Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Partitions for Record Visibility Control:** The Australia release introduces partitions to separate and control record visibility across different functions such as IT Operations, HR, and Finance. This feature is managed through the EWD admin role (`snspmewd.ewdadmin`). * **Partition Configuration:** Partitions can be configured using reference fields like Department on primary tables including Project (`pmproject`), Demand (`dmndemand`), Program (`pmprogram`), and Portfolio (`pmportfolio`). * **Inheritance and Enforcement:** Related entities such as cost plans, resource plans, and planning items automatically inherit partition values from their parent records. Partition enforcement is applied automatically at runtime across key workspaces: Strategic Planning Workspace, Portfolio Planning Workspace, Project Workspace, and Resource Management Workspace. * **PMO Role for Enterprise-Wide Visibility:** The new EWD PMO role (`snspmewd.ewdpmo`) can be assigned to users or groups who require visibility across all partitions, such as PMO leads and portfolio managers. * **Data Migration Support:** A scheduled job is available to update existing records with partition details for data created prior to partition configuration. This job should be run after partition setup and user role assignments. ## Pre- and Post-Upgrade Tasks ServiceNow customers should carefully review and complete all pre- and post-upgrade tasks related to partition configuration and role assignments to ensure data integrity and appropriate access controls after upgrading. ## Activation and Installation SPM Enterprise-Wide Deployment for Australia is available for installation through the ServiceNow Store. Customers should request the app from the store and refer to the ServiceNow Store version history for cumulative release notes and additional information. ## Other Release Notes Sections * No updates, changes, removals, or deprecations were made between Zurich and Australia releases outside of the new partitioning feature. * No additional browser, localization, or accessibility changes were introduced in this upgrade. ## Key Outcomes * Enhanced ability to control and segregate data visibility across organizational functions using partitions. * Improved governance and security by enforcing partition visibility automatically across multiple planning and management workspaces. * Enterprise-wide visibility for designated PMO users, facilitating better oversight of projects and portfolios. * Seamless upgrade experience supported by tools to migrate existing data to the new partitioning model.
