    New features

    • Smart Assessments: Introduced in Yokohama, this feature leverages the Smart Assessment Engine to evaluate employee compliance with regulations. Compliance case administrators configure questionnaires, which are sent when action tasks move from Draft to Assigned. Compliance case managers then analyze non-compliance issues and implement remediation. This feature is enabled by default via the enablesmartassessments system property.
    • Unified Task-driven UI Experience: Business users gain a consolidated Tasks page within the Employee Center, providing a streamlined view and management of all assessments and related tasks in one place.

    Changes

    • Role Updates for Smart Assessment: Several roles—compliancecaseadmin, compliancecaseanalyst, compliancecasebusinessuser, and compliancecasemanager—were updated to support smart assessment capabilities.
    • Configurable Workspace Reflow Support: The Compliance Management configurable workspace now supports reflow, allowing up to 400% browser zoom without loss of content or functionality. This ensures better usability and readability across devices and user settings.

    Accessibility improvements

    • The configurable workspace was enhanced to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, including support for content zoom (up to 400%) with automatic page layout adjustments to vertical stacking.
    • These improvements aid users with low vision or other accessibility needs by preventing horizontal and vertical scrolling at high zoom levels.

    Activation and upgrade considerations

    • Compliance Case Management installation is done by requesting the app via the ServiceNow Store.
    • No additional browser requirements or localization changes were introduced between Yokohama and Zurich.
    • Pre- and post-upgrade tasks should be reviewed and completed as needed, though no specific updates were noted for Zurich.

    Smart assessments in Compliance Case Management
    Utilize the Smart Assessment Engine to assess if your employees are compliant with the necessary regulations. The compliance case administrator configures the questionnaire, and when an action task moves from the Draft to the Assigned state, the assessment is sent. After the assessment, the compliance case manager examines the nature of the non-compliance and its impact on the organization. Based on the findings, appropriate remediation measures are identified and implemented to resolution. To use the smart assessment, a new property called enable_smart_assessments (sn_grc_case_mgmt.enable_smart_assessments) is introduced with the default value as true.
    Unified Task-driven UI experience
    As a business user, use the Tasks page on the Employee Center for a consolidated view of all your tasks, enabling you to access and complete them efficiently. This page provides an easy way to manage all your assessments in one place, enabling you to view and perform tasks seamlessly.

    Accessibility improvements
    Accessibility improvements were completed to create a configurable workspace that supports WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance.
    Reflow
    The Configurable Workspace supports reflow, which enables pages and content to be zoomed up to 400% through your browser settings without loss of content or functionality. Additionally, content can be enlarged without scrolling in two dimensions at a width equivalent to 320 CSS pixels or a height equivalent to 256 CSS pixels. Page layouts are transformed into a vertical, stacked view automatically when users increase browser zoom to 400%. This enhancement helps users with low vision or who have trouble seeing web content in a browser due to monitor size, device type, poor lighting, or other situations. Reflow can be turned off with a system property for instances, experiences, and pages. See Reflow for Configurable Workspace for details.
