About this task

You can assign levels to an equipment model template for sorting purposes. For example, you can assign Site, Area, Work Center and other levels to the equipment, and designate the sorting sequence for each.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Industrial Workspace Admin > Industrial Process Manager > Equipment Model Template.
2. Select an equipment model template.
3. In the Template Levels related list, click New.
4. On the form, fill in the fields.

   Table 1. Template Level form

   Field	Description
   Level name	Name of the level to which you are assigning the equipment model. Examples include: Site An industrial site. Area An area in an industrial site. Work Center A work center in an industrial site.
   Parent	Identifier for the equipment model template level above this level. If left empty, this level is the top level in the model. For example, you can do the following actions: If you are creating a Site level, leave this field empty if it is the top level of the equipment model hierarchy that does not have a parent. If you are creating an Area level, and it is a child to the Site level, select Site as its parent. If you are creating a Work Center level, and it is a child to the Area level, select Area as its parent.
   Application	Selected application scope. Global appears if this scope is the global application scope.
   Template	Name of the selected equipment model template.
   Order	Number that indicates the position of the level in the equipment model hierarchy for sorting purposes. The smallest number entered represents the highest hierarchical level. For example, enter 1 for Site if the site represents the highest level in the hierarchy for the equipment model template.
