Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Partitions for Record Visibility:** The Australia release introduces partitioning capabilities that allow you to separate and control record visibility across different functional areas such as IT Operations, HR, and Finance. This is managed using the EWD admin role (`snspmewd.ewdadmin`). * **Partition Configuration:** You can configure partition criteria using reference fields like Department on primary tables including Project, Demand, Program, and Portfolio. Related entities (cost plans, resource plans, planning items) inherit partition values from their parent records automatically. * **Automatic Partition Enforcement:** Partition visibility enforcement is applied in real-time across key workspaces including Strategic Planning Workspace, Portfolio Planning Workspace, Project Workspace, and Resource Management Workspace. * **Enterprise-Wide Visibility for PMO:** Assigning the EWD PMO role (`snspmewd.ewdpmo`) to users or groups grants them visibility across all partitions, supporting PMO leads and organization-wide portfolio managers who require full access. * **Data Migration Support:** A scheduled job is available to update existing records with partition details for data created before partition setup. This ensures consistency post-upgrade and should be run after partitions and roles are configured. ## Activation and Upgrade Considerations * SPM Enterprise-Wide Deployment Australia release is available via the ServiceNow Store. Customers must request installation from the store to activate the application. * Before upgrading, review and complete all pre- and post-upgrade tasks related to partition configuration and role assignments to ensure smooth transition. * No deprecated or removed features were noted between Zurich and Australia, minimizing disruption during upgrade. * No changes or new requirements were introduced regarding browser compatibility, accessibility, localization, or additional prerequisites. ## Key Outcomes * Improved data security and functional separation through partitioning, enabling controlled access to project, demand, program, portfolio, and associated planning data. * Streamlined visibility management, allowing PMO users to oversee enterprise-wide portfolios without manual adjustments. * Automated enforcement of partition rules within core SPM workspaces, reducing administrative overhead and risk of unauthorized data exposure. * Enhanced upgrade experience facilitated by a clear, consolidated release notes guide and support for migrating existing data to the new partitioning model.
