Practical Considerations for ServiceNow Customers
- Ensure compatibility with the Workplace Core tables such as neighborhoods by updating to recent versions (notably from version 1.19.0 onward).
- Review and configure system properties to tailor map filters and auto-refresh settings according to organizational needs.
- Leverage accessibility improvements to meet compliance requirements and enhance user experience.
- Utilize the interactive map features to provide employees with intuitive reservation options and streamline workplace space management.
- Organizations, including government agencies, must ensure compliance with applicable laws and internal policies when implementing the application and modify any provided templates accordingly, as ServiceNow does not provide legal advice or guarantee compliance.

By deploying Workplace Space Mapping, ServiceNow customers can expect improved space reservation accuracy, enhanced employee experience through interactive floor maps, efficient space management for workplace administrators, and compliance with accessibility standards.
