# Create workplace reservations for an employee

Create workplace reservations for an employee in the Workplace Core application using the shifts and shift schedules that you defined.

## Before you begin

-   [Define shifts for your workplace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/workplace-core/create-shifts-wsd.md).
-   [Assign employees to a shift](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/workplace-core/associate-employees-with-shifts-wsd.md).
-   [Associate areas and spaces with a shift](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/workplace-core/associate-workspaces-with-shifts-wsd.md).
-   [Define the capacity of workplace areas](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/workplace-core/define-capacity-of-workplace-areas-wsd.md)
-   Ensure you have the data that shows the mapping of employees to the workplaces in your workplace.

**Important:** Starting with Workplace Core \(sn\_wsd\_core\) version 2.1, all updates and new features are available only on the Workplace Service Portal. The workplace services provided by ServiceNow® are removed from the Service Portal on Workplace Core \(sn\_wsd\_core\) beginning with version 2.1. To configure the Workplace service catalog in the Service Portal, see [Configure a catalog in Service Portal](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-user-interface/associate-portal-catalog.md).
