    Migrate from classic mobile to ServiceNow mobile

    Migrate from ServiceNow Classic to ServiceNow® mobile to take advantage of features such as rapid development, offline capability, and integration with native mobile device features.

    Understand the benefits of migration to ServiceNow® mobile

    ServiceNow® mobile is a native, mobile-first design that introduces new capabilities that were not available in ServiceNow Classic:
    • Rapid, low code application development using Studio.
    • Base system applications for Approval Management, ITSM, and Field Service Management.
    • Integration with native mobile device features, such as camera, phone, SMS, and map apps.
    • Offline capabilities, including offline read and write.
    • Enhanced security features including data loss prevention.
    For more detail on ServiceNow® mobile, see Mobile configuration and navigation.

    Evaluate your organization's current mobile use

    Start off with a list of business goals and determine which features your users need most. Consider which screens, fields, and actions your users use frequently, as well as what functionality your users do not use.

    There is no direct method of transferring ServiceNow Classic components into the ServiceNow® mobile product. You can create the same functionality available to your users with base system applications and manually building mobile applications in the ServiceNow® mobile framework.

    Use base system applications when possible

    ServiceNow provides several base system applications to get you started quickly with commonly used functionality. Base system applications are tested by ServiceNow, and receive updates automatically as you upgrade your instance. The New York release includes applications for:

    • Approval Management
    • Customer Service Management
    • Field Service Management
    • Incident Management
    • Information Technology Operations Management
    • ITSM Software Asset Management
    • ITSM
    • Security Operations
    • Risk
    • HR
    • Finance

    Use these applications right away, or customize them to suit your business needs using Studio.
