# Creating Local RSLs from RCM Analyses

You can create a Local RSL directly from a completed RCM Analysis. This lets you build the Assessment once and reuse it as a template for similar Equipment within the same Equipment group or FLOC type, instead of repeating the full RCM Analysis for each asset.

## How to create a Local RSL

1. Click **Analysis** to open the Analysis Main Screen (Grid List).
2. Select the RCM Analysis you want to use as the source.
3. Click the *Create RSL from Tag Analysis* button.
4. Define the **Title**, **Description**, **Location Type**, and **Equipment Group**, and set whether the RSL is active.
5. Click **Save**.

Note

- Document the new RSL and any revisions applied.
- Record why the RSL was created — this helps future reviewers understand its intent.
- Just as a Global RSL must be [Localized](/v414/docs/rsl-basics#localization) before use, an RSL created from an RCM Analysis may need to be Generalized before you apply it elsewhere — for example, by removing Equipment-specific details that won't apply to other assets in the group.
