How to create a table or modify table columns

[795619]

Hi, I am new to ServiceNow and I'm just playing with it to see how it works. I have three questions:

1. Using this demo ServiceNow how do I create a new table or set up its columns? I read the documentation Creating a Custom Table - ServiceNow Wiki and it says I need to navigate to the System Definition section, but I don't see anything like that in the navigation list on the left hand side. Below is a screenshot of what I see:

2. I have a local version of ServiceNow Berlin, and the user interface is quite different from what I'm seeing on the Demo006 server. I can see the System Definition and then there is no Table link (like the documentation says). There's a Tables & Columns link instead. When I click on that, I get the page below. How do I set up my columns, modify them and everything?

Thank you for any help.

Jakub,

They changed the way that you create tables sometime around the Berlin timeframe.   Before they had the Table module, you would do it from the Tables & Columns page toward the bottom.   If you go to that link again and scroll to the bottom of the page, do you see the ability to create a new table there?

Thanks Jacob, but that's just a form to create a table without any column adjustments (adding new columns, column types etc.). Where do I find that please? Here's what I see:

Once you create the table in this view, then you can add the columns you want. If you choose to extend an existing table, you start with the columns available from that extended table.

Jakub,

That was the only way to create a table in Berlin.   To add columns, simply go to your new table's form (or list) and right click on the form (list header).   Choose personalize form (or personalize list) and add the new columns from there.   It's not really intuitive and the current way is much nicer.

Hopefully this makes sense.   If not, I can add a few screenshots.
