Add a loss scenario and define the related asset dependencies in your business continuity plan. You can then view the details of the assets in BCM UIB Workspace and then plan a recovery strategy for an identified loss scenario.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_bcm.admin, sn_bcm.program_manager, or sn_bcm.planner

## About this task

If the plan was created from a plan template, loss scenarios may already be pre-configured. When the plan template's "Synchronize loss scenario assets with recovery strategy assets" option is enabled, asset lists are kept in
sync with the recovery strategy automatically.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to WorkspacesBusiness Continuity Workspace.
2. In the List view, navigate to Planning and select the link to the plan record in the Name column.
3. Select the Loss scenarios tab and select Add.  
   You can add a loss scenario to the business continuity plan. For example, you can add the "Loss of Datacenters" loss scenario to a business continuity plan.  
   The loss scenario record is displayed as shown in the example.

4. Navigate to Related asset dependencies tab and select Add.  
   You can add the related asset dependencies to the loss scenario as shown in the example.

5. Select the dependencies from the list and select Add.  
   You can add the dependencies to the loss scenario as shown in the example.

6. Select Save.  
   The related asset dependencies are listed on the Related asset dependencies tab.  
   Starting with the Australia release of the application, the Loss scenario record has the following related lists:
   * Task template groups
   * Task templates
   * Recovery strategies
   * Plan templates
   {#add-loss-scenario-recovery-task-bcp-uib-ws__ul_hyh_hbg_mjc}

## What to do next

After the loss scenario is created, you can populate its Recovery tasks tab in bulk by selecting Add groups or Add tasks. The Select task template groups dialog automatically filters by the loss scenario's element definition (for example, only groups applicable to Datacenters are shown for a Loss of Datacenters scenario). For field-level details, see [Add recovery tasks](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/CvSDnrh2xXv9gsIDBIz41Q "Add a recovery task as part of the planned recovery strategy. You can add one or more recovery tasks for a loss scenario and those recovery tasks are displayed in the loss scenario itself. Automate the recovery tasks in a plan for a faster recovery.").
