Create and configure custom artifacts of your choice to use the Localization Framework functionality.

## Before you begin

Ensure that you are in the application scope that you want for your custom artifact.

Role required: localization_admin and script_include_admin.

## About this task

From the Zurich release, your custom artifacts can be made available in [Localization Workspace](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/dHGng1GgKEqZWAY~mdZesw "Localization Workspace is a targeted translation management experience for content owners and translation requesters. With Localization Workspace you can manage and deliver multilingual content at scale."). For information about making custom artifacts selectable in Localization Workspace translation requests, see [Dynamic artifact detection in Localization Workspace](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ykeZimj~MKlDbC~NHXd7Hg "With Dynamic artifact detection, Localization Workspace identifies all translatable content, including your custom artifacts.").

## Procedure

1. Ensure that you are in the application scope that you want for your custom artifact, and navigate to AllLocalization FrameworkArtifact Configurations \[sn_lf_config\].
2. Select New.
3. In the Artifact Configuration form, fill in the fields.
