# Create a Project

In EasyEdge, a **project** is represented by a **System**, which belongs to an **Entity** within your **EasyEdge Account**. This structure allows you to logically separate different industrial environments, business units, or customer deployments—all while maintaining centralized control.

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 When you first sign in to EasyEdge Studio, a default Entity called **“My Entity”** and a default System called **“My System”** are automatically created for you.\
You can use these to get started quickly, rename them to suit your needs, or create new ones from scratch.
{% endhint %}

## Step 1: Create an Entity

An **Entity** acts as a container for one or more Systems. It can represent:

* A customer
* A facility or plant
* A business unit or operational domain

To create a new Entity:

1. Go to the EasyEdge Studio dashboard.
2. Navigate to the **Entities** section.
3. Click **Create Entity** and fill in the required details (name, description, etc.).

## Step 2: Create a System (Project)

A **System** is where your actual project is built—it contains all EdgeNodes, Data Streams, Workflows, and Logic.

To create a new System:

1. Open the desired **Entity**.
2. Click **Add System**.
3. Define the System name, description, and location coordinates. This System will serve as your project workspace, where all engineering and edge deployment activities take place.

Each System can include:

* Multiple **EdgeNodes** deployed at the edge
* One or more **Namespaces** to organize data flows
* All engineering elements like Workflows, Filters, and Algorithms

{% hint style="info" %}
🧠 Think of an Entity as the *“who or what”* and the System as the *“where”*—your actual project setup.
