It provides a comprehensive view of new features, changes, activation instructions, and other relevant upgrade considerations. The primary update in this release is the introduction of partitioning to enhance record visibility control across different business functions. Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **Partitions:** Enables separation and control of record visibility across functions such as IT Operations, HR, and Finance. Customers can create partitions using the EWD admin role (snspmewd.ewdadmin) and configure partition criteria based on reference fields like Department on core SPM tables: Project, Demand, Program, and Portfolio. * **Supported Tables and Workspaces:** Partitioning supports primary tables including project \[pmproject\], demand \[dmndemand\], program \[pmprogram\], and portfolio \[pmportfolio\]. Related entities like cost plans and resource plans inherit partition values automatically. Partition enforcement applies at runtime in key workspaces: * Strategic Planning Workspace * Portfolio Planning Workspace * Project Workspace * Resource Management Workspace * **EWD PMO Role:** Assign the EWD PMO role (snspmewd.ewdpmo) to users or groups who require enterprise-wide visibility across all partitions, typically PMO leads or portfolio managers. This ensures cross-functional oversight regardless of partition-specific roles. * **Scheduled Job for Existing Records:** A scheduled job is provided to populate partition details on existing records created before partition configuration. It should be run after completing partition setup and role assignments to ensure consistent visibility enforcement. ## Changes, Removals, and Deprecations There are no changes, removed features, or deprecated functionality reported between Yokohama and Australia releases for SPM Enterprise-Wide Deployment. ## Activation Information To activate SPM Enterprise-Wide Deployment for Australia, customers must request installation via the ServiceNow Store. The app is available there along with cumulative release notes and version history.
