# Custom Entities

Custom Entity is a new Entity that can be published as a custom projection. Configuring Custom Entities has the same capabilities as creating Custom Logical Units in APPS10.

Custom Entities can be also be a published as a new Custom Projection to be used in Flow by selecting *Create projection* in entity configuration page. 

Read from IFS Technical Documentation, search for **create custom entity.**

Once published, new custom projection is named with prefix CustomProjection\<custom entity name> and can be found from API Explorer.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.novacura.com/flow-ifs-cloud-development-guidelines/flow-development-with-odata/configuration/configuring-projections-in-ifs/custom-entities.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
