Table settings for Custom Data tables

You can access the settings for each custom data table. These settings allow you to edit and view important information.

Ownership

If the table is user owned (controlled by you), then the table label and default language can be edited.

If the table is externally owned (controlled by for example, Pulse) then nothing can be edited.

Note: If the table is externally owned, you will see this message:

Information that can not be edited, regardless of ownership:

• Records

• Fields

• The name of the dataset

• Who created the table

• When the table was created

• When the table was last changed

• Who the table was last changed by

• Whether the table can be used as a lookup table from Survey Designer

Settings that can be edited if the table is user owned:

• The default language (if other languages were added upon table creation).
