Add entities manually from the Operational Resilience Workspace as an optional step once pillars, entity types, and entity filters are active. Entities are individual records matching your filter criteria. Automatic generation is recommended for most scenarios;
manual addition is available for exceptions.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_oper_res.admin, sn_oper_res.manager

## About this task

For automatic generation of the entities, see [Generate entities automatically using a scheduled job](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/HUNsHwF~PvBVXk28~ekI8g "Generate entities automatically via scheduled job once pillars, entity types, and entity filters are active. Entities are individual records matching your filter criteria. For actual entity creation, you should run the GRC Profile Generation scheduled job in the GRC: Profiles application rather than using entity filters.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to the WorkspacesOperational Resilience WorkspaceList view and select a business service or business process for which you want to generate entities.
2. To add a business service or business process, select New.  
   The example shows how to add a business service from the Operational Resilience Workspace.
3. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   The form for creating a business service is shown in the example. For information on the fields in the record form, see [Create Business Service form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/fBRAUkpYcLs5ZUk4vLavlA "Use the Create Business Service form in Operational Resilience Workspace to set up a business service and configure its related lists.") and [Create Business Process form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/kK7kSEowKsxKp190kZbCuw "Use the Create Business Process form in Operational Resilience Workspace to set up a business process and configure its related lists.").
4. Select Save.
5. To add a service or process to Operational Resilience reporting and create entities for the record manually, select Add to OpRes reporting in the record header.  
   The examples show the Add to OpRes reporting button from the Operational Resilience Workspace.

   A message is displayed that the service is added to Operational Resilience reporting. The record now appears as an entity in Operational Resilience.  
   Note:  
   Use manual addition only for exceptions or one-off additions that don't fit the filter criteria.
6. To view the entity record, select Go to entity from the record header.
