The Next Experience UI delivers a next generation, intuitive, personalized experience to drive productivity, improve engagement, and surface insights across the Now Platform. The UI unifies your instance apps and reduces clicks to access the items you need to get working.

  • View content specific to your role and tasks all in one location.
  • Designate a start page for your users, or allow them to choose their own.

Functionality not supported

Important:

Connect Chat is not available in Next Experience. Starting with Washington DC, certain Connect Chat functions are available in Next Experience by using Sidebar. See KB1123615 – Moving from Connect Chat to Sidebar for more information about the differences between Connect Chat and Sidebar.

Connect Support is not available in Next Experience and is scheduled to be completely deprecated in Utah. If you want to automatically assign chat requests and other work items to agents in Next Experience, you must migrate to Advanced Work Assignment and Agent Chat. For details, see Move from Connect Support to Advanced Work Assignment and Agent Chat.

These features and products are not currently supported with Next Experience:

  • The functionality found in homepages, arranging information from your instance to tell a story about your data, is found in dashboards on new instances. On upgraded instances with Next Experience enabled, users can view existing homepages if they have a direct URL, but they can't create or edit them. Responsive dashboards and Analytics Center dashboards take over homepage functionality. Use the Homepage deprecation help tool to convert the homepages on your instance to responsive dashboards.
  • Custom header menus are not supported.
  • Live Feed is not supported.
  • The JavaScript console log isn't supported in the Next Experience framework.
  • ATF now supports form components built with UI builder. See Form category for more information. ATF doesn't support these elements of Next Experience, but support for these features is planned for future releases:
    • Pages built with UI Builder, including pages with lists and form components.
    • Landing pages
    Note: ATF still supports the Core UI, including Classic Environment (such as classic lists and forms).
