Allows you to create or modify table definitions. Tables store data generated and used by your application. When you create tables in Dexterity, you'll use or define several elements required for tables to store and access information properly, such as fields, keys and table relationships. Before you create tables, be sure you've defined all the fields that you will be using to store information in the table.

If you're creating Dexterity applications that integrate with Microsoft Dynamics GP, be aware that Microsoft Dynamics GP table structures can't be modified. Additional information must be stored separately in tables you add. |
Once tables have been defined, you can link them to Dexterity resources such as windows and reports, allowing several parts of your application to access the table's information. You'll use windows to allow users to enter, retrieve and view information, while reports will allow you to organize and present your information.
