Version 10.0: After upgrades and deployments of new applications or integrations, run quick start tests to verify that Risk Management still works. If you customized Risk Management, copy the quick start tests and configure them for your customizations.

Version 9.0: Automate the process of adding approvers, issues, and owners to a risk event using the risk event response templates. The template reduces the need for human intervention in handling risk events each time a risk event is created. The template also automatically defines the life cycle of the risk event and how users respond to it.

Version 9.0: Use the Basel categorization specifically for banking and financial domains. Enabling Basel categorization helps you comply with the Basel regulations for mandatory sharing of Basel reports with external regulators. As a business user, you can choose to enable or disable the display of the Basel dashboard.

Version 9.0: View comprehensive data for risk events and risk hierarchy using the ServiceNow®Performance Analytics dashboard. By default, data for the previous six months is visible to users with the sn_risk.managers role. To view data for any time period other than the previous six months, you must purchase and install the Performance Analytics Premium plugin (com.snc.pa.premium).

Version 9.0: Integrate any ServiceNow® application with risk events to simplify reporting and recording of risk events across your organization.

Version 9.0: Enable the Operational Risk data Exchange (ORX) integration property for banking customers. ORX is an industry consortium primarily used in the financial sector for sharing loss events with other financial organizations. ​The loss event information that's shared between organizations serves as an external market alert for users to understand the risks in the market.

Version 9.0: Specify the expected ALE and maximum acceptable ALE values in the manage aggregated risk report. This information enables viewing of the risk tolerance status in the aggregated risk report. Compare the performance of an entity for a risk statement against the defined threshold.

• Viewing My Risk Events--Version 9.0: Report risk events and quickly view the events that you've reported in the ServiceNow® Service Portal under My Risk Events.
• Addition of cause and consequence library for risk events--Version 9.0: Add causes and consequences of risk events in the cause and consequence library. This centralized library contains the possible causes and consequences that can lead to a risk event. This information helps in the risk analysis, risk prediction, and prevention of risks.
• Ability to select currency while reporting risk events--Version 9.0: Select the currency when you report risk events.
• Relate risks events to risk and relate risk statements to risks--Version 9.0: Relate risk events to risks and relate a risk statement to a risk. Establishing this relationship is important for all organizations that use the ServiceNow® Risk Management application. Establishing this relationship provides data for future risk assessment and is also useful for accurate reporting and prevents the creation of orphan risks.
• Rapid recovery classification--Version 9.0: Recovery is defined as a recovery of loss incurred from a risk event. Rapid recovery refers to the recovery that's generally made in five days. You can modify the default number of days rapid recovery classification.
• Automatic classification of near miss events--Version 9.0: Automatically classify a near-miss event. Based on preconfigured business rules, the system automatically flags a risk event as a "Near Miss." You can also specify the reason for the near miss.
• Gain event classification--Version 9.0: Track risk events that don't lead to losses but to actual gains. A risk event result can also result in a financial gain for your organization. Track such events to understand which controls are effective, or which risk becomes an opportunity.

Use the AWA operations dashboard to get real-time visibility into key metrics so that your agents can effectively support customer needs. This dashboard shows real-time information about agent presence states, total agent capacity, and the number of work items that are in the agent queues. This dashboard allows queue managers, customer service team managers, and channel owners to monitor queues, assignment groups, and service channels.

Assign work items to the agent who is best suited to fulfill the request by configuring Agent Affinity. Agent Affinity assigns work items that are based on an agent's history with a customer, whether an agent has fulfilled past assignments for a similar task, and if the agent's account team has fulfilled past assignments.

Monitor agents during live chats between agents and requesters. Supervisors can also join the chat and enter messages that can be viewed by the agent and requester.

Configure queue routing rules that use context variables in a condition builder. If you're using Virtual Agent, you can also specify the context variable to be used for topic intent discovery.

Define work item sizing for a service channel. The assignment algorithm uses work item sizing to determine if an agent has the capacity to handle the assignment.

• Build a custom landing page

  Create your own landing page for Agent Workspace by using Now components. Now components include lists, containers, and Performance Analytics and Reporting data visualizations. Add the components that you want and put them in the location that you want on the page. With this feature, you have complete control over the look and feel of your landing page.

