Hi,

Yes.

To identify custom table

For a table in a scoped application, the name is prefixed with a namespace identifier to indicate that it is part of an application.
For a table in the global application, the name is prefixed with the string u_. For ex: If you create a table with label Test the name will be u_test.

Thanks,

Pooja M

I don't believe the answer you marked as correct, is correct. What if you created a custom table, in an existing scoped app for example? And there are more exemptions. So only looking at u_ and scoped tables is not correct.

Hi All,

When creating a new custom table, the table name is automatically populated based on the table label and a prefix.

If the table is created in a scoped application, the name is prefixed with a namespace identifier, indicating it is a part of the application.

If the table is created in the global application, the name is prefixed with "u_". If the table is being created in a scoped application, the name is prefixed with a namespace identifier: "x_", indicating that it is a part of an application.
