2.  Select **Submit an emergency maintenance request** record form.

    A workplace case is created and it is assigned automatically to the Workplace Event Planners assignment group.

For more information, see [View emergency maintenance case details](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/workplace-case-management/view-emergency-maint-case.md).

    When the emergency maintenance request case is assigned to a orkplace Event Planners assignment group, the AI agentic workflow **Manage temporary space closures** is triggered. The team of AI agents block a workspace location for maintenance. AI agents create a record in the sn\_wsd\_core\_block\_location table for blocking a location. If there are any impacted reservations for a blocked location, AI agents move any existing reservations to a new location.For more information, see [Manage temporary space closures agentic workflow](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/now-assist-for-wsd/maintenance-meeting-room-agent-ai.md).
