AI Risk and Compliance

AI risk and compliance home page

The Risk and compliance tab now features dedicated Risk overview and Compliance overview sections that enable you to continuously monitor the risk and compliance posture of your AI assets.

The Risk overview section is a filtered view of your AI assets that are based on inherent and residual risk levels so that you can make informed risk evaluations. The Compliance overview section displays the regulatory risk classification of AI systems, models, and datasets through donut charts. Additionally, you can see the compliance status of your AI assets in relation to applicable authority documents and internal policies.

Worknotes and comments in AI system records
The AI system record now supports worknotes and comments. You can now document decisions, share updates, and provide context throughout the AI risk and compliance life-cycle. Worknotes and comments help improve the communication among stakeholders and ensure a comprehensive audit trail.

AI Search

Zurich Patch 4
Search Suggestions
Search administrators with the ais_admin granular admin role can access all Search Suggestions tables. Assign search administrators this role to eliminate needless propagation of full admin access.
Gain insights into search behavior with a refreshed and updated Search Preview UI.
Preview search query results using settings from a search application configuration or a search profile. Choose between keyword and hybrid search modes. Display search results as individual EVAM cards or as a JSON-format search query response object, with search and syntax highlighting. Review search query behavior and results and specify search query settings with the new Summary, Genius Results, Details, and Profile admin tools.
Zurich Patch 1
Consumer-grade search experience for search portals
The search results page for search portals has been revised to offer a more intuitive and consistent experience. Navigation tabs have been replaced with source facet buckets. All search results now open in a new browser tab, preserving your search in the existing browser tab. Facet buckets now show minimum search result counts, reflecting results removed by late binding content security. Search terms are no longer highlighted in search results.
Consumer-grade search experience for global search and workspace search
The search results page for global search and workspace search has been revised to offer a more intuitive and consistent experience. Navigation tabs have been replaced with source facet buckets. All search results now open in a new browser tab, preserving your search in the existing browser tab. Facet buckets now show minimum search result counts, reflecting results removed by late binding content security. A new glide.ui.ais.show_all_facets system property enables you to display facets from all sources when no source is selected. (The default behavior is to hide facets until a source is selected.) Search terms are no longer highlighted in search results.
Sort facet buckets alphabetically
Override the default sorting of facet buckets by their search result counts and display them sorted alphabetically by their labels.
Improved display for grouped attachment search results
When grouped with their parent search results, attachment search results now appear in collapsed form to save space. If a parent search result includes more than three grouped attachments, you can use the new Show more and Show less links to control how many attachments are visible.

Zurich Patch 1
AI Search analytics dashboard
The Date range interactive filter now enables you to access data from the last 180 days, rather than the last 90 days.

Advanced Risk

Some Now Assist skills, agents, and agentic workflows are now turned on by default
The skills are automatically available to appropriate role users for the application, such as ITIL roles on incident forms or change forms. This change simply activates the skill and does not touch the roles that may be needed to use the skill. The new default behavior works as follows:
  • New customers: When you install a Now Assist product, designated skills and agentic workflows are turned on automatically.
  • Existing customers who are upgrading (starting with Zurich Patch 4): Any previously unconfigured skill, agent, or agentic workflow is turned on automatically (the AI asset was never configured and turned on, then turned off again). Previously configured skills and agentic workflows that were turned on, then off, remain inactive.

Agent experience for CSM

Thin compose modeless dialogs
Enable agents to initiate a comment, work note, or email in the activity stream and then open the text in a modeless dialog. This feature is available on the following record pages:
  • Front-line case page
  • CSM default record page
  • CSM Interaction record page
  • CSM voice interaction record page
  • CSM centered chat interaction record page
  • Email interaction record page
Activity Stream enhancements
  • Activity Stream layout now automatically adjusts to your device (laptop, tablet, or mobile). Hidden content is indicated by (...) for better readability.

