Set up data tables in Perfecto native automation

Typically, while testing using Perfecto native automation, data tables are useful when running a set of tests in a suite or suites all being always run on a existing set of devices within the same Perfecto cloud, and if one or more device(s) need to be swapped with another one, we can just update the record for that device with the ID of the newer device.

Data tables are set up under Repository > Data Tables, as shown in the following image.

Here, you can create new and update existing data tables. 

Select to create a new data table, then click Save As, provide a name, and select a location for your data table. Last, click on Save in the pop-up window. 

Now, in the newly created data table, add columns for each device you want to use. This is done using the add button with the plus sign at the top. 

When all required devices have been added, the data table will look like in the following image.

Now, you can use this data table in scripts in the Perfecto native automation, where you can specify which device in the data table to use for any particular scripts.
