## Introduction

If the connection string references files, the **table scope** defines what path is used as the base directory.

Below is a description of the available options for the table scope.

     Scope  
     Description  
  
 
 
  
     Server  
     The base directory of the files is the Server data . These files can be found in the Superadmin Server data tab. Note: When deploying an app which references server data files to another UiPath Process Mining installation, the same files must be present on the new server. 
  
  
     Workspace  
     The base directory is the root of the workspace of the current project. Note: In your workspace, only data files with a maximum size of 10 MB are allowed. To prevent the use of excessive storage space, use Server scope instead if you want to use larger data files or data files that change often. When creating a release, the files belonging to a workspace scoped table are packaged within the release and will be used automatically when deployed on any server. However, if you need to update the data of such a table, you need to make a new release. 
  
  
     none  
     This option is only used for tables that query data. Note: Do not use this option for tables that get information from files.
