Custom tables enable you to expand the functionality of the ServiceNow AI Platform and create custom applications.

## About custom tables {#custom-tables__section_gcd_qtt_mhc}

Custom tables are tables that aren't part of the base ServiceNow AI Platform system, but are created by a ServiceNow AI Platform administrator and not otherwise exempt. Custom tables can be used to configure and extend base system workflows, and to add new functionality or custom applications to your ServiceNow AI Platform instance. For more information about building custom applications, see [Building applications](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=build-applications&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-application-development&ft:locale=en-US).

Entitlements for custom tables are included in certain subscription licenses based on the terms of the contract. If you don't have enough custom table entitlements, you can upgrade your license or purchase additional products that
include custom table entitlements.

## ServiceNow Store applications that consume custom tables {#custom-tables__section_jh3_y5t_mhc}

Some applications available from the ServiceNow Store at no additional cost require a number of unallocated custom table entitlements. If an application consumes custom table entitlements, the application listing details and contract show how many are
needed. For more information about application listing details, see [ServiceNow Store application listing details](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/StXrhc9TWh6E~tbt~3WS3Q "The listing details page for a ServiceNow Store application shows information about the app and its features, as well as technical information about the versions available.").
