# Creating a new Entity

## From the UI

You can create entities of a given type directly from its respective [catalog](/basic-concepts/catalogs.md).

From here, you can create an entity by:

* Filling in its [metadata](/basic-concepts/entities.md) fields (title, id, description).
* Or by directly providing a valid [entity descriptor](/basic-concepts/entities.md#entity-descriptor).
