3. You can enter the **Table Details** to process the data.

<Note>
  After configuration, all tables that are part of the connector are listed in the **Table Details** section. By default, it displays a single table upon successful connection, showing information specific to the client connector and the tables it supports. For multiple tables, you can select only those tables you want to import and process.
