Data tables are repositories for any kind of information. Data from tables can be displayed in an email or used for customer segmentation.

Data tables are located in the Tables section of the enKod menu.

To create a new table, you should specify a name, add the necessary columns and their data type. For the name of the table itself or its columns only Latin characters in lower case without spaces are allowed, also digits and the symbol '-', '_' (cannot start with a digit, '-', '_').

primary key - is used for uniqueness of data in the table. When adding new rows manually or via import, the data will be checked for uniqueness by this column. You can set several primary keys, then the reconciliation will be performed by their combination, which must be unique.

Column mandatory - mark for the column that when adding new rows manually or via import, this field must be filled in, otherwise the row will not be added.

Default value - when creating a table, you can fill any column with a single value if this field is blank when adding a new row. When editing an existing data table, you can set a default value only for columns in which no cells are already filled.

To edit columns in a table, as well as copy or delete it, click on the corresponding icon when hovering over the desired table. Similar operations can be performed from the table details by pressing the “Actions” button.

To add a row to a table manually, go to its details by clicking on its name in the table list.

Next, click on “Add a new row”. Fill in the fields with the required values and click on “Create”.

In the table search bar you can search for the required data by any field of the table.

To import a file into a data table, you need to open the table view and click the “Import to table” button

After loading the file, it is necessary to match the table columns with the columns from the file, if it was not done automatically, here you can also select the columns that do not need to be imported

After the import is started, the reconciliation of the file will start. To continue the import after the reconciliation is completed, go to the enKod » Imports section of the system, find the required import in the list and press the “Start import” button.

In the import settings window you should choose what to do with new, duplicate or incorrect lines, if any.

After pressing the “Start import” button, wait for the import process to complete. Import details can be viewed in the list of imports by pressing the “Open history” button
