# Knowledge Types

> Configure knowledge item types for your Kodexa organization, defining categories of knowledge items that can be created and managed across projects.

Knowledge Types define the categories of knowledge items that can be created and managed within your organization. They provide the structural framework for organizing extracted knowledge across projects.

## What are Knowledge Types?

Knowledge Types categorize the items in your knowledge system. For example, you might define knowledge types for:

* **Entities** — People, companies, locations referenced in documents
* **Clauses** — Contractual clauses or legal terms
* **Requirements** — Compliance requirements or specifications

Each knowledge type defines the structure and behavior of the items that belong to it.

## Managing Knowledge Types

### Creating a Knowledge Type

**1. Click Add Knowledge Type**

Open the creation form from the Knowledge Types page.

**2. Configure Properties**

Set the name, description, and any configuration properties for the type.

**3. Save**

The knowledge type becomes available for use across all projects in your organization.
