    View availability results
    Use the redesigned service availability calculator for improved availability performance, calculations, and maintenance. To access the new calculator, you must enable the com.snc.availability.v2 system property. New customers automatically get the updated redesigned version, but existing customers must set the property to true to opt in.
    Create catalog items for service offering subscribers
    Link catalog item record producers to service offerings. The service offering items orderable by subscribers related list shows general information for the related catalog items. The added attribute, Class, indicates if the catalog item is a record producer. When you select Edit in the Items orderable by subscribers related list, a list of record producers is provided along with the catalog items.
    Note:
    To identify if a catalog item is a Class type record producer, enter sc_cat_item_producer.list in the Filter navigation field.
    Applying the CSDM guidelines to Service Portfolio Management
    Use the CSDM life-cycle fields in Service Portfolio Management to manage the end-to-end life cycle of services and service offerings. The shared field names provide you with consistency and alignment as you use other ServiceNow applications.
    Service Portfolio Management activation administration
    Install the Service Portfolio Management Foundation plugin by default on the ServiceNow AI Platform user interface. Prior to the Vancouver release, the Service Portfolio Management Foundation plugin [com.snc.service_portfolio] required a standard ServiceNow® IT Service Management license.
