If you use conflict detection, the planned start and end dates and the configuration item (CI) are required. Nota: If the UI16 module link redirection feature is enabled in Service Operations Workspace (SOW) and the UI16 module supports the redirect configuration, navigating through UI16 paths automatically redirects you to the equivalent list or record pages in SOW instead of displaying the UI16 forms or lists. For more information, see [Redirect UI16 module links to Service Operations Workspace](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Ope6CQwKv4HrogZeNO~iMQ "Redirect classic UI16 module navigation links to the equivalent Service Operations Workspace (SOW) experience."). ## Procedimento 1.
