## New features

Between your current release family and Australia, new features were introduced for Digital End-User Experience.

Release

Release notes

Yokohama

Digital End-user Experience Self-service (DEX Self-service) enables you to check the performance of your device using a Device health check. You can check the device health on demand and resolve the issues detected by DEX by leveraging the recommended resolutions for the issues. The resolutions can either be remedial actions (that you can trigger via a button), self-help instructions, or URL. You can also use Device actions which can be triggered even when no issues are detected on the device.  These actions enable you to maintain good performance of the devices and applications

Zurich

Exercise tighter control over the role management system and role delegation. Control who has access to Express list, Alerts, and Incident records after the ITIL-related roles have been removed from the dex_user or dex_engineer roles.

View detailed metrics for the Microsoft Teams calls of a particular user, including call quality, network metrics, and session data, with DEX for Microsoft 365.

Access the Create Remedial Action page from the DEX Administration workspace. DEX admins can create a remedial action or link to an existing remedial action to a check definition. To enhance the end-user experience, you can also run the remedial action on multiple impacted devices at once.

View real-time data from the past 24 hours for alerts, change requests, and incidents impacting a device in the Device events Timeline chart on the Device health page.

Australia

Service desk agents can diagnose and resolve Zoom call quality issues using the DEX issue diagnosis and resolution agentic workflow, which integrates Zoom-specific diagnostics that correlate device, network, and application data.

Generate an insights report from event log data collected by the DEX agent.

Save useful queries as named reports in the Insights reporting area to preserve them for future use. After you save a report, it appears in the left navigation panel for quick access. IT operators, L2 analysts, DEX engineers, and administrators can save, name, and retrieve reports. Role-based access controls restrict save and retrieval operations to the DEX Engineer and Administrator roles.

Use Now Assist for Zoom call issues to identify the root cause of call quality degradation and review the supporting metric evidence for deeper insight. The analysis highlights the contributing device and network factors directly in the Zoom call quality view. Get the real-time guidance, including device ready remedial actions, contextual self-help instructions, and relevant knowledge articles to help resolve the issue efficiently.

Monitor device boot time to identify slow start-up issues and use Now Assist to investigate the root cause and get suggested resolutions, including remedial actions, self-help instructions, and knowledge articles to resolve boot performance problems quickly.

The ServiceNow AI Platform now brings you a new AI experience with three licensing tiers available:

-   Foundation: AI basics to deliver insights
-   Advanced: AI to boost productivity across relevant use cases
-   Prime: Act autonomously with all AI assets, and create your own

Depending on your license, you will have access to certain application features, generative AI skills, agentic workflows, and AI agents.

Release notes

Yokohama

Several user interface improvements have been made to help enhance usability and make navigation more intuitive, leading to a better overall user experience.

Zurich

  • 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.

Map a DEX application to an existing service in the Service [cmdb_service_offering] or Service Instance [cmdb_service_auto] tables.

Manage the DEX device and application configurations efficiently with the new DEX Administration workspace.

The Suboptimal devices column has been updated in the following pages:

-   Application health metrics section of the application experience overview page.
-   Device health metrics section of the device group page.

The column now displays links to device lists that have average or poor metric scores, replacing the previous device count.

  • Modified Devices page - The device view is now optimized and segregated into two tabs based on the user persona. The All devices tab is for DEX operators, and the Devices by ACC status tab is for DEX operators and DEX admins. - The application performance tab in the Device page has been enhanced. Filter performance for installed apps and web apps by date and time, and view the performance metrics for the last seven days. - Access the performance page to view the performance and details of both installed and web applications. - Filter the active devices to view only the devices that were active in the last five minutes.
  • Updated landing page

The world map in the Devices section on the DEX landing page now shows the devices list instead of users list. The Impacted Devices card now shows the count of impacted users based on the alerts of both the devices and the applications running on that device.

The user link now redirects to Users page in Service Operations Workspace.

View alerts for both your device and its applications in the Alerts section of the Devices page.
