| AI Risk and Compliance |
- AI risk and compliance home page
-
The Risk and compliance tab now features dedicated Risk overview and Compliance overview sections that enable you to continuously monitor the risk and compliance posture of your AI assets.
The Risk overview section is a filtered view of your AI assets that are based on inherent and residual risk levels so that you can make informed risk evaluations. The Compliance overview section displays the regulatory risk
classification of AI systems, models, and datasets through donut charts. Additionally, you can see the compliance status of your AI assets in relation to applicable authority documents and internal policies.
- Worknotes and comments in AI system records
- The AI system record now supports worknotes and comments. You can now document decisions, share updates, and provide context throughout the AI risk and compliance life-cycle. Worknotes and comments help improve the
communication among stakeholders and ensure a comprehensive audit trail.

| AI Search |
- Zurich Patch 4
- 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.
- Zurich Patch 1
- Consumer-grade search experience for search portals
- The search results page for search portals has been revised to offer a more intuitive and consistent experience. Navigation tabs have been replaced with source facet buckets. All search results now open in a new browser tab,
preserving your search in the existing browser tab. Facet buckets now show minimum search result counts, reflecting results removed by late binding content security. Search terms are no longer highlighted in search
results.
- Consumer-grade search experience for global search and workspace search
- The search results page for global search and workspace search has been revised to offer a more intuitive and consistent experience. Navigation tabs have been replaced with source facet buckets. All search results now open
in a new browser tab, preserving your search in the existing browser tab. Facet buckets now show minimum search result counts, reflecting results removed by late binding content security. A new
glide.ui.ais.show_all_facets system property enables you to display facets from all sources when no source is selected. (The default behavior is to hide facets until a source is selected.) Search terms
are no longer highlighted in search results.
- Sort facet buckets alphabetically
- Override the default sorting of facet buckets by their search result counts and display them sorted alphabetically by their labels.
- Improved display for grouped attachment search results
- When grouped with their parent search results, attachment search results now appear in collapsed form to save space. If a parent search result includes more than three grouped attachments, you can use the new Show
more and Show less links to control how many attachments are visible.

| Collaborative Work Management |
- My Work enhancements
-
Track all your work from one place using the enhanced My Work in CWM. My Work now supports all ServiceNow task records-such as incidents, changes, and requests-whether they originate in CWM or outside, giving you a unified view of everything assigned to you. This helps you stay on top of
overdue or open tasks and improves on-time delivery.
Additionally, the Item type filter has been refined to show all CWM tasks (including custom ones) grouped under a single category, instead of listing every CWM task type individually. You’ll also only see task types in the
filter that you’re actually assigned to, reducing clutter and making it easier to filter what matters.

- Apply template: While applying a Board template, you can see the number of Board views and custom task types that you get if you apply this template. The Board views drop-down list lets you switch between views and
provides information on the type of views that are enabled in this template.
Only those custom columns that are part of these views are brought over when you apply this template.
- Collaborating with Spaces in CWM
-
When a user is added to the Assigned to field of a CWM task but doesn't yet have access to the Space, the email notification requesting access is sent only to the Space owners. This way, there's less
email clutter for all the Space users because notifications are sent to only those users who need to know this information.
- New columns for CWM tasks
- Every task within a CWM Board has new columns called Sprint and Story points. You can use these columns if you choose to plan any task into Sprints. These columns are available on every type of work item, including the items
that are brought into the Board through Connected work.

