**Create an Entity**

Learn how to create an entity in Confidence.

[Do this via the API →](/docs/reference/api/how-to-guides/metrics/create-entity.md)

An [entity](/docs/capabilities/metrics/entities.md) is something that can be uniquely identified and randomized, like a user.

## Create an Entity

**1. Go to Confidence**

**2. Select Admin > Entities**

On the left sidebar, select **Admin > Entities**.

**3. Click + Create**

**4. Enter the entity key**

In the **Entity key** field, enter a unique identifier for the entity. This key is used to reference the entity in the API.

**5. Enter the display name**

In the **Display name** field, enter a human-readable name for the entity.

**6. Specify the primary key type**

Select the data type of the identifier that identifies the entity. For example, if you have a UUID that identifies your entities, your primary key type is a **String**.

**7. Click Create**

> [!TIP]
>
> To create entities via the API, see [Create Entities](/docs/reference/api/how-to-guides/metrics/create-entity.md) in the API how-to guides.
