# Navigate the equipment model with the breadcrumb trail

Use the breadcrumb trail at the top of the page title to open a different level in the equipment model hierarchy from the current functional location.

## Before you begin

Select a functional location from the Home menu in the Digital Factory Workspace to set the context.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Digital Factory Workspace** > **Equipment Model**.
