SNOW connector should support domains (within a ServiceNow instance)

Domain separation allows for the logical isolation of different areas within a single ServiceNow instance. Hence, domains separate data, configurations, and processes within the same SNOW instance. This separation of data is key when multiple enti...

Allow for defining custom date and time formats. This should be globally or per tenant. Maybe have a few predefined formats to choose from. Maybe have ISO 8601 as the default. Let us choose the default time zone as UTC regardless of our local time zone. This should cover all places where a date and time is displayed - unless it came from an external source like in metadata. Maybe let a different format be chosen per widget if needed.

Pin the global Views box on reports

Other controls, such as global filters, are pinned so that they remain on the top of the screen as the user scrolls through the dashboard. Doing the same with Views would allow the customer to quickly see if there are any restrictive views which m...
