It serves as a practical guide for preparing and executing the upgrade while highlighting important enhancements and configuration details. Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **Status Rollup for Goals and Targets:** Automatic status aggregation (Green, Yellow, Red, None) now rolls up from target breakdowns to targets (for cumulative distribution targets) and from targets and subgoals to overall goals, improving visibility into progress. * **Multi-Level Target Definition:** Targets can now be defined across multiple organizational levels using the new *Assigned entity type* and *Assigned entity* fields on the Target form. This eliminates the need for redundant subgoal creation by allowing targets assigned at higher organizational levels (e.g., Company) to be directly assigned to lower levels (e.g., Business Unit, Department), streamlining goal management. ## Changes * **Goal System Properties Management:** Users with the *sngfgoaladmin* role can update goal-specific system properties such as the weekly check-in day mapping to months, enabling tailored weekly target breakdowns. * **Target Form Enhancements:** The addition of the Assigned entity type and Assigned entity fields in Australia supports the new multi-level target assignment capability. ## Activation Information The Goal Framework for SPM must be installed by requesting it from the ServiceNow Store. Customers can view available apps and submit installation requests via the ServiceNow Store website. This process applies for Zurich and Australia releases as well. ## Additional Considerations * **No removals or deprecations:** No features were removed or deprecated between Yokohama and Australia releases. * **No changes to browser requirements, accessibility, localization, or other requirements:** There were no updates noted across these areas for this upgrade path. ## Practical Implications for ServiceNow Customers When upgrading to Australia, customers can expect enhanced goal visibility through automatic status rollups and more flexible target management across organizational levels. Assigning targets at multiple levels reduces administrative overhead and improves alignment. Administrators with the appropriate role should review and configure goal system properties to align with organizational reporting cycles. Activation requires requesting the application via the ServiceNow Store. No deprecated or removed features necessitate changes to existing configurations, simplifying the upgrade process.
