    AI Search
    Now Assist Multi-Content Response Genius Results
    If you have Now Assist in AI Search installed, Now Assist Multi-Content Response Genius Results are supported in global and workspace search. Activating Now Assist Multi-Content Response Genius Results in global or workspace search profiles overrides all other Genius Result configurations, so that global and workspace searches only display Genius Result answers from Now Assist Multi-Content Response Genius Results. Virtual Agent topic citations from Now Assist Multi-Content Response Genius Result answers in global or workspace search open the selected topic in the Now Assist panel so the user can continue their conversation on that topic.
    Search Suggestions
    Search administrators with the ais_admin granular admin role can access all Search Suggestions tables. Assign search administrators this role to eliminate needless propagation of full admin access.
    Gain insights into search behavior with a refreshed and updated Search Preview UI.
    Preview search query results using settings from a search application configuration or a search profile. Choose between keyword and hybrid search modes. Display search results as individual EVAM cards or as a JSON-format search query response object, with search and syntax highlighting. Review search query behavior and results and specify search query settings with the new Summary, Genius Results, Details, and Profile admin tools.

    • setValue()

    For more information, see Configuring read-only security options.

    표 2. Changed REST APIs in Australia
    API Endpoints
    Party Management Open API Previously, all GET endpoints didn't return results for Account records as expected due to a hardcoded flag. As a fix, users are now required to install the plugin Customer Service Base Entities (com.snc.cs_base), which adds the Active field to Customer [customer_account] and Core Company [core_company] tables.
    Access Management
    Early Availability
    Query ACLs
    Query ACLs now load automatically during plugin installation for most platform plugins. These preconfigured ACLs reduce the need to run the QueryRangeACLAuditor tool to generate query ACLs. Store app query ACLs aren't included in preconfigured query ACLs. For more information about preconfigured query ACLs, see the Maintenance Information [KB2046494] article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.
    Existing custom query ACLs are preserved and loaded as inactive. To view inactive ACLs, use this command: <INSTANCE_URL>/sys_security_acl_list.do?[query_parameters]
    QueryRangeACLAuditor tool modifications are preserved.
    ACL rule types
    Core field and datatype ACLs are replaced with more comprehensive rules to optimize ACL volume.
    Access Analyzer
    Use ServiceNow® Access Analyzer v6.1, a tool designed for AI administrators or creators to validate the access controls configured within agentic assets (agentic workflows and AI agents) on the ServiceNow AI Platform.
    중요사항:
    Access Analyzer is available in the ServiceNow Store. For more information, visit ServiceNow Store.
    Accounts Payable Operations
    Configure Document Intelligence using Now Assist for Accounts Payable Operations (APO)
    The Document classification skill auto-classifies supplier email attachments as invoice, credit memo, or supporting documents with an AI-recommended confidence score. After the classification, separate invoice processing cases are created for invoices and credit memo with supporting documents linked to both the cases. The playbook allows you to configure the confidence threshold for auto-approval or involve AP specialists to manually review them.
    Agent experience for CSM
    Editable record headers
    Enables agents to edit the short description of a record directly from the header field. This feature is available on the following record pages:
    • Front-line case page
    • CSM Interaction record page
    • CSM default record page
    Collaborate component in CSM Configurable Workspace
    Use the Collaborate component in the contextual side panel in CSM Configurable Workspace to communicate and collaborate with stakeholders in real time to resolve cases.
    SLA component on the Front-line case page
    Use the Service Level Agreement (SLA) component in the contextual side panel on the Front-line case page to view SLAs. The SLA cards appear in the Record Information tab below the record information card.
    Email Interaction record page enhancements
    Minimize drafts to a dock at the bottom of the workspace page in the inline modeless composer. View activities in the activity feed at the top of the page in reverse order, with the newest entries displayed at the bottom.

