Xanadu

</td><td>

-   **[Baseline reference on Target form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=target-form&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US)**

The **Baseline reference** field has been added to the Target form. You can use this field to compare future target performance to the actual value achieved either in the last year or before the target was created.

Yokohama

Zurich

</td><td>

-   **[Goal Framework and AI Control Tower](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=better-together-with-other-apps-gf&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Categorize your strategic priorities and goals as Artificial Intelligence to track and monitor strategy progress from the AI Control Tower workspace.

Use the **Type** field for strategic priorities and the **Category** field for goals to classify them as Artificial Intelligence and monitor their progress in the AI Control Tower workspace.

-   **[Role enhancements](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=components-installed-with-goal-framework&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

With the sn\_gf.goal\_admin role, you can edit any goal and target as needed, even when you aren’t the owner or contributor of a goal or target.

Brazil

</td><td>

-   **[Maintain-type targets](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=target-types-gf&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

Track targets that must hold a value for the whole period instead of growing or shrinking toward it. The **Type** field on a target has three new options: **Maintain above**, **Maintain below**, and **Maintain constant**.

For these types, target progress is the percentage of breakdown periods with actuals where the target was met. For example, if a Maintain above target is met in three of four quarters, its progress is 75%.

Maintain types are available only with quantitative units of measure. The **Target value distribution** field isn't shown for them.

-   **[Tolerance for Maintain constant targets](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-maintain-constant-tolerance&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

Set how far a Maintain constant target's actual value can move from the final target and still count as met. By default, an actual value within 5% of the final target, above or below, counts as met. Administrators can change the tolerance with the **sn\_gf.maintain\_constant\_tolerance\_percent** system property.

-   **[Unique numbers and prefixes for goals and targets](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=change-number-prefix-goals-targets&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

Match goal and target numbers to your organization's terminology, for example, OBJ and KR if you use objectives and key results. After an administrator changes the prefix in the number configuration, run the **GF - Override Goal and Target Number fields with customized prefixes** scheduled job to update existing records. The job keeps the numeric part of each number, so GOAL0004512 becomes OBJ0004512. It also skips records that already have the new prefix.

-   **Coral theme**

Coral is now the default theme for new portal, web, and mobile experiences with Next Experience or Core UI enabled. This theme provides a fresh look and feel, featuring brand-neutral illustrations to enhance your user experience. A dark theme option is available for web and mobile experiences.


 -   **[Active goals](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=defining-goals-using-goal-framework&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

By default, only active goals—those goals with the **Active** field set to **true**—are displayed in the **Goal** and **Parent goal** reference fields across all applicable tables.


</td></tr><tr><td>

Australia

</td><td>

-   **[Changes to Goal and Target forms](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=goal-form&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

The **Cancelled** option has been added to the **State** field in both the [Goal](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=goal-form&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) and [Target](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=target-form&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) forms, enabling you to set their status to **Cancelled** when needed.

-   **[Changes to Strategic Priority form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=strategic-priority-form&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

The **Status** field has been added to the Strategic Priority form, enabling you to set the status of a strategic priority as **None**, **Green**, **Yellow**, or **Red**.


</td></tr><tr><td>

Brazil

</td><td>

-   **[Target type editable when actuals exist](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=change-target-type-gf&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

You can change a target's **Type** after actual values have been recorded. Previously, the **Type** field became read-only once a target had progress. A confirmation message appears before the change is applied, and if you cancel, the **Type** goes back to its original value. Changing the **Type** clears the target's actual value and percent complete. The exceptions are changes between two Maintain types and changes to or from Milestone.

-   **[Type and unit of measure stay in sync](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=target-types-gf&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

Choosing a target **Type** sets a matching unit of measure:

    -   **Milestone**: Sets the unit of measure to Yes/No, or keeps a custom qualitative unit if one is already selected.
    -   **Maximize**, **Minimize**, or a Maintain type: Restores the last quantitative unit you used, or sets Count \(\#\) if there isn't one.
The **Type** list always shows all six types. The same pairing also applies to targets created or updated through imports or APIs.
