It helps you prepare for the upgrade by summarizing relevant updates, configuration guidance, and activation information for the Goal Framework application. Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **Maintain-type Targets:** Brazil introduces three new target types---Maintain above, Maintain below, and Maintain constant---that track values that must be held steady throughout a period rather than progressing toward a goal. Progress is measured as the percentage of breakdown periods where the target was met. These types apply only to quantitative units of measure and omit the Target value distribution field. * **Tolerance for Maintain Constant Targets:** You can configure how much the actual value can deviate from the target value while still counting as met. The default tolerance is ±5%, adjustable by system property `sngf.maintainconstanttolerancepercent`. * **Customizable Goal and Target Number Prefixes:** Administrators can change the prefixes for goal and target numbers to align with organizational terminology (e.g., OBJ for objectives, KR for key results). A scheduled job updates existing records to adopt the new prefixes while preserving numeric sequences, facilitating consistent identification. ## Changes * **Goal and Target Forms:** A new "Cancelled" state option has been added to the State field, allowing you to mark goals or targets as cancelled. * **Strategic Priority Form:** A Status field has been introduced with options None, Green, Yellow, and Red to track the current status of strategic priorities. * **Editable Target Type After Actuals Recorded:** Brazil allows changing a target's Type even after actual values exist. Changing the Type prompts confirmation and resets actual value and percent complete, except for changes within Maintain types or to/from Milestone. * **Synchronization of Type and Unit of Measure:** Selecting a target Type automatically sets an appropriate unit of measure to maintain consistency (e.g., Milestone sets Yes/No units, Maintain types set quantitative units). This behavior applies to manual edits, imports, and API updates. ## Removed and Deprecated Features There were no removals or deprecations of Goal Framework features between Australia and Brazil releases. ## Activation and Installation Goal Framework must be installed by requesting it from the ServiceNow Store in both Australia and Brazil releases. Customers should follow standard procedures to request and activate the application through the ServiceNow Store interface. ## Additional Notes * No changes were reported for additional requirements, browser requirements, accessibility, or localization between Australia and Brazil releases. * Enhanced forms for Goal, Target, and Strategic Priority continue to support comprehensive management and tracking of organizational goals, with new capabilities in Brazil to create strategic plans, link work items to goals, and support Enterprise PMO governance. ## Practical Impact for ServiceNow Customers Upgrading to Brazil enables you to track goal targets that must be maintained consistently, customize goal numbering for organizational clarity, and have greater flexibility in managing target types after progress has begun. The improved status tracking and cancellation options provide more precise control over goal management. These enhancements support better alignment of strategic goals with execution and reporting, enhancing visibility and governance for portfolio and EPMO managers.

For example, if a product did not have any updates in Tokyo, the row says "No updates for this release." ## Important information for upgrading Goal Framework to Brazil Before you upgrade to Brazil, review these pre- and post-upgrade tasks and complete the tasks as needed. {#dfrn3-goalframework-summary__entry__2} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## New features Between your current release family and Brazil, new features were introduced for Goal Framework. {#dfrn3-goalframework-summary__entry__8} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | [Maintain-type targets](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=target-types-gf&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Track targets that must hold a value for the whole period instead of growing or shrinking toward it. The Type field on a target has three new options: Maintain above, Maintain below, and Maintain constant. For these types, target progress is the percentage of breakdown periods with actuals where the target was met. For example, if a Maintain above target is met in three of four quarters, its progress is 75%. Maintain types are available only with quantitative units of measure. The Target value distribution field isn't shown for them. [Tolerance for Maintain constant targets](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-maintain-constant-tolerance&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Set how far a Maintain constant target's actual value can move from the final target and still count as met. By default, an actual value within 5% of the final target, above or below, counts as met. Administrators can change the tolerance with the sn_gf.maintain_constant_tolerance_percent system property. [Unique numbers and prefixes for goals and targets](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=change-number-prefix-goals-targets&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Match goal and target numbers to your organization's terminology, for example, OBJ and KR if you use objectives and key results. After an administrator changes the prefix in the number configuration, run the GF - Override Goal and Target Number fields with customized prefixes scheduled job to update existing records. The job keeps the numeric part of each number, so GOAL0004512 becomes OBJ0004512. It also skips records that already have the new prefix. | [ ] ## Changes Between your current release family and Brazil, some changes were made to existing Goal Framework features. {#dfrn3-goalframework-summary__entry__14} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Australia | [Changes to Goal and Target forms](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=goal-form&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : The Cancelled option has been added to the State field in both the [Goal](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=goal-form&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) and [Target](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=target-form&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) forms, enabling you to set their status to Cancelled when needed. [Changes to Strategic Priority form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=strategic-priority-form&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : The Status field has been added to the Strategic Priority form, enabling you to set the status of a strategic priority as None, Green, Yellow, or Red. | | Brazil | [Target type editable when actuals exist](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=change-target-type-gf&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : You can change a target's Type after actual values have been recorded. Previously, the Type field became read-only once a target had progress. A confirmation message appears before the change is applied, and if you cancel, the Type goes back to its original value. Changing the Type clears the target's actual value and percent complete. The exceptions are changes between two Maintain types and changes to or from Milestone. [Type and unit of measure stay in sync](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=target-types-gf&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Choosing a target Type sets a matching unit of measure: * Milestone: Sets the unit of measure to Yes/No, or keeps a custom qualitative unit if one is already selected. * Maximize, Minimize, or a Maintain type: Restores the last quantitative unit you used, or sets Count (#) if there isn't one. The Type list always shows all six types. The same pairing also applies to targets created or updated through imports or APIs. | [ ] ## Removed Between your current release family and Brazil, some Goal Framework features or functionality were removed. {#dfrn3-goalframework-summary__entry__20} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Deprecations Between your current release family and Brazil, some Goal Framework features or functionality were deprecated. {#dfrn3-goalframework-summary__entry__26} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Activation information Review information on how to activate Goal Framework. {#dfrn3-goalframework-summary__entry__32} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Australia | Activation information : Install Goal Framework by requesting it from the ServiceNow Store.