Use the Lookup component to look up and link a contact and then verify the contact. The Lookup component replaces the Lookup and Verify component on the CSM Configurable Workspace record pages.
Hide inbox after item selection
The Inbox panel collapses after selecting an inbox item, enabling agents to see more of the screen and focus on the interaction.
Multi-form controller support
Supports having two forms on a record page.
Real-time notification count updates
Updated the bell icon behavior so the notification count accurately reflects the number of unique, unread notifications in real time, eliminating duplicate increments.
Customer History enhancements
Use the following enhancements to control grouping, appearance, and refresh behavior in customer history:
  • Enable time grouping by month or quarter: A new property enables selection of time grouping as monthly or quarterly (Q1-Q4) in date filters.
  • Customize feed appearance: Admins can configure feed icons along with their background colors using a property that offers predefined color options.
  • Display activities by updated date: A new property enables feeds to surface activities based on the last updated timestamp in Customer History.
  • Dynamic refresh updates: Customer History feeds now refresh automatically, but only for records in the Customer History activities table and within the current context (for example, Contact). Other tables and parent records are not included.
  • Introduced a new search icon that lets agents show or hide the search bar with a click.
Improve discoverability of Recommended Actions
Use the following updates to improve the visibility of Recommended Actions across key CSM pages:
  • Set Recommended Actions as the default first tab in the contextual side panel to provide agents with instant access to recommendations without switching tabs. This change applies to the following pages:
    • Front-line case page
    • CSM default record page
    • CSM Interaction record page
    • Email interaction record page
    • CSM voice interaction record page
    • CSM centered chat interaction record page
  • Load Recommended Actions asynchronously to keep the UI responsive while recommendations load.
  • Enable agents to send relevant KB articles through SMS during voice interactions and messaging-type interactions.
Default recommendations for Pro customers
Recommendations are now delivered by default for Pro customers when either the Task Intelligence for CSM or the Now Assist for CSM plugin is installed. Agents can view contextual recommendations under the Suggested Actions tab, such as similar cases and open incidents, when the case meets the predefined criteria. Agents can link or copy resolutions directly into the current case.
Resurface special handling notes
Display the special handling notes at any time by selecting  Special handling notes  from the More actions menu on the case record action bar. This action is now available on records from the following tables:
  • Account
  • Asset
  • Contact
  • Incident
  • Product Model
  • Work Order Task
This applies only to records where special handling notes are configured.
Information session tab enhancements
Use the following changes to enforce permissions and improve usability of the Session tab:
  • Restrict access to unauthorized users with error messages and validate role-based permissions.
  • Auto-save admin updates to timer and color changes in real time.
  • Display workspace settings only after the Session tab is enabled.
Configure Alert Dismissal settings at experience and alert level
Use the following settings to control alert dismissal:
  • Set alerts to auto-dismiss or require manual dismissal.
  • Configure alert behavior globally or according to alert.
  • Reduce alert overload while supporting accessibility standards, which helps agents focus on critical alerts.
ServiceNow Link Manager is available on the Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox plugin store
Streamline tab management and reduce browser clutter with ServiceNow Link Manager:
  • Automatically consolidates new ServiceNow related tabs into an existing open ServiceNow tab.
  • Provides cross-platform support.
  • Enables agents to share record links, such as cases, through platforms like Gmail, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, and other web tools integrated with ServiceNow. These links open using ServiceNow Link Manager, ensuring the record loads in the correct workspace and context.
  • Provides a user-friendly interface that is easy to enable and turn off directly from the extension settings in the respective browser.
Follow records to receive notifications
Select the Follow action to receive notifications when comments or work notes are added to a record. The Follow action is available in the More actions menu on the Front-line case page and the CSM default record page.

App Engine Studio

Granular configuration admin roles
Several new granular admin roles enable developers to complete administrative configuration tasks without requiring the full admin role.
Separate App Engine Management Center release notes
The App Engine Management Center (AEMC) release notes now appear separately from the App Engine Studio release notes because you can use AEMC to manage app development for apps built in App Engine Studio, Creator Studio, and ServiceNow Studio. For information about AEMC, see App Engine Management Center release notes.

