# Create Table

Next, let’s create a table in the [Data Store](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/introduction/). This table is used to create the following columns to store the required details:

<table class="content-table">
	<thead>
		<tr>
			<th class="w25p">Column Name</th>
			<th class="w25p">Data Type</th>
            <th class="w50p">Purpose</th>
		</tr>
	</thead>
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>`Name`</td>
			<td>`Var Char`</td>
            <td>To store the name of the people you are going to send wishes to.</td>
		</tr>
        <tr>
			<td>`Message`</td>
			<td>`Text`</td>
            <td>To store the custom message.</td>
		</tr>
        <tr>
			<td>`BirthDay`</td>
			<td>`Date`</td>
            <td>To store the date of the birthday.</td>
		</tr>
        <tr>
			<td>`Email`</td>
			<td>`Var Char`</td>
            <td>To store the recipient's email address.</td>
		</tr>
        <tr>
			<td>`AutoSend`</td>
			<td>`Boolean`</td>
            <td>To choose to send the email automatically to the required person at the scheduled time. The default value will be **True**.</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

To create a table:

1. Navigate to the Catalyst *Cloud Scale* service section in the console and click **Start Exploring**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_cloudscale_start_explore](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_cloudscale_start_explore.webp)

2. Navigate to the *Data Store* component under the *STORAGE* section and click **Create a new Table**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_table_create](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_table_create.webp)

3. Enter the table’s name as "`BirthDayReminder`" and click **Create**.

> **Note:** Ensure that you enter the name exactly as instructed because the application's code contains the same name.

The table will be created.

Now, let’s create the required columns.

> **Info:** You can learn about the various data types supported by Catalyst and the other properties of a column from the [Data Store help documentation](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/introduction/).

4. Click **New Column** in the *Schema View* section.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_clm_new_clm](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_clm_new_clm.webp)

5. Enter the column’s name as "`Name`". Select the data type as **Var Char**, and enter "`100`" as the **Max Length**.

6. Click **Create**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_clm_first_created](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_clm_first_created.webp)

7. Click the **New Column** button again to create the second column. Name it "`Message`", select **Text** as its data type, and click **Create**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_clm_2_created](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_clm_2_created.webp)

8. Click the **New Column** button again to create the third column. Name it "`BirthDay`", select **Date** as its data type, and click **Create**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_clm_3_created](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_clm_3_created.webp)

9. Click the **New Column** button again to create the fourth column. Name it "`Email`", select **Var Char** as its data type, enter "`120`" as the **Max Length**, and click **Create**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_clm_4_created](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_clm_4_created.webp)

10. Lastly, click the **New Column** button again to create the fifth column. Name it "`AutoSend`", select **Boolean** as its data type, select **True** as the **Default Value**, and click **Create**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_clm_5_created](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_clm_5_created.webp)

All of the required columns have been created.

### Configure Scopes and Permissions

To allow any user of the Birthday Greetings application to create and manage birthday messages from the client application, you must enable CRUD operations for the *App User* profile and set its [role](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/user-management/roles/introduction/) as *User*.

To enable the required permissions:

1. Click the **Scopes & Permissions** tab.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_scopes_page](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_scopes_page.webp)

2. Select the **User** profile for the *App User* role.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_scopes_roles_user](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_scopes_roles_user.webp)

3. Select the **Update**, **Insert**, and **Delete** permissions for the *App User* by clicking the respective check boxes. Ensure that you do not change any other permission setting.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_scopes_roles_user_permissions_done](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_datastore_scopes_roles_user_permissions_done.webp)

The *Data Store* component is now configured for the application.
