Last updated 2 days ago

  • On the landing page, click Create Table.

  • Fill in:

    • Enter Company ID - your BI Book company ID (pre-filled if already set).

    • Enter Table Name - the name for your new table. The visual automatically adds a custom_table_ prefix in the database; you never need to type it.

Table naming: snake_case. All table names use lowercase letters, with underscores instead of spaces. For example:

❌ Account Map

❌ AccountMap

✅ account_map

  • Select Template (optional) - pick a template to start with its columns. Leave empty to start with no columns.

You won’t see any templates in the dropdown if none have been added for your company.

  • Click Create Table.

💡If a table with that name already exists, you will see the message "Table already exists" and a popup asking "The table already exists. Do you want to open it?" Click Get Table to open it or Cancel to go back.
