# Update capacity value and reservation for a territory in capacity console

The Capacity Console provides flexibility for capacity planners and managers to modify capacity value and reservation rule for better allocation of resources. Reservations determine the demand channels applicable and the percentage allocation of capacity for each channel on a given day.

## Before you begin

Role required: fsm\_adv\_cap\_mgmt.wm\_capacity\_planner, sn\_fsm\_capacity\_mg.wm\_capacity\_write

## About this task

Use contextual side panel \(CSP\) to:

-   **Update capacity value**: Capacity values can be modified for hours and tasks but not for agent schedules. Agent schedule values are dynamically calculated and cannot be adjusted manually.
-   Create or modify reservation: The CSP allows two types of reservation updates:

    -   **Create a new reservation**: Use this option to define a new reservation and apply it to the selected context.
    -   **Override reservation**: Replace the current reservation with another from the existing list.
    **Note:** The **Copy & Modify Reservation** option is available only in the Territory Summary section.


## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **CSM/FSM configurable workspace** > **Capacity console**.

2.  Select the **Group by** filter and choose **Territory**.

3.  Locate the **Summary** row or an event for a specific duration within the territory.

4.  Click on an event or data row in the calendar.

    The Territory summary page appears in the contextual side panel.

5.  To update the capacity value, select the Edit \[Omitted image "edit-mobile-icon.png"\] Alt text: Edit icon icon and change the value in terms of hours or tasks in whichever way the capacity definition is defined.

6.  To change the applied reservation, select the Actions \[Omitted image "more\_actions.png"\] Alt text: Actions icon. icon and click **Override Reservation**.

    1.  In the **Reservation** field, select an existing reservation from the drop-down menu.

        Example: Base Rule for All Territories.

    2.  Click **Apply Override** to enforce the selected rule.

7.  To create a new reservation by making a copy of current reservation, select **Copy & Modify Reservation**.

    1.  In the **New reservation name** field, enter the reservation name.

    2.  Change the values of the reservation as needed or add and remove demand channels.

        Example: Fiber Repair: 25% with a maximum overflow of 100%.

    3.  Click **Apply modified reservation**.

    -   Adjust the reservation to allocate 10% capacity for Copper Repair and 30% for Fiber Repair.
    -   Save the modified reservation to apply changes for the selected day.
2.  Capacity assignment of type hours - Scenario: San Diego \(Monthly assignment\)
    -   Modify the fixed capacity value \(e.g., reduce from 200 hours to 180 hours\).
    -   Change the reservation to better align with the long-term capacity plan.
