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.

Hi Jakub,

The ability to modify tables may be restricted in the demo instances to prevent someone from making too many changes, but I am not entirely sure. You can also try to go to System Applications > Create Application to create a new table and application. To modify an existing table, you can do it through the Form Designer. Go to the form for the table you want to add a field to, click the form header menu (the trigraph in the upper left of the form) and select Personalize > Form Design. You can drag existing fields onto the form from the left side or create new fields by dragging a data type onto the form.

The interface received a major overhaul in the Eureka version, which is what you see in the demo system. Berlin is a couple versions back. The Tables module was added in Calgary as a replacement for the Tables & Columns module.
