Create an entity for a new equipment model. You do this task when you want to
manually create a new equipment model entity directly in the ServiceNow AI Platform rather
than import the equipment model data from an external source.

## Before you begin

Role required: cmdb_ot_isa_editor, cmdb_ot_isa_admin.

## About this task

Users with an assigned cmdb_ot_isa_admin role can view equipment model entities for any site. However, users with an assigned cmdb_ot_isa_editor role can only access those sites that an administrator has
granted access to for specific users. To learn more about granting site access, see [Assign or remove equipment model site access for non-administrators](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/MDKXEu2wh~V3BVnSjp4KXg "Assign or remove equipment model site access for non-administrators. You can create the user criteria to determine whether certain users can access the equipment model entities for specific sites.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllIndustrial Workspace AdminIndustrial Process ManagerEquipment Model Manager.
2. In the Equipment model view for field, select the site that you want to view the equipment model information for.  
   You can search for a site by typing in the site name or its short code.
3. Select Create new entity.
4. In the Create new entity window, search for and select the parent entity.  
   Note:  
   You can search the parent entity by short code or name.
5. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   {#create-entity-new-equipment-model__table_xw1_t4c_3qb__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|

   | Entity name | Name of the equipment model entity. |
   | Short Code | Short code that is assigned to this entity. |
   | Entity type | Name of the level type that is assigned to the equipment model template level. For example, Material Assembly or Production Cell for a Work Center level. Search for and select an entity type. To learn more, see [Create equipment model level types](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/G0aXRb3bLmHj1gYfchZ45g "Create granular level types within each equipment model template level that you created.
