Note:
To design a custom report that uses data from the table, you must also enter

CAUTION:
CMS does not automatically check the database for disk space used by data
in custom tables. As a result, you can inadvertently fill up your disk with
custom data. When this happens, you can lose or damage custom data and
ACD data. Therefore, if you create custom data tables, be careful to
regularly check the amount of disk space available. See Avaya
CMS R3V11
Administration, 585-215-515, for more information on disk storage.
