Why?

• To explore the cosmos of your ServiceNow data like a jedi

What is the Data Explorer?

• It is a tool to navigate the data in the platform
  
  • It can display Records (table but also CMDB), References and CMDB Relationships
    
  • It is now limited to administrators, but could be improved later
• As of now it is a lab to test more advanced features, I am still analyzing the Use Cases
  
  • Feel free to contact me if you have feedback or ideas
