Hello Gadi,

scroll down on the Data sources setup page (see screenshot) to get to the SQL 
inclusion configuration.

The data source widgets seem to refer to data inclusion files (see
https://sympa-community.github.io/manual/customize/data-sources.html), but it 
is weird that these are empty and also the
help text is missing.
