Read this summary of the new features, changes, and updated information for your product from Yokohama to Australia.\n\n**Tip:** If there were no updates for a release notes section in a certain family release, we included a short note for your reference. For example, if a product did not have any updates in Tokyo, the row says \"No updates for this release.\"\n\n## Important information for upgrading Hardware Asset Management to Australia\n\nBefore you upgrade to Australia, review these pre- and post-upgrade tasks and complete the tasks as needed.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nYokohama\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nZurich\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **Upgrade information**\n    -   Starting from the Zurich release, a few workflows have been migrated to Workflow Studio as flows.\n\n**Note:** The migration of workflows to Workflow Studio applies to Asset Management, Procurement, and Contract Management applications.\n\n        -   The following workflows have been migrated to Workflow Studio as flows:\n            -   Procurement Process Flow – Hardware\n            -   Transfer Order\n            -   Transfer Order Line\n            -   Source Request\n            -   Contract Approval\n        -   When upgrading to the Zurich release, a fix script identifies whether the workflows were customized and takes necessary action.\n            -   If the workflows weren’t customized before the upgrade, the legacy workflows are deactivated from the instance, and Workflow Studio flows are installed and executed post-upgrade.\n            -   If the impacted workflows were customized before the upgrade, the Workflow Studio flows are installed but aren’t executed for any of the impacted flows post-upgrade. You can view and access the impacted workflows in the instance after the upgrade. However, the deprecated workflows are considered custom code and aren’t supported for maintenance.\n    -   After upgrading to the Zurich release, if an approval history record exists for a contract that is no longer required, reject the record instead of deleting it. If the approval history record is deleted, Workflow Studio doesn’t support updating the contract’s **Substate** field value to display the correct state.\n    -   Starting with Zurich release, a new menu, Asset put away, has been added to the ServiceNow Agent app navigation bar. When upgrading to the Zurich release, a fix script identifies whether the ServiceNow Agent app navigation bar was customized and takes the necessary action.\n        -   If the navigation bar wasn’t customized before the upgrade, a new Asset put away icon \\(\\[Omitted image \"image.asset-putaway-icon-ma\"\\] Alt text: Asset put away icon\\) is included in the navigation bar\n        -   If the navigation bar was customized before the upgrade, two navigation bars appear: Customized old IT Asset Management and IT Asset Management. The new icon appears in the IT Asset Management navigation bar.\n    -   A new role, sn\\_itam\\_recomm.recommendations\\_read, helps ensure that only valid users can execute APIs related to the Important Actions menu in the Asset Workspace. The following roles, which have access to the Asset Workspace, now include the sn\\_itam\\_recomm.recommendations\\_read role:\n        -   procurement\\_user\n        -   inventory\\_admin\n        -   inventory\\_user\n        -   model\\_manager\n        -   contract\\_manager\n        -   itil\n        -   catalog\\_manager\n        -   catalog\\_admin\n        -   sam\n        -   ham\\_user\n        -   asset\n    -   Control sensitive data leakage from range queries accessed by unauthenticated users through the following access control lists \\(ACLs\\):\n        -   Contract \\[ast\\_contract\\] table: Only users with the contract\\_manager role can perform the query\\_range operation on the Start date, Contract number, PO number, and Vendor columns.\n        -   Contract user M2M \\[clm\\_m2m\\_contract\\_user\\] table: Only users with the contract\\_manager and asset roles can perform the query\\_range operation on the Contract and User columns.\n        -   HAMP Success Activity \\[sn\\_hamp\\_success\\_activity\\] table: Only users with the ham\\_admin and asset roles can perform the query\\_range operation on the Description, Short description, and Success goals columns.\n    -   Only users with the admin role can update the following system properties:\n        -   glide.sg.voice\\_search.enabled\n        -   glide.ui.sn\\_hamp\\_asset\\_reclaim\\_task\\_activity.fields\n        -   glide.ui.sn\\_hamp\\_loaner\\_asset\\_order\\_activity.fields\n        -   glide.ui.sn\\_hamp\\_ztr\\_task\\_activity.fields\n        -   sn\\_hamp.enable\\_shipping\\_carrier\\_validation\\_asn\n        -   sn\\_hamp.model\\_lifecycle\\_phase\\_order\n        -   sn\\_hamp.update\\_assets\\_norm\\_model\\_name\n    -   A new system property, **sn\\_itam\\_restrict\\_asset\\_read**, introduced in Zurich Patch 12, controls read access to the Asset \\[alm\\_asset\\] table and its child tables for users with only the snc\\_internal role. When set to **true**, these users can only read asset records assigned to them or where they are referenced in fields such as Reserved for, Managed by, or Owned by. Users with any additional role retain full read access. By default, this property is set to **false**.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nAustralia\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **Upgrade information**\n    -   To enhance security and manage admin access precisely, the granular admin roles are now installed.

Additionally, content can be enlarged without scrolling in two dimensions at a width equivalent to 320 CSS pixels or a height equivalent to 256 CSS pixels. Page layouts are transformed into a vertical, stacked view automatically when users increase browser zoom to 400%. This enhancement helps users with low vision or who have trouble seeing web content in a browser due to monitor size, device type, poor lighting, or other situations. Reflow can be turned off with a system property for instances, experiences, and pages.
