        {
            DataClassification = CustomerContent;

        }
        Field(2; "Group Description"; text[100])

        key(PK1; GroupCode)
        {
            Clustered = true;
        }
    }



}

2. Create New page 

page 50100 "SetupPage"
{
    PageType = ListPart;
    SourceTable = SetupTable;
    layout
    {
        area(content)
        {
            repeater(SetupGroup)
            {

                field("Group Description"; "Group Description")
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                    ToolTip = 'Specifies a description.';
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Step 3 :- Now use new assisted setup module to create assisted setup as below

codeunit 50100 "SetupTableAssistedSetup"
{

    var
        AssistedSetup: Codeunit "Assisted Setup";
        AssistedSetupGroup: Enum "Assisted Setup Group";
        CurrentGlobalLanguage: Integer;
        SetupWizardTxt: Label 'Set up Table';

        AlreadySetUpQst: Label 'Setup is already set up. To change settings for it, go to the setup again.Do you want go there now ?';

    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"Assisted Setup", 'OnRegister', '', false, false)]
    local procedure SetupInitialize()

    begin

        AssistedSetup.Add(GetAppId(), PAGE::SetupPage, SetupWizardTxt, AssistedSetupGroup::Extensions, '', SetupWizardLinkTxt);
        GLOBALLANGUAGE(1033);
        AssistedSetup.AddTranslation(GetAppId(), PAGE::SetupPage, 1033, SetupWizardTxt);
        GLOBALLANGUAGE(CurrentGlobalLanguage);
        GetInformationSetupStatus();
    end;

    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"Assisted Setup", 'OnReRunOfCompletedSetup', '', false, false)]
    local procedure OnReRunOfCompletedSetup(ExtensionId: Guid; PageID: Integer; var Handled: Boolean)
    begin
        if ExtensionId <> GetAppId() then
            exit;
        case PageID of
            Page::"Assisted Company Setup Wizard":
                begin
                    if Confirm(AlreadySetUpQst, true) then
                        Page.Run(PAGE::SetupPage);
                    Handled := true;
                end;
        end;
    end;

    local procedure GetAppId(): Guid
    var
        Info: ModuleInfo;
        EmptyGuid: Guid;
    begin
        if Info.Id() = EmptyGuid then
            NavApp.GetCurrentModuleInfo(Info);
        exit(Info.Id());
    end;


    local procedure GetInformationSetupStatus()
    var
        SetupTab: Record SetupTable;
    begin
        SetupTab.SetFilter(GroupCode, '<>%1', '');
        If SetupTab.IsEmpty() then
            exit;
        AssistedSetup.Complete(GetAppId(), Page::SetupPage);
