Data tables are a fundamental when it comes to managing feeds.
They provide a structured format, that allows to organize and store various attributes associated with creative ads, such as image URLs, image files, product IDs, product description, etc.
It can be also used as an alternative to Google Spreadsheets for managing the dynamic data for the Feeds.
