Create an entity for a new equipment model

Create an entity for a new equipment model. You do this task when you want to manually create a new equipment model entity directly in the ServiceNow AI Platform rather than import the equipment model data from an external source.

Before you begin

Role required: cmdb_ot_isa_editor, cmdb_ot_isa_admin.

About this task

Users with an assigned cmdb_ot_isa_admin role can view equipment model entities for any site. However, users with an assigned cmdb_ot_isa_editor role can only access those sites that an administrator has granted access to for specific users. To learn more about granting site access, see Assign or remove equipment model site access for non-administrators.
