# Associate areas and spaces with a shift

Associate work areas and spaces with a shift in Workplace Core so that they are available only for that shift. Workplace managers can later reserve these workplaces for employees operating in that shift.

## Before you begin

-   [Define shifts for your workplace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/workplace-core/create-shifts-wsd.md).
-   Ensure you have the data for the workplaces to be made available for this shift.
-   Ensure that the glide.ui.list.allow\_extended\_fields system property is set to **true** so that the filter criteria is displayed appropriately when you're adding areas or spaces.

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

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workplace Safety Management** > **Shift Management** > **All**.

2.  Open a shift to which you want to add employees.

3.  In the Locations related list, select **Edit**.

4.  Add all the areas and spaces to be made available for this shift.

5.  Select **Save**.
