# Datatable Setup

The **Datatable Setup** allows users to configure and manage the data table displayed in the list with precision and flexibility. This feature enables users to customize how data is presented to meet their specific needs. For example, users can adjust the number of records displayed per page and use the virtual column feature to calculate and display new information based on existing data.
