# Workflow for the automated mapping feature

The Industrial Process Manager includes an automated flow for the automated mapping feature.

A predefined flows is included with this feature that you can use to schedule the assignment of OT devices to equipment model entities.

By using [Flow Designer](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/application-development/flow-designer.md), you can review and configure the predefined flow for your business needs.

## Flow available for this feature

The following table lists the predefined flow that is available with the Industrial Process Manager when installed with Operational Technology Manager.

|Application|Flow|
|-----------|----|
|Industrial Process Manager when installed with Operational Technology Manager|OT device mapping flow|

## General use cases for the automated mapping feature

These use cases typically apply for the automated mapping feature:

-   An OT manager has existing OT devices and wants to map individual OT devices​ on demand.
-   An OT admin wants to automatically map newly detected OT devices with valid IP addresses to an equipment model entity.

The following is a typical workflow for the automated mapping feature.

-   A system admin imports OT subnet data into the OT subnet mapping table from an Excel spreadsheet using [Easy Import](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/integrate-applications/c_EasyImport.md).
-   Either the Amazing admin reviews the imported data records and associates \(maps\) OT subnet mapping records to a site and/or the Equipment Model Entity within that site.
-   The Amazing admin activates or triggers the scheduled flow to automatically map OT devices for all sites on an instance.
-   The Amazing editor can update the records that belong to the sites that they have editing access to.
