  • ServiceNow Otto is the new name for the Now Assist experience in Operational Sustainability Management. All Now Assist references have been updated to ServiceNow Otto.
  • You can group manual, calculated, and automated metrics into a campaign by entity, group, or both. When bulk actions are enabled, you can move an entire campaign through its lifecycle as a single unit, instead of tracking each metric independently.
  • Set a variance base value for a metric, so percentage-based threshold calculations stay meaningful even without prior-period data or if the previous value is zero.
  • Edit calculated metric definition formulas after execution and apply updated formulas from a specific date, preserving historical data integrity with formula versioning.
  • Use the AI reporting assistant in Document designer to generate report content from ServiceNow data using prompts directly within Microsoft Word.
  • Perform CSRD-compliant double materiality assessments in Socialsuite and automatically sync the results with the Operational Sustainability Management application.

See Environmental, Social, and Governance Management (formerly Environmental, Social, and Governance) for more information.
