Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **AI Control Tower Integration (Zurich):** Classify strategic priorities and goals as Artificial Intelligence types to monitor progress directly within the AI Control Tower workspace using new Type and Category fields. * **Enhanced Role Capabilities (Zurich):** The `sngf.goaladmin` role now allows editing any goal or target regardless of ownership or contribution status. * **Maintain-Type Targets (Brazil):** Introduces target types that require values to be maintained above, below, or constant over a period rather than trending toward a goal. Progress is calculated based on the percentage of periods meeting the target, applicable only to quantitative units. * **Tolerance Setting for Maintain Constant Targets (Brazil):** Administrators can define acceptable variance (default ±5%) around constant targets via a system property to determine if targets are met. * **Custom Number Prefixes (Brazil):** Customize goal and target numbering prefixes to align with organizational terminology (e.g., OBJ for objectives). A scheduled job updates existing records accordingly without altering numeric sequences. * **Target Type Editable After Actuals Recorded (Brazil):** Target Type can now be changed even after progress is recorded, with safeguards to clear actual values and confirm changes to prevent data inconsistency. * **Unit of Measure Synchronization (Brazil):** Selecting a target Type automatically sets or restores the appropriate unit of measure, ensuring consistency during creation and updates, including API and import operations. ## Key Changes * **UI Theme Update (Zurich):** Coral theme is now the default for new portals and mobile experiences, offering a refreshed, brand-neutral user interface with dark mode options. * **Active Goals Filtering (Zurich):** By default, only active goals (where the Active field is true) appear in Goal and Parent goal reference fields, streamlining selections. * **State and Status Fields (Australia):** Addition of a Cancelled option to Goal and Target State fields and a Status field on Strategic Priority to better track and manage lifecycle states. ## Activation and Installation Goal Framework must be installed by requesting it from the ServiceNow Store. This process is consistent across Zurich, Australia, and Brazil releases. Customers should visit the ServiceNow Store to view available applications and learn how to submit installation requests. No changes to additional or browser requirements, accessibility, or localization have been introduced in this upgrade cycle. ## Practical Implications for ServiceNow Customers * Prepare for upgrades by reviewing pre- and post-upgrade tasks detailed in the release notes. * Leverage new Maintain-type targets for more nuanced tracking of goals that require consistent performance rather than directional progress. * Utilize role enhancements to empower administrators with greater editing capabilities across goals and targets. * Adopt custom numbering prefixes to align Goal Framework data with organizational terminology, improving clarity in goal and target identification. * Benefit from UI improvements and filtering enhancements that streamline goal management and navigation. * Ensure proper activation by following the standardized installation process through the ServiceNow Store.

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__18} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | 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__26} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | 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__34} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | 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__42} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Zurich | Activation information : Install Goal Framework by requesting it from the ServiceNow Store.
