## Procedure

2. Select New.
3. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   For information about the fields, refer to [Assignment Configuration New Record](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Z73NEs7XOplPLh7mm3Iryw "Use the Assignment Configuration new record form to create auto-assignments for regulatory events of the type regulatory alert.").  
   Note:
