Hi @Ramesh_143 , 
It is displaying the file and format based on the fields Type and Format on the data source.

Hi @Ramesh_143 ,

When you do a data load into ServiceNow, you have an option to choose whether you are loading the data from a file or from a data source.

The file type and format is picked when you upload data and then gets stored in import set table.

Attaching screenshot for reference

Please mark helpful and accept as solution if this response helped you in anyway.

Thanks,
Mahathi

you don't upload the file to import set table

Import Set table is the table which holds information about the status of the import and tells which data source table was involved in loading the data.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
