Data Model
The CData Excel Add-In for ServiceNow models ServiceNow data as an easy-to-use SQL database. There are three parts to the data model: tables, views, and stored procedures. Live connectivity to these objects means that any changes to your ServiceNow account are immediately available. You can use the add-in to work with all the tables in your account, including custom tables.
Tables
The Tables section, which details standard SQL tables, and the Views section, which lists read-only SQL tables, contain samples of what you might have access to in your ServiceNow account.
