# Creating Entity Objects

:lock: EntityTypeName.**Create**

There are several ways to create a new entity object in the system:

* Through the entity landing page in the **Business Data** menu entry.
* From an existing entity object page.
* Loading the entity using Master Data Packages.

## Entity Landing Page

There is a **New** button available in all the entity landing pages, together with a query that displays all the existing active objects for that particular entity type. Selecting that button will bring up a Create dialog and allow the creation of a new object of that type.

## Entity Object Page

A **New** button is available in the **More** dropdown button in the top ribbon of an entity object page. Selecting that button will bring up a Create dialog and allow the creation of a new object of that type.

For versioned entities, the **New** button is located directly in the top ribbon and you can choose between creating a revision or a new version.
