# Configure Custom Entities

During the[ topic configuration](/crystal-console/topics-configuration/configure.md) phase you might need to customize the **main column** (Y-axis).

You can create a custom entity right away. In the **column** drop-down menu, select **create a custom entity**:

![](/files/g9UYPqLc9DCgh6oWes2j)

A new window will open, and you'll be able to create your custom entity **formula**, add **conditions** and, of course, insert your custom entity **name:**

As you can see, we provided you with some **custom entity examples.** If you're in doubt with formulas and conditions, this video might help you out:

You can customize your entity even further by **adding key values** (see also [Topic configuration: the key values](/crystal-console/topics-configuration/configure/key-values.md)) to your custom entity by clicking on the **Add key value** button just below. A new window will pop-up allowing you to edit your key value:

Moreover, you can also sort the custom entity you created under **Modify data table** (see also [Topic configuration: modify data table](/crystal-console/topics-configuration/configure/modify-data-table.md)) by clicking on the **Sort button:**

If you want, you can also **edit a previously created custom entity**: keep in mind that it **works only for topics in "ready" status** ([check this article](/crystal-console/topics-configuration/statuses.md) for more information on topic statuses).

You will be allowed to change the **formulas** and **conditions** but **not** **the custom column name**.&#x20;

Here's a sample of how the **custom entity editing** works:

{% embed url="<https://www.loom.com/share/4ef5e5f5ff58473ab1f3e2b58f5d4e84>" %}

NB: when you edit a custom entity, a message will pop-up to warn you about the **topics** that would be **affected** by the **editing**. Keep in mind their **status won't change**:

![](/files/93MpXGEQldalz8uzSsM0)

Eventually, if you want to **edit the aliases** of your custom entity, you will find them in the **Entity management panel.**
