Add your newly created embedding model in the semantic indexing table.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

2.  Select **New**.

3.  In the **Name** field, enter a unique name.

4.  In the Model Id field, enter a unique id.

5.  In the **One Extend Capability Definition** field, select a BYOM capability definition you created to set a provider for embedding model.

6.  In the **Model Config** field, select a configured embedding model.

7.  Select the **Active** option.

8.  Select the **Batching Supported** option if you want to configure batching for your embedding model.

9.  In the **Minimum Batch Size** and **Maximum Batch Size** fields, enter the required values.

10. In the **Error Handler Extension Instance** field, select an error handler instance.

    For more information, see [Create error handler extension point](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/ai-search/create-error-handler-extention-point.md).