Application Manager

Unlicensed application information
In addition to details about applications that are already licensed, the "Available for you" tab of the Application Manager now includes information about applications that haven't been procured from the ServiceNow Store yet.

Application Vulnerability Response

Configure maximum rows in related lists
To improve readability and performance, you can now limit the number of rows shown in related lists on forms by setting the system property sn_vul_cmn.related_list.set_max_row.
Improved state management for remediation tasks and vulnerable items
State management logic for roll down of state from remediation tasks (RTs) to findings and roll up of state from findings to RTs has been refined across all modules. Updates improve accuracy by handling mixed item states (a combination of Deferred and Closed), supporting closure of tasks in sub-states like In-Review, and reopening tasks based on the Assigned To field. The update also improves handling of False Positive state transitions based on scanner results as source of truth. These enhancements reduce manual effort, clarify task ownership, and streamline remediation workflows.

Authentication

Enhanced SSO login and logout experience
Use the enhanced SSO login and logout experience. Enhancement includes:
  • Display of active SAML and OIDC Identity Providers (IdPs) on the ServiceNow platform and portal login pages.
  • Assign users to specific groups during SAML and OIDC auto-provisioning.
  • Set up OIDC with the same well-known URL. The OIDC configurations can use the same well-known URL of the IdPs for multiple SSO records.
  • Display login failure reasons to the users who logged out of ServiceNow due to session expiry or other reasons. Use the login link on the external logout page to again log in to ServiceNow in case of successful logout.
  • Display of a generic error message for unsuccessful single log out.
  • Enhanced email notifications for SAML certificate and Encryption Key store update.
FIDO2 as an MFA factor

OAuth integrations
Configure OAuth integration that includes the following enhancements:
  • You can provide a maximum client secret length up to 4096 characters to meet security requirements of the third-party systems.
  • You can provide a JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) URL to automatically manage and update the public key for JSON Web Tokens (JWT) signature validation.
  • You can request OAuth tokens using the JWT grant type signed with Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ES) signing algorithms, including ES256, ES384, and ES512, for inbound JSON Web Tokens (JWT). It also supports RS256, RS384, RS512, HS256, HS384, and HS512.
  • You can customize the JWT ID (JTI) claim name in both inbound OpenID Connect (OIDC) and JWT Bearer flows.

Case management for CSM

Sharing task plan templates ensures that only authorized users can access, edit, or share templates based on their role and location, preventing misuse and maintaining operational integrity. Sharing task plant template features include:
  • Access control: Users can now provide access to task plan templates at various levels, including user, group, and service organization.
  • Ownership Management: The Owner or an Admin can change the ownership of a Template by updating the Owner field.
  • Global template: Task plan templates can be marked as global, making them visible to all users with read access.
  • Form and List Layouts: Admins can view and edit form and list layouts for sharing, displaying all relevant fields.
  • Notifications: In-app notifications are sent when access is granted, Selecting the notification opens the shared template directly.
Task plan template configurations
Admins can create configurations for task plan templates that pre-fill information when creating a new task plan template.
Filtering service definitions
Enable agents to filter the service definitions that are shown on the service selector in the following ways:
  • By user, role, group, or agent
  • By entity critera such as location, customer level, or related entities
Case lines for Case Management - Add multiple entitlements to case lines
View the available entitlements on a case line and associate the multiple entitlements to that case line. Available entitlements are associated with the contracts and entitlements that are purchased by the customer.
Targeted Communications and Case Digests workflows
Legacy workflows for the Targeted Communications (com.sn_publications) and Case Digests (com.sn_csm_case_digest) applications have been migrated to low-code flows in Workflow Studio. The functionality of the flows remains the same.
Classifying sensitive data
Fields in the Customer Service Management and Targeted Communications tables are mapped to the Data Privacy data classes. For more information, see the Data privacy overview topic in the ServiceNow® Platform Security documentation.
Deny-Unless ACLs implemented on CSM tables
Deny-Unless access control lists (ACLs) were implemented on CSM tables for non-authenticated users, such as users with public roles. With this minimum-security setting, only authenticated users can perform read, write, delete, or create actions on these tables. For more information about Deny-Unless ACLs, see the Deny-Unless ACL topic in the ServiceNow® Platform Security documentation.
Customer Service Case Types moved from family to store release
Starting with the Zurich release, the Customer Service Case Types application (sn_csm_case_types) has moved to the ServiceNow Store. Any new enhancements to this application are delivered through the Customer Service Case Types store app.

