The launch of ServiceNow Vancouver is planned for September 2023, bringing with it many new Interesting features and capabilities. And in this post, we'll give you a bird's-eye view of Vancouver's best new features!
Major improvements
AI Research: The user's search experience has been simplified by enabling search result counts, displaying attachment results as part of their parent record, and opening search results in new browser tabs. In addition, search results are more flexibly refined with multiselect facet filters, allowing you to display results that contain any or all of the selected field's values. Retrieval of multilingual Knowledge Article searches has also been improved by mapping search languages to users' countries. Search has also been expanded to include Active Server Page Extended (.aspx) document and attachment content.
API: Using the server-side JavaScript APIs in scripts allows you to modify application functionality effectively. You can run client APIs whenever a client-based event occurs, such as a form loading, form submission, or field value change. In addition, the integration of inbound REST APIs makes it possible to interact with various ServiceNow functionalities in your application, making it more versatile and connected to the organization's needs.
Account lifecycle events: The new update allows vendors to offer a structured and repeatable onboarding experience to their customers, while ensuring transparency for both internal and external teams. In addition, it simplifies the collaborative processes of importing, preparing and publishing data for the integration of technology vendors' corporate accounts, making them more efficient and accessible. This update aims to provide an improved and cost-effective onboarding experience for enterprise customers by leveraging playbooks, playbook activities, case types, and case task structures specifically created to establish a repeatable framework for all onboarding activities, ensuring consistency and effectiveness across the entire process.
Advanced Risk: To enhance risk management, the platform now offers the ability to conduct a targeted risk assessment, allowing you to define your desired risk level going forward. Additionally, you can create specific scopes for risk assessments and schedule those assessments with a guided experience through the playbook integration, making the process more efficient. Flexibility has been extended for risk administrators by allowing them to configure advanced risk assessment forms according to their needs. The grid interface simplifies the initiation of bulk responses and approvals for metric jobs, providing additional efficiency. In addition, Integrated Risk Management Lite Operators now have enhanced features that empower you to perform additional risk and compliance related operations more effectively.
Audit Management: Users can now efficiently manage their engagements through audit plans that span annual, semi-annual, quarterly and multi-year plans, offering flexibility and adaptable approaches. In addition, the risk assessment of auditable units was improved, allowing for better definition of scope based on the level of risk identified. To ensure accurate follow-up, the platform offers the ability to create engagement milestones, facilitating continuous monitoring of commitment progress, providing greater efficiency and transparency in operations.

In addition, the Risk process includes a Guided Manual for scheduling Risk Assessments and scoping Risks. This allows for easy customization of Risk Assessment screens and more. These enhancements give the Risk Manager greater flexibility to adapt the Risk Assessment process to the organization's requirements and terms.
User interface revamping for BCM (UI-Builder Workspace)
