If the UNSPSC classification for any firmware that is embedded into your OT assets
isn't already represented in the Enterprise Asset Management
Content Service, create a custom UNSPSC classification.

## Before you begin

Important:  
You can create custom UNSPSC classifications only using the OT Asset Workspace. To use the OT Asset Workspace, install the OT Asset Management application on your ServiceNow instance. See [Install OT Asset Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Ueo3BBfylKvColCAI1sHCg "You can install the OT Asset Management application (com.sn_otam) if you have the admin role. The application includes demo data and installs related ServiceNow Store applications and plugins if they aren’t already installed.") for detailed instructions.

Role required: sn_eam.enterprise_admin
