# Create a Table in the Data Store

Next, let's create a table in the Data Store in the **CatalystDialerApp**  project. As discussed earlier, this table is used to store to-do list items created by the user.

To create a table:

   1. Navigate to the **Catalyst CloudScale Data Store** component in the console. Click **Start Exploring**.

   2. Click **Create a new Table**.
  ![create-table](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/dialer-app/create-table.webp) 

   3. Enter the table's name as "**CallLog**", then click **Create**.
    ![table-name](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/dialer-app/table-name.webp) 

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

The table is now created and displayed in the Data Store page.

### Create Columns

Next, let's create a column to store the details of the call.

   1. Click **New Column** in the Schema View section of the table.
   ![new-column](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/dialer-app/new-column.webp) 

   2. Enter the column's name as "**callDuration**". Select the data type as **'int'** and click **Create**.

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

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

The column is now created and listed in the _Schema View_ section.

You must now create five other columns in the same way. The table must contain six columns in total with the following mandatory properties :

<table class="content-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Column Name</th>
<th>Data Type</th>
<th>Max Length</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>callStatus</td>
<td>varchar</td>
<td>255</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>calledCountry</td>
<td>varchar</td>
<td>255</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>timeOfCall</td>
<td>varchar</td>
<td>255</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>fromNumber</td>
<td>varchar</td>
<td>255</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>toNumber</td>
<td>text</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

You have now configured all the necessary components from the console. You will now be working on coding the application from your local system.
