# Add or remove scopes from an optimization batch

# Add or remove scopes from an optimization batch {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Add a scope to a batch to include it in optimization runs, or remove a scope to reduce the number of scopes the batch contains.

## Before you begin

To add a scope, create it first. See [Create a scope for Schedule Optimization](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/k0tshckFlR4sv4v12fQlJw "Create a scope to define which technicians and tasks a Schedule Optimization batch includes.").

Role required: wm_admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSchedule OptimizationBatches.
2. Select the optimization batch that you want to add or remove a scope from.
3. In the Optimization Scopes tab, select Edit.
4. Select the scope.
5. Add or remove the scope:
   * To add the scope, select Add.
   * To remove the scope, select Remove.
   {#add-remove-scopes-batch__choices_y54_zq2_svb}
6. Select Save.  
   Note:  
   When you add an existing scope, a copy of the scope is created and linked to the batch. If the scope is used in more than one batch, schedule the batches so their run times don't overlap. For more information, see [Schedule Optimization batches and scopes](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/FHN0eFwqRY9apTQqaRSuZw "Learn how batches and scopes work together to control when Schedule Optimization runs and which technicians and tasks it considers.").

## Result

The batch includes the scope you added, or no longer includes the scope you removed.
