Show full answer Show less ## Key Features and Changes * **Transition to NOW Design System (NDS) icons:** Starting in Yokohama, Table Builder UI icons changed from custom icons to the standardized NOW Design System for consistency and user experience improvements. * **Direct Access Improvements:** Beginning in Yokohama, users can launch Table Builder by searching in the App Navigator. In Zurich, direct table access is possible via search inputs like `tablename.builder`, `tablename.view`, `tablename.sheet`, or `tablename.flow`. * **Access Control Enhancements:** From Yokohama onwards, it is important to assign at least one role with Read permissions to each table during creation. This ensures proper ACL setup and prevents developer access issues. * **Field Configuration Enhancements in Australia:** A new **Read Only Option** was added to `sysdictionary` and `sysdictionaryoverride` tables. The previous `readonly` field is now locked and not editable via UI. The new option supports: * **Display Read Only:** Field appears read-only but can be updated through APIs. * **Strict Read Only:** Field cannot be changed via UI or client scripts (e.g., `gform.setValue()`). * A system property, `glide.readonly.legacyreadonlybehavior`, allows toggling between old and new read-only behaviors for client scripts. ## Removals and Deprecations No Table Builder features or functionalities were removed or deprecated between Xanadu and Australia releases. However, beginning with Zurich and continuing in Australia, **Form Designer** is being prepared for future deprecation: it will be hidden and no longer available for activation but remains supported. Its features are migrating to the Form Builder. ## Activation and Availability * Table Builder is available in the **ServiceNow Store** starting from Zurich and Australia releases. * In Yokohama, Table Builder is available without requiring App Engine Studio. ## Additional Considerations * **Browser Support:** Internet Explorer is not supported for Table Builder starting from Yokohama and continuing through Australia. * **Branding:** From Zurich release onwards, ServiceNow products reflect the new AI experience brand name **ServiceNow Otto®**. Product entitlements remain unchanged. ## Practical Impact for ServiceNow Customers When upgrading Table Builder to Australia, customers should: * Review and complete pre- and post-upgrade tasks to ensure smooth transition. * Adapt to UI changes such as new NDS icons and improved app launching via search. * Ensure proper role assignments on tables to avoid developer access issues. * Manage field read-only settings using the new choice field options and understand the implications for client scripts and API updates. * Prepare for the eventual transition from Form Designer to Form Builder for table form configurations. * Use supported browsers and be aware of branding changes that do not affect entitlements.
