Why each option
This question asks for the ServiceNow feature that enables reporting on data from related tables.
While SQL is the underlying database language, ServiceNow reports use its UI and features like Dot Walking, not direct SQL queries for end-users.
Dot Walking is a ServiceNow feature that allows you to access fields from a related table by traversing the reference fields. In reporting, it lets you include data from secondary tables linked by reference fields directly in your report without needing to write complex SQL joins.
Outer Join is a SQL concept for combining tables, but 'Dot Walking' is the ServiceNow-specific feature that abstracts this for reporting and scripting.
Joins is a general database concept, but 'Dot Walking' is the specific ServiceNow implementation and terminology for accessing related data.
