Question

How to retrieve the display value for a column from a ServiceNow instance

Environment

  • Tableau Desktop
  • ServiceNow

Answer

Use a cdata_servicenow.properties file to customize the connection:
  1. Edit and save the attached cdata_servicenow.properties file in a text editor (such as Notepad). To return display values for all fields, set the DisplayValue connection property to TRUE. To return both actual and display values, set the property to ALL.
  2. Save the cdata_servicenow.properties file to the My Tableau Repository\Datasources directory.