    Enable agents to look up contacts and consumers by name, phone number, or email address and link them to a record.
    Create actions on the Front-line case page
    Create different types of records by using the Create button on the Front-line case page. Selecting an action from the Create button, such as creating an incident or a knowledge gap, opens the form in a modeless dialogue.
    View attachments in modeless dialogs
    Enable agents to access and review attachments in modeless dialogs instead of workspace tabs. Agents can easily view attachments while also viewing case information and drafts of emails, comments, or work notes.
    Auto-dismiss alerts in CSM Configurable Workspace
    Reduce visual clutter through auto-dismissible alerts, which are enabled by default for Info, Low, and Moderate alerts, with a default timer of five seconds. Critical and High alerts remain persistent to ensure important notifications stay visible.
    Maximum number of active tabs in CSM Configurable Workspace
    Agents can open up to 20 active tabs (previously 10) in CSM Configurable Workspace to handle multiple tasks simultaneously without losing context.
    Open multiple lists in separate primary tabs
    Agents can now open multiple lists in different CSM Configurable Workspace primary tabs, enabling seamless context switching between lists without losing their current workspace view.
    Granular admin roles
    Enhance security, reduce over-privileged accounts, and enable flexible, task-focused permission management by assigning granular, feature-specific roles to replace broad admin access.
    Agentic Desktop
    Authentication
    OAuth enhancements
    Following are the OAuth enhancements:
    • Use Opaque or JWT token option for your inbound integration endpoints.
    • Use the Allow access only to APIs in selected scope option to enable access to the APIs that are explicitly listed in the selected scopes for your inbound integrations.
    • Use the OAuth Entity Resource tab for outbound integrations to configure resource parameters so they flow into the OAuth token request and are reflected in the token from your OAuth provider.
    Case management for CSM
    Major Issue Management
    Case Type consistency improvements: This update ensures case type consistency when creating and managing major cases and their related child cases, improving accuracy and reducing manual correction.
    • Create major cases automatically upon approval, and major cases now inherit the same case type as the originating case.
    • Promote the proposed case directly to a major case I-if no account or consumer or partner exists on the originating major case.
    • Use the major case's case type and inherit the fields defined in (sn_customerservice.case_fields_to_sync) property or defined through extension point for child cases.
    Task plan templates
    Add flexible task dependency management to task plan templates, and support for attachments.
    • Schedule offsets can be defined when creating dependencies, allowing tasks to start within a specified time period (minutes, hours, days, or weeks).
    • Configure and manage task dependencies directly from task dependency list and view layouts.
    • Built‑in validations prevent circular dependencies, ensuring task plans remain accurate and reliable.
    • Ability to attach documents to tasks or cases.
    • Select Apply Template for any published task plan templates to automatically add all document references from the original template items to the newly created tasks, ensuring seamless access for task owners to all required documents.
    Clone Admin Console
    Updated clone menu navigation items
    All clone-related functions are now available under the Clone Admin Console menu navigation item.
    Submit a new clone even if another clone is scheduled
    Create an additional clone request even if there’s already a future clone for that target. This feature helps with the limitation where you can't submit another clone until all existing requests have been canceled.
    Clone summary
    Help prevent clone conflicts with the Clone summary, which highlights clones that are scheduled in the next 30 days that involve the same target instance.
    Cloud Cost Management 10.0
    Granular instance operator role
    Use the instance operator role to perform routine operational tasks without requiring the full admin role for basic operations. By using limited privileges in the instance operator role, you can help reduce security risks across your organization.
    Code Signing
    Guardrail process optimization and scope increase
    Allows you to run the guardrail scan and identify records that have missing signatures, enabling you to proactively address records that are eligible for code signing but remain unsigned. Previously, the system only checked records with existing signatures and marked them as valid or invalid, which meant records without signatures were overlooked. Now, the process starts from the signature configuration itself, every eligible record is checked to see if it has a signature. If a record is missing a signature, it's clearly identified.

    Performance Analytics
    Explore native data snapshots indicators with KPI Details
    KPI Details supports data snapshots indicators that you create, not only those that are enabled from classic indicators. The following features have been created for or extended to native data snapshots indicators:
    • Subscriptions for alerts on targets and thresholds, which can be set from the targets and thresholds panels
    • Adjustable filtering by breakdown, calendar, or time series aggregation
    • Hierarchical breakdowns, with scores rolled up to parent elements
    • Customizable score formatting options, such as precision and abbreviation
    View data trends in data snapshots as data accumulates
    When you select a field by which to trend a data snapshots automated indicator, you have the option to show the trend for incomplete collection periods. This feature shows the trend as it develops for live data without having to wait for the end of the collection period. You can set this behavior either on the automated data snapshot indicator record or in a time series data visualization for a data snapshot indicator.
    Collect data snapshots scores with confidence

    Data mining for data snapshots scores has the following improvements:

    • Collect scores for tables with any volume of records.
    • The system accurately and automatically handles data gaps when data mining is disabled.
    • You are warned of the implications before you manually disable data mining (score collection).
    Activate data snapshots in more cases and with better information
    • Activate indicators without active data collector jobs.
    • Activate indicators regardless of underlying record volume. For example, the INSERT_VOLUME_EXCEEDED error no longer occurs.
    • If the activation fails because of scripted breakdowns, the scripted breakdowns are listed in the failure message.
    • Generic parsing errors have been rewritten into specific, categorized messages.

    Automatic aggregation of date-filtered data based on date range
    Filter dashboards by business calendar and have the system infer the appropriate aggregation level at runtime. If you put a time series data visualization on a dashboard with a date filter, the aggregation of shown data adjusts automatically depending on the selected date range. This adjustment applies to both table and data snapshots indicator data.
    Create custom data visualization filters with an improved condition builder
    When creating a data visualization for table data, you can create a custom filter when you specify the data source. The condition builder for the custom filter now has menus of fields, operators, values, and related tables.
    Hide the Refresh action on data visualizations
    In the Headers and Borders section of data visualizations, use the Show refresh option check box to hide the Refresh icon in the Configuration settings of data visualizations. Data visualizations on cached dashboards never have the Refresh icon.
