# About the CDT component

The Zilliant-developed **Configurable Data Table** (CDT) component is a platform-level component for all Zilliant products. This component enables you to flexibly display any type of data from a Salesforce object in a tabular format.

Use the CDT component to solve a variety of use cases that are too complex for the standard Salesforce components displaying object data in a tabular format. For example, the CDT component is ideal for displaying **product group actions** (PGAs) published from **[Campaign Manager](/v1/docs/cm-00)**.

Use this component to also optionally pre-filter your displayed records, and define both header-level and row-level action buttons that invoke custom event handlers.

          Note

          

The following permission sets are required to define and configure the CDT component:

- **Zilliant Platform User**:
  - Defines the **Configurable Data Table** component
  - Grants a read-only access to the **Data Table Configurations** tab
- **Zilliant Platform Administrator**:
  - Grants a full access to the **Data Table Configurations** tab
- **Deal Manager Document Owner** and all permissions sets, licenses, and profiles that are related to this persona:
  - Enables configuring custom event handlers for header- and row-level action buttons.

1. [Define a CDT configuration](/v1/docs/define-cdt-configuration).
2. [Define fields for CDT](/v1/docs/define-fields-for-cdt-table) and define filters that those fields will have to pass to be displayed by the CDT.
3. [Define action buttons for CDT](/v1/docs/define-action-buttons-for-cdt).
4. (Optional.) [Translate CDT labels](/v1/docs/translate-cdt-labels).
