# Create a Table

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>`UserName`</td>
			<td>`Var Char`</td>
            <td>To store the details of the user accessing the application.</td>
		</tr>
        <tr>
			<td>`BucketPath`</td>
			<td>`Var Char`</td>
            <td>To store the path of the required image (object).</td>
		</tr>
        <tr>
			<td>`UserZuid`</td>
			<td>`Var Char`</td>
            <td>To store the unique user ID of the end user signed up to your application.</td>
		</tr>
        <tr>
			<td>`IsUpdate`</td>
			<td>`Boolean`</td>
            <td>To store shared image access type as a Boolean: True for Edit, False for View.</td>
		</tr>
        <tr>
			<td>`SharedBy`</td>
			<td>`Var Char`</td>
            <td>To store details of the registered user that had shared the image.</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_photostore_cs_first_explore](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/photo-store/catalyst_tutorials_photostore_cs_first_explore.webp)

2. Navigate to the **Data Store** component present in the *Storage* section and click **Create a new Table**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_create](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/photo-store/catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_create.webp)

3. Enter "**ImageShareDetails**" as the name of the table and click **Create**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_photostore_name_create](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/photo-store/catalyst_tutorials_photostore_name_create.webp)

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

The table will be created.
![catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_done](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/photo-store/catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_done.webp)

Now, let’s create the four required columns.

> **Info:** [Learn more about the various supported data types and properties of a column](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/introduction/).

4. Click **New Column** in the *Schema View* section.

5. Enter the column's name as "`UserName`". Select **Var Char** as its datatype, enter **Max Length** as `100`, and click **Create**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_clm_1_create](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/photo-store/catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_clm_1_create.webp)

The column will be created.
![catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_clm_created](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/photo-store/catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_clm_created.webp)

6. Click the **New Column** button again to create the second column. Name the column as "`BucketPath`". Select **Var Char** as the data type and enter `255` as the **Max Length**. Click **Create**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_new_clm_2_create](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/photo-store/catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_new_clm_2_create.webp)

7. Click the **New Column** button again to create the third column. Name the column "`UserZuid`". Select **Var Char** as the data type and enter `50` as the **Max Length**. Click **Create**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_new_clm_3_create](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/photo-store/catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_new_clm_3_create.webp)

8. Click the **New Column** button again to create the fourth column. Name the column "`SharedBy`". Select **Var Char** as the data type and enter `100` as the **Max Length**. Click **Create**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_new_clm_4_create](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/photo-store/catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_new_clm_4_create.webp)

All the required columns have been created.

### Configure Scopes and Permissions

To allow your end users to provide the required data to populate the created columns, you need to enable the required permissions for the *App User* profile.

To enable the required permissions:

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

2. 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_photostore_datastore_table_user_role_all_permissions](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/photo-store/catalyst_tutorials_photostore_datastore_table_user_role_all_permissions.webp)

The Data Store component is now configured for the application.
