# Create a Table

Let’s now create a table in the Data Store of the *ToDoList* 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 *Cloud Scale* section of the console, and click **Start Exploring**.

2. Navigate to **Data Store** under *Storage* and click **Create a New Table**.

3. Enter the table’s name as "**TodoItems**", then click **Create**.

> **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

Now, let us create a column in the table to store the to-do list items.

1. Click **New Column** in the *Schema View* section of the table.

2. Enter the column’s name as "**Notes**". Select the data type as **Text** and click the **Is Mandatory** toggle switch to enable it.

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/columns).

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

3. Click **Create**.

The column is now created and listed in the *Schema View* section.

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