features on this one weren't listed other than multivaria anomalies so I don't have any screenshots or any other details to tell you what the heck this is I have a feeling it's a component of

workspace for HR case management updated to version wait for it 2.0.1 and this one it's a fix but we had a ton of them so I left it in the highlights fulfillment instructions show an error when a KB article created from the template is attached to it creating a case from an HR profile when opened for a four subject person is pre-filled deep links on a workspace few case fields are clearing out when creating a case reply button and activity stream does not work as expected category picker does not work in knowledge form an internal server error when searching for users in the create case page so quite a few fixes in that one I bet more than one of them if you've upgraded to version two you might be looking for this 2.0.1 update next on the list is going to be calendly spoke got updated to version 1.1.1 added actions for cancel event lookup user invite user organization and look up event change the spoke icon upgraded actions for lookup organization remove user from organization with latest design pattern and removed lookup organization remove user from organization so quite a few updates even though it is a minor release for that one up next Chronicle data export uh could include that last word there application updated to version 1.2.0 they deprecated the audit log feature and it now supports San Diego Tokyo and Utah up next on the list is cmdb cmdbci class models got updated to version 1.47.0 there's a new PCF PCF boss data model I have no idea what that means IBM web seal rest API data model and added a related list for change requests on OT assets so that's what's due in that one Discovery and service mapping patterns got updated to version 1.6.0 and this is a big one there's that web seal and icam creation pattern to support version 9.x and above implemented mid bypass proxy property Azure VM scale set Discovery pattern created a relationship between Azure regular VM instance and VM scale set added PCF Bosch resources to the existing Cloud Foundry pattern based on new opsman API functionality it's so weird to say all this and have no idea what I'm saying Ms sqldb on Windows pattern collected Ms SQL components editions using Ms SQL report utility Azure vmlp pattern will be changed the trigger after data center Discovery rather than Hardware type all of that right over Justin said you can see there's a lot a lot a lot of fixes I'm not going to try to read through all these I would lose my voice but essentially if you're using Discovery Discovery patterns kubernetes you can see there there's some changes the stuff was removed lots and lots of updates in this version of the discovery and service mapping pattern so go take a look at that one if you're a discovery customer you may have been waiting for one of those things and now you can have it so that's what's new on that one next up environmental health and safety uh didn't catch the last word again incident investigation upgraded to version 6.2.2 and this one new workspace user experience a report an EHS incident from the serenity workspace employee manager homepages a new EHS incident Center within the serenity workspace new workspace experience for EHS into the lifecycle including signature to close new injury slash illness card and Playbook experience new body part picker hmm body part picker I'm not sure about that one I'm sure I'm sure what it's supposed to be there but it's just it reads weird new workspace experience for Witness accounts all right so that's what's new with that one up next health log analytics got updated to version 27.0.7 there's some new features supporting giving or support giving ml feedback to stop generating unimportant alerts from multiple components of the application service user notification displayed

analytics itsm success dashboard indicators got updated to version 4.1.3 they've added a new admin console cost savings new contextual side panels and a new kpi so I'm actually I think I marked this one as a potential video candidate because I think that should be something I'm able to take a look at in my uh test environment or PDI and show you what that looks like but a bunch of new updates in there around the itsm success dashboard indicators jira spoke got an update to a version number 4.2.0 added actions for Add Water delete Watcher and lookup Watchers I left this as not a minor update because I feel like this is a feature enhancement to the spoke and somebody they have been wanting to um add watch or delete watch or look up Watchers now I'm not sure which side of things that is is that a servicenow watcher or a zero Watcher if you know leaving this let us a note in the comments which which side of the fence is that watching going on up next legal simple contracts got updated to version number 5.1.2 there's new support for wet signatures oh well you know what so this is interesting um May 4th was the day that like all the you know well Star Wars Day number one but it's also the day that most of the store releases came out for servicenow for Q2 this one did not show up until this past crawl I have no idea why it didn't show up and I'll even show you we'll open up the um the application I'm not making stuff up my crawler I was working fine it's just that there was an update in February and then this May 4th update didn't show up until June the 6th when I ran my crawler which is it's updating the or loading the application which will load my version history related list on the bottom so not sure what happened there but let's take a look at the features supporting what signature support for a configurable system property to enable executed contract audit certificate Google Drive supports NDA as well as third party third-party contract review for creating storing revisions and adding attachment to all composing emails and for third-party third-party contact contract intake forms that generate document form template options should not be enabled so that was what was new it didn't make it into my Q2 store release episode and you can see here here's the application legal simple contracts we look at the version histories there was a version 4.2.2 in November 5.0.3 on February 9th and 5.1.2 I didn't see until June the 6th so I'm not sure what happened if it's something wrong with my system but this thing wasn't there until June the 6th and I have no idea why so um we'll just leave it at that that's the legal simple contracts um got updated in May or June we don't know but it's updated so go take a look at it Microsoft Azure directory spoke got updated to version 4.1.0 they added actions for ad owners to group AD devices to group delete group look up subscribe skus and look up subscribe skew not plural so again like my other spokes there was a those are enhancements to me so I didn't want to include it in the minor update and make you aware of it Microsoft Sentinel got an update to version 1.0.12 any incidents created are going ahead to servicenow will have a suffix Sentinel Dash won't affect existing instance if there are any blank incidents creating service now you can now attach this snow number as a tag to any of the existing new Sentinel incidents so that servicenow record gets updated in the next job run with all the details and if there's a next an existing servicenow incident with a blank correlation ID and if you want to use a particular Sentinel incident and copy paste the correlation ID value which is the good value from Sentinel internet URL field to servicenow incident this will update snow incident with details from Sentinel to servicenow on the next job run and there are some minor fixes and logging changes and that's from Microsoft Sentinel up next on the list now mobile

the same light items for sap next on the list is going to be pager Duty spoke got an update to version number 1.3.1 added about 50 actions to align with paider duties core business functions um didn't
