Create an inventory template for the logical composite in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application. You can use this template to instantiate a logical composite record and its related equipment and rack records.

## Use case {#creating-inventory-template-logical-composite__section_avh_fnk_3tb}

The following example shows an inventory template for a logical composite.
Figure 1. Inventory template for a logical composite  
The inventory model has inventory relationships such as Multi Chassis to Equipment and Multi Chassis to Rack attached to it.Figure 2. Example of the network relationship

After saving the inventory template, it creates the related equipment and rack templates depending on the count mentioned in the network model relationship.
Figure 3. Related templates of a logical composite template Figure 4. Details of a logical composite related template  
The default naming patterns of slot, subslot, and port records that are created under the equipment are as follows:{#creating-inventory-template-logical-composite__table_myc_blm_4dc__entry__2}

| Inventory record | Naming pattern |
|-|-|
| Slot | "slot-"+"chassis_position+"/"+position" |
| Subslot | "subslot-"+"chassis_position+"/"+equipment_slot_position+"/"+position" |
| Port | "port-"+chassis_position+"/"+equipment_slot_position+"/"+parent_slot_position+"/"+position" |
[Table 1. Naming pattern]