Change Management

Propose a standard change template in Service Operations Workspace
As a user with the itil role, you can create a standard change template proposal in Service Operations Workspace.

Code Signing

Enhanced Code-Signing Verification for ACC Framework Table
You can now generate KMF signature files for tables that extend Agent Client Collector Configuration (sn_agent_configuration_file) and Agent Client Collector Plugin (sn_agent_asset). This enhancement allows attachments from the tables to successfully pass code-signing verification and be downloaded to the MID Server when code signing is enabled.

Collaborative Work Management

My Work enhancements

Track all your work from one place using the enhanced My Work in CWM. My Work now supports all ServiceNow task records-such as incidents, changes, and requests-whether they originate in CWM or outside, giving you a unified view of everything assigned to you. This helps you stay on top of overdue or open tasks and improves on-time delivery.

Additionally, the Item type filter has been refined to show all CWM tasks (including custom ones) grouped under a single category, instead of listing every CWM task type individually. You’ll also only see task types in the filter that you’re actually assigned to, reducing clutter and making it easier to filter what matters.

Enhancements to tables in Docs
  • Resize the column width of a table per your preference.
  • Add color to single or multiple table cells.
Enhancements to CWM Board templates
  • Save template: While saving a Board as a template, choose between saving the current view or all shared views. You can see the number of Board views and custom task types that are included in this template.

    These details are displayed in the Template Center, where you can select a template that best meets your team's needs.

  • Apply template: While applying a Board template, you can see the number of Board views and custom task types that you get if you apply this template. The Board views drop-down list lets you switch between views and provides information on the type of views that are enabled in this template.

    Only those custom columns that are part of these views are brought over when you apply this template.

Collaborating with Spaces in CWM

When a user is added to the Assigned to field of a CWM task but doesn't yet have access to the Space, the email notification requesting access is sent only to the Space owners. This way, there's less email clutter for all the Space users because notifications are sent to only those users who need to know this information.

New columns for CWM tasks
Every task within a CWM Board has new columns called Sprint and Story points. You can use these columns if you choose to plan any task into Sprints. These columns are available on every type of work item, including the items that are brought into the Board through Connected work.
Changes within CWM Docs
  • Open the keyboard shortcut panel:
    • macOS: Cmd + Option + K
    • Windows OS: Ctrl + Alt + K
  • Images can be resized after inserting them within a table cell.
  • The page name can be updated by editing the name and clicking anywhere on the Doc.
  • Moving content blocks to within a numbered list or deleting a list item from a list automatically adjusts the list numbering.

Common Core

States in the entity based record access update utility
A new Preview state has been added to the record access update utility life cycle. You can now review the estimated number of impacted records before you apply the restrictions. This step helps you to validate the selected scope, assess potential impacts, and make adjustments, if needed. It also adds an extra layer of control and reduces the risk of unintended access changes.

