Hi,

Task [task] is one of the core tables provided with the base system. It provides a series of standard fields used on each of the tables that extend it, such as the Incident [incident] and Problem , Change etc. Refer the link below for more info:

Hope this helps. Mark the answer as correct/helpful based on impact.

Hi Carlos,

In Service now there are mainly two tables are there.

1) Task(task) table.

2) Configuration Item(cmdb_ci) Table.

These two tables are called as parent tables.

Many other tables are extended from these tables which are called child tables.

Task's child tables.

all these tables are extended or inherited from task table, all these we can cosider as task's tables.

change request

change task

Incident

Problem

Request

Requested Item

Catalog Task

Group Approval

Configuration Item child table's.

All these tables are extended from cmdb_ci table.
