|Required fields |**Display Name *** (Primary field) | By default, every entity contains a Primary Field, which is used by lookup fields when establishing relationships with other entities. Typically the primary field stores the name or primary description of the data stored in the entity. You may update the name and display name of the primary field before saving the entity for the first time. Also, observe that the primary field also has its own **Name** box, which functions similarly to the entity name described above. The primary field name is autopopulated when a display name is entered, uses the same prefix as the entity, and cannot be changed after the entity is created. |

On the entity details page, observe that the entity is now being provisioned in the background. Once provisioning is completed, your entity will be saved and available for use in apps. Fields, relationships, and keys can be added to your entity at any time (even while provisioning is still in progress), but views, forms, charts, dashboards, and business rules can only be added to the entity after provisioning is completed.