Configurable Workspace

Configuration Compliance

Configure Qualys Test Result Granularity
You can now configure the granularity of configuration test results (CTR) in configuration compliance and split CTRs into unique findings. For example, if a database has five instances, the system creates five distinct test results for each instance within a database. This provides more flexibility and visibility into individual patching efforts.
Configure maximum rows in related lists
To improve readability and performance, you can now limit the number of rows shown in related lists on forms by setting the system property sn_vul_cmn.related_list.set_max_row.
Improved state management for remediation tasks and vulnerable items
State management logic for roll down of state from remediation tasks (RTs) to findings and roll up of state from findings to RTs has been refined across all modules. Updates improve accuracy by handling mixed item states (a combination of Deferred and Closed), supporting closure of tasks in sub-states like In-Review, and reopening tasks based on the Assigned To field. The update also improves handling of False Positive state transitions based on scanner results as source of truth. These enhancements reduce manual effort, clarify task ownership, and streamline remediation workflows.

Configuration Management Database (CMDB)

CMDB Workspace v7.6
  • On the Published policy tile on the Data Manager policies page, the policies list view now shows the scheduled job that is associated with the policy and the user that the policy runs as.

    For more information, see Create a CMDB Data Manager policy.

  • Instead of the system automatically setting the run as attribute of the scheduled certification and attestation jobs to be the user that authored the policy, you can now set a specific user that adheres to the policies and regulations in the organization. Configure the default values for the run as user and user accounts available for run as assignees for auditing purposes when it’s important to know who initiated the changes.

    For more information, see Components related to CMDB Data Manager.

  • For certification and attestation policy tasks, choose how to assign tasks in cases where a specified task assignment field is empty for a target CI. Specify a user or a user group to assign such tasks to, or create the tasks without assigning them. An administrator can later review and assign those tasks.

    For more information, see Create a CMDB Data Manager policy.

  • View the closed tasks in the My Work view in CMDB Workspace. Select the Closed card in the Task status tile to review the (in read-only mode) details for tasks that are in the Closed Complete, Closed Canceled, Closed Incomplete, or Rejected state.

    For more information, see My Work view in CMDB Workspace.

  • New CIs in the Create CI experience no longer have their Operational status attribute set. The new CI Operational state attribute appears on the Additional attributes page of the Create CI experience. Setting it to any value is optional.

    For more information, see Create a CI manually in CMDB Workspace.

  • The itil user role now contains the sn_cmdb_user user role and no longer contains the sn_cmdb_editor user role. As a result, the following functions that were accessible to itil users now require the sn_cmdb_editor user role:
    • Create and delete the operations that are related to CMDB 360 queries.
    • Access the CMDB Retirement Definitions module by navigating to All > Configuration > CMDB Retirement Definitions.
    • Access the Create CI quick link on the Home view of CMDB Workspace.
Containment in the itil user role

  • Contract configuration
  • External storage and e-signature integrations
  • Mappings for Now Assist contract metadata extraction and Now Assist contract analysis

The Contract Request table is automatically selected for a new configuration. You can manually select a different table, if necessary.

Configure dynamic tables for contract template
Set up contract templates on the Contract Request [sn_cm_core_contract_request] table to reuse the template across business units. When you select the Contract Request table, the Table tab in the Microsoft Word add-in displays an additional field, called the Parent request table field, that you can use to select the source parent request table.

Additionally, the Table field has been renamed Lookup table. You can select the table from the data that is populated into the contract document.

If the template isn’t based on the Contract Request table, only the Lookup table field is shown.

Copy fields from parent request to contract request
Automatically copy the required fields from the originating business unit record to the contract request when it’s initiated.
Signature workflow for a contract request
Wet signature requests are sent one signatory at a time, starting with the first signatory in order, rather than to all signatories at the same time. Signatories can be changed even after the signing process has been initiated. When a signatory signs and returns the document, the fulfiller manages the remaining signatures.
Modify signatories
Enable contract fulfillers to pause an ongoing signature process, make necessary changes to the list or order of signatories, and then resume the process without restarting the entire workflow by using the Modify Signatories and Resume signature options. This feature is supported only for the Docusign electronic signature provider.
Resend signature request
Enable contract fulfillers to manually trigger a signature request when needed instead of relying on automated reminders by using the Resend signature request option.
Configuring signatories in Contract template using Microsoft Word add-in
Signature placeholders in contract templates are now mapped to the e-signature tool tags (such as Docusign) instead of signer fields to help accommodate changes in the signatories. The values in the signature blocks are filled in by the signatories during the signing process.

