Business Continuity Management	Element definitions and variables You can now add a Windows server asset in the Windows server element definition or a Linux server asset in the Linux server element definition. However, you can’t add the Windows server asset or the Linux server asset in the filter of the Hardware element definition.
Case management for CSM	Case type selector configuration Configure the Product Service select version of the case type selector to hide the product filter. Roles included with the customer service manager role The customer service manager role [sn_customerservice_manager] includes the approver user role [approver_user]. For upgrade customers, the approver user role replaces the approval admin role [approval_admin]. Users with the customer service manager role can approve the approval requests that are assigned to them. Process Mining Added different variants of the two enhanced types of base system opportunities that you can use on a project to identify and address common inefficiencies in customer operations: Rule-based finding definitions: Execute one or more finding rule chains in sequence according to the definitions. The records that match the logic of these specifications are classified as a match for improvement opportunities. Automated finding definitions: Show improvement opportunities by using the default patterns that are already available for selection.
Collaborative Work Management	Share a Space in CWM and manage sharing permissions While sharing a space with other collaborators, you can now search users and groups by email along with their name. This feature helps you choose the right collaborator in cases where individual users or groups have the same name.
Compliance Case Management	A new graphical chart enables your compliance case managers to monitor and access their compliance cases by the subtype classification.
Configuration Compliance	Test result and remediation task state transitions Enhancements to policy audits for Security Posture Control verify that retired assets are not evaluated by activated policies. If the state of an asset transitions from Retired back to Active, it is included in the next policy evaluation. Non-zero risk score for passed test results The risk score is calculated for passed test results to determine how much risk is mitigated. Deprecated the privilege to delete a test result for the Admin role As an admin with the sn_vulc.admin role, you can’t delete a test result. This privilege is now given to the sn_vulc.delete granular role. Updates to the Risk Score calculation for a Remediation Task The average risk score of all the test results in a Remediation Task is considered for the risk score calculation of a Remediation task.
Configuration Management Database (CMDB)	Access changes for the sn_cmdb_editor and sn_cmdb_admin user roles Starting with Xanadu Patch 9 (zbooted or upgraded), access has been reduced for the sn_cmdb_editor (CMDB Editor) and the sn_cmdb_admin (CMDB Admin) user roles which are used in CMDB Workspace. The sn_cmdb_editor and sn_cmdb_admin user roles no longer have create, update, or delete access to records in the Configuration Item [cmdb_ci] class. Starting with Xanadu Patch 10 (zbooted or upgraded), you must manually run the scheduled job 'Remove CMDB Roles from ITIL roles and Add CUD access to sn_cmdb_admin/sn_cmdb_editor roles to configure the sn_cmdb_admin and the sn_cmdb_editor user roles with the permissions that are necessary for performing some CMDB Workspace tasks. This scheduled job modifies user roles as follows: Updates the itil user role to no longer contain the sn_cmdb_editor user role, and updates the itil_admin user role to no longer contain the sn_cmdb_admin user role. If those permissions don't exist, updates the sn_cmdb_admin and the sn_cmdb_editor user roles with create, update, and delete access to the Configuration Item [cmdb_ci] class. For more information about the 'Remove CMDB Roles from ITIL roles and Add CUD access to sn_cmdb_admin/sn_cmdb_editor roles' scheduled job, see Remove sn_cmdb_admin from itil_admin and sn_cmdb_editor from itil, and then add create/update/delete access to cmdb_ci table for sn_cmdb_admin / sn_cmdb_editor [KB2290506]. CMDB Health Configuring and using CMDB Health is simplified by the removal of some concepts such as overall health scores. Sections on the CMDB Health Dashboard reporting on compliant CIs are clearly separated from report sections for non-compliant CIs that require your attention. Failure thresholds for KPIs and metrics enforce an upper limit of 100,000 to avoid excessive processing when a large number of CIs fail the specified metric tests. The CMDB Health Dashboard still shows non-compliance data that was gathered even if the process is stopped due to excessive failures so you can fix the specific failures already detected. CI health reporting is integrated into CI forms in CMDB Workspace. CMDB Workspace store app CMDB 360: Manage performance by filtering the data included in Coverage charts in the CMDB 360 dashboard in CMDB Workspace by principal class setting or by whether tables are within the CMDB hierarchy. Manage the scope of data processed by CMDB 360 by setting a maximum threshold for the number of multisource records per class and tracking those classes that exceed that threshold in a table so that those classes are excluded from future CMDB 360 calculations. You can override this exclusion to include selected classes even if they exceed the threshold. Data Certification When reviewing Data Certification tasks in CMDB Workspace, use a single click to select all the records associated with a task, to certify or fail the certification in bulk. CI timeline in CMDB Workspace When a CI timeline on the CI details pane in CMDB Workspace fails to load, the error message that appears now includes a link that you can select to go to the CI timeline in the base system. CSDM and the CMDB Data Foundations Dashboards Limit the performance impact of some of the CMDB and CSDM metrics such as the CIs Processed via IRE and Business Application with Application Service Relationship by adjusting the settings for triggering the system to automatically deactivate those metrics. Identify current and non-current metric data by viewing the Updated column in the list views of CMDB. Access the CSDM Data Foundations dashboard from the Management view in CMDB Workspace. Select a parent class in an IRE identification rule Avoid the unnecessary creation of a duplicate CI by setting the Search On Table field in an identification rule to one of the parent classes of the current class. When Identification and Reconciliation (IRE) identifies a CI in a parent class that matches a CI in the payload, IRE updates that CI with the details from the payload without creating a duplicate CI. Improved migration and ongoing sync of CSDM life-cycle data The one-time operation aligns CSDM life-cycle values in asset and CI tables. After the initial alignment, business rules can run on regular schedules to ensure that life-cycle values for the asset, CI, and IBI tables remain aligned. Using standard life-cycle values significantly improves data accuracy to help optimize value for many ServiceNow AI Platform applications. Application Services dashboard Internal queries on the Application Services dashboard that filters for application services now checks not only for all the records in the Application Service [cmdb_ci_service_auto] class, but for those records in which the value of Service classification is Application Service.
Container Vulnerability Response	Deprecated the privilege to delete a container vulnerable item for the Admin role As an admin with the sn_vul.vulnerability_admin role, you can't delete a container vulnerable item. This privilege is now given to the sn_vul.delete granular role.

