As a content editor, you can manage data stored in custom tables in CMS Desk -> Tools -> Custom tables. As an administrator, you can access the same interface through Site Manager -> Development -> Custom tables -> edit () -> Data as well.

2. Click the Edit () icon next to the People table.

 

3. Click the New item button.

 

4. Fill in any values.

 

 

5. Click Save to store the data into the custom table.

 

6. Use the Create another button and create at least two more records.
