User tables are custom entities that can be created and used in user fields.

---

## Create tables

To create a user table, follow these steps:

1. Go to **Settings | System | Custom Entities**;
2. In the list of custom entities, click on **Create**;
3. In the window displayed, fill in the fields:
  - **Table name**;
  - **Record title**;
  - **Key**;
  - **Attribute description**: used to map the table to other entities;
4. Click on **Save**.

Once the table is created, a selection window is displayed to choose the menu section where you want to add it. To add fields to the table, go to it in the menu and add the desired fields.

The user tables created can be used in user fields:

1. In the field category, select **Entity Search**;
2. In the **Entity** field, search for and select the table created.

## Remove tables

You can only remove user tables that **have not yet been used**. To remove a table, click the **trash can icon** in the upper-right corner of the table editing screen.

Once removed, they are no longer available for editing in the list.

If the table is already being used in an entity, **it cannot be removed**. In this case, it can be inactivated by deactivating the **Active field** option, located in the lower left-hand corner and active by default. The table no longer appears for selection in the entity view.
