# Entity Type Scope

## Overview

The context in which a **UI Page** can be used is determined by the Scope. The **Entity Type** scope associates a **UI Page** with a specific entity type (for example, Resource, Material, or Product).

When the scope is set to **Entity Type**, the Properties tab of the **UI Page** settings automatically includes an Entity Type Id property with the following characteristics:

* Source set to `UrlParameter`;
* Required flag enabled (`true`).

This configuration ensures that the **UI Page** always receives the entity identifier from the navigation context. For more information, see [[user-guide-uipages-design#properties]].

## Pin to Quick Access

**UI Pages** with an **Entity Type** scope can be pinned to Quick Access. When enabling Pin To Quick Access, you can define whether the pinned entry is available to:

* All Users;
* A specific Role.

When pinned, the **UI Page** becomes available in the **View UIPages** dropdown, allowing you to access it quickly without navigating through additional menus.
