It highlights new features, changes, activation steps, and key upgrade considerations relevant to this transition. Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **Status Rollup:** Goal and target statuses (Green, Yellow, Red, or None) now automatically roll up from target breakdowns to targets (for cumulative distribution targets) and from targets and subgoals to the goal level. This enhancement improves visibility and tracking of goal progress. * **Multi-level Target Assignment:** Targets can now be defined and assigned across multiple organizational levels using the new *Assigned entity type* and *Assigned entity* fields on the target form. This feature streamlines goal management by allowing higher-level targets (e.g., Company) to be directly assigned to lower levels (e.g., Business Unit, Department), reducing redundant subgoal creation. ## Changes * **Goal System Properties:** Administrators with the `sngfgoaladmin` role can now update goal-specific system properties such as: * The day of the week used for mapping weekly target breakdowns to months (default is Friday). * Enabling activity streams on target fields. * Setting decimal precision for target breakdown values (default is 2 decimal places). * **Target Form Enhancements:** The addition of *Assigned entity type* and *Assigned entity* fields supports the new multi-level target assignment functionality. ## Removal and Deprecation No features or functionality were removed or deprecated between Zurich and Australia releases. ## Activation Information Goal Framework for SPM must be installed by requesting it from the **ServiceNow Store**. Customers should visit the ServiceNow Store to view available apps and submit installation requests. This process applies consistently across both Zurich and Australia releases. ## Additional Considerations * **Upgrade Tasks:** Customers should review and complete any pre- and post-upgrade tasks relevant to their environment before upgrading to Australia. * **Browser, Accessibility, and Localization:** There are no changes or specific requirements introduced for browsers, accessibility compliance, or localization between these releases. * **Role Requirement:** The `sngfgoaladmin` role is necessary to update goal system properties and manage the enhanced features effectively. ## What Customers Can Expect Upgrading to Australia enhances goal management by automating status rollups and enabling more flexible target assignments across organizational levels. These improvements reduce administrative overhead and provide clearer insight into goal progress. Activation remains straightforward via the ServiceNow Store, with no removals or deprecations impacting existing workflows.
