# Importing models and templates in JSON format

Import equipment models and inventory templates together in a single operation using JSON format in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application.

In scenarios where models and templates are exported from external network management systems, JSON is a more natural and efficient format. The import models and templates in JSON format feature lets you bring both models and templates together in a single import operation using a JSON file. The JSON import supports Equipment Model, Equipment Holder Model, Card Model,Connection, cable, Topology, Facility template, and Interface Model. Images aren't supported.

A dedicated inventory template is generated for every rack/cabinet equipment holder, equipment model, and card model, with related templates generated based on defined model relationships.
