Industrial Standards release notes
The ServiceNow® Industrial Standards application provides a centralized, governed framework to define, publish, and maintain operational standards across plants and production lines. This application enables consistency through versioned definitions, reusable templates, and automated schedules that generate executable work. With clear life-cycle controls and skills‑aware enforcement, it improves quality, traceability, and compliance at scale. Industrial Standards is a new application in the Australia release.
Industrial Standards highlights for the Australia release
- Create and manage operational standards faster with a new authoring experience that includes built‑in guidance, validation, and structure rules.
- Find and compare standards efficiently using an enhanced Standards Hub with faster filtering and optimized layouts for any screen size.
- Align task generation with shift handovers and production calendars through scheduling engine improvements that include offset configuration and richer recurrence patterns.
- Skills‑based execution controls help to ensure that qualified operators are performing the designated work.
- Strengthen your audit process with a structured versioning model that logically categorizes standards across their life cycle.
