Demo highlights
The Now Mobile demo displays a launcher screen divided into UI sections. Tap an item in any section to open the item. For details on how launcher screens, other types of screens, and actions work together in the mobile environment, see Mobile hierarchy.
Employee
- Campaigns
- The carousel display shows how you can easily present targeted information to employees based on location, job role, and other key criteria. Rich media, including in-app video playback, can cover a variety of important company communications.
- Frequently Used Items
- The display includes an example of shortcuts to items employee users are likely to access frequently, such as scheduling a visit to the tech lounge. These can be configured by the organization to keep them readily available for employees. For more information about the tech lounge example, see Walk-up Experience. For more information on office entry codes, see Verify your health status and compliance.
- My Items
The My items section provides links to active tasks, requests, assets, and team members.
Tasks
Items assigned to a user for completion, such as approvals or policy acknowledgement, will appear in the tasks for the employee. Inline action can be taken to respond to approval requests.
Requests
Once the employee has submitted a request for an item or service the open ticket or case will be available here to track. Universal requests, indicated with a UR at the beginning of the case number, can be easily transferred between departments as needed. For more information on services and requests, see Request experience in Now Mobile.
Assets
Items assigned to a user are itemized for easy reference, making it simple to report an issue or review all checked out assets. For more information, see Hardware Asset Management.
Team
Reaching colleagues is just a tap away. In addition to contact information, profiles show examples of how deeplinks can directly launch other apps, such as a Microsoft Teams chat or a LinkedIn profile. For information on configuring native mobile functions like those used to make calls and send emails, see Mobile functions.
- Services
- Employees can request items or help from departments across the enterprise. Popular services make the most commonly requested needs easy to find. Other items are easy to browse by topic or can be reached via the search.
- Saved
- Use saved views to gain quick access to frequently used screens and views. Saved views enable you to save any screen or web page within your mobile app. Learn more about Mobile saved views.
- Health
- Employees have everything they need for workplace health and safety. Users can verify health, make reservations, or report vaccinations. For more information, see Safe Workplace for mobile.
- Virtual Agent Chat
- Use the chat button to connect to a virtual agent. Virtual agent is an automated conversational interface you can use to address common issues, such as password resets, or email account setup. The Now Mobile uses a quick action to access chat. For more information on Virtual Agent, see Virtual Agent. The chat button on the demo launch page is a quick action. For details on how to add a virtual agent to your mobile apps, see Enable Live Agent in the Now Mobile app.
Chief Information Officer (CIO)
- Value
CIOs need to always have a pulse on the value being delivered by IT to the business. Implementing this core value is delivered within the following sections:
Targets
Quickly glance at how IT is performing against its set targets. This ultimately ties to the CIOs objectives and key results (OKRs). Possible targets could be:
- IT spend to plan YTD
- Employee satisfaction
- Number of projects delivered YTD
Investments
What strategies and business units are investing in IT.
Business Enablement
Review and identify any current Capability gaps and take action to address them.
Business Consumption
See the details of subscription or license costs, the vendor, type of agreement, and most importantly when a contract is ending.
- Risk and Resiliency
Service Degradation
Service availability and performance issues that the CIO needs to be aware of.
Security and Compliance
Security vulnerabilities that are possible risks to the business and compliance issues that need to be addressed to avoid audits.
- Execution
Goals
Standards compliance goals as well as applications retired or cloud migration business goals.
Projects in Red
Understand what the project is slated for along with access to current and past status reports. These reports can include executive summaries on the status to decide whether or not to engage with the project.
Upcoming Releases
Single view to track all new products, features, and enhancements being delivered across the organization.
Digital Transformation
Measure and track execution of the digital transformation efforts within IT, in support of all business units.
Saved Items
Any of the cards or graphs or metrics have drill-down capability, allowing the CIO to navigate down to specific records in ServiceNow. In addition, any section of the CIO mobile has a Save item feature that can serve as bookmarks, so the CIO has a place to go directly to what is top of mind rather than having to navigate to a particular area of the mobile.
Saved items are all available with a single tap and swipe under Savedat the bottom of the CIO mobile app.
