Import · May 26, 2022 · article

Current situation

By default, System tables are restricted for reporting and in UI Builder. However, in some scenarios, we need to get access to such tables. When building Apps with App Engine Studio we often need access to common tables such as Attachment [sys_attachment] and Email [sys_email] which are not available by default in UI Builder.

Solution

To expose a system table in AES:1. Navigate to System Properties > UI Properties (sys_properties.list)2. Search for the property “glide.ui.permitted_tables”3. Switch to the Global scope

4. Add the table you need to use at the end of the comma-separated string
