Define your data model with templates

You can apply data model templates that automatically create objects, properties, pipelines, and associations relevant to your industry. Using a template, you can skip the manual work of setting up your data model and more efficiently and reliably track data in your CRM database.

If you don't want to apply all elements of a template, you can choose which parts to include, or activate individual objects in the object library.

Available templates

At this time, the following data model templates are available:

• Real estate: for real estate companies, such as agencies and property management firms, that work with real estate listings. This template recommends activating the Listings object and associating it with contacts. It also includes recommended custom properties and deal pipelines for renting, buying, and selling.
• Healthcare (Enterprise only): for healthcare organizations that work with healthcare services and patients. This template recommends activating the Appointments and Services objects with custom properties and adding new custom properties for contacts.
• Education: for schools, colleges, universities, and other educational organizations. This template recommends activating the Courses object and associating it with contacts. It also includes custom properties and association labels for Contact-to-Contact and Contacts-to-Courses associations.

Apply a template

To apply a template:

• In your HubSpot account, navigate to Data Management > Data Model.
• Click Define data model with templates.

• In the right panel, select a template, then click Next.

Please note: to select the Healthcare template, you must turn on Health/Medical Data in your Sensitive Data settings.

• Review the recommendations, and make changes if needed:
  • By default, all recommendations are set to Activated or Included. This means the recommendation will be added to your account once the template is applied.
  • To leave out a recommended change, clear the [Activated/Included] checkbox. For example, you may want to activate a new object but don't want to include a suggested property.

• Once you're done, click Next.
• Review the changes that'll be made to your account, then click Confirm.
• A banner will appear letting you know the template was applied successfully. To view more information about an object created or impacted by the template, click the Settings link.

• Once you're finished, click Done.

You can now use the objects, properties, pipelines, and associations created by the template. You can also view and manage them in the data model overview or object library.
