Domain Templates
Domain templates are pre-built configurations that instantly set up your Powoflow workspace for a specific industry. Each template includes resource types, hierarchy rules, preventive maintenance (PM) templates, and ISO 14224 failure coding tailored to the domain.
Applying a Template
- Navigate to Settings → Templates
- Browse the available templates (9 industry domains)
- Click Apply Template to add the resource types, hierarchy rules, and failure modes to your organization
- Optionally, click Deploy Examples to create a sample asset hierarchy with realistic data
Templates are additive and can be combined. For example, apply both Fleet Management and Renewable Energy if you manage solar-powered vehicle fleets, or combine Marine & Fleet with Offshore Fleet Operations for a full maritime operation.
Applying a template does not overwrite existing data. It merges new resource types and rules into your organization. If a resource type with the same name already exists, it will be skipped.

Deploy Examples
After applying a template, click Deploy Examples to generate a sample asset hierarchy populated with realistic data. This is useful for:
- Learning how the hierarchy is structured before creating your own assets
- Testing integrations and dashboards with real-looking data
- Training team members in a sandbox environment
Deploy Examples creates real records in your organization. You can archive or purge the sample assets later from the asset detail page, but it is recommended to use this feature in a non-production environment first.
Combining Templates
Templates are designed to be composed. Common combinations include:
| Use Case | Templates to Combine |
|---|---|
| Maritime company with shore-side facilities | Marine & Fleet + Facilities Management |
| Offshore operator with onshore support | Offshore Fleet Operations + Fleet Management |
| Mixed-use resort | Ski Resort Operations + Building Maintenance |
| Factory with on-site power generation | Manufacturing & Industrial + Renewable Energy |
| Chemical plant with vehicle fleet | Heavy Industry + Fleet Management |
When templates share similar resource types (e.g., both include "Generator"), the first applied version is kept and duplicates are skipped.
