# Project and Entities

{% hint style="info" %}
This page illustrates the relationship between Project and Entities, and how to create, modify, delete entities
{% endhint %}

## Project and Entity management

Each project can support multiple entities, allowing for the separate processing of financial data of each entity.

* Each entity has its own data sources, transactions, and reports. All data between entities is completely isolated.
* Projects are used to manage the general information of entities, member permissions, and operation logs.

## Creating a new Entity

1. Navigate to **Settings** > **Entities**.
2. Click on **Add Entity**, and fill in the general information to create a new entity.
