It summarizes key feature additions, changes, removals, deprecations, activation details, and other relevant upgrade considerations across these releases. Show full answer Show less ## Key Changes and Features * **Transition to NOW Design System (NDS) Icons:** Starting in Yokohama, Table Builder replaced custom icons with standardized NOW Design System icons for a consistent UI experience. * **Enhanced Access and Navigation:** Table Builder can be launched directly from the App Navigator by searching for the app or using table-specific search syntax (e.g., `tablename.builder`). * **Role Assignment Best Practice:** At least one role with Read permissions should be assigned to each new table to ensure proper Access Control List (ACL) setup and prevent access issues during development. * **Read-Only Field Configuration (Australia Release):** Introduction of a new `Read Only Option` in dictionary tables (`sysdictionary` and `sysdictionaryoverride`). The legacy `readonly` field is now locked and not editable in the UI. Two options control behavior: * **Display Read Only:** Field appears read-only in the UI but can be updated via APIs. * **Strict Read Only:** Field cannot be changed via UI or client scripts. A system property (`glide.readonly.legacyreadonlybehavior`) lets you retain the old client script override behavior if needed. * **Form Designer Deprecation:** Starting with Zurich and continuing in Australia, Form Designer is being deprecated---hidden from activation but still supported. Its features are migrating to Form Builder. * **ServiceNow Otto® Branding:** The AI experience brand name changed to ServiceNow Otto®, reflected in product names without impacting entitlements. ## Activation and Availability * Table Builder is available without requiring App Engine Studio starting in Yokohama. * From Zurich onward, Table Builder is available via the ServiceNow Store. ## Additional Important Notes * **Browser Support:** Internet Explorer is not supported for Table Builder in any release family. * **No Removals or Deprecations Specific to Table Builder Features from Yokohama to Australia:** Apart from the Form Designer deprecation, no other Table Builder features were removed or deprecated. * **Localization, Accessibility, and Highlight Information:** No updates were introduced across the release families. ## Practical Implications for ServiceNow Customers When upgrading Table Builder to Australia, customers should focus on: * Adopting the new NDS icons and navigation improvements for a smoother user experience. * Ensuring proper role assignments during table creation to avoid ACL-related access problems. * Understanding and configuring the new read-only field behavior to maintain data integrity and control UI/client script interactions. * Preparing for the transition from Form Designer to Form Builder for form customization tasks. * Verifying browser compatibility and accessing Table Builder through the ServiceNow Store as per the latest activation requirements.
