Data tables

Use data tables to create, and manage structured collections of similar data such as lists of issues, tasks, milestones, and contacts. Information in a data table is organized as a series of entries (or records, or rows) that have a common format, or schema. Each table has just one schema, which describes the attributes of each field, including its name, and data type.

Data tables also provide an improved summary for data table fields like the traffic light. The data table entry view provides a visual and user friendly view of table entries. The entry view also supports attachments for a given entry as well as the ability to discuss the viewed entry.

While you can subscribe to data tables, they do not have versions or renditions. You can edit, move, copy, or link data tables, but you cannot check them in or out.

You can copy, move, and paste data tables. When you copy a data table with entries, the new entries have a fresh series of autonumbers, and an empty history.

Data table entries can be copied, and pasted between tables, and within the same table.

When a data table becomes governed or ungoverned, all its entries are governed or ungoverned as well. When you copy or move entries between tables with different governing, the governing is automatically changed on the copied or moved entries.
