  1. Click the New icon on the toolbar and select Entity.
  2. Enter the entity name.
  3. Choose Create Local Entity or select an existing entity as a base.
  4. Click Next.

Step 2: Select a Manifest

  1. Select the manifest where the entity will be created.
  2. Click Next.

Step 3: Add a Type Attribute

  1. Enter a name for the type attribute.
  2. Select the data type for the attribute.
  3. Click to add the attribute to the entity.
  4. Click Finish.

The entity is created and appears under its manifest in the Project Navigator. You can continue editing it to add more attributes, relationships, and metadata.