The Notes field and Attachment field are added to the Assessment procedure page. The 360° View button is configured in all pages of CAM Workspace. CAM user role changes Defining roles and assigning privileges and permissions for approvals is critical to ensure security in the CAM application. The user role changes are: The Information Owner (sn_irm_cont_auth.information_owner) role can also update information types of an authorization package, and the role also contains the Audit user (sn_audit.user) role in addition to the Reader (sn_irm_cont_auth.reader) role. The Information System Security Manager (sn_irm_cont_auth.info_system_sec_manager) role can update the authorization package, and the role contains the Compliance user (sn_compliance.user) and Reader (sn_irm_cont_auth.reader) roles. The Information System Security Officer (sn_irm_cont_auth.info_system_sec_officer) role can update the authorization package. The Reader (sn_irm_cont_auth.reader) role contains the Audit reader (sn_audit.reader) role. The System User (sn_irm_cont_auth.system_user) role contains the Audit user (sn_audit.user) role.

Send REST Request - Inbound test step supports mutual authentication Use mutual authentication with the Send REST Request - Inbound test step by selecting an X.509 certificate. Apply ACLs to GraphQL API paths Specify which level of a GraphQL API to apply ACLs to with the Path ACL Depth field. REST and SOAP API analytics dashboards migrated to Platform Analytics experience The REST and SOAP API analytics dashboards have been migrated from Core UI to the Platform Analytics experience. Access the dashboards from All > System Web Services > Analytics Usage Overview. After upgrading, the Core UI dashboards are still available from All > System Web Services. Control access for HTTP headers in CORS requests Configure whether to allow credentials in requests with the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials field and which HTTP headers to allow in requests with the Access-Control-Allow-Headers field. Deactivate CORS rules Turn a CORS rule [sys_cors_rule] on or off with the Active field. Rhino update for the JavaScript engine on the platform Rhino was updated to improve the performance of the JavaScript engine on the platform. Web requests from integration users update the Last login and Last login time fields on user records By default, the Last login and Last login time fields in a user record [sys_user] are updated when an integration user sends a web request to an instance.

However, there are some limitations: Any new automation components available in the latest version aren’t available in the older versions. For example, the CreateFile component in the Zip category in version 10.0 doesn’t work in older versions. Components of the same name with different parameters aren’t backward compatible. If robot machines are using older MSIs than the current version of the instance, any new features that are added in the later versions aren’t available for older MSIs. For example, the features released after version 7.0.3 don’t work in version 7.0.3 MSIs. Only those features that exist in version 7.0.3 work in that version.

Create and convert commands include project-type parameter Specify the type of application to create or convert with the project-type parameter on the now-sdk create and now-sdk convert commands. This parameter determines the default application structure based on whether you want to use ServiceNow Fluent and JavaScript modules and third-party libraries in the application (fluent) or only use JavaScript modules and third-party libraries (module). Fetch command includes debug parameter Return debug logs generated during the fetch process by setting the debug parameter to true with the now-sdk fetch command. Deploy command includes reinstall parameter Uninstall and reinstall the application on the instance by setting the reinstall parameter to true with the now-sdk deploy command.
