Create equipment model templates to characterize equipment models or organize data by grouping similar entities.  
An equipment model template consists of the following components:

Equipment model template
:   Name and description of the equipment model template.

Equipment model template hierarchical levels
:   Assigned hierarchical levels that are used to sort and structure the equipment model
    data.

Equipment model template hierarchical level types
:   Types that represent different types of the areas, functions, or production processes
    within a hierarchical level.

To learn more about equipment templates and see a graphic example of their structure, see [ISA-95 equipment model](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/NURTxiMdbHkOwVZSJQjHUA "The ISA-95 equipment model is an industry standard for organizing industrial facilities and their production equipment. Use it to define hierarchical equipment structures with distinct levels and type options at each level.") and [Defining equipment model templates](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/5XD0qabvxO8jeWKxwOIksA "Create templates that you can assign to the equipment model entities that you created in the ServiceNow AI Platform. You can use these templates to characterize an equipment model or structure the data that describes your physical industrial facility by grouping similar types of equipment model entities.").
