# Activate Change Management - Core

You can activate the Change Management - Core plugin \(com.snc.change\_management\) if you have the admin role. This plugin includes demo data and activates related plugins if they are not already active.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

This plugin will update the Type field on the Change Request to have the values as Normal, Standard, or Emergency.

The Type value on existing the Change Requests will be updated as following:

|Before installing the plugin|After installing the plugin|
|----------------------------|---------------------------|
|Routine|Standard|
|Comprehensive|Normal|
|Emergency|Emergency|

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **System Applications** > **All Available Applications** > **All**.

2.  Find the plugin using the filter criteria and search bar.

    You can search for the plugin by its name or ID. If you cannot find a plugin, you might have to request it from ServiceNow personnel.

3.  Select **Install** to start the installation process.

    **Note:** When domain separation and delegated admin are enabled in an instance, the administrative user must be in the **global** domain. Otherwise, the following error appears: `Application installation is unavailable because another operation is running: Plugin Activation for <plugin name>.`

    You will see a message after installation is completed. For information about the components installed with a plugin, see [Find components installed with an application](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/find-components.md).
