Data Source is the initial source of data sets that contain tables and fields for further analysis. You can create as many Data Sources as you need. See our User Guide to learn how to create a data source.
If you need to get data about something (User), but the data is not present in the table you selected (Incidents table), you must first ensure that a relationship between them is created. You can do so by creating a reference field that references the parent table (Incident) on the child table (User). That would allow using a dot-walking mechanism that is supported by Connector to retrieve required data easily. Follow these steps to check if data is configured properly.
Yes, ServiceNow dot-walking mechanism is supported. Refer to the documentation to learn more.
You can export any ServiceNow tables and fields (including Custom tables and fields).