• Add custom components

  Add Now components to the ribbon, form pane, field decorators, list actions, related lists, modals, and related items to improve your agents’ efficiency.

• Develop components for Workspace

  Develop custom components to add to your Workspace using the Now® Experience UI Framework and the Now® Experience CLI. Improve agent efficiency by allowing them to communicate in one interface and avoid switching between multiple tools.

• Customize the logo

  Instead of using the logo supplied with Agent Workspace, use your company's name or logo.

• Change the colors of Agent Workspace

  Select two colors to make Agent Workspace reflect your company's color branding.

• Secondary values in form headers can be conditional

  You can create conditions that make secondary values in form headers appear or not appear. For example, you can make the Assigned to secondary value appear only if the issue is assigned to the agent looking at the record.

• Improved Form section navigation

  Forms often display many fields. Now, you can use the menu icon () to jump to sections in the form pane rather than scrolling to them.

• New workspace view rules
  • Specify the order of items in the Related Items menu

    You can customize the default ordering of items in the Related Items menu. The default order is Details, which is the form data, then zero or more related items, and finally one or more related lists.

  • Specify the default focus for related items and lists

    You can specify which item in the Related Item menu is in focus when a record opens. The default is Details. Also, you can make the focus conditional.

  • Specify default Form pane section focus

    You can configure which section your agent sees first in the form pane. By default, the first section of an item appears in the form pane when it opens. If you want an agent to see a different section first, you can set that up. For example, if agents need information in section 11 of a related list whenever the condition State is On hold is true, you can display section 11 instead of section 1.

  • Hide Details and UI actions

    You can hide the Details and UI actions in forms for people who are not required to see record details.

• Form annotations supported

  You can annotate forms in the form pane. Form annotations work the same as they do in the Now Platform.

• More field types are supported in modals

  The field modal supports two additional field types: glide_list and HTML. These field types join the types that are already supported: string, textarea, choice, reference, and Boolean.

• Agent Workspace supports column filtering with choice type fields

  When an agent filters a column that is in the sys_choice table, Agent Workspace displays a pop-up window with the fields to filter by. If there are more than 10 fields, Agent Workspace displays a Filter field in the pop-up window so that the agent can easily find the fields to filter on.

  

• Agent Workspace supports database views in lists.

  Agent Workspace now supports database views in lists. In previous versions, some lists would load endlessly.

• Add records to a related list

  The multi-record associator enables agents to add records to a related list. When an agent selects the Add Workspace action in a related list, a modal appears that enables them to select one or more records to add them to the related list. Currently, the component only supports many-to-many table relationships.

• Highlight list fields

  You can highlight fields in lists of records to call agents' attention to them. For example, you might make the background red for Priority values that are Critical. This functionality replaces Field Styling. You can't automatcially convert Field Styling configurations into highlighted list fields. Highlighting definitions are per workspace, not per instance.

• URL support

  Previously, the only fields in lists that worked as links were type and reference fields. As of Orlando, URL field types now work as links in lists. Clicking the URL opens the link. Workspace validates that the URL value starts with http:// or https://.

• Record selections are not cleared when moving to a new page of records in the same list

  Previously, when agents selected a record on a page and then navigated to another page, their selections were cleared. Workspace no longer clears these selections.

• Large lists of records display faster

  You can reduce the load times of lists for very large tables by removing the calculation of the total number of records in those lists.

• Multiple Agent Assists

  You can create multiple Agent Assists in the form pane. Each Agent Assist would use a different information source such as a knowledge base or employee records.

• Dynamic filters

  Set up dynamic filters that are based on field values in a record. For example, change the search results automatically when an agent changes a field in a record that is open in a workspace.

• Change the title shown on Agent Assist

  Instead of having Agent Assist as the title, you can change it to something more relevant to your agents.

• Agent Assist searches with empty search criteria

  Agent Assist uses a field that you specify, usually, Short Description, to populate search results when you open a record. In the past, if that field was empty, Agent Assist wouldn't run the search at all. Now, you can use the Allow search with empty search text search field to search even when there is no Search Field specified or when Search Field is empty. For example, human resources can use this feature to list all employee documents in Agent Assist. Then, agents can use the search field to refine the list. For example, agents can filter on 401k.

