You can explore the REST API for a table directly from that table. Explore the API
using the REST API Explorer to quickly construct and test REST requests for that
table.

## Before you begin

Role required: itil, personalize_dictionary, and rest_api_explorer

## Procedure

1. Navigate to any form or list.
2. In a form, right-click the form header and select ConfigureTable.
3. Open the list title menu, select Configure, and click Table.
4. Click the Explore REST API related link.  
   The REST API Explorer opens, displaying the Table API for the selected table. If the table does not allow web service interaction, a warning appears instead.
