# Viewing the list of entity types

The **Entity Types** list displays the additional types that you created or imported, and provides access to the [list of built-in types](/textual/entity-types/built-in-entity-types.md).

To display the **Entity Types** page, in the navigation menu, click the entity types icon.

## Information in the list <a href="#custom-entity-type-list-info" id="custom-entity-type-list-info"></a>

For each entity type, the **Entity Types** page includes the following information:

* Name of the entity type.
* For added model-based types:
  * The progression tracker. For more information, go to [Using the progression tracker](/textual/entity-types/entity-type-custom-model/using-the-progression-tracker.md).
  * The published model.
* Whether the type is an added regex type, an added model-based type, or a type that you imported from the entity type library.
* Whether the type is enabled for any datasets and if so, the number of datasets that it is enabled for. For more information, go to [Enabling entity types for datasets](/textual/entity-types/enabling-entity-types-for-datasets.md).

## Filtering the list <a href="#custom-entity-type-filter" id="custom-entity-type-filter"></a>

You can filter the list by type name, by category, and by the user who created the type.

### Filtering by name <a href="#custom-entity-type-filter-name" id="custom-entity-type-filter-name"></a>

To filter the list by the entity type name, in the search field, begin to type text in the name. As you type, Textual filters the list to only include matching entity types.

### Filtering by category <a href="#custom-entity-type-filter-type" id="custom-entity-type-filter-type"></a>

To filter the list based on whether the entity is regex-based, model-based, or was imported from the library:

1. Click **Categories**.
2. Check the checkbox next to each source type to include.

### Filtering by creator <a href="#custom-entity-type-filter-creator" id="custom-entity-type-filter-creator"></a>

To filter the list to only include custom entity types that were created by specific users:

1. Click **Creator**.
2. In the dropdown list, check the checkbox for each user to include.

## Sorting the list <a href="#custom-entity-type-list-sort" id="custom-entity-type-list-sort"></a>

The entity types are grouped by type. Within each type, they are sorted by name.

To reverse the order of the groups and names, click the **Name** column heading.
