Hi @Dang Van 

If you're trying to dot-walking a reference field in Where clause of the joining tables, it will be no you can't.

You can join more tables to achieve it.

Hello Dang,
Database view is basically functionality in ServiceNow all it is just a combination of more than one table so that you can integrate the data and display it in the form "where you can merge multiple tables into one" of reports .

 

yes, we can use dot-walk when you create a report based on a database view.

 

Refer below article it will helps you.

You can find more details here Database views 

 

Those tables can be merged into one by using common field between two table so in your case you would need to find out common field between time worked and time card table. You may refer existing database views to understand more.
