Import equipment models and inventory templates together in a single operation using JSON format in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application.

In scenarios where models and templates are exported from external network management systems, JSON is a more natural and efficient format. The import models and templates in JSON format feature lets you bring both models and
templates together in a single import operation using a JSON file. The JSON import supports Equipment Model, Equipment Holder Model, Card Model,Connection, cable, Topology, Facility template, and Interface Model. Images aren't
supported.

A dedicated inventory template is generated for every rack/cabinet equipment holder, equipment model, and card model, with related templates generated based on defined model relationships. To learn how to importing models and
templates in JSON format see [Import models and templates in JSON format](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_heaO9S96gQBJ3z6nSwvdg "Create an import request to import your collection of models and templates in JSON format, and streamline the workflow using the Telecommunications Network Inventory application.")
