In the platform

To create a database, Admin and Advanced users can go to the 'Profile tables structure' app (Apps > Data > Profile tables structure)

Adding a table

You can see the list of all existing databases within your licence.
Click on the '+Add' button to create a new database.

Alternatively, profile tables can also be created from the "Table structure" app, that also allows you to create Custom tables.

Step 1: Parameters

A database consists of 3 parameters:

• Its name, which cannot include any symbol or space.
• Its description, for information purposes.
• The entity in which the database will be saved. It defines the users' rights.

Once all the parameters are encoded, click on the 'Next' button.

Step 2: Attributes

A database is made of attributes. To add an attribute, click on the '+' symbol then choose your preferred option.

Depending on your needs, you have the choice between:

1. Directly adding one or more predefined attributes
2. Creating an attribute according to your own definition

We advise you to always prefer a predefined attribute to the creation of another attribute. We invite you go to 'Using predefined attributes' to learn more about them.

Step 2a: Adding predefined attributes

The list of all the predefined attributes that you do not have selected yet will be displayed. Select the ones you want to include in the structure of your database.

As soon as you click on the 'Add' button, you will go back to the list of attributes selected for the creation of your database.

You will find 3 icons in the 'Properties' column:

• Optional
• Multi-valued
• Unique

If the icon is light grey colored, the attribute does not have this property. On the other hand, a black icon means that the property is applied to the attribute.

Please make sure to correctly define the properties of your attributes before finalizing your database.

Step 2b: Creating a new attribute

You can create the specific attribute that you want.
Please make sure to check beforehand if the desired attribute does not exist among the Actito predefined attributes that you have not selected yet.

You will need to complete two steps. To learn more about them, we invite you to read the 'Adding an attribute to the profile table' chapter.

• Step 1: Parameters
• Step 2: Value type

If you wish to delete an attribute before validating the database, click the '-' icon at the right end of the line of the attribute. You will then have to confirm the deletion.

After adding all the necessary attributes, click on the 'next' button.

Step 3: Confirm

This last step allows you to confirm the creation of your database. Your database will be launched as soon as you click the 'Finish' button.

You will receive confirmation as soon as your database is created.

Click on the 'Back' button to return to the management page of the structure of your databases.
