    Summary of Data Product release notes

    The ServiceNow Data Product application enables customers to create, manage, and govern reusable data products and stable data interfaces that unify data across multiple sources. It supports discovering, accessing, and acting on trusted data without replication, improving data reuse and governance within the ServiceNow ecosystem.

    Key Features

    • Data Interfaces: Define durable, schema-based interfaces with support for multi-source composition (unions, joins) to provide consistent, governed data access layers for analytics, workflows, and AI.
    • Data Products: Create business-aligned, reusable data entities built on Data Interfaces, with clear ownership, lifecycle management, and metadata governance.
    • Catalog-First Authoring: Discover and onboard data assets via the Data Catalog, enabling direct creation of Data Interfaces and Products from catalog assets to reduce duplication.
    • Governance and Access Control: Integrate with ServiceNow ACL and role-based controls, enabling controlled, request-based data access through catalog workflows.
    • Zero-Copy Data Access: Access external data sources (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, native ServiceNow data) in place using federated queries and pushdown execution for near-real-time performance without data replication.
    • Data Interface Editing: From version 1.1.1, customers can fully edit published Data Interfaces (such as updating labels, source tables, combination methods, and target columns) without recreating interfaces, while preserving interface names and target field names for downstream stability.

    Installation and Licensing

    • Requires Australia Patch 1 or higher instances.
    • Depends on Zero Copy Connector Hub, Zero Copy Connectors, and ServiceNow Data Catalog applications, which are installed automatically.
    • Free for sub-production and development use; production use requires Workflow Data Fabric Foundation or Advanced SKUs.
    • AI Search activation is required in subproduction environments.

    Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

    • Enable creation of governed, reusable data products that unify data from multiple internal and external sources.
    • Improve data discoverability and reduce duplication through catalog-driven workflows.
    • Maintain stable data contracts for consumers while allowing iterative improvements to data interfaces.
    • Leverage zero-copy federated queries to access external data efficiently without data movement.
    • Enforce governance and controlled access seamlessly within the ServiceNow platform.

    Version history

    Version 1.1.1 - June 2026
    • Data Interface editing is now available: Added full edit capabilities for published Data Interfaces, enabling modifications without recreating the interface.
    • Supported changes include:
        • Updating interface labels
        • Adding or removing source tables
        • Changing combination methods (single table, JOIN, or UNION)
        • Updating target field types and labels for existing columns
        • Adding new target columnsInterface names and existing target field names remain immutable to preserve stable contracts for downstream consumers. The Review Changes modal displays pending edits before save, with transactional application ensuring the interface returns to its last published state if any step fails.
    Version 1.0.9 - May 2026
    • This release introduces the first GA version of Workflow Data Fabric Data Products and Data Interfaces, enabling the following core capabilities:
      • Dependencies, Installation, and Licensing
      • Dependencies: Requires Zero Copy Connector Hub, Zero Copy Connectors, and ServiceNow Data Catalog store applications. These apps will automatically get installed as a result of installing Data Product app.
      • Installation: Supported on instances running Australia Patch 1 or higher
      • Licensing: Free to use in sub-production and development instances. Requires Workflow Data Fabric (WDF) Foundation or Advanced SKUs for production use
      • Pre-requisite: For subproduction environments, please ensure AI Search is activated by following the instructions
