Create a personalized allocation board to manage your filtered resources in terms of
their capacity, availability, and utilization.

## About this task

Important:  
Allocation workbench is being deprecated starting Xanadu release. It will be hidden and no longer available for installation but will continue to be supported. For details, see the [Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\]](https://hi.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0867184) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

Resource Managers are encouraged to use the [Resource Management Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/g2pIzEYOQqSn2L4Pmy0arg "The ServiceNow Resource Management Workspace helps Resource Managers have a centralized view of all work across all resources.") to allocate, approve, and manage resource assignments. Resource Management Workspace is a dedicated workspace view for Resource Managers where you get the insights about unassigned tasks, heatmap view of resource bandwidth, custom view to handle priority resource
assignment requests, and so on.

Define filter criteria to create your board. You can modify the details of an existing board or delete an unused board.

Step 1 provides you the navigation to Allocation Workbench. Choose step 2, 3, or 4 to create, update, or delete a board.

An allocation board groups resources based on filter criteria. Opening a board shows the list of resources under that criteria in the allocation workbench.
