SNOW-CAD Working with Data Practice Question
A developer needs to import data from a CSV file into a custom table. Which ServiceNow module should be used for this task?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse 'Data Source' (a configuration record within Import Sets) with the overall module, leading them to select D instead of C, but the question asks for the module used to perform the import task.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Import Sets
Import Sets are the correct ServiceNow module for importing data from a CSV file into a custom table. They provide a structured pipeline that maps CSV columns to table fields, with staging tables for validation before final insertion. This is the standard approach for one-time or recurring data imports in ServiceNow.
