# Creating a new Entity

## From the UI

You can create entities of a given type directly from its respective [catalog](https://docs.rely.io/basic-concepts/catalogs).

From here, you can create an entity by:

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