Create New Data Table Step

Brief description

This step creates a new data table variable that can be used to store and manage tabular data within an automation process. The data table can contain multiple columns, and the number of columns is defined by the user. Each column can have a specific name and data type, allowing flexible data structure creation for various automation needs.

Step Information

Step name (Not required) – the custom name of the process step that labels the editor’s process step box

Input parameters

• Name (Required) – specifies the name of the new data table variable to be created.
• Number of columns (Required) – defines how many columns will be added to the new data table. When a number is entered, the same number of columns will be automatically generated below for configuration.
• Name (Required) – specifies the name of each column.
• Type (Required) – defines the data type of the column (e.g., String, Number, Boolean, etc.).

Output parameters

This step does not produce output parameters.

Additional comments

The created data table variable can be used in subsequent steps such as Add Row In Data Table Step, Update Value In Data Table Step, or Datatable Read Step. This step initializes an empty data table structure that can be populated and modified during the automation process.
You can define any number of columns depending on the required data structure. Each column name and type should be set carefully to match the intended use of the table. The data table created here acts as an in-memory table that can be used to store and process data dynamically throughout the workflow.