remediation task. The default Match All mode continues to evaluate all applicable rules.
- Optimized Tenable.io Compliance Results ingestion
- Starting with v[VERSION], the Tenable.io Compliance Results Integration is replaced by the Tenable.io Fixed Compliance Results Integration and Tenable.io Open Compliance Results Integration. Compliance results are now
imported based on their status, optimizing ingestion performance and scalability for environments with large volumes of compliance data while keeping remediation and compliance tracking aligned with the current state of
findings.
- Qualys Integration – API enhancements
- Qualys Integration has been upgraded to support newer Qualys API versions across Host Detection, Host List, Knowledgebase, PC Controls, PC Policies, and PCRS integrations. The integrations now ingest additional data fields,
including vulnerability detection source, authentication privilege status, active status for controls and policies, and cloud metadata, giving you better visibility into your vulnerability and compliance data. Use the new
posture_api_version integration instance parameter to choose between the default v2.0 APIs or the newer v5.0 streaming APIs for the PCRS Policy Host and PCRS Test Results integrations.
- Optimized Tenable.io Compliance Results ingestion
- Starting with v[VERSION], the Tenable.io Compliance Results Integration is deprecated and replaced by the Tenable.io Fixed Compliance Results Integration and Tenable.io Open Compliance Results Integration. Compliance results
are now imported based on their status, optimizing ingestion performance and scalability for environments with large volumes of compliance data while keeping remediation and compliance tracking aligned with the current state
of findings.
- Configure Tenable test result granularity
- Starting with v15.6.1, you can configure the granularity of Tenable Configuration Test Results (CTRs) to split results into unique findings. For example, if a database has five instances, the system generates five distinct
test results, one per instance, providing improved visibility into individual patching efforts.
- Configure Qualys Test Result Granularity
- Starting with v15.4.3, you can configure the granularity of Qualys Configuration Test Results (CTR) in configuration compliance and split CTRs into unique findings. For example, if a database has five instances, the system

| Configuration Management Database (CMDB) |
- CMDB Workspace v7.6
-
-
On the Published policy tile on the Data Manager policies page, the policies list view now shows the scheduled job that is associated with the policy and the user that the policy runs as.
For more information, see Create a CMDB Data Manager policy.
-
Instead of the system automatically setting the run as attribute of the scheduled certification and attestation jobs to be the user that authored the policy, you can now set a specific user that
adheres to the policies and regulations in the organization. Configure the default values for the run as user and user accounts available for run as assignees for auditing purposes when it’s important to know who
initiated the changes.
For more information, see Components related to CMDB Data Manager.
-
For certification and attestation policy tasks, choose how to assign tasks in cases where a specified task assignment field is empty for a target CI. Specify a user or a user group to assign such tasks to, or create the
tasks without assigning them. An administrator can later review and assign those tasks.
For more information, see Create a CMDB Data Manager policy.
-
View the closed tasks in the My Work view in CMDB Workspace. Select the Closed card in the Task status tile to review the (in read-only mode) details for tasks that are in the Closed Complete, Closed Canceled, Closed Incomplete, or Rejected

the Create CI experience. Setting it to any value is optional.
For more information, see Create a CI manually in CMDB Workspace.
- The itil user role now contains the sn_cmdb_user user role and no longer contains the sn_cmdb_editor user role. As a result, the following
functions that were accessible to itil users now require the sn_cmdb_editor user role:
- Create and delete the operations that are related to CMDB 360 queries.
- Access the CMDB Retirement Definitions module by navigating to .
- Access the Create CI quick link on the Home view of CMDB Workspace.
- Containment in the itil user role
- In zBooted instances, the itil user role no longer contains the sn_cmdb_editor user role and the itil_admin user role no longer contains the sn_cmdb_admin user role. However, the sn_cmdb_admin and the sn_cmdb_editor user
roles now have full (create, update, delete) access to the Configuration Item [cmdb_ci] class.
- Constraints when deleting a CMDB Data Manager retirement definition
-
The same constraints that exist when deleting a retirement definition in CMDB Workspace now apply when directly accessing the CMDB Retirement Custom Definitions [cmdb_retirement_custom_definitions] table:
- The retirement definition that you want to delete must be in an inactive mode (Active = false).
- The retirement definition for the Configuration Item [cmdb_ci] class can't be deleted.
- Prioritize using IRE identification rules for uniquely identifying CIs
-
Configure the system to prioritize the use of IRE identification rules to uniquely identify CIs in a payload, instead of using the source_name and source_native_key fields. For
more information about using the glide.identification_engine.skip_sys_object_source_matching system property to control this behavior, see Properties.
- Run a query in an enhanced execution mode
- Set the execution mode for a saved CMDB Query Builder query to run using an enhanced query execution engine, which is designed for improved performance and scalability.
- Role configuration required for agentic workflows and AI agents
- Agentic workflows and AI agents included with Now Assist applications require additional security configuration. If you select Users with selected roles for your user access security controls for an agentic workflow or AI agent, you must add
the installed roles, or they won't execute. Data access settings must also include these roles. See the documentation for the agentic workflow or AI agent for the specific roles you must add. After the roles are configured, users must
have the specified role to invoke the agentic workflow or AI agent.
- New role required for the Create configuration item agentic workflow

