Use object templates

Standardize object creation with reusable templates.

Object templates help you create similar objects faster.

They also improve consistency across your asset data.

When templates help

Use templates when you often create the same type of object.

Examples include standard installations, recurring equipment models, or fixed field combinations.

Reuse it during creation

When you add a new object, choose the template first.
