What is a data source in the case of GitLab?

A data source is a GitLab board. The pricing is based on the number of boards you explicitly import to Screenful, not the total number of boards in GitLab. You can compare plans on the pricing page.

You can import data sources from all the tools we support in the same Screenful account. Learn more about managing data sources.
