# Using Capacity in Strategic Planning Workspace

View and analyze the resource capacity for your portfolio to plan and re-forecast the resource assignments.

## Before you begin

Generate resource capacity using [manage resource capacity](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/scenario-planning-in-spw/manage-rsrc-cap-spw.md).

Role required: sn\_align\_ws.spw\_capacity\_user

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Strategic Planning Workspace**.

2.  Select a plan from Portfolio Plans.

3.  Select **Planning** > **Capacity**.

4.  Define a resource criteria by selecting a primary attribute from the list.

    If you select Group, all the available groups from the resource assignments of the prioritized planning items are automatically displayed in the Auto-select option. You can add or remove the suggestions to view the resource capacity using the Manual-select option.

    **Tip:** You can always redefine and change the resource criteria to view custom results using the **Resource criteria** \(\[Omitted image "cp-resource-criteria-button.png"\] Alt text: Resource criteria button.\) button.
