## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_wsd\_core.workplace\_user

## About this task

Reserve spaces for a period less than or equal to 24 hours on the day that you want to work from the office, either in a defined shift schedule or in your custom timings.

You can also access the reservation form from the Now Mobile app. Navigate to **Workplace Core** and choose one from **Reserve a shift and space for a day** or **Reserve a space for a day**.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Self-Service** > **Employee Center** > **Workplace services** > **Browse Workplace Services**.

    **Note:** You can also raise a request from the Employee Center. On the home page, navigate to **Workplace** > **Browse all Workplace** and select the workplace service.

2.  Reserve a space either for a defined day shift or a custom date.

    -   To reserve a space for a defined shift schedule, select **Reserve a shift and space for a day**.
    -   To reserve a space for custom timings, select **Reserve a space for a day**.
3.  On the Reserve a space form, fill in the fields.

    For a description of the field values, see [Reserve a space form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/workplace-core/reserve-space-form.md).

    **Note:** The visibility of some of the following fields depends on the application settings made by your administrator.

4.  If the **Area** and **Space** fields are available, select an area or a space that you want to reserve.

5.  Select **Submit**.
