# Change an app's table

# Change a Creator Studio app's table {#ariaid-title1}

Change the table associated with an app if you want one that differs from the default.

## Before you begin

Note:  
You should perform this task only if you did not change the table during Guided Setup. For more information, see [Configure the table for Creator Studio apps](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/8p70mAuG3G2DD0I6af68gg#crs-setup-app-table "Use Guided Setup to change the table that the app saves its requests to.").

The app must already be created before you can change the table for it.  
Some general guidelines for changing the table are:

* If you change an app's table to one that doesn't extend a Request Task-extended table, it could affect automations.
* If the new table doesn't have the request_type field, the app's automations won't be correctly triggered.  
  Note:  
  You can change the Request type field, which specifies the form, on the Request Task table or a table that extends Request Task. To do so, you must be an admin or have the sn_creatorstudio.configuration_admin or sn_creatorstudio.task_admin role.
* The request_type field for the new table should have the label Request type, and it should be a reference to the Record Producer table.
* If the new table isn't in the same scope as the app, the scope of the table must allow updates from other scopes.

{#creator-studio-change-app-table__ul_e21_cnt_bfc}See [Changing the table for an app](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/GAuG5~aRU3pIE_Kk6rPZiA "Admins can change the associated table for an app built in Creator Studio. That is, you can change the table that the app saves its requests to.") for more information.

Role required: admin, app configurator (sn_creatorstudio.app_configurator), or Creator Studio configuration admin (sn_creatorstudio.configuration_admin). For more information on working with granular roles, see [Granular admin roles required to secure your instance](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=roles-within-platform-security&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).

## About this task

To ensure that forms and automations work, a general guideline is to change the table to a table that extends the Request Task table.

## Procedure

1. Open the All menu and enter <kbd class="ph userinput">sn_creatorstudio_request_app_config.list</kbd>.
2. Enter the app name in the search box for the Name column and press Enter.  
   Note:  
   You must enter the first word of the app name, not subsequent words in the app name.
3. Select the app from the list.  
   Figure 1. List of apps to configure
4. **Optional:** Change the scope to the app's scope or a global scope if you're not in the correct scope.  
   You can change the scope in one of the following ways:
   * Selecting the here in the message "To edit the record click here."
   * Selecting the application scope icon (![]()) and choosing the appropriate scope.

   {#creator-studio-change-app-table__ul_fgr_npz_r2c}For more information on scopes, see [Application scope](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/pmr9O3O8p2cj7u8TOZPnTw "Application scoping protects applications by identifying and restricting access to application files and data.").
5. Enter the name of the table you want the app to write to in the Request table field.  
   The table should extend the Request Task table and have the request_type field. For more details on what table you can use, see [Requirements for changing the table for an app](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/GAuG5~aRU3pIE_Kk6rPZiA#creator-studio-admin-app-table-about__crs-requirements-change-table).Figure 2.

6. Select Update to save your changes.
