I need to report on 'sys_attachment' table. But this attachment table is not appearing on the Reports table field. How can I include 'sys_attachment' table? any settings? And why is not appearing?

Hi @Vidya Aeil ,
In order to be able to build report on sys_ tables, you need to add the table name sys_attachment to system property "glide.ui.permitted_tables"

Hello @Vidya Aeil ,
By default system tables are prohibited from reporting which is controlled by a system property named as "glide.ui.permitted_tables" .
You need to open this property in sys_properties table and then add "sys_attachment" table name in the value field of property form and save it.
Note: Please confirm with your admin or team members or project managers first to do this change as its by defult restricted by servicenow
Hope this helps
Mark my answer correct if this helps you
