by default. You can also access the Fields view from the Additional actions menu (![Additional actions menu.]()).
2. Change the column name in the Column name column by updating the text in the corresponding row.  
   For example, to change the name of the "Office location" column, you would
   select the cell that says u_office_location and enter a different name.

   The column name updates automatically after you select another cell.
3. Select Save.

## Change a column type in Table Builder {#ariaid-title6}

Change the type of field that will store information for rows in a table column. For
example, if your table is tracking dates, you would want to select the Date column
type.

   Nota:  
   Fields view displays by default. You can also access the Fields view from the Additional actions menu (![Additional actions menu.]()).
2. Select a cell and clear the text from the Type column.
3. From the list, select a column type.  
   You can search the list by entering new text. For example, to find all the
   string types, you would enter <kbd class="ph userinput">string</kbd>.
4. If required, define the column type with more information.  
   For example, if you select Choice, define the list of
   choices that users can select from.

   The column type updates automatically after you select another cell.
