# Defining equipment model templates

# Defining equipment model templates {#ariaid-title1}

Create templates that you can assign to the equipment model entities that you created in the ServiceNow AI Platform. You can use these templates to characterize an equipment model or structure the data that describes your physical industrial facility by grouping similar types of equipment model entities.
* **[Create an equipment model template](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/UjHqaTBNJn7cHoDYwKBHcg)**   
  Create an equipment model template record that identifies and describes the use of the template. After you create an equipment model template, you can create hierarchical levels and types for it.
* **[Create hierarchical sorting levels for an equipment model template](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/QQzfAcoOAXxdYhTgwDmnXw)**   
  Create and assign hierarchical levels for your equipment model template. When you assign an equipment template to an equipment model, these levels sort and structure the data you see in it.
* **[Create equipment model level types](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/G0aXRb3bLmHj1gYfchZ45g)**   
  Create granular level types within each equipment model template level that you created. The granular level types that you create within that level describe the type of production processes within it.
