# Get Used Capacity

Use this action after configuring [Capacity Meters](/kb/routing/capacity_meters.md) to check a Gradient Works Queue User's current used capacity, giving you more control before performing assignments.

Access the user's calculated capacity in the `usedCapacity` output. You can then use this value in Decisions in your Flow to determine whether or not a user has available capacity to be assigned an item or not.

## Configuration

{% tab title="Apex Properties" %}
Please note that you will not directly interact with these input fields as you do with some Flow Actions. Instead the Gradient Works custom editor takes care of the heavy lifting.
