   For information about why you do this, see View and edit master data entries.

3. On the Master Data Entries page for the selected master data type, click New.
4. On the Master Data Entry Details page, enter a Master Data Entry ID, specified as a valid URI.

   For more information about working in this page, see Configuration Options.

5. [Optional] Choose a master data type from the Master Data Type drop-down list to create a master data entry based on a master data type other than the one you chose in step 2, above. If you want to create a master data entry based on the master data type you selected in step 2, do not select a different master data type here.
6. [Optional] Add one or more master data entries as children to this master data entry.

   For instructions, see Add child master data entries.