• Agent Assist personalizes searches

  Agent Assist can now watch the value of a record field and return results based on that value. For example, human resources (HR) can use this feature to show employee documents that are based on the value of the Caller field in an open HR Case record.

• Agent Assist supports more Search Resources

  Previously, Agent Assist supported the search resources, Knowledge and Service Catalog. Now, you can use many more sources of information in Agent Assist searches. For example, you can search through Open incidents, Resolved incidents, Outages, Open problems, and more. You can list them by navigating to Contextual Search > Additional Resources.

• New field types
  Form controls now support the following field types:

  • Percent Complete—Enables agents to input percent values, including decimals and negatives. The value appears with a percent sign (%).
  • IP Address—Supports v4 and v6.
  • FX Currency—Allows positive or negative values in this field type.
• New tag operators
  Tag filtering has new operators:

  • Have—Includes records with specific tags.
  • Does not have—Excludes records with specific tags and records with no tags.
  • Excluding—Excludes records with specific tags, but includes records with no tags.

  

• New date range picker

  Enable agents to select a range of dates.

  

• Drag and drop events to reschedule them on calendars.

  Reschedule events by simply dragging and dropping them into a new timeslot on calendars.

• Reference picker enhanced
  As an agent enters text in a field, the text becomes highlighted as follows. If the input matches:

  • Both the secondary and primary values, Agent Workspace highlights only the primary value.
  • Only the secondary value, Agent Workspace only highlights the secondary value.

  

• Agents can share an Agent Workspace view with other agents by using links.

  Agents can send the URL in their browser to another agent so that the two agents can look at the same record in Agent Workspace.

• Configure Agent Workspace components from the Settings menu
  In the Settings menu under the profile image, two new menu items provide you with shortcuts to configure the workspace and forms:

  • Configure Workspace—Opens the workspace configuration page.
  • Configure Page—Appears when the page content is a form. This menu item takes you directly to the pages that you use to configure the displayed form.

  Using these menu items is easier than navigating to the configuration pages using the application navigator.

• Knowledge Management now included in Agent Workspace

  Knowledge Management functionality is now included in Agent Workspace. You can read about its Orlando features in its release notes.

• Specify the maximum number of characters for field values exported to Microsoft Excel

  The glide.us.export.choice_list_max_characters system property sets the maximum number of characters in Condition field values when you export them to Microsoft Excel. For example, if Condition field values were truncated during export, you can increase the maximum number of characters exported. This property does not affect the size of fields in records.

• New Agent Chat virus scan

  Uploaded files in Agent Chat are now scanned and flagged when infected. When an infected file is uploaded by an agent, a card appears indicating that the file is infected, and can't be forwarded to anyone.

• Agent names and avatars in Agent Chat

  Agent names and avatars can now be configured to represent agent identities when visible, or when set to anonymous, to display a generic agent identification.

• Set up an audible chat or inbox alert

  An audible alert can now be set to notify an agent when a new chat or item arrives in their inbox.

• Show phone, chat, or walk-up icon on phone interaction tab

  Agents can now see the active status of interaction tabs. Agents can now know the interactions that are currently in progress.

• Interaction auto-logging of context related to table records

  Agents can now have records associated to a chat through context added as related records to a chat.

• User Wait Time shown in Agent Chat window

  When a user initiates a chat with a live agent, they can now see an estimated wait time to talk with an agent. The wait time is set by an administrator in Chat Setup.

• Pre-chat and post-chat surveys

  Display a pre- and post-chat conversation topic in the chat client (Service Portal chat widget and Virtual Agent messaging integrations) that presents requesters with a conversational questionnaire. Pre-chat surveys gather information that can be used to route requesters to qualified agents. Post-chat surveys enable requesters to provide feedback on the chat experience. You design the questionnaires using the ServiceNow Survey Designer.

• New attribute on the cmdb_ci table
• Value choices are: Prod, Test, or Dev
• Use case: Identify the environment that the configuration item (CI) supports. Previously, the “used for” attribute identified the environment but it was at the cmdb_ci_server tablel evel. This new attribute identifies other items such as hardware, software, and containers.
• Description: “Environment” is the deployment tier within a computer system. Common examples include Development, QA, and Production.

