As a last step, you can optionally add a network interface template to a child and daughter card template in the Network Inventory Workspace Lists view.

## Procedure {#adding-network-interface-template-child-daughter-card__section_zwf_5nk_3tb}

The following example shows a network interface template that was added to a child or daughter card.  
Figure 1. Inventory Template - Network Interface Card  
Note:  
Not all inventory templates have a relationship with a network interface template. Some equipment inventory templates only have a single network interface relationship, while some interface card templates don't have any relationship to slots as a parent. However, an equipment and interface card template must have those many slots or interfaces defined as per their model relationship.

## What's next {#adding-network-interface-template-child-daughter-card__section_swn_gkk_3tb}

You're done with creating inventory template relationships for this piece of equipment. To create another inventory template for another piece of equipment, do the following actions:

1. Create a default template for use in that inventory template relationship sequence.
2. Proceed to the Creating an inventory template for the equipment model topic, and repeat the entire process again. To learn more, see [Create an inventory template for the equipment model](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jDbr9WReGzSfEa4jdsdw6g "In the Inventory Template form in the Network Inventory Workspace Lists view, you can create an inventory template for the equipment model.").
