   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Neighborhood | Neighborhood name that the spaces are assigned to. |
   | Table | By default, the following tables are available. * Cost Center/Department \[sn_wsd_spcmgmt_location_cc_dept_map\] * Room \[sn_wsd_core_room\] * Room \[sn_wsd_core_room\] {#view-neighborhood-core__ul_f5n_2jd_cwb} |
   | Filter | Filter to show the number of matching records that match the conditions in the condition builder. The space planner can assign spaces in a neighborhood based on department, business unit, cost center, or group. For more information about filters, see [Filter condition builder](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-cond-state-using-cond-build&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US). |
   | State | The space assignment request state moves from Open to Work in progress and then when spaces are assigned, the state moves to closed. |
   | Workplace task sub type | * Append: Add this space to an existing list of spaces in a neighborhood. * Remove all and replace: Available spaces are removed (already available spaces on the Spaces tab) from a neighborhood. Add new spaces that match the filter condition builder. {#view-neighborhood-core__ul_yzm_jhg_fwb} |

   {#view-neighborhood-core__table_tll_rhg_fwb}
9. Select Submit.  
   The employee is added (auto-assigned) to a selected neighborhood. Employees belonging to an indicated hierarchy (auto-assigned), or employees that are added manually (on demand) can interact with a neighborhood.
10. Select the Execute User Assignments tab to trigger all assignment rules (users to added or removed space allocation) to this neighborhood directly.  
    Figure 1. Neighborhood showing allocated spaces and users  
    Note:  
    Neighborhood assignments are applicable if Neighborhood is selected as the group by or view by option in a scenario or building overview. Location assignments are applicable for all other options.  
    By default, the Execute User Assignment scheduled job runs daily or weekly on an instance. You may want to run it for the first time directly. When you run the scheduled job for each user, a workplace profile record is created (if it's not in your instance already), and the neighborhood is assigned to that workplace profile.
    * When an employee is assigned to a neighborhood, a workplace profile is created.
    * Neighborhoods are assigned to a workplace profile, even if an employee has multiple workplace profiles. All neighborhood assignments are done only on one workplace profile.
    * An employee can be assigned to multiple neighborhoods. Each assignment is a separate record in the Workplace Profile Location Assignment Related list on the workplace profile form.
    * The changes are captured in the execution details table and the changes are mentioned as type Allocation.
    * If new spaces are assigned to a neighborhood, the spaces are updated in the neighborhood record.
    * If spaces are removed from a neighborhood, the neighborhood record is updated when you run the execute user assignment task.Workplace Profile records are updated, added, or removed. A move task is
      initiated for employees who have a new space allocation and who are moved from one floor to another.