- Set up contract templates on the Contract Request [sn_cm_core_contract_request] table to reuse the template across business units. When you select the Contract Request table, the Table tab in the Microsoft Word add-in displays an additional field, called the Parent request table field, that you can use to select the source parent request table.
Additionally, the
Table field has been renamed Lookup table.
You can select the table from the data that is
populated into the contract document. If the template isn't based on the Contract Request table, only the Lookup table field is shown.
- Copy fields from parent request to contract request
- Automatically copy the required fields from the originating business unit record to the contract request when it's initiated.
- Signature workflow for a contract request
- Wet signature requests are sent one signatory at a time, starting with the first signatory in order, rather than to all signatories at the same time. Signatories can be changed even after the signing process has been
initiated. When a signatory signs and returns the document, the fulfiller manages the remaining signatures.
- Modify signatories
- Enable contract fulfillers to pause an ongoing signature process, make necessary changes to the list or order of signatories, and then resume the process without restarting the entire workflow by using the Modify
Signatories and Resume signature options. This feature is supported only for the Docusign electronic signature provider.
- Resend signature request
- Enable contract fulfillers to manually trigger a signature request when needed instead of relying on automated reminders by using the
Resend signature request option.
- Configuring signatories in Contract template using Microsoft Word add-in
- Signature placeholders in contract templates are now mapped to the e-signature tool tags (such as Docusign) instead of signer fields to help accommodate changes in the signatories. The values in the signature blocks are filled
in by the signatories during the signing process.

- Automate your certificate workflows using Keyfactor EJBCA and
ACME
- Starting with version XX of Certificate Inventory and Management, you can automate the life cycle of requesting, renewing, and revoking your certificates by integrating the Keyfactor EJBCA certificate authority with the ACME automated certificate
management environment. Predefining your routing policies enables automated completion of the fields in your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and provides a secure environment for an automated flow of certificates.
- Discover a Root Certificate from a Browser
- Standard Discovery collects information about the certificates stored in your servers. You can also discover root certificates stored outside your servers and connect them to your certificate chain.
- Kubernetes Visibility Agent (KVA)
-
KVA performs continuous discovery to detect changes on resources in a Kubernetes cluster and updates the CMDB with the latest data.
Starting with KVA version 3.11.0, and Informer version 2.5.0, absent namespace CIs aren’t deleted automatically. Create a scheduled job to remove them.
Starting with KVA version 3.11.0, and Informer version 2.5.0, map application services based on traffic connections between the workloads in Kubernetes, by using istio and linked service meshes or the DaemonSet service.
- Prevent credential exposure by updating HTTP Classify behavior
- The HTTP Classify probe no longer attempts credentials over the HTTP protocol by default. This change enhances security by helping prevent potential exposure of credentials over unencrypted connections. To override this
behavior, a new MID Server property, mid.http_classy.allow_credentials_over_http, has been introduced. Enabling this setting might expose credentials to man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. Therefore, it’s
strongly recommended to keep this property set to false and use HTTPS whenever possible.
- Automated Certificate Renewal
- Starting with version 3.8.2, Certificate Inventory and Management introduces automated renewal capabilities. Administrators can set certificates to renew automatically, either when creating the certificate or by applying the setting to an existing one.
The system also enables you to define the renewal window by specifying the number of days before expiration that the process should begin.

