ServiceNow®
Governance, Risk, and Compliance product enhancements and updates in the Orlando release.
Orlando upgrade information
If you are upgrading Governance, Risk, and Compliance products, the initial
Orlando versions are available immediately in your instance. Going
forward, all updates to GRC products are only available in the ServiceNow Store.
If you have previously installed GRC products
and want an update from the ServiceNow Store, you do not need to activate the
Dependencies plugins for GRC products before you install the product
updates.
When you download and install GRC products
from the ServiceNow Store, dependency plugins are automatically activated. For
example, when you activate the Policy and Compliance Management product, the Policy and Compliance Management Dependencies plugin is automatically activated.
If you have previously installed the GRC: Vendor Risk Management and GRC: SIG
Questionnaire applications, and want to upgrade them to the Orlando
release, be sure to update GRC: SIG Questionnaire first, as it will
update all applications that use SIG, including GRC: Vendor Risk Management. If you update GRC: Vendor Risk Management first, be sure to manually update GRC:
SIG Questionnaire after the GRC: Vendor Risk Management update
is complete.
