Changes

Between your current release family and Yokohama, some changes were made to existing Industrial Process Manager features.


Release	Release notes
Vancouver	Industrial Workspace The Manufacturing Workspace was renamed to the Industrial Workspace. Industrial Workspace Admin The Manufacturing menu item was renamed to Industrial Workspace Admin on the Platform. ISA admin permissions update The ISA admin can assign a template to any site at any time, regardless of whether a template has already been assigned. Improved ISA import from Excel The ISA equipment model entity import (SG-Equipment Model Import Using Spreadsheet) was improved with the following updates: ISA equipment model entities from different sites are imported via the ISA Service Graph Connector in a single pass. The ISA equipment model entity import no longer requires a reference to the parent entity. The Entity ID and Parent ID fields were removed from the Excel template to avoid unintentionally merging records. The ISA Service Graph Connector supports multiple equipment model entities with the same name as long as the Path value is unique. Existing Equipment Model Templates can be added at the same time that equipment model entities are imported. The attachment on the Equipment Model Import Data Source was renamed to "Import Equipment Model - Data Source - v2.xlsx." IP Address column The IP Address column was removed from the default view of the OT Assets related list. You can add it back using the List Actions icon. Read-only protection policy for the ISAEquipmentModelConstants script include The read-only protection policy for the ISAEquipmentModelConstants script include was removed, so the script include is now accessible. Note: Don’t include a hyphen in the allowed short code characters. Hyphens interfere with the path values. Manage the Equipment Model section in the Industrial Process Manager Guided Setup The Manage the equipment model section of the Industrial Process Manager Guided Setup has the following new enhancements: The Assign Users task was removed. The Create User Criteria for Site Users task was added. The Assign Site Users - Can Read task was added. The Assign Site Users - Can Edit task was added.

ISA Equipment Model enhancements When you upgrade to version 1.0.12 of the ISA Equipment Model, the migration from site user access to user criteria and groups begins automatically and the following changes are made: Improved site level access control to that uses user criteria to define read or write level user access to equipment model entity sites. With the additional assignment of OT viewer (cmdb_ot_viewer) or OT Editor (cmdb_ot_editor) roles, you can also have view or edit access to OT devices in the sites assigned accordingly. When you upgrade to version 1.0.12 of ISA Equipment Model, existing site user records are migrated to an improved access control model using user criteria to preserve the same access permissions. For each site with ISA Entity Site User records, the following changes occur. For users with viewer access: A new user criteria record is created and named Read User Criteria for <site name> Site [System Generated] A new user group with all site users from this site is created and named Read Group for <site name> Site [System Generated] A new record in the new Equipment Model Entity View Access table (isa_entity_m2m_user_criteria_can_view) is created with the new user criteria and user group. For users with editor access: A new user criteria record is created and named Edit User Criteria for <site name> Site [System Generated] A new user group with all site users from this site is created and named Edit Group for <site name> Site [System Generated] A new record in the new Equipment Model Entity Edit Access table (isa_entity_m2m_user_criteria_can_edit) is created with the new user criteria and user group. The Site User application menu and Site Users related list on the Equipment Model Entity record for a site is removed. All site user (isa_entity_site_user) records are set to inactive. The Site User – Can Read and Site User – Can Edit application menu items are added to the ServiceNow AI Platform.
