# Entity Catalog

## Overview

Moveworks entities help AI assistant in detecting key elements of user utterances (eg. software apps, hardware devices, locations, events & more), thereby powering downstream skills such as software provisioning, topics in EXI & AI assistant analytics, and more.

Entities are of two types:

* **Global entities:** Predefined, commonly used entities that are available across all customers. Eg. `Figma`, `Salesforce`, `Zoom`, and more
* **Custom entities:** Organization-specific entities configured by admins for internal use – these represent internal applications and tools specific to your enterprise. Eg. `ExpenseIQ` (expense management system), `TimeOff` (PTO request tool), `EmployeeConnect` (HR self-service portal) and more

### What is Entity Catalog?

Entity Catalog serves as the repository of the custom entities within MW Setup. It enables admins to independently configure and manage their organizations' entities.

> **Info**
>
> **Note**: Currently, the Entity Catalog in Moveworks Setup supports only software application entities.

### How to access Entity Catalog in Moveworks Setup?

Navigate to **MW Setup** > **Core Platform** section > **Entity Catalog** to access custom software entities. Admins can view, create, and modify these entities.