- Create a CI using Now Assist
- Verbal interaction with this feature has improved. Occasionally, you might need to create a CI manually. To help you, the CI creator agentic workflow accepts your natural language request and verifies that it understands
which class the new CI should belong to. The workflow then checks Identification and Reconciliation engine (IRE) rules to determine the required attributes for the CI and requests that information. After you provide sufficient data, the workflow ensures that the proposed CI includes the attributes
that you requested, complies with IRE rules, and is not a duplicate. The workflow then creates the CI.
- Getting advice from Now Assist on CMDB governance
- To help users understand the value of each step in the process, responses now include richer context. The CMDB Governance agentic workflow supports administrators and service owners by improving CMDB data governance. Before starting in on each governance task, the workflow presents the reasons for the task to help you better understand the importance and benefits of the activity.
The objective is to ensure that CMDB data is accurate and complete so that users can trust the data.
- Use Now Assist to search the CMDB for CIs
- Verbal interaction with this feature has improved. Users can now select the CI inline when multiple CIs are returned as matches. A summary of the CI now appears in the conversation. The CMDB search agentic workflow enables you to search for CIs by specifying any of several attributes of the CI of interest. The workflow accepts your natural language request, verifies your
search goal, and then generates a keyword search, a single-table search with dot walks, or a multi-table search, depending on the information that you provided. The workflow can infer CI relationship data to generate an
appropriate query.
- View CI information with the Now Assist CI summarization skill
- Verbal interaction with this feature has improved. You can now view a concise summary of the key CI data by selecting the CI on a CI form, in a workspace page, or on any list view. The summary can include discovery data,

- Automatic URL Parameter Passing: Pass URL parameters automatically into scripts invoked from Data List instance options enabling admins to build richer, multi‑parameter conditions without extra setup.
- Script‑Based View Selection: Use the Data List Condition Script option to choose a view dynamically. Scripts can evaluate URL parameters and other context to determine the most appropriate view at runtime.
- Configurable Default Sorting: Define initial sorting behavior using the new sort_by and sort_order options letting the users see a meaningful default order when the list loads.
|
| Service Catalog |
- A property to delete a draft of catalog item
- Use the property glide.sc.delete_draft_item_on_version_change to determine whether to delete a saved draft of a catalog item on its modification.
- Dynamic Lookup Choices and Enhanced Table Sourcing
-
Lookup questions are now more flexible and user-friendly. You can effortlessly display choices directly from a specific table field, offering similar ease for select box configurations. Additionally, create dynamic
dependent lookups where the choices refresh automatically based on the values selected in other fields on the same form, guiding users to more relevant selections.
- Enhanced Sorting Control for Lookup Fields
- Customize the display order in lookup select boxes, look up multiple choice, and list collector fields with the new ref_ac_order_by attribute. This attribute enables options to be sorted primarily by a
specified data column, and then by their display label, providing a more logical and predictable presentation for users.

| Vulnerability Response |
- Granular VIT creation for Microsoft TVM recommendations
- You can now configure recommendation as a vulnerability item (VIT) key for Microsoft Threat & Vulnerability Management (TVM). This enhancement enables each recommendation to generate a separate vulnerable item, offering more granular control for tracking, assigning, and managing remediation efforts, especially when
different recommendations require actions from different teams.
- Improved state management for remediation tasks and vulnerable items
- State management logic for roll down of state from remediation tasks (RTs) to findings and roll up of state from findings to RTs has been refined across all modules. Updates improve accuracy by handling mixed item states (a
combination of Deferred and Closed), supporting closure of tasks in sub-states like In-Review, and reopening tasks based on the Assigned To field. The update also improves handling of False Positive state transitions based on
scanner results as source of truth. These enhancements reduce manual effort, clarify task ownership, and streamline remediation workflows.
- Ability to manually cancel Exposure Assessment background jobs
- Vulnerability Admins and Event Managers can now cancel Exposure Assessment background jobs that were triggered with incorrect parameters or are taking longer than expected. This enhancement reduces downtime by removing the
need to wait for the job to complete. After the job is cancelled, the substate is immediately set to User cancelled, and the
state updates to Complete after the job is fully terminated; giving you better control and flexibility.
