# Create an inventory template for the equipment model

In the Inventory Template form in the Network Inventory Workspace Lists view, you can create an inventory template for the equipment model.

## Procedure

When you create an equipment inventory model, you must enter the following information:

1.  In the **Name** and **Inventory Model** fields, your names and inventory model number must be unique for that piece of equipment. They can't be the same as any other piece of equipment.
2.  In the **Inventory Model** field, you must enter a reference qualifier to the equipment model.
3.  In the **Default Field Values** field, you need to select a default template for the tagging of the default attribute values.

    **Note:** These rules also apply to the remaining steps to this process. To learn more, see:
