It details new features, important upgrade tasks, activation information, and enhancements designed to improve task authoring, execution, governance, and reporting within Industrial Connected Workforce (ICW) environments. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features Introduced in Australia * **Reports on Question Results:** Users with the `snicw.reportuser` role can now analyze inspection results question by question using a new `snicwigtresults` database view. This view integrates task responses with functional location, equipment, standards, and shifts, enabling detailed filtering and grouping. * **Question Bank:** The new Industrial Guided Task Manager role (`snicwigt.manager`) allows creation and publication of reusable assessment questions across standards from the Assessment Workspace, ensuring consistency without recreating questions. Each question added to standards becomes an independent copy for flexibility. * **Authoring Guided Tasks:** Enhanced authoring interface supports structured workflows with sections, steps, assessments, and conditional paths. Built-in rules enforce workflow consistency, step sequencing, naming conventions, and safety requirements. Authors can preview the end-user experience prior to publishing. * **Assessment-Driven Scoring and Execution:** Supports multiple assessment types (numeric inputs, selections, measurements, conditional evaluations) with automatic scoring that determines task outcomes (Successful, Unsuccessful, Not Scored). Captured data enhances reporting, quality control, and continuous improvement. * **Automation and Smart Actions:** Enables configuration of automation and complex logic to trigger follow-up work, standard tasks, or actions based on assessment results, creating dynamic and adaptive execution flows. This reduces manual intervention and ensures consistent responses. Note: Additional plugins may be required to enable this functionality. * **Easy Accessibility and Execution:** Intuitive step-by-step task interface supports images, instructions, validations, and attachments. Integrated barcode and QR scanning enhance part/equipment identification during task execution. Offline access via the ICW mobile app ensures uninterrupted work in low-connectivity industrial environments. * **IGT Lifecycle Governance:** Task lifecycle states provide clearer governance and audit trails. Review and approval workflows help maintain operational standards before task release. Historical versions are archived for audits and root cause analyses. * **Standards Creation Using Templates:** Accelerate task creation by duplicating or reusing existing tasks as templates. Reusable structural components maintain consistency and reduce authoring time across workflows. ## Upgrade and Activation Information * **Upgrade Tasks:** There are no specific pre- or post-upgrade changes or tasks noted for releases between Xanadu and Australia for Industrial Guided Tasks. * **Activation:** Industrial Guided Tasks is included automatically with the Industrial Connected Workforce Mobile Experience as part of the ICW Foundational SKU. Customers can request ICW Mobile through the ServiceNow Store. ## Additional Notes * No features were removed or deprecated between Xanadu and Australia releases for Industrial Guided Tasks. * There are no changes to browser requirements, accessibility, or localization information for this upgrade. * Highlights emphasize improved design speed, accurate task outcome evaluations, frontline usability improvements, and enhanced lifecycle governance integrated across the ICW suite. ## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers With these enhancements, customers can expect to: * Streamline and standardize task authoring with reusable questions and templates. * Gain richer insights into inspection results for better quality and compliance reporting. * Automate follow-up actions and adapt workflows dynamically to operator inputs and conditions. * Improve frontline worker productivity through integrated scanning and offline capabilities. * Maintain better governance of guided task lifecycles with audit-ready workflows and version archiving. This release supports operational efficiency, compliance, and continuous improvement within Industrial Connected Workforce environments.
