# Equipment model templates

You can create equipment model templates you use to characterize an equipment model, or to structure the data that describes your physical industrial facility by grouping similar types of equipment model entities.

An equipment model template consists of the following components:

-   **Equipment model template**

    Name and description of the equipment model template.

-   **Equipment model template hierarchical levels**

    Assigned hierarchical levels that are used to sort and structure the equipment model data.

-   **Equipment model template hierarchical level types**

    Types that represent different types of the areas, functions, or production processes within a hierarchical level.


To learn more about equipment templates and see a graphic example of their structure, see [Industrial Process Manager common terminology](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/operational-technology/industrial-process-manager/isa-95-equipment-model.md) and [Defining equipment model templates](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/operational-technology/industrial-process-manager/defining-equipment-model-templates.md).
