    Key Features

    • Name: Defines the remote table's name on the ServiceNow AI Platform.
    • Application: Specifies the application scope, which can be global or application-specific.
    • ERP Module: Selects the ERP module (e.g., sales orders or inventory) from a predefined list representing distinct business processes. Modules outside the list require contacting ServiceNow Technical Support.
    • ERP Model: Links the remote table to a specific ERP model controlling the available fields. Changing the ERP model requires unlocking the model to avoid losing configured fields unavailable in the new model.
    • Attachment Setting: Determines how data is retrieved:
      • Use attachment: Uses cached ERP responses, avoiding real-time calls.
      • None: Calls the ERP system in real time to fetch data.
    • ERP System: Connects the remote table to a particular ERP instance, enabling data flow. Customers can create ERP systems within the connector.
    • Remote Table Link: Provides direct access to explore and manage the remote table in a new browser tab.
    • Page Size: Configures the number of records fetched per call (default is 1000), with a caution about potential MID Server memory impact when increased.
    • Short Description & Long Text: Fields for brief and detailed descriptions of the remote table’s purpose and content.
    • Requires Queryable Field: Indicates if data retrieval requires querying the source table. Smaller tables may store data locally and not require queries.
    • Enable Schedule: Allows scheduling periodic data retrieval from the remote table.