• New attribute on the cmdb_ci table
• Value: Reference to group table in ServiceNow
• Use case: Identify the group responsible for managing the CI data
• Reason for this new attribute: The base attribute is “Managed by,” which references the user table. However, some customers have requested a group-referenced attribute. Previously, you may have filled this need by modifying the CMDB “Managed by” attribute to reference the sys_user_group or may have created a custom attribute.

  Also, if you have modified other related attributes such as the Approval group, Assignment group, and Support group attributes, we can't modify these related attributes. This means that you may not get the full benefit of the "Managed by group" attribute.

• New attribute on the cmdb_ci_hardware table
• Value: Boolean (True or False)
• Use case: The Internet Facing attribute indicates whether the CI is inside or outside the DeMilitarized Zone (DMZ). Customers want to know if their tools (for example, Puppet) or ranges of IP addresses are inside or outside the DMZ. Currently, the FireWall attribute in the cmdb_ci_server table provides this identification but at a different level. This new attribute identifies not only hardware, but also CIs such as containers not associated with hardware.

Convert a set of legacy business services to application services in a single operation. Using bulk conversion, you can leverage dynamic services that synchronize with CI changes.

Application services streamline the different types of services in your organization. Also, you can apply ITOM capabilities, such as viewing the service history and monitoring the service health, to application services.

Create a report in CMDB Query Builder that dynamically updates when the saved query that it is associated with runs. Therefore, this report is always synchronized with the latest results of the query.

You can manage a dynamic report like any other report in Reporting, and you can attach it to a Performance Analytics dashboard.

After upgrades and deployments of new applications or integrations, run quick start tests to verify that CMDB still works. If you customized CMDB, copy the quick start tests and configure them for your customizations.

In addition to the ability to use the value of a record and return knowledge results based only on that value, you can now also use the value of a record field and return table-based additional resource results based only on that value. For example, human resources (HR) could use this feature to show employee documents based only on the value of the Caller field in an open HR Case record.

The Predictive Intelligence Similarity capability for Contextual Search has been moved into a dedicated plugin named Predictive Intelligence for Contextual Search (com.snc.contextual_search.ml). If you have access to Predictive Intelligence, you can now decide whether you want to activate the ability to use machine-learning algorithms for searching with Contextual Search.

Version 10.3: There are two new integrations, one for Rapid7 Nexpose Data Warehouse, and one for Rapid7 InsightVM. Enable the Rapid7 Comprehensive Vulnerable Item Integration or the Rapid7 Comprehensive Vulnerable Item Integration – API if you want to close stale vulnerable items automatically with the Auto-Close Stale Vulnerable Items module. Based on the most current imported data, vulnerable items not recently found are automatically transitioned to ‘Closed’ by the Auto-Close Stale Vulnerable Items scheduled job.

Version 10.0: Rapid7 Asset List Integration for Nexpose Data Warehouse: Retrieve asset scan data once a week from the Asset List integration which stores the data in the Discovered Items module in your instance. This integration helps identify assets that haven't been scanned lately using the Last Scan date.

Version 10.0: Retry for API failures such as timeouts.

Version 9.0: Rapid7 Multi-source support: Provide a unified view into the vulnerability exposure of your organization, using the Vulnerability Response multi-source support. Multi-source support enables you to integrate multiple Rapid7 InsightVM deployments into a single instance of Vulnerability Response. Assets identified by multiple Rapid7 InsightVM deployments and their vulnerabilities are consolidated and reconciled with your CMDB. This consolidation happens even when scan processes overlap between the multiple deployments.

Version 9.0: Rapid7 Asset List Integration: Retrieve asset scan data once a week from the Asset List integration which stores the data in the Discovered Items module in your instance. This integration helps identify assets that haven't been scanned lately using the Last Scan date.

Version 9.0: Rapid7 Host Tags: Use tags from Rapid7 InsightVM (called Host Tags) in the condition builder in Vulnerability Response. For example in Assignment Rules, Remediation Target Rules, and so on.

After upgrades and deployments of new applications or integrations, run quick start tests to verify that Walk-up Experience still works. If you customized Walk-up Experience, copy the quick start tests and configure them for your customizations.
