Show full answer Show less ## Important Upgrade Information * Pre- and post-upgrade tasks should be reviewed and completed as necessary before upgrading to Brazil. * No updates were noted for Yokohama, Zurich, Australia, or Brazil releases themselves, but features introduced in intermediate releases are documented. ## New Features Introduced * **Zurich Release:** * Goal Framework and AI Control Tower integration enables categorization of strategic priorities and goals as Artificial Intelligence to track progress within the AI Control Tower workspace via Type and Category fields. * Role enhancement allows users with the `sngf.goaladmin` role to edit any goal or target regardless of ownership or contribution. * **Brazil Release:** * **Maintain-type Targets:** New target types---Maintain above, Maintain below, Maintain constant---allow tracking targets that must hold values throughout a period rather than trending toward a goal. Progress is measured by the percentage of periods where targets are met. * **Tolerance Setting:** Administrators can configure tolerance for Maintain constant targets to define acceptable deviation ranges from final target values, defaulting to ±5%. * **Custom Prefixes for Goal and Target Numbers:** Administrators can align numbering prefixes (e.g., OBJ, KR) with organizational terminology and update existing records via a scheduled job, preserving numeric identifiers. ## Changes to Existing Features * **Zurich:** * Coral theme introduced as default for new portals, web, and mobile experiences, offering a fresh, brand-neutral look with optional dark mode. * Only active goals (Active field = true) appear by default in goal reference fields to streamline selections. * **Australia:** * State field on Goal and Target forms now includes a Cancelled option for better lifecycle management. * Status field added to Strategic Priority form, supporting status values of None, Green, Yellow, or Red for enhanced priority tracking. * **Brazil:** * Target Type field is now editable even after actual values exist, with safeguards to confirm changes and clear progress where appropriate. * Automatic synchronization between target Type and unit of measure ensures consistency, including support for Milestone and Maintain type target units. ## Removed and Deprecated Features No Goal Framework features or functionalities were removed or deprecated between Yokohama and Brazil. ## Activation and Installation Goal Framework remains available via the ServiceNow Store and must be requested for installation. Customers can review cumulative release notes and store information for all versions directly in the ServiceNow Store. ## Additional Considerations * No new browser requirements, accessibility notes, localization changes, or additional requirements were introduced between Yokohama and Brazil. * Highlight information includes the ability to categorize AI-related strategic priorities and goals for monitoring in the AI Control Tower, visibility limited to active goals in reference fields, and enhanced form capabilities for managing goals, targets, and strategic priorities. ## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers * Enhanced goal tracking with AI integration improves strategic oversight and progress monitoring. * Maintain-type targets allow more precise management of stable-value goals, supporting complex business scenarios. * Customizable numbering aligns Goal Framework with organizational terminology, improving clarity and reporting consistency. * Usability improvements, such as editable target types post-actuals and improved status fields, provide greater flexibility in goal management. * New default themes and active goal filtering streamline user experience and data relevance across portals and mobile devices.

Use the Type field for strategic priorities and the Category field for goals to classify them as Artificial Intelligence and monitor their progress in the AI Control Tower workspace. [Role enhancements](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=components-installed-with-goal-framework&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : With the sn_gf.goal_admin role, you can edit any goal and target as needed, even when you aren't the owner or contributor of a goal or target. | | 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__22} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | Coral theme : Coral is now the default theme for new portal, web, and mobile experiences with Next Experience or Core UI enabled. This theme provides a fresh look and feel, featuring brand-neutral illustrations to enhance your user experience. A dark theme option is available for web and mobile experiences. [Active goals](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=defining-goals-using-goal-framework&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : By default, only active goals---those goals with the Active field set to true---are displayed in the Goal and Parent goal reference fields across all applicable tables. | | 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__32} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | 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__42} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | 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__52} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | Activation information : Install Goal Framework by requesting it from the ServiceNow Store.
