Process Mining release notes
The ServiceNow® Process Mining application helps analysts and process owners quickly analyze and optimize their business processes.
About Process Mining
- See your real processes, not assumptions — automated discovery maps actual workflow paths from audit logs.
- Find where work breaks down — bottleneck and root-cause analysis pinpoint stalled approvals and rework.
- Accelerate value with proven templates — best-practice content packs give you ready-made starting points.
- Prove every change works — side-by-side comparisons confirm improvements and catch regressions.
- Govern humans and AI, together — trace performance across people, automations, and AI agents in one view.
See Process Mining for more information.
Activation and other requirements

Activation information
Process Mining is available by default. For details, see Access Process Mining.
Parent Topic:Platform Analytics release notes
Brazil Early Availability
The Brazil release delivers meter-based usage guardrails and a redesigned evaluation project experience so you can control costs and explore Process Mining risk-free. This release also adds automatic content packs and template management capabilities, deeper playbook analytics, and quick starters for transition and finding filters.
What's new
-
Meter-based usage guardrails and controls introduced
Configure table-level guardrails and mandatory filters to control entitlement usage and prevent unexpected overage charges. Projects with configured guardrails are automatically validated, capped, or flagged before mining starts.
-
Process Mining for Playbooks enhanced
Playbook projects are enhanced:
- to configure and analyze breakdowns based on the trigger record of a playbook
- to filter playbook executions by recency to focus on current performance trends
- to view execution-time histograms for each activity and phase to identify performance patterns and outliers
- to compare playbook variants on overall and per-activity efficiency
-
Evaluation project experience improved
Explore evaluation projects directly from the Process Mining workspace landing page, with guided onboarding that highlights key areas of the interface and suggests where to start exploring. Human Resources and Security Operations users get personal evaluation projects scoped to their own data access, so no administrator impersonation is required.
-
AI-assisted process configuration
Generate process configuration field values with AI directly from the process configuration header, then review, select, and confirm the suggested fields before applying them. Map states to stakeholder responsibilities with AI in the Process details step.
-
Launch Process Mining from any ServiceNow workspace
Create a Process Mining project directly from a list of records from any ServiceNow workspace.
-
Project sharing with edit rights
Share a project with other users as Can view or Can edit. Users with edit rights can modify the project definition and perform mining, but can't share or delete the project.
-
Contextual Task Mining project names
Task Mining projects launched from Process Mining include the triggering node or improvement opportunity name in the project name, making it easier to distinguish between multiple task mining projects.
-
Template creation and management introduced
Create multiple templates per table to support several distinct use cases instead of one generic configuration.
-
Preset filters for transitions introduced
Create filters from the available filters after selecting the Select quick starter from Process steps in Analyst workbench. This makes the process of creating filters easier and faster.
-
Three new system properties added
The following three system properties are added:
- promin.metered_usage.allow_unrestricted
- promin.metered_usage.warning_limit
- promin.workspace.hide_from_navigation
What's changed
-
Content packs availability changed
Access content packs for the following automatically when the corresponding application plugin is active and the associated table is present:
- IT Service Management
- Customer Service Management
- HR Service Delivery
- Strategic Portfolio Management
- Security Incident Response
- Field Service Management
What's deprecated or removed
-
Two APIs deprecated
The following two APIs are deprecated:
- promin.api.allow_no_role_mining
- promin.api.auto_share_project_with_creator
Plugin information
-
Renamed or changed plugins
