Create fields (columns) automatically while importing from CSV

Hi guys,

I am trying to import CSV file with a lot of columns. Is there a way to create these columns automatically in my target table? I cannot see this option while creating transform map.

Hi,

Short answer, no you can't.

The purpose of the transform is not to create or change the data model in the target table, it's just to put the right data/fields in the staging table into the target table.

The staging table on the other hand is more dynamic, and can/should be changed if the import file changes with added columns etc.

Hi Olan,

Get it. Can I create then a new table automatically using fields from CSV file?

Hi Alex

you can use the Easy Import feature and then after the first import you can modify automatically created configurations.

see https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/rome-platform-administration/page/administer/import-sets/concept/...

Kind regards

Hi Maik,

Looks like I have to create columns first (manually) and after import data
