It provides a comprehensive summary of new features, changes, removals, deprecations, activation guidance, requirements, and other relevant information to prepare customers for a smooth upgrade experience. Show full answer Show less ## Key Changes * **Accessing Table Builder (Zurich):** Users can directly access tables by entering `tablename.builder`, `tablename.view`, `tablename.sheet`, or `tablename.flow` in the search input. * **Field Configuration (Australia):** A new **Read Only Option** has been introduced in dictionary tables (`sysdictionary` and `sysdictionaryoverride`). This new choice field, `readonlyoption`, offers two settings: * **Display Read Only:** Field appears read-only in the UI but can still be updated via APIs. * **Strict Read Only:** Field cannot be modified in the UI or by client scripts (e.g., `gform.setValue()`). The existing `readonly` field is locked and no longer editable in the UI. A system property `glide.readonly.legacyreadonlybehavior` controls whether legacy behavior---allowing client scripts to override read-only settings---is retained. ## New Features No new features were introduced for Table Builder between Zurich and Australia releases. ## Removals and Deprecations No features or functionality were removed or deprecated in Table Builder between Zurich and Australia. ## Activation Information Table Builder remains available via the ServiceNow Store in both Zurich and Australia releases. Customers should review activation instructions to ensure proper enablement. ## Additional and Browser Requirements No new additional requirements were introduced. Internet Explorer is not supported for Table Builder in both Zurich and Australia releases. ## Accessibility, Localization, and Highlights No updates were made regarding accessibility, localization, or specific highlight considerations for Table Builder during this upgrade path. ## Important Brand and Product Notes * The AI experience brand "ServiceNow Otto®" was introduced, reflecting changes in product naming. Product entitlements for customers remain unchanged. * **Form Designer Deprecation:** Starting with Zurich and continuing in Australia, Form Designer is being prepared for future deprecation. It is hidden and no longer available for activation but is still supported. Its features are now incorporated into Form Builder. ## What This Means for ServiceNow Customers When upgrading Table Builder from Zurich to Australia, expect improved control over read-only field behavior with clearer options and stricter enforcement in the UI and client scripts. The deprecation of Form Designer means customers should plan to transition to Form Builder for form configuration tasks. Activation steps remain consistent, and browser compatibility excludes Internet Explorer. The upgrade preserves existing product entitlements and introduces no removals or new features beyond the read-only enhancements.