Prevent credential exposure by updating HTTP Classify behavior
The HTTP Classify probe no longer attempts credentials over the HTTP protocol by default. This change enhances security by helping prevent potential exposure of credentials over unencrypted connections. To override this behavior, a new MID Server property, mid.http_classy.allow_credentials_over_http, has been introduced. Enabling this setting might expose credentials to man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. Therefore, it’s strongly recommended to keep this property set to false and use HTTPS whenever possible.
Automated Certificate Renewal
Starting with version 3.8.2, Certificate Inventory and Management introduces automated renewal capabilities. Administrators can set certificates to renew automatically, either when creating the certificate or by applying the setting to an existing one. The system also enables you to define the renewal window by specifying the number of days before expiration that the process should begin.

Now Assist AI agents

Zurich Patch 4
Platform Request status AI agent

The request status AI agent provides an AI-generated summary of the most recent comments from the AI agent or other people working on a ticket. You can add attachments to an open ticket or incident to support a request action. To find more information about an open ticket, you can ask the request status AI agent follow-up questions based on previous answers from the agent.

Understand the Now Assist AI agents
The base reflection prompt has been replaced with the ReAct Orchestrator prompt, introducing a Route scheduling mode when an agent needs assistance from another agent during execution.
Configure Now Assist AI agents

After the roles are configured, users must have the specified role to invoke the agentic workflow or AI agent.
Create a CI using Now Assist
Verbal interaction with this feature has improved. Occasionally, you might need to create a CI manually. To help you, the CI creator agentic workflow accepts your natural language request and verifies that it understands which class the new CI should belong to. The workflow then checks Identification and Reconciliation engine (IRE) rules to determine the required attributes for the CI and requests that information. After you provide sufficient data, the workflow ensures that the proposed CI includes the attributes that you requested, complies with IRE rules, and is not a duplicate. The workflow then creates the CI.
Getting advice from Now Assist on CMDB governance
To help users understand the value of each step in the process, responses include richer context. The CMDB Governance agentic workflow supports administrators and service owners by improving CMDB data governance. Before starting in on each governance task, the workflow presents the reasons for the task to help you better understand the importance and benefits of the activity. The objective is to ensure that CMDB data is accurate and complete so that users can trust the data.
Use Now Assist to search the CMDB for CIs
Verbal interaction with this feature has improved. Users can now select the CI inline when multiple CIs are returned as matches. A summary of the CI now appears in the conversation. The CMDB search agentic workflow enables you to search for CIs by specifying any of several attributes of the CI of interest. The workflow accepts your natural language request, verifies your search goal, and then generates a keyword search, a single-table search with dot walks, or a multi-table search, depending on the information that you provided. The workflow can infer CI relationship data to generate an appropriate query.
View CI information with the Now Assist CI summarization skill
Verbal interaction with this feature has improved. You can now view a concise summary of the key CI data by selecting the CI on a CI form, in a workspace page, or on any list view. The summary can include discovery data, ownership, and key related items such as open incidents, alerts, problems, upcoming change requests, and security vulnerabilities. Additionally, the summary lists the service instances that the CI is part of.
Resolve de-duplication tasks with support from the Now Assist Manage duplicate CIs skill. CMDB administrators follow step-by-step guidance to perform remediation, and can preview remediation results before applying a template.
Fix SGC import set issues with the Now Assist SGC diagnosis skill
Verbal interaction with this feature has improved. You can now diagnose a failed import set that is associated with a Service Graph Connector to get a summary of the errors and recommendations for resolving the issues.
